Features: When it comes to mathematics, we often instinctively think of endless formulas and dazzling geometric shapes. For preschool children, learning mathematics is an even more complex process. They might ask, "Math is so hard—how can I do well in it?" In reality, mathematics isn’t difficult at all! From the various shapes of everyday objects to a child’s favorite small ball, they all contain mathematical principles. As long as children learn to master flexible mathematical thinking methods, mathematics 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 mathematical storytelling and activities, it is ingeniously unique, breaking the traditional learning model of rote memorization of mathematical theorems and formulas. It provides children with various clever methods to recognize the value of mathematics from a life perspective and apply mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems.
During the process of reading stories and playing games, parents should also be involved: Encourage children to retell the stories. The more familiar children are with the stories, the better they will understand the mathematical concepts within them. Retelling stories also helps children learn to express their thoughts and ideas clearly. Let children engage in mathematical 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 helps to concretize abstract mathematical concepts.
Of course, children cannot master all of these things before school age. However, developing the ability to view problems from a mathematical perspective and think mathematically should begin in early childhood. The "Happy Math Stories" series allows children to develop good mathematical thinking habits subconsciously through the relaxed process of reading stories and happily playing games, helping them unknowingly fall in love with mathematics!
