Features: Tom is a warm and hospitable cat. One day, he baked a dozen cookies and invited his friends to share them with him. He first divided the dozen cookies into three parts. Seeing these tempting cookies, Tom couldn’t resist eating his share. How to divide the remaining cookies equally into three parts—Tom was stumped...
When it comes to math, we often instinctively think of endless formulas and dazzling geometric shapes... For preschool children, learning math is an even more complex process. They might ask: Math is so difficult—how can I learn it well?
Actually, math isn’t difficult at all! From the shapes of everyday objects to a child’s favorite small ball, they all contain mathematical principles. As long as children learn flexible mathematical thinking methods, math will become simple.
To this end, we have introduced the "Happy Math Stories" series from abroad. This is a set of reading materials that comprehensively expands children’s mathematical thinking and stimulates their mathematical potential. With experienced math stories and activities, it ingeniously breaks the traditional learning model of rote memorization of mathematical theorems and formulas. It provides children with clever methods to recognize the value of math from a life perspective and apply mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems.
During the process of reading stories and playing games, parents should also get involved: Encourage children to retell the stories. The more familiar children are with the stories, the clearer their understanding of the mathematical concepts within them. Retelling stories also helps children learn to express their thoughts and ideas clearly. Let children engage in math activities through games. Parents should fully respect children’s opinions, allowing them to enjoy the process and thus cultivate their interest and curiosity. Encourage activities that use concrete materials, which help make abstract mathematical concepts more tangible.
Of course, children cannot master all of this before school age. However, developing the ability to see problems from a mathematical perspective and think mathematically should begin in early childhood.
With "Happy Math Stories," children can gradually develop good mathematical thinking habits and fall in love with math effortlessly through the process of reading stories and playing games.
