How to Cultivate Primary School Students' Mathematical Cognitive Ability

Among them, the correspondence between number and quantity is the first and most important step for children to learn mathematics from an early age. At first, babies learned to "sing" Arabic numerals from adults, but they didn't really understand their quantitative significance. Then they have to learn the skills of counting procedures under the demonstration of adults, and try to correspond oral counting, finger counting and counted objects one by one. Understanding and using "number" is an important skill in children's daily life, and it is also the premise of learning other mathematical knowledge and skills such as geometry and measurement. It can promote the development of infants' logical thinking and reasoning ability.

2. Classification and sorting

Can infants observe and compare things or phenomena and find their similarities and differences? Can infants find and realize that objects arranged according to certain rules are neat and beautiful? Classification, ranking and mode are one of the main contents of preschool mathematics education in China and Europe and America. Mathematical knowledge is also a kind of mathematical logic knowledge, which is closely related to logical reasoning ability such as classification, arrangement and pattern. In Montessori's environment, the work of classification and matching has actually paved a lot from the beginning. From the classification of socks, to the classification of knives and forks, to the classification of buttons of different colors, the work of classification and collocation is everywhere. In the sensory part, pink towers, long sticks and brown ladders were disrupted and rearranged into orderly works. A lot of sensory work helped the baby to establish the ability to establish order from disorder. With the previous foundation, after classification, children can be sorted by numbers.
