Useful "pie"
Remember how you went to school? In the first class there was addition and subtraction, in the second - multiplication and division, in the third there were fractions, and in the fourth the mathematician from the subject, in general, turned into a dark forest, and you, grumbling: "Why should I solve the equations if I want to become a tram driver? "- cheated at the break" home "for an excellent student. Do you know why math suddenly became so complicated? There is nothing supernatural: the traditional curriculum was built on a "line." Today we study this, tomorrow we move on to the next section, the next day - to another one, and you, after having been in the second class, and having spent the whole spring on the beautiful Ivanov in the third, to the fourth class found that you do not understand anything in mathematics.
The foundation of knowledge was somehow leaky and too flimsy. In the system of Lyudmila Peterson everything is not so.
Knowledge here is given by the principle of "puff cake." At three, four, five, as well as in the first, second, third grade, the child gets, you can say, the same knowledge. Only with each time the level of perception changes and the depth of penetration of the essence of the subject.Thus, if the child has not mastered the course of four years, as it is to build a pattern of three green cubes and one red, he will return to the same patterns at five years old, although it will be necessary to guess which cube lay out the following in the chain: two blue - two red one yellow. But the child unexpectedly realizes that everything's just! starts again and repeat "rhythm" until cubes are not going to stop! And my mother will dismiss from my heart: "After all, my child is clever, I figured out the cubes!" "Peterson's methodology gives each child a chance to put material too complicated for him for a while, and then master it in a new round of development," says the teacher the highest qualification category Natalia Tsarkova. Natalia Vladimirovna has been working in Peterson's elementary school for many years and says that this is the best system she has ever dealt with.
"In this program I am attracted by the full involvement of children in the learning process. At the beginning of the lesson we set ourselves the task, in the end - we analyze whether we have achieved the desired result. Again, we need the results not for their own sake, but to apply them in life, "adds Natalia Tsarkova. Indeed, think about what skills the kid learns the fastest? Those that he needs. bubbles of gum, he himself is studying this hard to "be like Dimka from the third entrance." And he tries, puffs, sometimes stomps his foot, gets angry, but still does not give up. Why? Because it's not for Mum - him! That's when the kid himself will have to be able to count - he will start counting. The main thing is to create the necessary motivation.
Everything is logical
Again, we remember our school and the lessons of mathematics. What did you usually do on them? That's right, they thought. And what else can you do in mathematics? Two plus three, three plus two - that's the destiny of the primary schoolboy. Play math with the kids according to the Peterson technique, this will help to quickly master the basic knowledge of this science.
No, the account is being studied for children, but the account here is just one of many tasks. Peterson's methodology is close to the real needs of a real person. Needs are to understand the essence of things and be able to make the right decisions. How, for example, do preschool children study the same account? Abstract concepts of sum and equality are not yet available to them. They, of course, can learn all the examples for addition and subtraction within a dozen. Especially stubborn parents instead of "Flies-zokotuhi" teach children with the multiplication table.Have, children, you will grow up and make moms and dads teach Bradys tables - let them suffer too! But to realize that this is "3 + 2 = 5" is difficult for kids. Pre-schoolers, dealing with the Peterson system, always have a large number of beams in front of their eyes - here it is called a numerical streamlet. Three, speak, plus two? The kid puts his finger on the number three and makes two steps forward. Forward - because there is a plus. And if there was a minus, then he would have stepped back. Where was the finger? On the number five. So three plus two will be five! Here to you and the answer.
Kids happily step on the segment and easily master the account within a dozen. In general, pre-schoolers perceive classes on Peterson as a game. This is facilitated by colorful notebooks, and the tasks themselves are fun and diverse. "Technique Peterson captivated me with what is really developing. By the end of primary school, children engaged in it, overtook their "traditional" peers for a year and a half, "- says Tsarkova. Yes, many "smarters" are smart, very intelligent, so smart that poor parents do their lessons with children until one o'clock in the morning, but why teach the kids is difficult, if it is possible, easy? If at Peterson lessons the guys have eyes burning if they are really interested "And if they have results that every teacher can be proud of?"
The cubic "equation"
A pamphlet with Peterson's tasks in each bookstore can be found and a small cart. But it's not necessary to limit oneself to notebooks. Try to play "in Peterson" with your baby yourself!
Lay the cubes on the floor: two red, two yellow, two red and again two yellow and ask the kid to continue the row. First, the child can put, for example, a green cube. Explain to the crumb: "No, look, the row has changed. And the cubes should be repeated as in the beginning. "The kid will quickly figure out what the essence of the game is and, after laying out two yellow dice after two reds, will probably offer to play more. Having mastered the principle," continue the rhythm ", the child will be able to set similar tasks you. And you may well be mistaken once to see the glee on your face: "I thought such a complicated rhythm that my mother did not guess!"
Another Peterson assignment can be played as in the "Gallows" or "Baldu". Take a piece of paper and draw on it a large red ball. Your kid already knows that the object can be large or small, red or green, a ball or a cube. Suggest him, following a large red ball, to draw an object that will differ from it only for one attribute. Let's say a baby will picture a small red ball. The next move is yours - you draw a small blue ball. Then the pencil again grabs the child and a small blue square appears on the sheet. You can draw to infinity.
The next task helps the kids to prepare for the solution of inequalities. Draw two boxes on the sheet. In one place five stars, in the other - four.
Ask the child:
- Where are the stars more? Probably, the crumb will suggest to count the asterisks.
- You can do much easier, - you smile, - let's put the asterisks into pairs. Connect a star from one box to an asterisk from the other. Are all the asterisks pairs? No? In one box was an asterisk without a pair? Hence, there are more of them. In scientific terms this is called the establishment of a one-to-one correspondence. And in a childlike way - to build in pairs. Kids are very fond of this task. Of course, the Peterson method is not a panacea for all mathematical "ills." And, probably, some time later it will be replaced by something more useful: one thing is for sure: the child will always need the ability to think logically - the very ability that he can get by playing math.
