| Outline of a lesson in mathematics on the topic: MBU KINDERGARTEN No. 153 "OLESIA"
Mathematical entertainment for preschoolers.
prepared
teacher
N. Zaurova
The main tasks of optimizing the learning process are - focus on maintaining motivation and - the formation of conscious goals of activity. In this regard, much attention is paid to holding events that are becoming traditional: “Sweet Evening”, “Morning of Joyful Meetings”, etc. Having filled these events with mathematical content and analyzed the learning outcomes at the end of the year, we came to the conclusion that this form of organizing mathematics classes for older preschoolers contributes to a better mastery of the basic tools of mathematical thinking (analysis, synthesis, (equation, classification), develops the foundations of logical thinking, teaches to work in a team (in pairs, groups).0003
MEETING WITH MALVINA AND BURATINO
Morning of joyful meetings
Tasks.
To consolidate the panic of quantitative and ordinal counting, to improve the skill of performing arithmetic operations, to consolidate knowledge of geometric shapes.
Course of the lesson
Malvina and Pinocchio enter the hall, greet the children.
Malvina. All Pinocchio, stop chasing the loafer. It's time to take over the mind.
Pinocchio How is it "to take up mind. Where is my mind? Probably in my head. I'll take my head. (Turns to Mapvina.) Malvina, I have already taken up my mind.
Malvina. (indignantly). You again! To take up the mind means ... Guys, what do you think this phrase means? (Answers.) Right! To grasp the mind means to learn. Today, Pinocchio, We will teach mathematics.
Educator. Guys, what kind of science is mathematics? What is she studying? (Answers.) That's right, mathematics is the science of numbers, mathematical signs, geometric shapes.
Malvina. I will teach this note, Pinocchio, listen carefully to the first task.
(Shows a card.) What is this number? (Pinocchio answers incorrectly.) And now please count, in order, starting from one. (Pinocchio counts at random). Oh-oh-oh! You don't know anything at all!
Caretaker. I think we need to help Pinocchio. Let's teach him.
“Take your seat”
middle group
Children walk freely around the room, they have cards with numbers from 1 to 10 in their hands. There are hoops on the floor, in them there are numbers from 1 to 10. On a signal, the children find themselves a hoop with the right number.
"Find a couple" (senior group).
Children have numbers from I to 10 in their hands. Children freely walk around the hall, on a signal they look for a mate - a child with the same number.
"In order" (preparatory group for school).
Children receive cards with numbers from I to 20 (according to the number of children). At the command of the educator, they must build a number series as quickly as possible.
Educator. Pinocchio, I hope now you can count correctly. If you want, the children will teach you how to solve examples and problems. See how they can do it. Children, listen carefully.
A hedgehog was walking through the forest,
Found mushrooms for lunch -
Two under a birch,
One at the aspen.
How many will there be
In a wicker basket? (Three).
Take care, do not lose!
How many mittens? Count! (Six.)
Seryozhka fell into the snow,
Alyoshka followed him,
Aza him Marinka,
And Irinka followed her,
And then Ignat fell.
How many children were there? (Five.)
Caretaker. Well, Pinocchio, have you learned to solve problems? Let's take some examples then.
Two numbers - one and three.
Put them together quickly
And tell me the answer. (Four)
Drop three from six.
How much has become, tell me! (Three.)
And now, Pinocchio, try to solve a mathematical example yourself.
Find the answer (preparatory for the type group). Distributes cards with examples. There are answer cards on the floor. Children and Pinocchio solve examples and find the corresponding number-answer.
Caretaker. Well done, Pinocchio! That's right, Malvina, be kind, check if the guys have done their job. (Malvina checks the children's answers.)
Pinocchio. I didn't know how to count, I didn't know numbers, but I knew geometric shapes. (Turns to children.) Tell me, what geometric shapes do you know?
Educator. Pinocchio, if you want to know this, let's play an interesting game with the guys.
Find your house (middle and senior groups). Children, having received geometric shapes (circle, square, triangle), on a signal, educators must find their “house” - a hoop.
Find your house (preparatory group). Children are given cones, balls, cubes. At different ends of the hall there are "houses" in the form of these geometric bodies. Children, at the signal of the teacher, must find their "house".
Educator. Thank you Pinocchio and Malvina for coming to visit us. I think, Pinocchio, that the knowledge of our guys helped you. I know that you brought interesting puzzles. Give them to the guys.
Malvina and Pinocchio give puzzles to the children, say goodbye and leave.
LET'S HELP THE DON'T KNOW TO RECEIVE GUESTS
Sweet evening
Tasks. To consolidate counting skills, learn to solve mathematical problems, improve the skill of dividing a circle and a square into eight equal parts.
Preliminary work. Reading work II. Nosov Dunno and his friends.
Course of the lesson
The teacher came to visit us today ... Guess who? This is a boy... He likes to wear a big blue hat... The hero of N. Nosov's work. (Answers.)
Dunno Hello! Well, that's not even interesting. They guessed it, they didn’t even break their heads. Okay, I'm not mad at you. I came for help. The kids with whom I flew to the Green City came to visit me. Remember how many of us were in the balloon? (Answers.
) That's right. But not everyone will come to visit, but only ... (lists the names of seven kids). If you listened carefully, you managed to count how many guests there will be. (Answers.) I need to treat them to tea, but I don’t know how to set the table. Help!
Caretaker. Dunno, you correctly noted: when you receive guests, you need to be able to set the table. Guys, help Dunno? (Answers.) How many people do you need to set the table if seven kids come to visit Dunno! (Answers). (If the children forget to count Dunno, you can remind them of the lines from E. Ilyina's poem "Lida on duty".) Who can explain Dunno how to set the table? (The child, using the Stopovaya set, sets the table for eight people and explains his actions: “In order for Dunno to meet seven guests, you need to take eight tea pairs, since you need to count not only the guests, but also the owners. Put napkins under the saucers, on the saucers - teaspoons. In the center of the table we will put a samovar, a teapot, a sugar bowl and treats")
Dunno.
I understood everything, thanks. It turns out it's not that hard. And what should I treat my friends to? I'll buy sausages, sour cream, cucumbers... and make a salad.
Educator. Dunno, you said that you invited guests for tea, and a salad for tea is not a treat!
Dunno. What should I feed my kids? (Answers.) So, it’s decided, I’m buying eight cakes, eight lemons of candy. How much candy to buy? Got it, eight kilos.
Educator. Dunno, why do you need so many products?
Dunno. What do you mean why? So that we get equally divided: one cake, one kilogram of sweets and one lemon each.
Educator. From such a treat, you and your guests can get stomach ache. It seems to me that it will be enough for you to eat a piece of cake, two sweets each and put a slice of lemon in your tea.
Dunno. Guys, judge us (Answers.) Well, I agree with you. Please tell me how to divide the cake into eight equal parts.
(Distributes paper geometric shapes: circle, square, rectangle with a pencil, children show how to divide them into eight parts.
(Dunno asks questions: what shape is the cake? How did you top it up? How many parts did it turn out?)
Thank you, your advice will come in handy when I am hosting. I think I can cut any shape cake into eight pieces by myself. Now tell me, how many sweets do you need to buy if everyone should get two sweets? (Answers,) What smart kids! The weight of the task is clicked like nuts. Now I know that I need to buy not a kilogram of sweets, but only 16 pieces. I'll cut the lemon myself. (Cuts the lemon into three parts) I'll take a large slice for myself, and the rest for friends.
Educator. Guys, if all the guests want to drink tea with lemon, do you think that will be enough for them? (Answers) How many guests can be left without a lemon? Into how many parts should a lemon be divided so that everyone has enough? (Answers.) Let's invite Dunno to our "Sweet Evening". sets the table with the children and drinks tea, and talks about the rules of behavior at the table.
GUEST CHAIR
Meeting interesting people
Tasks.
To introduce the features of the profession of a teacher; encourage independent dialogue with the guest; to consolidate the ability to guess and solve mathematical and logical problems; to develop the ability to classify, to cultivate a culture of speech in a dialogue with an adult.
Preliminary work. Attending a first grade elementary school math lesson.
Course of the lesson
Educator. Guys, look what chair appeared in our group. Do you think it is comfortable to sit on? (Answers.)
Invites the children to sit in a chair, assess how comfortable it is to sit in it.
Educator. Tell me, if you had this chair at home, who would you invite to sit in it? (Answers.) Today we will have a very interesting guest. (Guest enters.) Let's offer our guest a chair. Take a seat, please! Now say hello to the guest and introduce yourself. (Children no turn say their names.)
So, our meeting is called "Guest Chair". Do you want to know who came to us? Then ask questions to the guest (What is your name? Where do you work? Who do you work? Where do you live? Do you have big ladies? Do you have children? Do you quarrel with friends?).
And now let's ask Maria Ivanovna to tell how she became a teacher.
Guest's story, accompanied by a display of photographs, newspaper clippings, awards, certificates.
Educator. Children, today Maria Ivanovna will give you a fun math lesson.
Guest. Do you enjoy doing math? (Answers.) What have you already learned in kindergarten? (Answers.) Do you know proverbs and sayings that talk about numbers? (One swallow does not make spring. Seven do not wait for one. Measure seven times, cut once.) Well done! Can you solve riddles? Then listen carefully. One trunk, many branches, and there are many guests on the branches. (Tree.) Three brothers run along the same path: one in front, and two behind. These two are running, but they cannot catch up with the one in front. (The wheels of a tricycle.) They put two fingers on me and cut out what needs to be cut out. (Scissors.) Okay, now let's solve problems.
Mom embroidered the carpet.
Look at the pattern:
Two large squares,
Each has three branches.
Masha sat on the bed,
Kochet counted the branches.
No way.
Who will help her? (Six.)
Six funny cubs
They hurry into the forest for raspberries.
But one kid got tired,
lagged behind his comrades.
Now find the answer:
HOW MANY bears are ahead? (Five.)
Well done! Good job, you can rest. Listen to a joke poem.
Ira is crying, do not calm down,
Ira is very sad:
There were exactly five chairs, And now there are four.
The younger brother began to count:
One, two, three, four, five.
Don't cry! –
The kid said. -
After all, you are sitting on the fifth!
Guest. What do you think is common in riddles, proverbs, poems? (Answers.) Why were these particular tasks in our unusual lesson today? (Answers.) Children, thank you for the lesson. We look forward to seeing you on the first of September at our school. Come study with us!
Children say goodbye to the guest, once again look at the photographs and documents that the guest has brought, see him off.
SMART AND SMART
Math competition
Tasks. Strengthen counting skills, teach how to compose and solve mathematical problems, continue to form geometric representations, improve the ability to solve examples for addition and subtraction.
Preliminary work. Attending elementary school mathematics lessons.
Three teams are formed from the pupils of the group preparatory to school and the pupils of the first grade: "Clever", "Clever" and "Fans". A team of fans is preparing posters with mathematical puzzles.
Course of the lesson
(sequence of competitions)
Who is faster? Teams receive cards with a graphic image of geometric shapes. Children with the help of counting sticks lay out these figures on the tables. The first team to complete the task correctly wins.
Two boys enter, they have mathematical signs on their chest: + and -.
1st child.
I'm a plus and I'm proud of it!
I am fit for addition.
I am a good sign of connection
And this is my second mission.
2nd child.
I am a minus, also a good sign,
After all, I do not take it out of evil,
I only fulfill my role.
Plus and minus. Teams receive cards with mathematical examples in which + and - signs are missing. The team that fills in the gaps faster and more correctly wins:
3... 1=2; 4...1 = 5; 7...1-6; 8... 1=9;
9... 2 = 7.
Wizards. Teams receive cards with the image of a circle, square, rectangle, triangle Participants are offered to become magicians and "revive" geometric shapes - draw them to the image of an object.
Fun tasks. With the help of a check card with numbers from 1 to 10, give answers to rhymed tasks by holding up the desired card.
Hedgehog gave the ducklings
Eight leather boots.
Which of the guys will answer,
How many ducklings were there? (Four)
Vadim found six mushrooms,
And then another one.
Answer the question:
How many mushrooms did he bring? (Seven.)
One flower
Four petals.
How many petals
Do two of these flowers have? (Eight.)
Two cheerful monkeys
Books were bought.
And they bought five books,
So that they would have something to read.
Only stupid monkeys
Books cannot count.
Help the monkeys,
How many books do they have - tell me? (Ten.)
Write a problem. Team captains randomly take any two numbers from 1 to 10 from the host.
The host offers to buy toys in the store in accordance with the cards received, then exchange mathematical problems with rivals.
While the jury is summing up the results, the children sing the song “What is taught in the scale” (music by V. Shainsky, lyrics by M. Plyatskovsky). The presenter thanks the children for their active participation in the competitions, sums up the results, rewards them with sweet prizes.
Summary of mathematical entertainment "Young mathematicians" | Plan-summary of a lesson in mathematics (middle group) on the topic:
abstract
mathematical entertainment "Young mathematicians"
(middle group)
Target:
- Give children joyful pleasure from educational games.
- Develop children's interest in intellectual activity, choose games with mathematical content, showing perseverance, purposefulness.
- To develop thinking, attention, logic in children.
Material:
Modules, geometric shapes; split cards, numbers from 1 to 9, two hoops; symbol cards; card with 9 boxes for numbers; "Blocks of Gyenes"; didactic game "Choose a pattern"; heroes of fairy tales; flower-seven-flower; scheme; toys of various heights; badges "Young mathematicians".
Move:
Children enter the hall, each with a "Young Mathematics" badge on his chest. In the center of the hall sits the Queen of Mathematics, surrounded by children - geometric figures.
Nearby is a card with 9 windows.
Educator: Children, we are in the magical land of mathematics. What do you think happens in this country?
Children: Numbers, circles, triangles, tasks.
Educator: And who is the most important in this country? This is the Queen of Math. But why is she sad, what happened to her?
Queen: The evil Serpent Gorynych flew in and took all my numbers to his distant kingdom.
Educator: Don't worry Queen, the guys will help you. We will go to the distant kingdom, find and save the numbers. But how do we get there?
Queen: I will give you a magical Seven-Flower Flower. If you tear off a piece of paper and say the magic words: "Fly, fly a petal, through the west to the east, through the north through the south, return making a circle. As soon as you touch the ground, show the guys the way!" And the petal will show you the way to the numbers.
Educator: Well, guys, let's go! (pulls off a petal, says the words, the petal flies and descends near the fairy-tale hero Carlson).
Hello, dear Carlson! Have you seen where the Serpent Gorynych hid our figures?
Carlson: I saw - I saw, he flew over our fairy-tale country and lost all your numbers. I picked up one number, but I'll give it to you if you only guess my riddles:
1. Under the bushes by the river
May beetles lived.
Daughter, son, father and mother
Who can count them?
2. Squirrel drying on a rope
Two mushrooms and three carrots.
A ferret came running and dragged off the fungus.
The hare ate two carrots.
What's left on the rope?
3. A hedgehog was walking through the forest,
For lunch he found mushrooms:
Two - under a birch,
One - under an aspen.
How many will there be
in a wicker basket?
4. The apples in the garden are ripe,
We managed to taste them:
Five ruddy, liquid ones,
Three with sourness, how many are there?
Children guess riddles and Carlson gives the number.
Then the teacher again tears off the petal, says the words and the petal falls near the Bear. Potapych offers children the game "What is superfluous?". The card shows a set of geometric shapes, numbers and letters, by size, by color. Children answer why this number or letter is superfluous.
The next petal torn off by the children descends near the Bunny. He shows the children "Gyenes blocks" and two hoops. In the hoops are cards - symbols. Children put the corresponding figures on the cards.
And again the children tear off the petal, it flies and descends near the Wolf. The spinning top invites the children to sing the song "Top - a gray barrel" to him.
Another petal descends near Baba Yaga. And she told the children that the mice had gnawed through all her blankets. And she asks the children to help her sew and put patches in the game "Pick up the pattern."
The petal descends near the next fairy-tale character, the Hedgehog. He suggests the game "Find the missing piece".
