How to learn the multiplication table, and save a lot of nerves
Teacher of Mathematics Catherine Kukina told AdMe.ru , how to master the multiplication table, without taking in children summer. This method will facilitate the study, will present knowledge and save the school diary.
You probably have heard the opinion that the level of mathematics education falls.
When my children studied in the second grade, I clearly understood why falling level of mathematical education at the school. It was in the second grade, when laying the foundations of mathematics education, there is such a huge irreparable hole .
The main problem - in the multiplication table . Look at the notebook in a cage that is at your school children.
I have long walked around the shops in search of notebooks. Still, all is such a picture:
There are notebooks worse (for high school), where the multiplication table, but there is a bunch of meaningless formulas.
So what is this book is bad ? The unsuspecting parent sees that on the notebook multiplication table. Like all life on notebooks has been the multiplication table. What is not so?
But the problem is precisely the fact that notebooks NOT multiplication table .
The multiplication table, my dear readers, is here:
In another way, it is called "Pythagorean table."
The upper and the left column, you can not take only the basic rectangle.
Firstly, a table. Secondly, it is interesting!
No child will not consider prescription bars examples.
No child will not be able to find in the prescription examples of interesting pieces and regularity.
And in general, when the teacher says, 'Learn the multiplication table "- and the child, even before a table can not see, he immediately realizes that mathematics - is a science, where ordinary things are named differently and should be lots of cramming, and understand nothing is impossible.
What is the "table" is better?
- Firstly, there is no waste and noise information in the form of the left side of examples.
- Secondly, it is possible to think over. There even is not written anywhere that this multiplication - just a table.
- Third, if it is constantly at hand and the baby at her constantly stumbles, he perforce begins to remember these numbers. In particular, the question of "seven, eight," he will never answer "55", because the number 55 in the table at all and never was!
Remember bars examples can only children with abnormal memory. The "table" need to remember a lot less.
In addition, the child machine looks for patterns . And he finds them alone. These patterns are even children not yet know how to multiply.
For example: the numbers symmetric about a diagonal equal.
The human brain is simply configured to look for symmetry , and if it finds and sees very happy. And what does it mean? This means that the permutation of factors places the product does not change.
You see, the child sees it himself! And that man invented himself, he will remember forever , as opposed to what he was told and memorized.
