9 useful math games for kids and their parents
If you have already downloaded the useful apps recommended by Alexander Markellov, a math teacher at Khoroshkola and the founder of the Mathematical Paths project, then it's time to take a closer look at simple math games.
The great thing is that they will come in handy on a walk, in a traffic jam, and on a Saturday evening.
1. "Signals"
Age: 3–5 years old
Develops counting skills and the ability to concentrate.
This is a game for the little ones and it is very enjoyable because it is easy to play on the road or on the street. When you go hand in hand with a child, you simply press his palm, and he must count how many times you pressed. Then you can change.
2. “Then jump!”
Age: 6–10 years old
An especially good game when you are walking somewhere with your child and you need to entertain him. The game is more about attention, but it also tells something about the property of numbers. The rules are simple: even - clap your hands, divided by three - jump, and if there are 7 in the number - say "Ulyul". The more signs to track, the more difficult the game.
3. "Fly"
Age: 6–14 years old
Develops attention and spatial thinking.
To explain the game, we need a drawn 3 by 3 square. In the center of the square we need to put a dot, it will be a “trained fly”. You give the fly the commands "up", "down", "right", "left", it executes them.
After you have explained the rules, you need to ask the child to imagine a field and a fly on it. Now you will order her how many cells and in which direction to move. The child must imagine these movements. If the fly went out of the field, he must clap - this means that he caught it and this is his victory. And if you didn’t slam, then the fly flew away and you won. Change roles after each game.
Changing the difficulty level. You can make the field larger or even turn it into a three-dimensional one. For example, a 3x3x3 cube. You can also give a series of commands without pauses. For example, down - up - right - down.
4. "Danetki" with mathematical concepts
Age: 6–12 years old
Develops categorization of concepts.
You guess any mathematical concept.
For example, "circle" or "number 10". And the child asks questions to which you can answer either “yes” or “no”. Here, of course, there are endless possibilities for the level of complexity.
5. Bulls and Cows
Age: 7–99 years old
Develops logical thinking
This is a number guessing game. The participants of the game think of four-digit numbers and write them down on their sheets. All the numbers that make up the guessed numbers must be different from 1 to 9. The task of the players is to determine the number of the opponent by asking questions in turn. To ask a question means to name some four-digit number, all the digits of which are different.
If the conceived and named numbers have a common figure in the same place, then this situation is called "Bull" (denoted by "B").
For example: the number 5739 is conceived, the enemy calls the number 1234. The number "3" in both the first and second numbers is in third place. In this case, the answer is "One bull" ("1B").
If the conceived and named numbers have the same digits, but they are in different places, then this situation is called "Cow" (indicated by "K").
For example: the number 5739 is conceived, the enemy calls the number 3456. The numbers "3" and "5" are the same, but are in different places. In this case, the answer is "Two
cows" ("2K").
Having heard the question, the player must carefully compare it with the planned number and correctly name the number of “bulls” and “cows”. The winner is the player who managed to guess the opponent's number in fewer questions. To avoid disputes, write down not only the opponent's answers, but also your answers to him in a separate column.
An example of a game where the player thought of the number 2534.
Changing the difficulty level: to make it easier, you can think of a three-digit number or use only numbers from 1 to 5.
6. Tic-tac-toe 5 by 5
Age: 7–12 years old
Develops logical and spatial thinking.
The playing field is a square 5 by 5 cells. Two are playing. The first puts a cross in any cell, the second puts a zero. The winner is the one who puts three in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
Changing the difficulty level: there is 3D tic-tac-toe, and the field can also be infinitely large.
7. Guess the number
Age: 8–99 years old
Develops logical thinking.
I think almost everyone has played this game. You guess any number from 0 to 100 (the range can vary depending on age). The child must guess it in the least number of attempts. After each guess, you say whether your number is greater or less.
It is important that the child finds the most efficient way to guess by himself - it is not very difficult (break into equal ranges, i.e. 50, 25, 13, etc.). Therefore, when you switch roles, it is better to guess the number with the wrong strategy.
Difficulty change: You can agree that you have one or more opportunities to lie.
The task immediately becomes much more difficult, as soon as you are allowed to write down answers and reason together.
8. "Black box"
Age: 8-99 years old
Develops logical thinking and helps to understand dependencies.
You think of some function. For example, x + 6. The child tells you a number, for example 5. You substitute his number into your function: 5 + 6 = 11, and tell him the answer is 11. Then the child says another number. For example, 9, you answer him what you did. In our case, it will be 9 + 6 = 15. The child must guess what you are doing with his number, that is, understand what function you have guessed. Then you can change.
Changing the difficulty level: you can think of very different functions, for example x ⋅ (x - 1), and if the child is older than 6-7th grade, then you can build a graph using these points and at the same time see the properties of the graphs of the function.
9. Signs of divisibility
Age: 9–13 years old
It's not really a game, but I used to love doing it as a kid.
There are interesting signs of divisibility. For example, if the difference between the sum of digits in even places and the sum of digits in odd places is divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11. Or, in other words, if the alternating sum of digits is divisible by 11, then the number itself is divisible by 11. Or if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9, then the whole number is divisible by 9.
I looked for numbers on the street and checked what they were divisible by. For example, I liked checking if the car number is divisible by 11. I think it is possible to offer the child to explore the world around him in this way and see if he likes it or not. Such games are easy to invent yourself. While I was writing the text, one of my colleagues came up with a similar game.
Educational mathematical games for children of senior preschool age at the Center for Intellectual and Creative Development of Preschool Children "Nevalyashki"
| teacher of additional education MBUDO DDT im. |
A.I. Efremov, Novosibirsk Mathematics is a complex science that develops the child's intellect, forms his cognitive and creative abilities. Therefore, it is important to develop such abilities from preschool age, and learning should take place in a fun way, since the game is the leading way of activity for preschoolers.
In a mathematical educational game, the task is presented in a fascinating way, so the educational material is easily perceived by children. The form of the game helps preschool children to master mathematical knowledge in a relaxed way.
With the help of a mathematical developmental game, children master the properties of objects: colors, shapes, determination of size and mass; acquire the ability to compare objects, figures with each other, children learn to count and classify, develop thinking, quick wit and ingenuity.
As the experience of working with preschoolers in additional education shows, play activities must be combined with questions, instructions, explanations and demonstrations in order not only to form the necessary ideas, but also to teach children to play, observing the rules of the game.
Having mastered the developing mathematical game together with the teacher, the children can later play it on their own, and later, in an independent game, the child will consolidate the acquired knowledge and learn how to apply it in practice. Thus, the teacher of additional education at first in such a game acts as a participant in the game: he teaches and plays, and the children learn while playing, and the third stage, the children play on their own, broadcasting and consolidating previously acquired knowledge.
From the experience of working with preschoolers in the Center for Intellectual and Creative Development of Preschool Children "Tumblers", the most popular games are such as "Flight". In this game, children take the role of pilots, and the teacher - the dispatcher. In terms of material and technical equipment, this game is simple: to play, you need a checkered sheet and a simple pencil. Let's describe the course of the game. At the beginning of the line (at the beginning of the path), the airfield is indicated (that is, the children circle the first cell).
Further, the teacher tells the children that the pilots fly the plane carefully so that the passengers do not “shake”, so the pencil in the hand (steering wheel) must be held confidently and firmly. Then the teacher-dispatcher gives commands:
“We take off from the lower right corner of the airfield to the right two cells (the pilots draw), then a sharp turn up three cells, then to the right one cell and down three cells, to the right two cells!”.
Then the dispatcher sends a message:
“Attention! Attention! Poor connection and poor visibility! I will not be able to direct the further flight, so you will be the one to fly the plane yourself! I ask you to be careful and speak out loud about your actions, but I will hear you! Forward, my brave pilots!” Next, the guys draw on their own, and say out loud the directions of the pencil movements. Such a game develops the ability to navigate on a notebook sheet, a sense of rhythm and fine motor skills.
The learned colors and shades are consolidated through the game "Tsvetnaya Polyana", where toys of different colors live.
The guys meet with them, choose the one that they like or several. Next, the toys invite all children to play a color game. According to the rules of the game, all players dance to the music, when the music stops, the toys run to the house of the corresponding color. In this game, not only the ability to distinguish and name colors and shades is consolidated, but new shades of colors, other toys, and fairy-tale characters are gradually introduced into the game. Also, this game actively forms visual perception.
After the mobile game “Tsvetnaya Polyana”, a game with geometric figures is played, and the character “Green Dragon” comes to the children with a bag in which he brings geometric three-dimensional figures to the children. The little dragon says to the children: “Come on, guys, guess without looking what I have?” Children determine the figure by touch, and if they recognize it, they take it for themselves. After the bag is empty, the children come up with what its figure looks like or what there is such a shape (cubic, spherical, etc.
) in the world around them. Each of the children usually gets several guessed figures. Next, the Green Dragon asks to put their pieces in such a way that they get some kind of object and name it. In this game, the teacher draws the attention of the children to the fact that they need to agree on the order (after all, there is only one bag). In such a game, children not only easily memorize the names of geometric bodies, but also develop their sensitivity, imagination, come up with a new name and explain its meaning.
Pupils of the Roly-Poly Center also like the Mirror Drawing game. This is when mirror-symmetrical tracks are depicted on a sheet of paper simultaneously with both hands. With this drawing, there is a “dialogue” between the hemispheres of the brain. In the course of normal development, nerve fibers gradually mature, connecting the cortex of both hemispheres and allowing information to be transmitted in two directions: from right to left and from left to right.
