2算多嗎?
多少、大小,需要經過比較……
這些相對與絕對的概念
怎樣跟孩子解釋最容易懂?
在車上,喬伊問媽媽:「2算多嗎?」
媽媽想了一下說:「兩個一元銅板不算多……兩隻臭烘烘的臭鼬可就算多了。」
喬伊又問:「3算多嗎?」
媽媽:「怎麼說呢,我認為書架上有三本書不算多……但如果斷了三根骨頭,那可就算多了。」
「那麼4呢?」喬伊問。
面對喬伊好奇的提問,媽媽還會用什麼生動有趣的例子來接招呢?
母子之間溫馨又風趣的對答,加上孩子天馬行空的想像,讓平凡的公路旅程,成了一趟冒險刺激的時光旅行!
在小男孩與媽媽的問答中,小男孩從2開始,不斷問媽媽多少算「多」?
相較於絕對的回答孩子多或少,媽媽發揮過人機智,信手拈來許多生活化又有創意的事物作為例子,引導小男孩在腦海中發揮自己的想像,衡量看看兩種東西即使有相同數量,但對「多少」的感受截然不同。
小男孩一邊在腦海中比較著多和少,同時將例子中的臭鼬、聖誕老人、恐龍等,隨著愈來愈多的問題,加入車程中一起共乘。
透過這些幽默的舉例,感受到物品大小、味道、位置、性質的不同,會影響對「多少」的衡量,單純的數字並不能固定代表多或少,讓孩子在輕鬆有趣的例子,毫不費力的理解「相對」的概念!
