Abstract

Interest is a main factor for elementary student in learning mathematics. Based on theories of mental mode, tactic and implicit knowledge, blended with features of animation resources, this paper found that animation as a bridge between abstract mathematics knowledge and elementary mental models help them learn knowledge, and described relationships among them. The authors found animations would be fit for elementary students´ mental model, and be helpful to improve elementary learning interest.
