Mathematics and logic
Didactic tasks that involve mathematics are a way to entertain a child of eight or nine years old, but at the same time also strengthen his counting skills and develop his abilities in mathematics.
The simplest one might be a game where some animals or, for example, fruits are drawn in the picture, and a child of eight or nine years old will need to count them and write the number in a special window.
The educational and entertaining task will be a game in which you will need to arrange the proposed numbers in ascending order, and then in descending order. This game reinforces the concepts of more and less and trains thinking for eight- to nine-year-old children. A similar game could be a version of an educational and entertaining task where you need to count by tens in ascending and descending order.
An excellent counting task that definitely involves real mathematics would be a game in which eight- to nine-year-old children are asked to add and subtract some numbers. But the numbers will not be indicated by the usual boring numbers, but will look like the sum of stars, hearts or other figures. So a child of eight or nine years old will first need to count the figures, and only then complete the task. This will be educational mathematics that will be interesting and fun to do.

Tasks for children aged 7-8 years should be aimed at the comprehensive development of their psychological processes: memory, attention, perception, imagination and thinking.
An important task of developmental classes is also to prepare the child for complex subjects of the school curriculum (for example, mathematics, reading, etc.)
Children 7-8 years old enjoy engaging in intellectual games
Mind games
Junior school age - features

Color guessing game
You need to select several colors and use a palette to mix them together. The child’s task is to determine what colors this or that shade is made of, and then to get exactly the same one. If several people take part in the game, you can ask them to alternately create different shades of the same color. Such tasks for children aged 7-8 years also develop visual sensitivity well.
"Noisy boxes"
Goal: development of auditory perception
For this lesson you need to prepare two sets of identical boxes of six pieces each. Each of the boxes has a certain filler - it can be sand, small stones, various cereals. They are capable of making a variety of noises - from the quietest to the loudest. The child’s task is to listen to the noise of the box from the first set and match it with a similar one from the other, comparing them and offering to find a similar one. At the end of the game, each of the boxes must have its own pair.
Noise boxes can also be jars

Classes for children of primary school age 7-8 years of this type can also be complicated by consistently calling only even and then only odd numbers. This will allow children to prepare for mental arithmetic- mathematics for 7-year-old children is one of the most difficult subjects.
Toy letters and numbers help with school learning
“Where are the toys hiding?”
Goal: development of space-time concepts
For the task, toys are placed around the room. The child’s task is to first find the hidden things, and then say where they are, indicating their location relative to other pieces of furniture and using the concepts “above”, “below”, “above”, “under”, “in”, “on”.

Cards for memorizing images need to be shown for several minutes
"Count the objects"
Purpose: assignments serve to prepare the child for mastering the exact sciences (such as mathematics, computer science, etc.)
The parent shows the child an image on which a large number of different objects are drawn. The child’s task is to remember them, and then say what exactly was depicted in the picture and in what quantity.

Example: “If I painted you in a picture, you would be...”, “If I wrote you a song, it would be...”, “If you became a wizard, you would be...”.
Carousel game - for a group of children
- The development of a child at the age of 7-8 years is quite intensive. Therefore, it is very desirable that the tasks that are given to them affect not one specific function, but a whole complex (for example, attention and memory, thinking and perception). Thanks to this, even such difficult-to-understand subjects as mathematics, Russian, etc. will be much easier for the child.
- Since the child has not yet moved away from play as a leading activity, it is important to conduct classes in a relaxed environment that is as comfortable as possible for him.
Simple educational activities for children 7, 8, 9 years old that do not require special skills are very easy to do at home.
By organizing the child’s leisure time, they contribute in the best possible way to his comprehensive and comprehensive development. And school subjects - Russian language, reading, mathematics - will easily lend themselves to it in the future.

Why are logic and thinking games so important for children 9-10 years old? This is due to the peculiarities of the development of thinking in younger schoolchildren. It is at the age of 9-10 years that a qualitative change occurs in the child’s mental activity.
Visual-figurative thinking, which was the main focus of the entire previous period in children, is finally replaced by conceptual, verbal and logical thinking. Now a 9-10 year old schoolchild can already assimilate knowledge, relying not only on what he sees and feels, but also masters abstract concepts, identifying the internal connections of objects.
How quickly and completely the formation of this way of understanding the world occurs depends on how successfully your child will study in the future. If by this point children have not developed full-fledged mental activity, they will not be able to fully master school subjects and the gap in mathematics and other sciences will only accumulate.
What should parents do to help their child at this important stage? You need to play with him! Play educational games with children yourself and encourage them to independently master logic and thinking games. It trains the growing brain the same way sports trains muscles.
Graphic games to develop logic
