Abstract
In terms of the leap-forward development for education experiment, both the Chinese and English educational experiment have been very successful, while the progress of the children’s mathematics education experiment in China has been relatively slow. It is believed that the main reason for this is the lack of an efficient cognitive tool or system that supports students’ study and exploration and correspondingly covers the whole curriculum of children’s math education. In recent years, basic mathematics education cognitive tools have undergone rapid development, whereas the lack of a common normalization method for continued in-depth inquiry of the relationships among Objects, Algebra, and Geometry (OAG) has led to the fragmentation of students’ mathematical knowledge. Thus, it is difficult for students to develop a systematic understanding of mathematics. Therefore this project attempts to construct a Children’s Mathematics Exploring System (CMES), which integrates with cognition theory, method, and contents of basic mathematics education to query the essence of the relationships among OAG. Specifically, the functions of CMES include the following: (1) providing cognitive tools with typical characteristics for the relationships among OAG; (2) offering a general normalized open system on which sustainable in-depth research can be conducted and a conversion tool through which the complete textbook unit of the basic mathematics education can be converted to reveal the relationships among OAG; and (3) presenting a set of cognitive theories, methods, and a system of basic mathematics education to further explore the relationships among OAG. This project will accelerate the development of cognitive technology in basic mathematics education, widen its practical applications, reduce the difficulty of mathematics cognition, and finally improve the quality and efficiency of basic mathematics education.
Highlights
According to developmental psychology, childhood can be divided into early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence
The mathematics teachers from 6 different grades participated in the training and tried to introduce Children’s Mathematics Exploring System (CMES) into the classroom, and three teachers demonstrated the course of applying CMES
A mathematical cognitive system for children was designed to explore the essential relationships among OAG
Summary
Childhood can be divided into early childhood (preschool age), middle childhood (school age), and adolescence (puberty to legal adulthood). The Children mentioned in this research mainly refer to those at preschool age and school age. Mathematics serve as the language of natural science, and cognitive education in mathematics aims to cultivate basic mathematics ability. Countries all over the world pay greater attention to the important and basic role of mathematics cognitive education [1]–[3], and even propose to win the “mathematics war” [4]. Due to the significance and fundamental strategic role, the relevant research on mathematical cognitive education has become a hot spot in various countries [5]–[19].the level of mathematical cognitive technology is endless [21]–[22]. A lot of researchers have paid attention to the practice [20] and investigated the impact of different mathematical technologies on cognitive effects [23]
