Mathematical activities of "Counting" for kindergarten small classes

Design intention

Children in small classes are exposed to and understand numbers, and initially understand the actual meaning of numbers. This activity aims to make children willing to participate in group activities, experience the fun of mathematical activities in the game, and be able to eliminate size and color through games such as picking up eggs by numbers, counting eggs, playing "stealing eggs", and helping mother chickens count eggs. , arrangement form and other factors, learn to count in an orderly manner with hands and mouth, without missing a number, and say the total.

Comments: The teacher’s selection of materials and design ideas are good. The "Guide" points out: Children's understanding of the meaning of cardinal numbers gradually develops from their counting practice. It is counting. The special feature is that the action of counting and the reflection on the action play the role of a bridge - helping young children establish a connection between concrete objects and abstract number concepts.

Activity goals

1. Willing to participate in group activities and experience the fun of mathematical activities in games.

2． Learn to count quantitative objects within 5 with hands and mouth in an orderly manner and state the total.

Comments: The teacher’s big goal is more appropriate, taking “willingness to participate in group activities and experience the fun of mathematical activities in games” as an important goal of this activity. Mathematics is more abstract. For children in small classes to learn mathematics, teachers need to create game scenarios. Only when children experience the fun of mathematics activities in games can they stimulate their interest in learning mathematics and be willing to participate in group activities.

Activity preparation

1. Knowledge and experience: Children have learned the numbers 1-5 and have preliminary counting experience.

2． Materials: little mouse headdress, 6 large baskets, 30 small baskets, egg babies (cooked duck eggs, eggs); one row or two rows of egg plates for each person, 30 cards with different numbers of eggs, " There are three warehouses, a large blackboard and number cards from 1 to 5.

Activity process

1. "Pick up eggs" - learn to count quantitative objects within 5 with hands and mouth in unison.

(1) Free to collect eggs. Requirements: Pick one up and count them one by one; the eggs picked up should match the number on the basket.

(2) Question: How many eggs did you pick up? (Check whether the eggs picked up by the children correspond to the numbers.)

(3) Pick up the eggs again. Requirements: Make a loud sound, count while picking up, and fill every hole in the egg plate.

Comments: Teachers focus on creating a free and relaxed game environment. Arrange a piece of grass with many eggs on it, and prepare an egg tray that can hold 2-5 eggs. The holes in the egg plate are the same as the numbers posted on it, guiding children to pick up eggs according to the numbers and get objects according to the numbers. Let the children learn to count objects within 5 with their hands and mouth in the process of picking up eggs. The children are very interested. For children with different abilities, teachers provide guidance by asking questions and picking up eggs again to promote the further development of children with different ability levels. The prepared eggs are of different sizes so that children can feel that counting is not limited by size.

2． "Counting eggs" - learning to count quantitative objects within 5 in an orderly manner.

(1) Concentrate counting: How many eggs are there on the plate? Count them while counting.

(2) Guide to thinking: I also picked up a lot of eggs, but I can’t count them, who can help me?

(3) Teacher-child communication: Discover the order of counting eggs in a row - start counting from the front.

(4) Guide to thinking: I found that some egg trays are different from mine. How to count these two rows of egg trays and round egg trays?

(5) Teachers and children discussed and communicated and found out the order of counting of two rows of egg trays - counting row by row. ; The order of counting points on a round egg plate - counting in a clockwise direction without repeated counting.

(6) Summary: No matter how the eggs are arranged, counting in an orderly manner can avoid counting errors.

Comments: Mathematics activities are generally high-structured content. The teacher chooses to abdicate at this stage and ask the children to help the teacher count the eggs to mobilize the enthusiasm of the children. Then, he will show the eggs in different arrangements to Heuristic questions guide children to count eggs in the correct way, which embodies the teaching principle of starting from the shallower to the deeper and gradually improving the difficulty.

3． Game: "Little Mouse Stealing Eggs" - further consolidate the points within 5.

(1) The teacher introduces the gameplay and rules: when hearing "asleep", children should close their eyes.

(2) Teachers and children *** play the game "Little Mouse Stealing Eggs" together to inspire children to count whether their eggs have been eaten by mice, further consolidating the counting method of hand and mouth.

Comments: In this session, the teacher designed the game "Little Mouse Stealing Eggs" to further consolidate the counting method of hand and mouth, mobilize children's interest in counting repeatedly, and organically penetrate more and less to guide children to say After the little mouse stole the eggs, did you have more or fewer eggs in your hand? How many were missing?

4. Game: "Help Mother Chicken Count Eggs" - further learn about quantitative objects with different numbers arranged in different ways.

(1) Egg delivery: Children are asked to count the eggs in the egg plate and deliver them to the corresponding numbered warehouse.

(2) Eggs on children’s counting cards: How many eggs did the mother chicken lay? Can you please help it count? After counting, put it in the corresponding warehouse.

(3) Summary: No matter how the eggs are arranged—closely together, spaced apart, hidden behind, or placed on plates of different shapes, children will Able to count them in an orderly manner and place them in the corresponding warehouse. Mother Chicken is very happy, thank you children!

Comments: In this session, the teacher designed the game plot again to further consolidate the counting of eggs in different arrangements by helping Mother Chicken count eggs, and mobilize the children's ability to count repeatedly. interest, and permeate the classification and placement, and at the same time improve the difficulty - transition from counting physical eggs to counting eggs on the cards, because only part of the eggs in the back row on the card can be seen, and children need to carefully observe and count correctly. Children learn through play, gain development through play, and successfully complete activity B targets.
