Enjoy math at age 6 (total 6 volumes)

Description

The “Enjoyable Math” series that makes math really fun!
The most important thing in early childhood mathematics is to create a first impression of mathematics. If the first mathematics textbook they encounter is boring and difficult, they will develop the stereotype that "I hate mathematics, I'm bad at mathematics." This will determine their attitude toward mathematics in elementary, middle, and high school, so it is important to make mathematics fun and give them a sense of accomplishment during their early childhood years. Therefore, we must carefully consider whether the children's eye level and experience are well reflected. This is because we can stimulate curiosity and interest only when we consider the children's thinking and cognitive abilities. In addition, it must be a friendly storytelling that deals with topics from daily life so that they can easily understand the problems. "Enjoyable Math" is the series that can make mathematics truly fun.

What does 'enjoyable math' mean?
'Joyful Math' is an abbreviation for Joyful, Enlightened, and Emotional Math. It is a book that well reflects the mission of the Wiseman Gifted Education Research Institute, which has been leading the gifted education in mathematics and science in Korea, to 'create an educational culture with joy, enlightenment, and emotion.' 'Joyful Math' allows children to easily approach mathematics without aversion by using various materials such as situations encountered in daily life, puzzles, and games, rather than memorizing computational laws or formulas to mechanically solve problems. Through 'Joyful Rules and Problem Solving for 6 Year Olds,' children can learn how to think flexibly in mathematics while developing the habit of approaching mathematics in a fun way and understanding principles. This becomes an important foundation for confidence and a positive attitude toward mathematics.

A magical math book that children will fall in love with first
〈Joyful Math 6 and 7 Year Olds〉 Parents’ Review
It's not like studying, it's like a game or play, so it's fun. I told him to stop, but he kept doing it. If it were me, he would have had a hard time answering while twisting his body, but he solved it so well because the way he asked the questions changed. _Prayer Box
This is a book that allows me to practice the fun studying I usually think about. It is easy and fun, but it is a problem book that allows me to think. _devilmari
I think it's good because it's more like play than studying, so the child can learn the principles and concepts of math while solving problems without feeling aversion to math. _khkwak2
My 6-year-old daughter seems to be enjoying math already*^^* It's so great and lovely to see her solving problems on her own with joy, without finding it difficult^^ _Kaluanim
I think it's because my child is so caught up in the fun that he insists on doing it until the end. I think it will be very helpful for studying with my child in the future because I can also see his reactions to each math area. _Choco Princess

When solving arithmetic books, there were parts where I got bored because I kept doing simple tasks, but with this book, 'Joyful Feeling', I was surprised to see him sit at his desk for 2 hours and focus on solving it. _kaebi75
Whenever I solved a math problem, I would always frown and my son would look timid, but thanks to the fun, it was a fun time for both mom and son. _ilhiyoung

With the Joyful Math 6 and 7 series, you're ready to enter elementary school!
1. Creative thinking mathematics textbooks can lay the foundation for various areas of mathematics while considering children's understanding and interests. Depending on children's responses to each area, they can also be of great help in determining future learning directions.
2. By using everyday topics as mathematical materials, students can feel more familiar with mathematics and explore and observe mathematical principles in their daily lives.
3. It focuses on developing thinking, not repetitive practice. It can strengthen mathematical thinking, mathematical reasoning, creative problem-solving, and communication skills.
4. Use interesting materials such as storytelling and puzzle-style problem solving. Fun activities stimulate mathematical curiosity and interest, which in turn helps form a framework for mathematical thinking.
5. We value the expansion process according to the flow of thought rather than problem solving by difficulty level.
School math is also changing into 'fun/break/feel'!
According to the 'Plan to Advance Mathematics Education' announced by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, school mathematics is now changing to 'mathematics that fosters thinking skills, mathematics that is easy to understand and learn with fun, and mathematics that we do together.'
The goal of the new curriculum is to foster creativity and character in preparation for the future society. The content that requires simple memorization will be greatly reduced, and project-based learning and discussion-based classes will be the focus.
The so-called 'STEAM' education is emphasized to foster 'creative convergence talents', and integrated teaching and learning between mathematics and other subjects is attempted, and storytelling elements are added to mathematics textbooks to increase interest and understanding.
The 'fun, enlightenment, and moving education' that Wiseman Gifted Education has been carrying out for the past 15 years is now being implemented in school education as well.

How to use the 'Enjoyable Math for 6 Year Olds' series!
1. In what order and for how long should I solve them?
▶ First of all, the book “Joyful Math 6-year-old Basic Edition” is suitable as it covers all areas of “numbers and operations, shapes and space, measurement and classification, regularities and problem solving” at a basic level.
Next, it is recommended to study in the following order: “Numbers and Operations,” “Shapes and Space,” “Regularities and Problem Solving,” and “Measurement and Classification,” which allow you to focus on each area and build your skills step by step.
▶ 〈Numbers and Operations〉 and 〈Shapes and Space〉 are the areas that children encounter most frequently, and 〈Measurement and Classification〉 and 〈Regularities and Problem Solving〉 are closely related to daily life, but are often not encountered in general textbooks.
▶ The study period varies depending on the child's development level. For children who like math and are frequently exposed to it, one month per book is appropriate, and generally, two months is appropriate.
2. Our child's answer is correct, but it is not in the correct answer!
Creative children can come up with various answers other than the ones given in the answer sheet. The answers shown in the answer sheet are only examples of correct answers, so when parents judge, it is good to praise the child's answer if it is logical and reasonable. Also, do not just check the correct answers, but also check which parts your child has difficulty with and which concepts your child does not understand!
3. How should I teach them?
Depending on the type of problem or the child's condition, the learning progress may vary each time. They may solve many problems easily at once, or they may struggle with one problem for a long time. Rather than praising them for solving many problems or getting many answers right, praise the child's attitude and problem-solving process for working hard on their own, even if it is not the correct answer!
