"Unusual Mathematics" is a series of brightly colored notebooks for children aged 4 to 7. The first three notebooks in this series are suitable for classes with preschoolers. Now you have a new notebook "Unusual Mathematics After School" - it is suitable for schoolchildren in grades 1-2. It contains a variety of problems, arithmetic and logical, which are usually not found in textbooks.
Very often, primary school teachers tell parents that children need to learn the composition of a number by heart or solve several columns with similar examples for speed. At the same time, they repeat the thesis that it is important to practice and automate counting skills. This notebook will help your children automate counting skills without cramming and without boring columns. There are quite a lot of arithmetic tasks with counting within a hundred here, but the tasks look completely different. We have maps with travels through islands, flowers or planets: you need to solve the example, write the answer and draw arrows of the required length to find out where the route will end. Arithmetic pyramids and arithmetic triangles are another type of tasks that develop counting skills and logic.
At the same time, we consider it important to show children and adults that mathematics is not only arithmetic, examples and word problems. Our notebook contains many different beautiful geometric tasks, including those about volumetric figures - prisms, pyramids, octahedrons. You can make models of volumetric figures from soaked chickpeas and toothpicks. We offer beautiful and complex tasks on symmetry - with butterflies on checkered paper, as well as many different graphic dictations and graphic examples. These tasks help children develop spatial thinking and learn to navigate on a sheet of paper.
It is important for children to learn not only to count, but also to reason logically, find patterns and understand sequences. We offer children a variety of tasks to test their ability to understand patterns. For example, in one type of task, you need to figure out what kind of house you will get if you assemble the parts in this order.
Children aged 6-8 often confuse right and left. We offer a rather difficult task with trees, where you need to find and color the necessary leaf according to the PPL scheme (at the first two forks, choose the right branch, then the left one).
Cute monsters and problems about time, codes and coordinates - all these are also math tasks!
Let the children choose the order in which to solve these problems, and let them see that mathematics is beautiful!
