The Function of Mathematical Games in Mathematics Teaching

# Ability Training # Introduction Because math games are interesting, exciting and challenging, students can be cultivated with strong interest in math and curiosity to explore unknown problems through math games. Let's explain the role of math games in math teaching. Welcome to read!

When many mathematicians begin to study a problem, they always have the same interest as children playing with new toys. First, they are curious and surprised, and then they are happy when the mystery is solved. In the process of math games, we will inevitably encounter some difficulties, such as "Doubt can't be recovered, but it can effectively train students' will quality, cultivate students' courage to face difficulties in math activities, cultivate their correct attitude towards math, and make them confident in learning math well.

First, it helps to stimulate students' initiative and creativity.

Teachers should create an educational environment that can guide students to actively participate, stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, and let every student get full development. The contents involved in mathematical games are often interesting, attractive and easy to understand, and do not need much preparatory knowledge. As long as you master the general basic knowledge, beginners can also enter the room. For example, combining regular polygons with the same or different shapes to splice a plane, and arranging two regular triangles or squares neatly can splice a plane, which is very simple and easy to use. But it can also be a combination of multiple regular polygons and multiple regular polygons, which can be ever-changing, and can create a variety of colorful patterns with endless fun. In the process of piecing together, students need to judge their own ideas, think independently and explore independently. Because each student's thinking is different, the results will be varied. In the game, students' initiative and creativity have been exercised and cultivated, and students' independent exploration ability, cooperation and communication ability and practical ability have also been cultivated and improved.

Second, it helps to infiltrate mathematical thought.

The similarity between games and mathematics ensures that mathematical games are conducive to the cultivation of mathematical ideas and enable students to understand the spirit of mathematics more deeply. Games can be used to guide students to engage in interesting math activities. Moreover, mathematical games also have the function of popularizing abstract knowledge.

Thirdly, math games help to inspire students' thinking ability.

As an intellectual game, mathematical games are particularly important in stimulating people's innovative thinking. In mathematics teaching, some problems are very complicated and difficult to understand. Understanding mathematical knowledge by means of mathematical games can fully train students' divergent thinking, make students break away from convention, broaden their thinking and get twice the result with half the effort when solving problems from different angles.

Fourth, it is conducive to cultivating students' self-confidence in learning.

Students' attention can't last long. After studying for a period of time, the attention is distracted, the brain is in a state of fatigue, and the thinking is inactive, which opens the door for students to quickly enter the learning state, and at the same time, the thinking activity is always in an exciting state, which opens the door for students to accept new knowledge and carry out innovative thinking. The introduction of games not only mobilized students' enthusiasm and initiative in learning, but also triggered their thinking again, achieving the expected teaching goal and getting twice the result with half the effort.
