As a rule, the multiplication table of ex-first-graders learn to ask for the summer holidays or shtudiruet in second grade, discouraging young thinkers love of mathematics.
Many teachers several years show a decline in the level of mathematics education and say that it all begins with the wrong approach in learning multiplication tables. How to help your child to master it without pain and with advantage?
The textbooks and exercise books in mathematics multiplication table is presented as follows:
Habitual eight columns, where each number from 2 to 9, multiplied by the number from 1 to 10. We are all with you once taught table it is on this model. Well taught ...
Painfully crammed to "bounced from the teeth", and learned first examples damn confused in our minds, and then gradually, gradually, fit small shtabelkami. We thought that in another way can not learn the multiplication table. It turns out you can! In fact, the table looks like Pythagoras.
At first, it is really a table, instead of columns with the answers. Secondly, it is interesting for a child who loves to explore and wonder discoveries. The child will learn and this table to learn along the way looking at prescription examples of interesting pieces and patterns.
What this table is better?
- It has no information "garbage."
- Above it you might think: it does not say that this multiplication - it's just a table.
- When the table is constantly at hand, the child perforce begins to memorize these numbers and remember he needs much less.
- Moreover, the child will automatically find patterns, and not even being able to multiply. For example: the numbers symmetric about a diagonal equal.
You know that the default brain is designed to seek symmetry? And when he finds it, very happy. This means that the child himself, he opens the regularity of the permutation of the factors does not change the product. And the fact that the man discovered he realized, he will remember forever, rather than what he was forced to learn by heart.
P.S. Print plate Pythagoras, stick one on the cover of a notebook or textbook, and the other - on thick cardboard, and let it always be at hand in the child.
