How to make a first grade mathematics summary tabloid

In 2003, as a teacher who had just graduated, it should be said that I was very lucky. As soon as I entered the job, I was fortunate to be baptized by the country's new round of curriculum reform.

In my teaching, I found that some students do not like to take math classes; they learn book knowledge without being able to apply it in real life; and their hands-on ability is not very strong. In response to these problems, in my continuous study and practice, I have tried to evaluate students' homework by advocating students to run special homework, mainly to let students change the previous single homework evaluation model by running mathematics tabloids and inspire students Increase students' interest in learning mathematics, enhance students' hands-on ability, enhance students' self-confidence in learning mathematics, and allow students to truly feel that mathematics is everywhere in life and mathematics is around us.

Now let me talk in detail about some experience gained in nearly four years of practice and exploration, and communicate with you.

1. Basis before establishment.

Before I started a mathematics tabloid, I thought about many issues. First of all, I studied the curriculum standards in depth and guided students to create a mathematics tabloid based on the concepts that mathematics comes from life and serves life; mathematics is everywhere in life.

I have guided students to start a mathematics tabloid since the first grade, and formulated plans based on students' knowledge needs and practical abilities at different stages of schooling and the age characteristics of students at different ages. In the first grade, in view of the characteristics of lower grade students who like beautiful patterns and bright colors but have poor hands-on ability, we choose a method of cutting and pasting mathematics-related pictures in daily life with the guidance of teachers and the help of parents, and pasting them in 8-open format with the help of parents. on cardboard. In the second grade, students can slowly try to find pictures from their daily lives and cut and paste them on cardboard. They can also try to write the collected information in the corresponding columns of the tabloid by themselves or with the help of their parents. And try to design the lace yourself and paint it with colors. In the third grade, students can be allowed to design the layout, borders, columns, and content by themselves, and students can be allowed to read books by themselves. In the fourth grade, since students have already acquired the abilities of the previous three years, in addition to consulting books, students can also use modern means, such as online searches, to collect information on mathematics.

In terms of content, I require the student tabloids to be wider in scope and richer in content, including stories about mathematicians, the discovery of mathematical theorems, some interesting mathematical phenomena, interesting mathematical knowledge, and Challenging math problems, Olympiad platforms, and more. Write down and draw what you think you did well in your studies. For example, clever solutions when solving problems, in-depth thinking about a certain problem, etc.

In terms of form, I advocate that it can be diverse, but it must be standardized and individual. Since it is a newspaper, we have to make it look like a newspaper. I plan to let students understand the general layout of newspapers through observation and analysis of "Daqing Evening News", "Daqing Education News" and other newspapers. But standards do not mean uniformity. I also advocate that student newspapers should have their own personality. First of all, you need to create a registration that is distinctive, loud and easy to remember. The students used their brains and imagination and came up with many wonderful names. I provided several names for the students, such as "Mathematics World", "Wonderful Mathematics", "Mathematics World", "Mathematics Paradise", "Mathematics Intelligence Express", "Mathematics Spring Dawn", "Mathematics Magnifying Glass" and "Mathematics". How amazing” and so on. In addition, in terms of specific layout, I also plan to let students create their own personality and style. They can design and make lace by themselves, and color it. Students who are good at computers can also insert some beautiful patterns by themselves, so that the tabloid not only has good content , and its beautiful appearance makes it "love at first sight" at first sight.

After students create a mathematics tabloid, it is more important to read the newspaper. I plan for students to design and conceive their own tabloids at the beginning of each month. After the student newspapers are completed, they will design an exchange class in the class once a month around the end of the month to display the better works one by one. However, due to the small number of classes, The class is large and the space in the class is limited, so I designed a "mathematics wall newspaper area" and posted these tabloids on the wall of the class, allowing them to be readers of each other, read what other people's newspapers are like, and learn from each other's strengths.

2. The founding process of the mathematics tabloid.

Textbooks are not only good learning tools for students, but the knowledge learned in the textbooks is also a very good source for us to create a mathematics tabloid.

I taught two classes. When I was in the first grade, I encouraged students to run a math tabloid. At the beginning of the first grade, because the students had just started school and their hands-on ability was not very strong, it was very difficult for students to run a math tabloid. Confused, I didn’t know where to start or how to do it, so I asked the students to first observe the layout and mode of "Daqing Education News" and "Daqing Evening News", and make a mathematics tabloid by themselves to give students a reference. Create accordingly. In the first grade, I guided the students to first determine the title of a tabloid called "Kingdom of Mathematics", and then design tabloid columns based on the knowledge they learned this month. The columns could include stories about mathematicians, interesting mathematics, mathematical stories, and mathematical games. Wait, after setting up the columns, students can go home and ask their parents to help them find the corresponding content and related pictures. The layout design will be designed by me on the computer for the students, printed on 8-inch paper, and sent to the students. , and then the students help to color these borders, the titles of the tabloids, etc., and then the students write the information that the parents help to find in the corresponding columns, and the parents help to cut and paste the corresponding pictures on the tabloid, so that the layout looks very Beautiful and beautiful, hand it in after you finish it.

After the students finished the math tabloid, I used the Monday afternoon of the last week of every month to hold a "communication display class" on time. I was the host and displayed the very good works on the physical projection. He also explained what was good about it, evaluated the students from the aspects of content design, layout design, column design, etc., and asked students to talk about what aspects they should improve on, which greatly stimulated students' interest in learning mathematics. After the first exhibition in the class, many students were inspired and started to conceive and organize again. They also created a mathematics tabloid and asked me to present it in the class. I satisfied the students' needs. wishes, and commented on their tabloid and this reflective and learning spirit. In order to allow more children to see the works of the whole class, I posted the tabloids produced by the students on the wall of the class as posters, so that students can appreciate other people's works in their spare time, which greatly enhanced student learning. Confidence in mathematics. The first two times, students and their parents completed the task of cutting and pasting tabloids together. Gradually, some students were able to collect pictures, cut and paste pictures, and check some information by themselves. Some students refuse to let their parents help them complete the task, and say to their parents: "Mom, I can complete it myself, you don't have to help me; just believe me!" and other words.

After students created the first-grade mathematics tabloid, the mathematics tabloids of most students in the class have basically taken shape. They are displayed in every "communication demonstration class" in the class, and the effect is very good.

By running a mathematics tabloid in the first grade, students have developed a strong interest in mathematics. The number of students actively participating in answering questions during mathematics class has increased significantly. Each one has expectant eyes, waving their little hands and shouting: " Teacher, call me, I can solve this problem; Teacher, I can, let me answer it! In the process of students making math tabloids, many children used cut-and-paste pictures to make up a lot of math stories. In the column "Mathematical Stories", some children wrote very well. For example, one child wrote that on Sunday, the weather was very sunny, the birds were singing in the sky, the little rabbits were playing on the grass, and the mother monkey I went up the mountain to pick peaches for the little monkeys. My mother picked a lot of peaches. She gave 3 peaches to the monkey brother, 3 peaches to the monkey sister, 2 peaches to the monkey brother, and 1 peach to the youngest monkey brother. . Children, do you know how many peaches the monkey mother picked in one day? (Please see the next issue of the tabloid for the answer) The students raised mathematical questions in the short stories and answered them, which greatly improved the students' ability to solve problems. At the same time, the students also cut and pasted pictures of peaches on the tabloid, which greatly improved the students' hands-on ability.

After a year of running newspapers in the first grade, by the second grade, I began to let go slowly. Students could choose their favorite tabloid topics. Many children had very nice names, such as: "Mathematics Kaleidoscope", "Wonderful Mathematics 123", "Mathematics Drifting", "Mathematics Surf", "Little Encyclopedia of Mathematics" and so on.

I also let the students look up the information in the books by themselves. Some children no longer need the help of their parents to find information. Some children looked up the deeds of mathematicians, such as: Hua Luogeng's story, Chen Jingrun's deeds, and some children In the "Did you know?" column, I found the origin of the "multiplication sign" and "division sign", which is written like this: The multiplication sign "×" was first used by a British mathematician more than 300 years ago. Because multiplication is a special kind of addition, he tilted the plus sign to represent multiplication. Did you know? The division sign "÷" was first used by a Swiss more than 300 years ago. Use a horizontal line to separate the two dots, which exactly means an average score. There are many examples like this. As long as students find them in their lives, they will take the initiative to write them down in their math notebooks. After students collect information, they can design their own columns. Some columns for children are very innovative, such as: Mathematics World, Mathematics Knowledge, Mathematics Thinking, Answers with Prizes, etc. In terms of layout design, I no longer need to use computers to design and print. If students can complete the design independently, they can complete it independently. If they cannot, parents can help complete the design. On the layout, you can draw some patterns that match the content by yourself and add colors to the pictures. For example, some children have a "Story of 0 and 8" in the "Mathematics Relaxing Moment" column. One day, 0 and 8 met on the road. 8 said to 0 with great dignity: "You can call me big brother. I am competing." "You are older." 0 said, "Why do I call you big brother? Don't you just have more belts than me?" The student drew a cartoon of 8 and 0 under the story, and added 8 and 0. 0 It’s humanized, with eyes, nose, and mouth painted on it, which is very interesting. After the students founded the tabloid, they still held a "communication demonstration class" once a month to allow students to communicate with each other and read newspapers to each other. At this time, some students in the class had spontaneously wanted to replace me as the host of this communication demonstration class. Position, individual children can already host half of it.

Through the process of students running a mathematics tabloid in the second grade, students expanded their extracurricular knowledge of mathematics. For example, some students learned about how they worked diligently in the ocean of mathematics knowledge by investigating the deeds of mathematicians. Research, how to study hard, also inspired students to learn from them. For example, through the "Did you know?" column, students investigate the origins of some mathematical symbols and mathematical theorems, which also expands students' knowledge horizons, enriches their knowledge scope, and learns a lot of knowledge that they had no concept of in the past. Students' horizons are broadened, which also promotes in-class learning. Through students' access to extracurricular knowledge, students' ability to access information is also enhanced. In this process, students have consciously collected relevant information around them. In the past, students could forget about it after reading it, but now many students have developed a good habit of taking notes by running mathematics tabloids. When they see the required content, they immediately write it down on paper. . The process of students designing layouts and painting patterns also further cultivates students' hands-on skills.

Through the two-year application process, students have made certain improvements in both their knowledge reserves and comprehensive abilities. In the third grade, I also increased my requirements for students to run newspapers accordingly. I asked students to try to use 8-page paper, independently design the layout, and independently search for information, in addition to looking up mathematics-related information in books. In addition, you can collect information related to mathematics on the Internet. After collecting the information, students can draw the layout by themselves. Cutting and pasting are not allowed. They can draw beautiful lace and beautiful patterns by themselves. Some students not only designed the layout to be beautiful, but also had very rich content. For example, some children designed a mathematical gas station (what is the smallest digit?) and a verbal arithmetic competition (mainly related to this book). Some columns include oral arithmetic problems), using your brain and hands (matchstick problems), small mathematical riddles, challenging Mathematical Olympiads, Lianliankan, intellectual rotating chairs, etc. Some students made many exquisite patterns after learning symmetry, translation, and rotation. They searched for relevant pictures and information in their daily lives. Some even drew some exquisite patterns by themselves, and some designed windmills. Patterns, some have designed carpet patterns, others have designed curtain patterns, etc. They are very beautiful. I will show you a few tabloids below.

In the "communication demonstration class" of the third grade students, because they already have a certain communication foundation in the second grade, by the third grade, I will use the students' competitive psychology to guide the students. The students will first organize and host the "communication presentation class" with a classmate who is excellent at tabloid newspapers, has strong language expression skills and strong organizational skills as the host. They will first guide this small host before the class on the layout, content, and layout of the tabloid. Organize classmates in the class to communicate in terms of form and other aspects. In terms of content, who do you think is richer in the class, whose form is novel, and whose layout is beautiful, and then evaluate who is better as a whole, and your own What are the shortcomings and how to correct them in the future. After a period of trial and error, students have spontaneously formed study groups. Each group registers with the monitor every week, who will host the next "communication demonstration class."

Through the process of running a mathematics tabloid in the third grade, the overall comprehensive ability of students has been further improved. In the process of running a newspaper, students develop their language expression skills, organizational skills, and cooperation and communication skills between groups, and further stimulate students' enthusiasm and motivation for learning mathematics.

By the fourth grade, students’ various abilities, knowledge storage, and reporting experience have been greatly improved. I also asked students to build on the abilities they had in the first three grades. It is required that qualified students can use computers to make mathematics tabloids, because they have had microcomputer classes since the third grade, but they were not very proficient in computer operations at that time. By the fourth grade, they have a certain level of proficiency. , the original newspaper content, layout, and formal requirements can be quickly produced using computers, and students can also add illustrations and fill in colors at will, and the layout design is also very beautiful and beautiful, which is even more exciting. Increase children's interest in learning. At this time, many students have already summarized their personal experiences and experiences in running newspapers, and written these experiences in the mathematics tabloid to share them with everyone. In the class's "Communication Demonstration Class", since the students already have certain organizational and hosting abilities in the third grade, I completely let the students organize the communication during this semester. The monitor will select the host for each period to organize the communication. Mathematics tabloid and carry out newspaper reading activities. And I became a student at this time, to study their works and appreciate their works. Although the three-foot podium had been occupied by students in class, no, to be precise, it should have been given to students. In my heart It's really a real pleasure.

I will show you a few fourth-grade math tabloids below.

Now the fourth grade is about to enter the final period and their study life in fourth grade is about to end. However, their comprehensive ability has been greatly improved this year. From handwritten tabloids to electronic tabloid production, students have fully Using modern tools, not only can the tabloids produced be more refined and practical, but students can also develop a sense of convenience and simplicity in solving problems, and can fully apply modern teaching methods. Moreover, students have developed the habit of writing learning experiences and newspaper reading experiences, and writing these experiences and experiences in tabloids to share with everyone.

In the later stages, the number of newspapers handed in by students increased, and the quality became higher. Some students felt that they were not good at running newspapers. After reading other people's tabloids, they made up for their own shortcomings and started running newspapers again. a tabloid newspaper. This shows that students are becoming more and more enthusiastic about running newspapers, their interest in mathematics is getting stronger, and their hands-on practical ability is getting stronger, achieving the expected results.

In order to further stimulate students' interest in learning, experience the joy of starting a mathematics tabloid, and improve students' mathematical literacy such as hands-on operation, observation, and aesthetic appreciation, it is also a summary of students' comprehensive practical abilities at this stage. In the fourth grade When I was teaching, I carried out the "Competition of Self-Created Mathematics Tabloids" in the two classes I taught. First, I carried out the evaluation activities of self-created mathematics tabloids in each class, and then selected the best products in each class. High-quality products are evaluated. Requirements: Each tabloid must be completed independently without the help of teachers or parents; the mathematics tabloid compiled must fully reflect the comprehensiveness of mathematics subject knowledge and be complete with pictures and texts; and there are requirements for the format. After this competition, the 15 selected works were exhibited, and the first, second, and third prizes were awarded. They also participated in the school's special homework exhibition and displayed it in the Fengyu Classroom, which achieved good results. Below are individual works from this competition.

3. The improvement of students’ abilities in all aspects in the process of running a mathematics tabloid.

In the past four years, students have started with teacher-guided demonstrations and parents helping to research materials and make tabloids, to students reading books on their own, making semi-independent tabloids, to searching for information on the Internet to make tabloids, and finally to students using Computer-generated tabloids. From me organizing exchange newspaper reading activities to students voluntarily organizing newspaper reading activities, students' comprehensive abilities are slowly developed in the process of running newspapers.

(1) Enhance students’ ability to access and collect information.

In the process of running a mathematics tabloid, students are more likely to check the information and then write down their experiences, which enhances the students' ability to check the information and maximizes the students' autonomy. By running a mathematics tabloid, I developed a good habit of taking notes. When I see some mathematics-related knowledge, I immediately take notes and save it for use when setting up a mathematics tabloid. When doing homework, I used to just do it right, but now I consciously think about how to do it more skillfully? Because they began to think of sharing their good methods and learning experiences with everyone through mathematics tabloids.

(2) Expand extracurricular knowledge of mathematics and improve students’ interest in learning mathematics.

In the teaching process, although the knowledge in the field of "Number and Algebra" is useful, it is somewhat boring. In classroom learning, students only learn basic knowledge, and not much extracurricular knowledge is involved. By running a mathematics tabloid, students have expanded their horizons of mathematical knowledge and learned a lot of knowledge that they had no concept of in the past. At the same time, they not only learned extracurricular knowledge during the newspaper running activities, but also increased their interest in learning mathematics.

(3) Promote communication skills among students.

In daily learning activities, communication can only occur when encountering confusion in class, and there are very few opportunities for communication. By running a mathematics tabloid, I provide a platform for students to communicate, and I take advantage of the limited conditions of the class to create unlimited communication space for students. Communication between students can be seen everywhere. Every "communication demonstration class" , students, you look at me, I look at you, learn from each other and improve together.

4. I am guiding students to gain from the process of running newspapers.

In the past four years, not only have students gained something and grown continuously in the process of running a mathematics tabloid, but I have also gained something through the process of running a student newspaper.

First of all, through students’ newspaper-running activities, the distance between teachers and students has been narrowed. Students not only like to run math tabloids, not only like math classes, but also like me. I will Because my voice was hoarse, I couldn't go to class, so another teacher took the class. After class, they hurried to my office to ask what happened to the math teacher, why didn't he come to class? Some children wrote this in their mathematics diaries: Mathematics teacher, your voice has become hoarse in order to teach us. You have to attend two classes and grade the homework of two classes every day. You are so diligent, so you must pay attention to protecting it. Your own body, we hope you can come to us for lessons soon. Some children gave me golden throat products. I was so touched that I shed tears.

Secondly, through the attempt to let students run a special assignment such as a mathematics tabloid, the evaluation of the students' homework should be said to be quite successful. It was expected to achieve my plan and goal of organizing students to run a mathematics tabloid, so that I can Thanks to the research activity of running a newspaper for children, we can further understand the thoughts and concepts of curriculum evaluation. It was also through the student-run mathematics tabloid about writing experiences and experiences that made me think of asking students to write mathematics diaries, write out their thoughts, and communicate with me, an older friend.

Thirdly, running a mathematics tabloid enabled me to continue to grow in my research. The success of running a mathematics tabloid on student homework evaluation this time has inspired me to invest in the research of new topics, so that I can consciously infiltrate the idea of ????activities in future classroom teaching, so that students can always feel the connection between mathematics and mathematics. Close connections with life, and strive to enable students to discover mathematics from life and apply the mathematics knowledge learned in the classroom in life.

Finally, my math tabloid won unanimous praise in the special homework competition organized by the school and district. After I started working in 2002, I encouraged students to run mathematics tabloids. At the end of 2002, my class's mathematics tabloid won first prize in the school's special homework competition. In 2003, it won unanimous praise in the special homework exhibition held in Sartu District, Daqing City. I also feel particularly proud of

the unexpected award for running a mathematics tabloid.

Since then, I have also developed a strong interest in mathematics activity classes.

In short, starting a mathematics tabloid is a comprehensive practical activity. First of all, students need to collect a lot of materials. In the process of selecting materials, they must consult many books and search a lot of information online. When consulting books, students learned a lot of knowledge that was not in the textbooks. At the same time, reorganize and organize the materials you have viewed. Secondly, if students want to make a tabloid, they must design the layout to see which material is more suitable and beautiful in which place. This in turn cultivates students' aesthetic sense. Thirdly, in the process of writing and painting tabloids, students' hands-on ability is cultivated. During the exchange and presentation process, students' enthusiasm for participating in mathematical activities was cultivated.

Allowing students to create mathematics tabloids is not only a brand-new attempt for me to evaluate students' homework, but also a manifestation of curriculum integration. It allows students to learn mathematics with interest and experience mathematics in operations. Appreciate mathematics in design, realize that mathematics is everywhere in life, and love mathematics for life. Students can draw their voices, confidence and hopes for mathematics learning on small 8-page paper. Therefore, under the guidance of the new curriculum concept, allowing students to create exquisite mathematics tabloids is another important way to evaluate students' homework.
