Mathematics is not only an exact science, but also quite complex. It is not easy for everyone, but it is even more difficult to introduce a child to perseverance and love for numbers. AT recent times among teachers, such a method as mathematical fairy tales is popular. The results of their trial use in practice were impressive, and therefore fairy tales became an effective way to introduce children to science. Increasingly, they are used in schools.

Number stories for kids

Now before the child will go in the first grade, he should already be able to write, read and perform the most simple mathematical operations. Parents will benefit from mathematical fairy tales for preschoolers, because with them the kids will learn the wonderful world of numbers in a playful way.

Such stories are simple stories about good and evil, where numbers are the main characters. They have their own country and their own kingdom, they have kings, teachers and students, and in these lines there is always a moral, which a little listener needs to catch.

Tale of the proud Number One

One day Number One was walking down the street and saw a rocket in the sky.

Hello, fast and nimble rocket! My name is Number One. I am very lonely and proud, like you. I like to walk alone and I'm not afraid of anything. I believe that loneliness is the most important quality, and the one who is alone is always right.

To this the rocket replied:

Why am I alone? Quite the opposite. I take astronauts into the sky, they sit inside me, and around us are stars and planets.

Having said this, the rocket flew away, and our heroine went further and saw Number Two. She immediately greeted her proud and lonely friend:

Hello, Odin, come for a walk with me.

I don't want to, I like being alone. The one who is alone is considered the most important, - said the Unit.

Why do you think that the one who is alone is the most important? asked Deuce.

A person has one head, and it is the most important, so one is better than two.

Although a person has one head, but two arms and two legs. Even the head has a pair of eyes and ears. And these are the most important organs.

Then the One realized that it was very difficult to be alone, and went for a walk with the Number Two.

Funny math three and two

In one school state, where all the children loved to study, there lived the Number Five. And everyone else envied her, especially Three and Two. And one day two friends decided to expel the Five from the state so that the students would love them, and not the cherished assessment. We thought and thought about how to do this, but according to the laws of the school state, no one has the right to drive the figure away, she can leave only of her own free will.

Three and Two decided to make a tricky move. They argued with Number Five. If she doesn't win, she must leave. The subject of the dispute was the answer of the boy-loser at the lesson of mathematics. If he gets canceled "five", then the brave figure wins, and if not, then Three and Two will be considered the winners.

Number Five honestly prepared for the lesson. She spent the whole evening studying with the boy, learning numbers and making equalities. The next day, the student received an "A" at school, our heroine won, and Troika and Two had to run away in disgrace.

Mathematical fairy tales for children of primary school age

Kids enjoy listening to math stories. In mathematics, grade 3 with their help learns the material more easily. But not only to listen, but also to compose their own stories, guys at this age can.

All stories in this period are selected quite simple. The main characters are numbers and signs. It is very important at this age to show the children how to study properly. Lot useful information parents and teachers can find in books for grade 3 ("Mathematics"). Mathematical tales with different characters will be described further.

Parable about big numbers

Once all the big numbers gathered and went to a restaurant to relax. Among them were domestic - Raven, Kolod, Darkness, which are already thousands of years old, and proud foreign guests - Million, Trillion, Quintillion and Sextillion.

And they ordered a noble dinner: pancakes with red and black caviar, expensive champagne, they eat, walk, do not deny themselves anything. The waiter works at their table - Nolik. He runs back and forth, serves everything, cleans up broken wine glasses, takes care of him, sparing no effort. And the honored guests know to themselves they say: "Bring this, bring that." Nolik is not respected. And Sextillion also gave a slap on the back of the head.

Then Nolik was offended and quit the restaurant. And all the high ordinary Units became worthless. So, you can not offend even those who seem unimportant.

Equation with one unknown

And here is another mathematical fairy tale (Grade 3) - about the unknown X.

Once there were different numbers in the same equation. And among them were whole and fractional, large and unambiguous. They had never met so close before, so they started dating:

Hello. I am the Unit.

Good afternoon. I am Twenty Two.

And I'm Two Thirds.

So they introduced themselves, got to know each other, and one figure stood aside and did not name himself. Everyone asked her, tried to find out, but the figure said to all questions:

Can not say!

They were offended by such a statement of the number and went to the most respected Sign of Equality. And he answered:

Don't worry, the time will come, and you will definitely find out what this number is. Do not rush, let this number remain unknown for now. Let's call him X.

Everyone agreed on a fair Equality, but still decided to stay away from X and went beyond the equal sign. When all the numbers lined up in a row, they began to multiply, divide, add up and subtract. When all the actions were performed, it turned out that the unknown X became known and was equal to only one number.

So the secret of the mysterious X was revealed. Can you solve math riddles?

Fifth grade number stories

In the fifth grade, children are more and more familiar with arithmetic and methods of calculation. For them, more serious riddles are suitable. At this age, it is good to introduce children to their own writing stories about those things that they have already learned. Consider what a mathematical fairy tale should be like (grade 5).

Scandal

Different figures lived in the same kingdom of Geometry. And they existed quite peacefully, complementing and supporting each other. Queen Axiom kept order, and Theorems were in her assistants. But once Axiom fell ill, and the figures took advantage of this. They began to figure out which of them was the most important. The Theorems intervened in the dispute, but they could no longer contain the general panic.

As a result of the chaos in the realm of Geometry, people began to have big troubles. All railways they stopped working because they converged, the houses were skewed, because the rectangles were replaced by octahedrons and dodecahedrons. The machines stopped, the machines broke down. It seemed like the whole world had gone awry.

Seeing all this, Axiom clutched her head. She ordered all the Theorems to line up and follow each other in a logical order. After that, all the Theorems had to collect all their subordinate figures and explain to each her great destiny in the world of man. Thus, order was restored in the country of Geometry.

Tale of the Point

There are completely different mathematical tales. Numbers and numbers, fractions and equalities appear in them. But most of all, fifth graders like stories about things they are just starting to learn about. Many students do not understand the importance of simple, elementary things, without which the whole world of mathematics would collapse. Such a mathematical fairy tale (grade 5) is called upon to explain to them the importance of this or that sign.

Little Dot felt very lonely in the realm of Mathematics. She was so tiny that they constantly forgot about her, put her anywhere and did not respect her at all. Whether business direct! It is large and long. You can see it, and no one will forget to draw it.

And the Point decided to escape from the kingdom, because because of it there are always only problems. The student will grab a deuce, because he forgot to put a point, or something else. She felt the dissatisfaction of others and she herself was worried about this.

But where to run? Although the kingdom is large, the choice is small. And then the Direct Line came to the aid of the Point and said:

Period, run for me. I'm infinite, so you will run out of the kingdom.

The dot did just that. And as soon as she set off on her way, Mathematics fell into chaos. The numbers got excited, huddled together, because now there was no one to determine their place on the digital beam. And the rays began to dissolve before our eyes, because they did not have a Point that would limit them and turn them into segments. The numbers stopped multiplying, because now the multiplication sign has been replaced with an oblique cross, and what to take from it? He's oblique.

All the inhabitants of the kingdom became worried and began to ask the Point to return. And you know, she rolls like a bun along an endless straight line. But she heard the requests of her compatriots and decided to return. Since then, the Point not only has its place in space, but is very respected and revered, and even has its own definition.

What fairy tales can be read to the sixth grade?

In the sixth grade, children already know and understand a lot. These are already adult guys who are unlikely to be interested in primitive stories. For them, you can pick up something more serious, for example, mathematical problems-fairy tales. Here are a few options.

How the coordinate line was formed

This story is about how to remember and understand what numbers with a negative and positive value are. A mathematical fairy tale (Grade 6) will help to understand this topic.

The lone Plusik walked and wandered the earth. And he had no friends. So he wandered through the forest for a long, long time, until he met Straight. She was clumsy and no one wanted to talk to her. Then Plusik invited her to walk together. Direct was delighted and agreed. For this, she offered Plusik to sit on her long shoulders.

Friends went further and wandered into a dark forest. For a long time they wandered along the narrow paths until they came to a clearing where the house stood. They knocked on the door, and Minus opened for them, who was also lonely and did not make friends with anyone. Then he joined Direct and Plus, and they went on together.

They went out to the city of Numbers, where only numbers lived. We saw the numbers Plus and Minus and immediately wanted to make friends with them. And they began to grab first one, then the other.

The king of the kingdom Zero came out to the noise. He ordered everyone to line up along the straight line, and he himself stood in the middle. Everyone who wanted to be with a plus had to stand at the same distance from each other on the right side of the king, and those with a minus - the same way, but on the left, in ascending order. Thus, a coordinate line was formed.

Mystery

The topics of mathematical fairy tales can cover all the questions covered. Here is one good riddle that will allow you to generalize knowledge in geometry.

Once all the quadrangles gathered together and decided that it was necessary to choose the most important among them. But how to do that? We decided to test. Whoever gets to the kingdom of Mathematics first from the clearing will become the main one. On that they agreed.

At dawn, all the quadrangles left the clearing. They go, and a fast river crosses their path. She says:

Not everyone will be able to pass through me. Only those of you whose diagonals at the intersection point are divided in half will move to the other side.

Only those whose diagonals are equal will be able to conquer my summit.

Again, the losing quadrangles remained at the foot, and the rest went on. Suddenly - a cliff with a narrow bridge, on which only one can pass, the one whose diagonals intersect at right angles.

Here are the questions for you:

Who became the main quadrangle?

Who was the main competitor and reached the bridge?

Who was the first to leave the competition?

Isosceles Triangle Mystery

Mathematical tales in mathematics can be very entertaining and already contain hidden questions in their essence.

In one state there lived a family of the Triangle: a mother-side, a father-side and a son-foundation. It's time to choose a bride for your son.

And the Foundation was very modest and cowardly. He was afraid of everything new, but there is nothing to do, you need to get married. Then his mother and father found him a good bride - Median from a neighboring kingdom. But Mediana had a terribly nasty nanny who gave our fiancé a whole test.

Help the unlucky Foundation solve the difficult problems of Geometry's nanny and marry Median. Here are the questions themselves:

Explain which triangle is called an isosceles triangle.

What is the difference between an isosceles triangle and an equilateral triangle?

Who is the Median and what is its peculiarity?

The Riddle of Proportions

On one side, not far from the realm of Arithmetic, lived four dwarfs. They were called Here, There, Where and How. Everyone New Year one of them brought a small Christmas tree one meter high. They dressed her up with 62 balloons, one icicle and one star. But one day they all decided to go for the Christmas tree together. And they chose the most beautiful and highest. They brought it home, but it turned out that there were few decorations. They measured the tree, and it turned out to be six times larger than usual.

Use the proportion to calculate how many decorations the gnomes need to buy.

Hero of the Planet Violet

As a result of research, it was discovered that they live on the planet Violet. It was decided to send an expedition there. Kolya was a part of the team. It so happened that only he managed to get to the planet. There is nothing to do, you need to carry out a responsible task from the Earth.

As it turned out, all the inhabitants of the planet lived in round houses, because the population did not know how to calculate the area of ​​rectangles. The earthlings decided to help them, and Kolya had to do it.

But the boy did not know geometry well. He did not want to study, he always copied his homework. There is nothing to do, you need to figure out how to teach the residents of Violet to find the required area. With great difficulty, Kolya remembered that one square with a side of 1 cm has an area of ​​1 sq. cm, and a square with a side of 1 m - 1 sq. m. and so on. Arguing like this, Kolya drew a rectangle and divided it into squares of 1 cm each. There were 12 of them in it, 4 on one side and three on the other.

Then Kolya drew another rectangle, but with 30 squares. Of these, 10 were placed along one side, 3 - along the other.

Help Kolya calculate the area of ​​the rectangles. Write down the formula.

Can you compose your own mathematical fairy tales or problems?

Mathematics is interesting.

Fairy tales for preschool children 5 - 7 years old.

Description of work: Author's fairy tales are compiled and illustrated by children and parents of the preparatory group for school. The content of fairy tales of a mathematical nature. This material can be used by educators as well as parents. This material can be used in joint activities with children and part of direct educational activities.

"Forest Story"

In a certain kingdom, a mathematical state, there lived a family of bunnies. They all looked alike, but their names were different. Different and unusual. Dad was called "One", he was the tallest, mom - "Two", she was a little lower than dad, and their children were called: "Three", "Four" and "Five". Tri was the eldest, and he tried to help his parents in everything. Four - was average: below Three and above Five, he often looked after his younger brother. And Five was very small and did not know how to do anything.
The Zaichikov family lived in a small house, on the Forest Edge, in the shade of three tall oaks, a stream flowed nearby, over which two willows leaned.
The hares grew up quickly and in their small house there was no longer enough space for the whole family. The Hares decided to build themselves a new big house so that it had two floors: one floor for large Bunnies, and one for small ones.
They decided to build from birch branches, and the path to the birch grove was short: you pass along a narrow bridge over a stream, turn left - and you are there! The whole hare family came to the grove. Dad picked up the largest armful of ten thick branches, mom - Hare - a little smaller -
nine branches, its branches were thinner, but also strong. The eldest son collected branches more than all his brothers, the middle one more than the younger one, and the younger one a little, but the branches were thin and flexible.
The hares began to return to the edge along the same short road, and along a narrow bridge, but that's the trouble! With wide armfuls, there is no way to get through the narrow bridge!
The bunnies are sad. A crow sat high up in a tree. She said: “Don’t be sad, rabbits, there is another road here, it is a little longer, but wider and it will be more convenient for you to go along it.” And she also called five strong cubs to help the hares.
All of them together easily reached the edge. Then they cheerfully and amicably built a new big house. Guests came to the housewarming party: ten squirrels, six fox cubs and five friendly cubs.

"The Tale of the Three Princesses"

In a distant kingdom there lived a king with three daughters. They loved to solve puzzles and solve riddles in the evenings. For each correct answer, the princesses received a gift. The eldest princess loved to receive gifts of gold, the middle princess of diamonds, and the youngest loved flowers and animals.
One evening the king said: “I brought many various gifts. Which of my daughters correctly solves the puzzles will receive gifts.
Task no! - For the elder princess: pick 5 yellow apples from one apple tree, and 5 red apples from the other. How many apples did you pick in total?

Task #2 - For the average princess: in your box are 6 rings with diamonds. I brought you 2 more rings. How many rings will you have in total?
Task number 3 - For the younger princess: you had 9 kittens, and 2 ran away. How many kittens are left?
All the princesses solved their problems correctly, and the tsar gave the elder princess a golden chest, the middle princess 2 rings with diamonds, and the younger princess a cheerful puppy.
Here's a fairy tale for you, and a glass of butter for me.

"About 0 and 1"

Once upon a time there were numbers and numbers in the city of Mathematics. They always argued who is more important and older, they even came up with unusual signs for themselves.<», «>», «+», «=», «-».
Among them lived a one and a zero.
They really wanted to go to school, but they were not accepted because they were small.
Friends thought, thought and came up with the idea that they need to stick together.
And the number 10 came out of them.
They became larger in number, and they were taken to school.
Everyone in the city began to respect them. This is how the numbers 1 and 0, or the number 10, began to live together. And other numbers looked at their friendship and also began to live more friendly.
So there were numbers more than 10.

"A Tale of Two Grades"

In a certain kingdom, in a distant state, in the country of School lessons, they lived - they didn’t grieve next to - in the neighborhood, two numbers: two and five.
Friendship did not take them in any way, the eternal dispute between them stood: which of them is more important?
The five said that she was more important and smarter than the two, that only for good knowledge you can get it, and two knowledge is not needed for evaluation.
A deuce in response to her, that it is also impossible without her, then there will be no striving for excellence in studies. That it gives impetus to the further pursuit of knowledge.
There was no end to their argument. What grade are you?
Here you will live, live, gain your mind, and avoid hardship. Then perhaps their dispute will be resolved.

"Christmas story"

One New Year's Eve, this story happened in our family. Everyone began to prepare for the holiday. Dad, mom, grandmother, grandfather, sister Veronika and me, Semyon.
Our family is big, but did you manage to count us? Dad brought a big, fluffy, green Christmas tree. And on it we noticed an unusual envelope. What does that mean, we all thought. Opening the envelope, we realized that this was a message from distant Lapland, where Santa Claus lives. This letter was with assignments. Santa Claus asked me to decorate the Christmas tree so that my grandmother would hang three cones on the Christmas tree, my grandfather would hang five balls, my mother would decorate the Christmas tree with two firecrackers, and Veronica would hang four sweets, and I would hang one garland. And you managed to count how many toys you had to hang on the Christmas tree. And on the top of the head we hoisted a five-pointed star. Who knows how many ends a star has? And when the New Year came, and we woke up. We saw gifts from Santa Claus under the tree, which means that we correctly fulfilled his request.
Grandpa got a watch, grandma got a shawl, mom got perfume, dad got a fishing rod, Veronika got a doll, and me, Semyon, got roller skates.
Have you managed to count how many gifts Santa Claus brought us?

"About Cinderella"

In one fairy-tale kingdom, there lived a girl named Cinderella. She was an orphan, raised by her stepmother, and she had two daughters. The daughters were very lazy, and Cinderella had to do all the housework. One fine day the King invited everyone to the ball. But Cinderella's stepmother did not allow her to go to the ball. She ordered Cinderella to solve all the problems for her return, to solve all the problems that her daughter did not solve for her return:
The room has 4 corners. There was a cat in every corner. On the contrary, each cat is 3 cats. How many cats are in the room?
How to bring water in a sieve?
What dishes can not be eaten?
Cinderella also had to wash the dishes: 5 spoons and 5 cups and 5 plates. How many dishes were washed? When the stepmother returned home with her daughters. Cinderella quickly completed her stepmother's task and sat down to needlework.

Today is the question of development creativity students in the theory and practice of teaching is especially important, since recent studies have revealed that schoolchildren have much more than previously thought the ability to learn material, both in the usual and in non-standard situations.
In modern psychology, there is a point of view on creativity: all thinking is creative (there is no uncreative thinking).
Human thinking, creativity is the greatest gift of nature. The upbringing environment either suppresses the genetically determined gift, or helps it to open up. Favorable Environment and qualified pedagogical leadership are able to turn a “gift” into an outstanding talent.
The task of the teacher is not only to teach the child mathematics and other subjects, but to develop cognitive abilities guys by means of this subject.
Indeed, if you ask schoolchildren which subject they like more than others, it is unlikely that most of them will name mathematics, although they take it seriously. And how often we hear an unflattering comment about our subject - “boring” science. And we, mathematicians, are often called “crackers” and “bores”. It's embarrassing to the core. But this is not the fault of the subject, but, probably, the fault of those who teach it.
And among the teachers of literature, the history of "nerds" is no less. But our educational material much less entertaining than literary, historical. What excites the soul more: “The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs” or “I loved you. Love has, perhaps, not completely died out in my soul”?

“A mathematician who is not partly a poet will never achieve perfection in mathematics.”, - said K. Weierstrass.
Some questions of school mathematics seem not interesting enough, sometimes boring, hence one of the reasons for poor mastering of the subject is the lack of interest. I think that by increasing interest in the subject, it would be possible to significantly speed up and improve its study.
Although we do not possess such an arsenal of influence on the soul as literature, history, etc., we also have something.
There are no easy paths to science. And mastering mathematics “happily and easily” is not so easy. It is necessary to use every opportunity to ensure that the children study with interest, so that the majority of adolescents experience and realize the attractive aspects of mathematics, its possibilities in improving mental abilities, in overcoming difficulties.
I pay a lot of attention in my lessons. gaming technologies, as a type of transformative creative activity, in close connection with other types of educational work.

"Do academic work as interesting as possible for the child and not to turn this work into fun is one of the most difficult and most important tasks of didactics,” wrote KD Ushinsky.

The increase in mental load in mathematics lessons makes each teacher think about how to maintain interest in the material being studied, to intensify the activity of students throughout the lesson. The emergence of interest in mathematics in most students depends on how skillfully the teacher builds his work. It is necessary to take care that each child actively and enthusiastically works, strives for continuous knowledge and development of his childish imagination. This is especially important in adolescence, when permanent interests and inclinations towards a particular subject are still being formed and determined. It is during this period that one should strive to reveal the attractive aspects of mathematics.

One way to solve this problem is to use game situations in mathematics lessons. Every teacher needs to remember that students adolescence, and even more so the weakest of them, especially quickly get tired of prolonged monotonous mental work. Fatigue is one of the reasons for the decline in interest and attention to learning. It is possible to reduce the fatigue of students from performing monotonous computational exercises with the help of game situations.
It would seem that a fairy tale and mathematics are incompatible concepts. Bright fabulous image and dry abstract thought! But fairy-tale problems increase interest in mathematics. This is very important for students in grades 5-6.

Fairy tale lesson.

The essential side of this lesson is the game actions that are regulated by the rules of the game, contribute to the cognitive activity of students, give them the opportunity to show their abilities, apply their knowledge and skills to achieve the goals of the game. The teacher, as the leader of the game, directs it in the right didactic direction, maintains interest, and encourages those who are lagging behind.

Fairy tales are needed in 5-6 grades. In the lessons where there is a fairy tale, always reigns good mood, and this is the key to productive work. A fairy tale banishes boredom: Thanks to a fairy tale, humor, fantasy, fiction, and creativity are present in the lesson. Most importantly, students learn math.

Game plots and situations most often arise during game lessons: fairy tale lessons, travel lessons, etc. But also at different stages of the lessons.

1. The more tasks and exercises students complete, the better and deeper they learn the program in mathematics. And they are very helpful in achieving this goal. oral assignments, verbal counting. Such activities develop the activity of thinking and ingenuity, increase the speed of calculations.

The benefits of mental arithmetic are enormous. Applying the laws of arithmetic operations to oral calculations, students not only repeat them, reinforce them, but, most importantly, learn them not mechanically, but consciously. With oral calculations, such valuable human qualities as attention, concentration, endurance, ingenuity, and independence are developed. Oral counting contributes to the training of memory, opens up wide opportunities for the development of the creative initiative of students.

Mathematics "Interests are not boring"

Also, when studying this topic, I often use puzzles with “semi-joking” content and puzzles with fairy-tale characters.

1. Little Red Riding Hood brought pies to her grandmother. On the way, she ate 20% of the pies, gave 10% of all the pies to the hare, 50% of the remaining pies to the wolf, and brought the last 7 to her grandmother. How many pies did Little Red Riding Hood have at the beginning?

2. Carlson ate at first 50% of the jam in the jar, then ate 80% of the remaining jam, then the last 5 spoons. How much jam was in the jar if the spoon holds 25 g.

3. King Peas decided to marry his daughter, Princess Nesmeyana. Nesmeyana set a condition: “I will marry the prince who will guess all my riddles.” 40% of grooms immediately lost interest in getting married, 20% solved only half of the riddles, 16% only one riddle, 22% did not solve any. How many suitors did Nesmeyana woo if she did get married?

Upon completion of the topic (almost any one), you can give the task: “Come up with a fairy tale, story, task based on the material studied.” Children are great inventors, they happily complete these tasks, and the teacher at the same time accumulates the richest material.
Children often confuse the numerator and denominator, so you can offer them such a fairy tale.
Two brothers lived in a two-story house. The one who lived on the second floor liked to be clean and washed often, so he was called the Numerator. And the one who lived on the ground floor did not like to wash, and even the Numerator poured water out of the window and splashed his brother. Therefore, he was spattered, smeared, and they called him the Denominator. And so it went, clean - on top, numerator, Splattered - below, denominator.
Activation of knowledge on the topic “PERCENTAGE”

The Tale of the Cunning and Greedy King

One cunning and greedy king somehow called his guards and solemnly declared: Guardsmen! You serve me well! I decided to reward you and increase everyone's monthly salary by 20%!” "Hooray!" shouted the guards. “But,” said the king, “only for one month. And then I will reduce it by the same I 20%. Do you agree?” “Why not agree? the guards were surprised. “Let it be for at least one month!” And so it was decided. A month passed, everyone was happy. “Bot is great! said the old guard to his friends over a glass of beer. I used to get $10 a month, but this month I got $12! Let's drink to the king's health!"

Another month has passed. And the old guard received a salary of only 9 dollars 60 cents. "How so? he got excited. “After all, if you first increase the salary by 20%, and then reduce it by the same 20%, then it should remain the same!” “Not at all,” explained the wise stargazer. “The increase in your salary was 20% of $10, or $2, and the decrease was 20% of $12, or $2.4.”

The guardsmen were sad, but there was nothing to be done - after all, they themselves agreed. And so they decided to outwit the king. They went to the king and said: “Your Majesty! Of course, you were right when you said that raising a salary by 20% and then lowering it by the same 20% is the same thing. And if this is the same thing, then let's do it again, but only in reverse. Let's do this: You first lower our salary by 20%, and then increase it by the same 20%.” “Well then,” replied the king, “your request is logical; let it be your way!"
Exercise. Calculate how much the old guard now received at the end of the first month and after the end of the second. Who outsmarted whom?
And here are some more fairy tales that can be used in math lessons.

Tale of Zero

Once upon a time there lived Zero. At first he was small, very small, like a poppy seed. Zero never gave up on semolina and grew big, big. Thin, angular numbers 1, 4, 7 envied Zero. After all, he was round, impressive.
- To be his main, - prophesied all around.
And Zero put on airs and swelled like a turkey.
They put Zero somehow in front of the Two, and even separated it from it with a comma to emphasize its exclusivity. And what? The value of the number suddenly decreased tenfold! We put Zero in front of other numbers - the same thing.
Everyone is surprised. And some even began to say that Zero only has an appearance, but no content.
Zero heard this and became sad ... But sadness is not a helper to trouble, something must be done. Zero stretched, stood on tiptoe, crouched, lay down on his side, and the result is still the same.
Zero was now glancing enviously at the other numbers: though unobtrusive in appearance, each one meant something. Some even managed to grow into a square or a cube, and then they became important numbers. Zero also tried to climb into a square, and then into a cube, but nothing happened - he remained himself. Null wandered around the wide world, unhappy and destitute. Once he saw how the numbers line up in a row, and reached out to them: he was tired of loneliness. Zero approached imperceptibly and stood modestly behind everyone. And oh, miracle! He immediately felt strength in himself, and all the numbers looked at him kindly: after all, he increased their strength tenfold.

Tale of Zero

Far, far away, beyond the seas and mountains, was the country of Tsifiriya. Very honest numbers lived in it. Only Zero was lazy and dishonest. Once everyone learned that far beyond the desert, Queen Arithmetic appeared, calling the inhabitants of Tsifiriya to her service. Everyone wanted to serve the queen. Between Cytheria and the kingdom of Arithmetic lay a desert, which was crossed by four rivers: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. How to get to Arithmetic? Numbers decided to unite (after all, it is easier to overcome difficulties with comrades) and try to cross the desert. Early in the morning, as soon as the sun touched the earth with oblique rays, the numbers set off. They walked for a long time under the scorching sun and finally reached the Slozhenie River. Numbers rushed to the river to drink, but the river said: "Pair in pairs and add up, then I will give you a drink." All obeyed the order of the river. Fulfilled the desire and the lazy Zero, but the number with which he developed remained dissatisfied: after all, the river gave as much water as there were units in the sum, and the sum did not differ from the number. The sun bakes even more. We reached the Subtraction River. She also demanded a payment for water: to become couples and subtract a smaller number from a larger one; whoever gets the answer less will get more water. And again, the number paired with Zero turned out to be the loser and was upset. The numbers wandered further through the sultry desert. The Multiplication River required the numbers to multiply. The number paired with Zero did not receive water at all. It barely made it to the Division River. And at the River Division, none of the numbers wanted to become a pair with Zero. Since then, none of the numbers has been divisible by zero. True, Queen Arithmetic reconciled all numbers with this lazy person: she simply began to attribute Zero next to the number, which from this increased tenfold. And the numbers began to live and live and make good.

stupid king

In a certain kingdom of Mathematics lived, there were numbers. They lived together, were very hardworking, counted a lot and increased the wealth of their country. The figures worked hard, added, multiplied, divided everything equally and were very happy at the same time.

But one day the number zero decided to proclaim himself king. This king became very cruel and evil, humiliated all other figures. They endured the numbers, endured and decided to teach King Zero a lesson. When the dark night came, they packed up all their belongings and went to the nearest forest. There they hid then their cruel king.

And King Zero was left to live alone. His kingdom began to decline. No one multiplied, no one added, all hardworking numbers disappeared. The king became sad and realized that nothing could happen without all the numbers. I decided to go into the forest and ask forgiveness from all the figures. And so he did, returned all the numbers to the state. And everyone began to live happily and cheerfully. After all, zero only with the rest of the numbers means something.

majestic shot

Once upon a time there was a Fraction, and she had two servants - the Numerator and the Denominator. Shot pushed them around as best she could. “I am the most important,” she told them. “What would you do without me?” She especially liked to humiliate the Denominator. And the more she insulted him, the smaller the denominator became, the more the Fraction swelled in its own grandeur.
And Fraction, I must admit, was not the only one. For some reason, some people also think that the more they humiliate others, the more magnificent they themselves become. At first, the Fraction became as big as a table, then like a house, then like a globe... And when the Denominator became completely invisible, the Fraction took on the Numerator. And he, too, soon turned into a speck of dust, into a zero ...
Have you guessed what happened to the Shot? Zero in the numerator, zero in the denominator. This is what the hell happened!

Mathematical fairy tale "THE TALE ABOUT HOW DIVIDED BY ZERO, YES NOT DIVIDED".

Two squared

Yes, they lived, but did not grieve the indicator and the foundation of the degree. Everything went smoothly with them, they didn’t quarrel, didn’t swear, and if they did start, they immediately put up. The base was engaged in household chores, and the indicator built new house for them. And then one day on a cloudy, but at the same time warm day, the Foundation and the Indicator quarreled. And they quarreled hard ...
The Foundation threw the buckets of water on the ground and started yelling at the indicator that they wanted them to disperse. The indicator did the same for the Bottom. They swore, swore, swore, and as a result, their construction site fell into disrepair, the well was overgrown with grass, the old house squinted and began to collapse, the whole earth dried up. But even despite this, the parts of the degree did not reconcile with each other ... During another quarrel, the once-frequent guest number 4 dropped in on them. "What are you doing?! Why are you swearing ?!" she exclaimed.
"I don't want to live with that foundation!" replied the Indicator.
"And I don't want to live with this Indicator!" - answered the Foundation.
After a little thought, the Four came to a brilliant, important decision:
“If you didn’t swear, then your house would be built, the site cleared and green, the well would be in good condition! Your quarrel led to the destruction of your life! And what is even more unpleasant, to the destruction of mine. You are part of me! You- Two in the Square, and I'm Four! We are not just friends, we are very close relatives, and as soon as you started to quarrel, I began to get sick ... Now I still have a runny nose ... "
Foundation and Indicator looked at each other...and embraced. They forgot all past grievances, quarrels and hardships, and soon they built a house and invited the Four to live, which reunited them and reconciled them.
And they began to live and live and make decimal fractions.

In the country of Mathematics, in the city of Even, the number 13 appeared.
But no one talked to him just because he was an odd number.
= And so number 1 decided to meet him. They became best friends.
So they became friends, that they united, and the number 14 turned out. After all, 13 + 1 = 14!
Developing an interest in mathematics by such methods of activity, I am convinced of their effectiveness. There is a positive dynamics of progress and quality of students' knowledge. In addition, the above methods have a health-saving focus: they relieve fatigue, the intensity of mental work, and increase the efficiency of students in the classroom.
It should be considered that all children are talented from birth, and the goal of all adults, these children around: teachers, parents, is not to extinguish the spark of talent. In my work, I feel the support of parents who are constantly interested in the success of their children, stimulate their interest in the subject. Working with strong students also affects the growth of the teacher himself. This encourages me to engage in self-education, and I will be happy to share my creative findings with colleagues, speaking at a methodological association.
What needs to be done so that talented children grow up into talented adults, i.e. could realize themselves, achieve recognition and success?
We cannot change genetics, what is given is given. Attempts to change the social environment also do not lead to success. This means that we only have the opportunity to create an intellectual environment in the classroom, at school, in the city.
Children are naturally curious and eager to learn. In order for them to be able to show their talents, proper guidance is needed for the development of creative abilities in the classroom and outside of school hours.
“Incentives of mathematicians of all times: curiosity and the pursuit of beauty”, wrote Diedone J., and we try to use them in our work.
All this will happen if the attitude of the teacher to the children and the subject, and the attitude of the children to the subject and the teacher, have the character of positive creative cooperation.
Thus, teaching mathematics gives the teacher a unique opportunity to develop a child at any stage of the formation of his intellect.
Ahead of me are new searches, new concerns in the education and upbringing of the younger generation.
In conclusion, I want to say: mathematics, of course, is a complex science, and if you do not bring a grain of humor and love into its teaching, then it is very difficult to get children to love this subject. No area of ​​human activity can do without mathematics - both without specific mathematical knowledge and intellectual qualities developing in the course of mastering this subject.
And I will summarize: mathematics is a fertile ground for the creativity of the teacher and his students.
You just have to love your subject. And, of course, students.

Project "Mathematical Fairy Tale"

Introduction.

“The main task of teaching mathematics at school is to ensure a strong and conscious mastery by students of the system of mathematical knowledge and skills necessary in Everyday life and labor activity sufficient to study related disciplines and continue education” , - says the explanatory note of the program in mathematics.

The school faces the task of raising the general level of development of students, preparing students for further education and self-education. At the heart of renewal and restructuring school education lies the problem of the development of the creative personality of the student, which involves the full provision of opportunities for its self-disclosure and self-improvement. With this approach, the child is considered as a unique, self-developing individual.
For the development of creative abilities in mathematics, academician Kolmogorov believed, it is necessary to go beyond mathematics itself and develop general cultural interests in a child, in particular, an interest in art. The mathematical development of a person is impossible without raising the level of his general culture. It is necessary to strive for a comprehensive, harmonious development personality. One-sided development of abilities does not contribute to success in mathematical activity. Great benefits for the development of the creative personality of the student can play various forms written presentation of thought, in particular, the composition of mathematical fairy tales. At the same time, it is important to evaluate not only the content, but also the form of presentation of the material.

To arouse interest in mathematics, to develop creative thinking, it is necessary for children to create mathematical fairy tales, which are one of the forms for the development of mathematical creativity. Learning mathematics is necessary, but thought must come from within. The success of studying a school course in mathematics depends on the means and methods of teaching. Concepts are not assimilated with due depth if the training is not built on the basis of exciting the creative activity of students.

The proposed work on the creation of mathematical fairy tales should go in parallel with certain forms of special education, supplementing it in a meaningful way. Writing math stories is not a substitute for learning. The creation of mathematical fairy tales involves not only the ability to fantasize about mathematical topics, but also the ability to speak competently, as well as a confident command of mathematical concepts. Composing mathematical fairy tales is an activity that captivates children of different ages, but in the middle classes not only opportunities increase, but also difficulties: how best to build storyline so as not to violate the integrity of the fairy tale and not come into conflict with mathematical concepts. An independently invented fairy tale with the use of mathematical concepts in the storyline allows you to remember these concepts more firmly and more fully. Carried away, children do not notice that they learn, learn and memorize the new involuntarily, that this new comes into them naturally. Therefore, the main emphasis in writing mathematical fairy tales is on a deep understanding educational information, conscious and active assimilation, the formation of schoolchildren's ability to independently and creatively apply the received educational information.

Offering to compose a mathematical fairy tale, the task is to develop mathematical creativity, the ability to express one's thoughts logically and consistently. The work of creating mathematical fairy tales is exciting, but it requires work of the head and soul. This work involves efforts not only on the part of the student, but also on the part of the teacher, who must keep up with the needs, opportunities and desires of the child.

Usually, work on the formation of the ability to compose mathematical fairy tales begins with reading a finished mathematical fairy tale. Then it is offered to those who wish to come up with their own mathematical fairy tale, explaining that the value of the work will lie in the fact that the storyline of the fairy tale includes, for example, the properties of numbers or geometric shapes. Homework to write a mathematical fairy tale is non-traditional for a mathematics lesson and therefore arouses great interest among children. Each student wants to check: will he be able to realize his creative idea, how will the teacher evaluate the fairy tale, how will his classmates react to his work? Many people undertake to write a mathematical fairy tale, but not everyone and not everyone succeeds. Students need to be reminded of the structure of a fairy tale, despite the fact that they have already studied it in literature lessons. For this, students are offered a memo: "How to compose a mathematical fairy tale."
Mathematical fairy tales are a means for the development of further mathematical creativity. They are also a means for a more solid assimilation of basic mathematical concepts. Creating mathematical fairy tales is a creative process, both for the student and for the teacher.

The goal of our upbringing is to grow up a creative person who can develop and put into practice all his abilities.

Creating fairy tales is one of the most interesting types of creativity for children, and at the same time it is an important tool mental development. If it were not for the compilation of fairy tales, then perhaps the speech of many children would be confused and confused, and their thinking would be disordered. There is a direct relationship between creative thinking and the student's vocabulary. The more the word excites the child, the more it is remembered, therefore, many fairy tales are remembered by children, as if by themselves. From such memorization, memory is not overloaded, but becomes even sharper.

Story, poetry...

Seemingly,fairy tale and mathematicsconcepts are incompatible. Bright fabulous image and dry abstract thought! But fairy-tale problems increase interest in mathematics. This is very important for students with disabilities.

Tales are needed. In the classroom, extracurricular activities where there is a fairy tale, a good mood always reigns, and this is the key to productive work. The story banishes boredom. Thanks to the fairy tale, humor, fantasy, fiction, and creativity are present at various events. Most importantly, students learn math.

Project.

Project type : interdisciplinary, creative.

Project Goals :

involve each participant in an active cognitive process of a creative nature, in different kinds creative activity;

develop the ability to design their activities;

develop a steady interest in the book - a source of knowledge, the ability to work independently with additional literature, broaden horizons, increase erudition;

develop fantasy, imagination, the ability to synthesize the collected material and choose the necessary one;

to cultivate the ability for mutual understanding, interest in the creative efforts of comrades, as well as personal responsibility for the performance of collective work;

develop presentation skills, i.e. the ability to present one's work to others;

to involve family members in school life (the formation of social activity).

Hypotheses:

A fabulous creative game approach interferes with the assimilation of mathematical formulas, rules and laws; it is not acceptable in mathematics lessons.

A fabulous creative game approach contributes to the assimilation of mathematical formulas, rules and laws, develops the necessary skills in students.

Tasks: get acquainted with the rules and a special plan for composing a mathematical fairy tale.

Product: collection of essays on the topic.

Age of project participants: students in grades 5-9.

Actions:

Familiarize yourself with written mathematical fairy tales. Determine the theme of your story.

Formulate the main idea of ​​the future fairy tale, determine for what purpose you will write it and what it should teach listeners.

Build a story according to the scheme (see the memo), pick up drawings from the Internet or make drawings yourself.

Get advice from a teacher.

Involve your family members in the upcoming work (optional).

Write an essay and print it out on your computer.

Submit to the exhibition. Summarize activities. Discuss what worked well and what didn't. What kind of work did you like?

Conclusion.

Karl Weierstrass argued that "one cannot be a mathematician without being at the same time a poet at heart".

Our research showed that “a person cannot understand the world around him only with the logic of the brain, he must feel it with the logic of the heart, that is, with emotion,” as S.V. samples. It is not enough just to put knowledge into the soul of a student, they must be strengthened in it, so that knowledge remains for life.

Fairy tales in mathematics allow you to do this. When students wrote their fairy tales, they applied their knowledge gained in mathematics lessons. When a teacher tells some rule also in a rhymed version, it is easier to remember. The work includes not only logical, but also creative thinking.

So, based on everything stated in our work, we come to the conclusion that the second hypothesis has been confirmed, that a fabulous creative game approach contributes to the assimilation of mathematical formulas, rules and laws, develops the necessary skills in students.

Memo: "How to compose a mathematical fairy tale."

A fairy tale is the same story, only all the events in it are fabulous, magical. Therefore, to compose any fairy tale, you need to use certain regulations and special plan.

The first thing to do is to define topic, that is, what our fairy tale will be about.

Second, be sure to formulate main idea future story, that is, for what, with what purpose you write it, what is it must teach listeners.

And the third is to directly build a story according to the following scheme:

Exposure (who, where, when, what did)

The plot of the action (how it all began)

Development of action

Climax (most important points)

Decline in action

Decoupling (how it all ended)

ending

Where to begin? You can start the tale with "Once upon a time ..." or "Once upon a time ...". You can start with a description of the main character or a description of the place where the events take place.

The work of writing a mathematical fairy tale begins with the choice of its characters and plot. In it, the actors will be mathematical concepts(point, line, numbers, numbers, signs, various geometric shapes ...).

A fairy-tale character should come up with a special fairy-tale name. And do not forget to tell at least a little about his character. And about his appearance. It is very important to worry about your main character, to sympathize with him.

In addition to the main character, there will be other characters. It's good to take care of them too. How do they look? What are their internal features? There may be such that they have nothing to sympathize with, but it is still necessary to describe.

The most important thing is that the fairy tale has the main idea related to the rules of mathematics. "A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, a lesson for good fellows."

"The World of Geometric Shapes"

Lived - there were geometric figures. In the world of geometric figures, the triangle was king. Once all the inhabitants of the world of geometric figures gathered and decided to measure their strength.

The best of the best representatives of this world participated in the competition: a triangle, a square and a circle. The triangle was the first to show its strength. No matter how heavy he lifted, he still remained in his form: in the form of a triangle.

The second participant in the competition was a square. He tried very hard to show himself strong and hardy, but could not remain a square under the influence of various weights. Now it turned into a rectangle, then into a parallelogram, then into a rhombus. The square had to admit that he lost and the triangle was stronger than him.

The third participated in the competition circle. He also tried his best, but when lifting various weights, he always turned into an oval. After numerous attempts, the circle admitted defeat.

Everyone unanimously decided that in a fair competition, the triangle becomes the winner: the strongest, hardiest, durable of all geometric shapes. After all, it is no coincidence that a triangle is considered a rigid figure. No wonder he was chosen as the king in the world of geometric shapes!

"Important shot"

Once upon a time there was a Fraction and she had servants: a numerator and a denominator. The fraction helped them as best it could, and they lived in peace and harmony.

One day, Fraction decided it was time to show everyone that she was special and important in the world of mathematics.

I am the most important! What would you do without me? she told them.

She especially liked to scold the denominator. And the more she scolded him, the less he became.

First, the Fraction became as big as a table, then as a house, and finally as a globe.

When the denominator became completely invisible, the Fraction took up the numerator, deciding that everything was under its control.

And he, too, turned into a speck of dust. Once the Fraction was huge and important, but now it has become very small and inconspicuous. This made her very sad, and she thought about what she had done, deciding not to scold anyone again, as it backfired on such an important person.

The numerator and denominator told the Fraction that its value depends directly on them and there is no need to quarrel.

You can rise and become invisible thanks to us! they said to Droby.

In the world of mathematics, there are concepts that are closely related! You have to be very careful about your actions.

"Tale of Zero".

The boy Vasya was in the third grade. One day he had an amazing dream: he was in the land of numbers.

The figures in this country played, had fun, like ordinary children. The boy began to play with them. Vasya had a lot of fun. He noticed that the number zero was sitting on the sidelines and was bored. The boy approached him and asked why he did not play with other numbers.

And zero said that other figures do not want to be friends with him. They say he means nothing. Vasya felt sorry for him. The boy at school had only fives, and he knew that zero in mathematics is very important. Vasya decided to make everyone friends with the number zero.

He went up to the number nine and asked to take the zero into the game, but she only laughed in response. And so it was with all the other figures. Everyone refused to be friends with zero and considered Vasya's request strange.

When the boy was completely desperate, he thought about one. It is also a very small number and means almost nothing. The unit thought and agreed.

When all the other numbers saw together one and zero, they were very surprised. It turned out that such small numbers together made up the number ten, which is greater than any one-digit figure taken separately.

And now everyone wanted to be friends with zero. The figures promised Vasya that they would never offend zero again.

Mathematical fairy tale

"Who's favorite?"

Once upon a time there was a Queen - mathematics. There were many houses in her kingdom. Houses with numbers, signs, figures, fractions, formulas.

Once Mathematics brought numbers a beautiful blanket. When they went to bed, each figure began to pull the blanket more on itself, for some reason thinking that this was a gift for her.

There was a big quarrel. Number 2 and 5 quarreled among themselves.

All the students love me, but you don't! - said 5.

But I am beautiful and look like a swan, - answered 2.

The numbers 1,4,7 called the numbers 3,6,8,9 fat, and the poor 0 sat in the corner and cried.

When the Queen of Mathematics came in the morning, all the numbers ran up to her asking who she loved more.

everyone. The Queen smiled and kissed everyone. explained that

loves everyone equally.

Each of you is beautiful and useful in your own way. All together you are a force. Treat others the way you would like others to treat you! - said the great Queen Mathematics.

The figures calmed down, embraced. They realized that they had to go through life together. This was useful lesson for the inhabitants of the entire mathematical realm.

"How the numbers 1 and 2 quarreled"

Lived - there were figures in a fairy tale0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 .

Once a figure1 quarreled with the number2 .

The unit called other numbers for help,

who began to persuade1 and2 reconcile.

They said that in mathematics, numbers are friendly

and are necessary for writing different numbers and examples.

Signs "+», «-», «×», «:» decided to help the numbers1 and2 .

Together they made examples:

1 + 2 = 3, 2 - 1 = 1, 2 × 1 = 2, 2: 1 = 2.

Numbers 1 and 2 understood that there was no need to quarrel,

because in mathematics everyone is needed and important

without exception numbers and numbers.

"Plus and minus in the digital city".

One fine afternoon, Plus was walking around the digital city. Suddenly he met another sign and looked at it strangely.

What is a stranger calling you? Plus asked.

My name is Minus. What's your name?

My name is Plus.

The signs decided to get to know each other better and measure their strength. They called the numbers 2 and 5 for help. The signs came up with a competition to compose examples so that the result would be a larger number.

“Plus” made his example: 2 + 5 = 7, and “Minus” got: 5 - 2 = 3. “Minus” was dissatisfied with the result and suggested finding other numbers for examples.

For a long time there were signs in the digital city, but nothing has changed in the competition of signs. "Plus" always got more, and "Minus" - less. Because "Plus" increases, and "Minus" decreases.

"Tale of Zero"

Somehow, in a small country of numbers, single-digit numbers gathered and began to argue which of them is more important:

Although I am alone, I always come first, says the proud number 1.

And although not the first, but for the student - a pleasant assessment, - says the favorite number 5.

And you, zero, what do you mean? Don't you mean anything? - asks the harmful number 8.

Nothing, nothing! the numbers screamed.

I may not mean anything, but if I stand near any number, I will increase it 10 times. What kind of nichevka am I? - zero offended by the number 8.

Since then, they began to respect zero and began to invite them to visit them in order to increase their number, goodness, wealth by 10 times.

And they began to live, live, and make good.

Mathematical fairy tale"Friendship of Figures"

Once upon a time there were a circle, a square and a triangle in a geometric country. They were friends and never fought. Very often they got together and created different figures, objects.

Here's what they did: they made a ball from a circle, the sides of the cube made up their squares. The house was made up of squares and a circle, and the roof of the house was made of a triangle. Draw a snowman from the circles.

Friends liked this joint work, and they decided to get together more often to make other drawings. As a result, they got a wide variety of drawings, consisting of geometric shapes: a train, a rocket, a helicopter.

The more friends used geometric shapes, the more different drawings they got. Because these figures were true friends.

"A game " Three figures "in math country"

Once upon a time there were geometric figures in a mathematical country - a triangle, a square, a circle and numbers - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0. They loved to play together. Especially geometric figures liked the game "Three figures ».

One day, all the inhabitants of a mathematical country gathered for a game. Geometric figures played against numbers.

Triangle, square and circle could always make a pattern of three shapes. Different variants of drawings were obtained: a house, a snowman, a pyramid or a car, a little man, a rocket or an airplane, a submarine, a tower.

No matter how hard the numbers tried, they could not make a new figure or new drawing. At the end of the game, the points were calculated and it turned out that the figures won with a score of "3: 0".

The numbers are a little off. The inhabitants of the mathematical country decided that this game is interesting, and it is suitable only for geometric shapes.

In one wonderful country they lived, but the numbers did not grieve. They had a queen" Mathematics" . She rules honestly and fairly.

And then one day robbers attacked this country" X" and"U".

The whole camp of figures gathered for battle. BUT1, 2 and3 thought that the country of numbers would lose and hid. Came signs«<» and«>» . They began to argue who is stronger, the country of numbers or the robbers. Sign«>» says that the robbers are stronger, and the sign«<» believes that the country of numbers is stronger. They can't decide who is stronger.

And so the battle began. Numbers5, 6, 7, 8 and9 tried very hard to win. Signs«+» will increase«─» will reduce«:» share, and«×» multiply. Yes, they just can't do anything. After all"X" and "U" - unknown. How to defeat them?

Soon the inhabitants of the mathematical country solved the equation and found out what numbers are hidden under the mask."X" and"U". The numbers won.

"Land of Round Numbers"

Once upon a time, in a mathematical state, there lived a king and a queen. The king was called "100" and the queen was "200".

They had two children. The daughters were given the name "300", and the son - "400". They lived together and happily.

The royal family also had fabulous animals. The horse had the nickname "500", the pony - "600", the pig - "700", the goat - "800", the ram - "900". They lived together amicably, happily and did not quarrel with each other. Because it was the state of the "Round Hundreds".

And the neighboring states had the title of "Round Thousands", "Round Tens of Thousands", etc.

All these countries were on the land of "Round Numbers" and lived in peace and harmony. Because every year the number of countries increased, and the "Land of Round Numbers" flourished.

Preschool mathematics is an important component of developmental activities with children aged 3–7 years. Before the start of school life, kids have a lot to learn and learn a lot: get acquainted with colors, shapes and sizes, learn numbers, master counting and solving simple examples of addition and subtraction ...

To make teaching mathematics effective and fun, use a variety of pedagogical techniques: didactic games, manuals, graphic tasks. Fascinating mathematical fairy tales for preschoolers will be a good helper for you.

The concept and types of mathematical fairy tales for children

A fairy tale is the same integral attribute of childhood as a game. Folk, author's, own composition - they help through miracle and magic to give kids the first life lessons: to teach children friendship, kindness,. The story entertains, educates and educates! And a vivid confirmation of this is mathematical fairy tales for preschoolers.

Fairy tales with mathematical content help to form elementary mathematical concepts in children, introduce them to basic mathematical concepts, stimulate their cognitive activity and develop logical thinking, teach them to reason and draw conclusions based on the information received.

Depending on the goals pursued, mathematical fairy tales can be divided into three categories:

• Conceptual. They introduce the child to the concepts and terms of the queen of sciences.
• Digital. A reliable help at the stage of mastering numbers and numbers by the little one.
• Geometric. They help to present the baby with a variety of geometric shapes.

Of course, complex fairy tale narratives are widely used, when all three categories are organically intertwined in the plot.

The characters of mathematical fairy tales can be ordinary boys and girls (for example, pupils of a kindergarten group), famous fairy tale characters (Cipollino, Thumbelina, Moidodyr, etc.), new characters or mathematical objects - numbers and figures.

Many well-known fairy tales can be attributed to mathematical ones. For example:

• "Kolobok". To kids, we present the main character as a circle, and older children should already be explained how a circle differs from a ball.
• "Turnip". One grandfather did not cope with the harvest. A woman came to the rescue, but both of them could not. How many heroes gathered to pull out the turnip?
• "The wolf and the seven Young goats". How many kids did mom have? How many did the gray wolf eat? How many kids did the mother goat see when she returned home?

Fairytale plots are often used in the context of mathematical problems: For example:

« Dwarf Vasya has grown 10 tulips in his garden. He picked 5 tulips for a bouquet for his mother, and three more for a bouquet for his grandmother. How many tulips are left in the gnome's garden?»

General requirements for mathematical fairy tales for preschoolers

You can include elements of a fairy tale in math classes with a child in a variety of ways. But, of course, do not forget to take into account the age, interests and abilities of the baby.

In order for a mathematical fairy tale to captivate a child and help you achieve your educational and educational goals, follow these recommendations:

1. Don't drag out the story. Do not forget that even at 6–7 years old, children are able to hold their attention on one object for no more than 20–25 minutes, and if the child is restless and very active, then even less.
2. Even a teaching fairy tale should remain a fairy tale. A fascinating dynamic plot with elements of magic are its mandatory attributes.
3. Make sure that the characters of the fairy tale are attractive and understandable for the child. It is desirable that the baby could associate himself with one of them.
4. Kindness and friendship will surely overcome all difficulties. If the plot provides for a negative character, by the end of the story he will certainly be re-educated.
5. The tale should have a moral, which should be discussed with the little one at the end of the story.

Do not be afraid to experiment by connecting pedagogical creativity and combining various didactic techniques:

• tell the child a mathematical fairy tale;
• discuss it together;
• let the kid create colorful illustrations on his own or with your help;
• arrange a home performance based on a mathematical fairy tale.

So you will not only achieve the maximum learning effect, but also make your developmental activities truly interesting for the little one.

Mathematical fairy tale "Pies for Grandma"

Mom Bunny baked 7 large pies with cabbage and carrots.

- 2 pies, - she said to Papa Hare, - we will eat for dinner. We will have 1 pie for breakfast. I'll wrap 2 more pies for you at work. There are 2 more pies left. Let the Hare take them to their grandmother at the hotel.

Zaychikha put pies in wicker baskets. She covered them with a towel. And she handed the burden to the Bunnies Vanechka and Manechka.

- Take, - he says, - pies to your grandmother. Come back home as soon as possible. We'll sit down for dinner.

Grandma's house was right next to the lake. The path to it lay through the field. But Vanechka did not want to ride there. Too hot. So he went around. Through the forest.

Vanya comes to her grandmother, and Manechka is already sitting there, waiting for him.

Vanechka was surprised:

- How did you come before me? I ran like that! I jumped with all my might!

- And all because, - Manechka answered him, - that you did not want to go along the short path. Your path is longer, so you walked along it longer than me.

The Bunnies laid out their pies, said goodbye to their beloved grandmother and galloped home as soon as possible, until the mother Zaichiha began to worry. This time, of course, on a short road. To faster!
