Features: This series has the following characteristics:
(1) Scientificity. It is closely aligned with the textbooks and goes beyond them. The knowledge points in each book are based on the teaching syllabi for primary school subjects and supplemented with a wealth of extracurricular knowledge. According to the age characteristics and educational principles of primary school students, the content is arranged in a step-by-step manner to help them master basic knowledge and learning methods.
(2) Diversity. Based on the predictions of educational institutions regarding future reforms and developments in primary education, as well as the diverse learning needs of primary school students, this book incorporates some of the latest research findings in psychology and education, giving it a certain flexibility and choice.
(3) Informational. The book selects some knowledge related to textbook content, reflecting the latest achievements in science and technology in China and the world (e.g., the humanly concerned environmental and energy issues), to broaden students' horizons, expand their information intake, and cultivate their ability to understand and adapt to the future world.
(4) Comprehensiveness. It emphasizes the intrinsic connections between disciplines, the relationship between knowledge and society, the connection between students and knowledge, and more.
(5) Engaging. Adhering to the principle of "learning through play," the book is equipped with numerous illustrations and graphics, using various forms such as games and storytelling, to help primary school students learn knowledge in an enjoyable and relaxed manner. This book presents a colorful world of knowledge to primary school students who are about to step into the 21st century, allowing them to explore this world with joy!
Guided by the spirit of "learning through play" and in line with the current reforms of primary school curriculum education, this book introduces 20 interesting stories in the form of mathematical games. These stories (infuse) an understanding of geometric shapes, counting methods, and the introduction of set concepts; the use of drawing tools in mathematics, drawing methods, skill acquisition, and the development of hands-on operational abilities; concepts such as divisibility, area, and perimeter; and the scientific methods of mathematics, including inductive and deductive reasoning. This book is suitable for second and third-grade students in five-year and six-year primary school systems.
Some of these contents can enhance knowledge, some can improve intelligence, some can connect the mathematical content of primary school classroom teaching with real-life applications, further consolidating the foundational knowledge learned; some can serve as tools and keys for parents and teachers to understand the intellectual development levels of their children; and some are more advanced, which can also stimulate the motivation of intellectually gifted children to delve deeper into mathematics.
The perimeter and area of geometric shapes are two mathematical concepts that primary school students often find difficult to distinguish. If not guided properly from an early age, they may still struggle to differentiate between the two when they reach junior high school. One of the purposes of this book is to provide early education and exposure to important mathematical concepts for primary school students, laying a solid foundation for future learning.
This book is a supplementary reading material for primary school mathematics. When guiding primary school students to use this book, parents and teachers should create a relaxed self-learning environment for the children, avoiding a didactic approach and instead promoting inquiry-based learning to cultivate their interest in learning, imagination, observation skills, and creativity, thereby highlighting the students' active role.
