Winter vacation is a relatively long vacation. Don’t let your children simply play during the vacation. Prepare an appropriate amount of extracurricular reading books for your children to broaden their knowledge and help them grow better. The author has selected some extracurricular books that can cultivate children's logical thinking ability. Reading more will be of great help to children's future science studies (mathematics, physics, chemistry).
2 to 7 years old: "Wisdom and Fun"
This set of books has 10 books in total, which is especially suitable for preschool children between 2 and 7 years old. The whole book provides directional training for children in 10 aspects, including abstract thinking ability, comprehensive coordination ability, language expression ability, mathematical reasoning ability, spatial perception ability, memory development training, observation and cognitive ability, analysis and judgment ability , creative imagination ability and discrimination and analysis ability.
All the books in the book are full of cute cartoon images, which are in line with the aesthetics of preschool children. At the same time, the rich thinking training games include coloring games, connect-and-read, maze-finding, cognitive analysis, spot-the-difference, etc., allowing children to better accept the reading and interaction process without feeling boring.
7-10 years old: "Playing with Science: Science and Knowledge in Games"
The biggest difference of this book is that it provides a variety of small experiments or small games , allowing children to Children participate in interactions and understand science through practice. Firstly, it stimulates children's interest in science. Secondly, it can arouse children's curiosity. Thirdly, it can also exercise children's hands-on practical ability, which is an ability that many children lack now.
A lot of the scientific knowledge mentioned in the book is actually some of the content that junior high school physics will come into contact with, such as air pressure, light, magnetism, etc., through small experiments in the book, children can gain preliminary understanding, and it will be easier to understand when they start formal study in junior high school.
9-12 years old: "Mathematics, physics and chemistry are so interesting"
This is a set of books that present boring knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry through legends, historical stories, natural phenomena, and anecdotes about life.
For example, the book uses the story of a fighter pilot during World War I "catching bullets with his bare hands" to show the speed problem in physics and also tells a world without friction from life. What will it be like, and You can't grow walnut trees in an apple orchardBut there is chemical knowledge. These interesting topics or stories not only open up children's cognition, but also convey relevant scientific knowledge. This is the "science" enlightenment education.
10-12 years old: "Three Mathematics Books for Children"
This set of books is suitable for older children to read. Even in junior high school and high school, if you occasionally read it, you can read it. It has inspired me a lot. The three books are "Mr. Ma Talks about Arithmetic", which talks about using graphic methods to solve some four arithmetic problems; "The Fun of Mathematics", which talks about mathematical problems encountered in daily life; and "The Garden of Mathematics", which explains some mathematical knowledge that is only involved in middle and high schools in easy-to-understand language, so that elementary school students can understand it.
The three books are all written by the same author, named Liu Xunyu , the founder of Chinese mathematics popular science works, who has influenced Yang Zhenning , Gu Chaohao and Feng Zikai.This series of books can be used as a self-study textbook for the Mathematical Olympiad. Many Mathematical Olympiad teaching aids on the market emphasize solving questions. This book analyzes the underlying logic of mathematics from a more theoretical level. Children will benefit a lot after reading it, and they will have the feeling of being able to understand by analogy. Therefore, children who have started doing Mathematical Olympiads in elementary school will have unexpected results if they use this set of books to assist them.
