Recently, in Jiangxi, a teacher assigned a special homework to let the children count 10000 grains of rice. After the child received this homework, the whole family went into battle together to help count until late at night. Some netizens think this is a wonderful homework, and some parents feel very dissatisfied. I don't think this is a wonderful homework.
First of all, the purpose of always doing this is to consolidate the knowledge learned that day. The teacher explained that because the article "Cao Chong Weighs Elephants" was studied in class that day, according to the content of this article, students can actually count a certain amount of rice first, and then weigh it, so that they can know the weight of 10000 grains of rice, which is equivalent to consolidating the knowledge of the day. So the teacher is actually helping the students to consolidate in another way, instead of using some rote learning methods. In fact, the teacher is very attentive.
Secondly, he also wants to exercise students' thinking mode, hoping to let children learn to be flexible and flexible. On the other hand, the teacher thinks that students should be able to learn this mode of thinking according to the content when they study this article that day, but I didn't expect some students to really go back to count meters. In this way, he wants children to learn how to use it flexibly, learn to be flexible, and learn to apply the knowledge in books to practice and really apply it to life. In fact, the teacher is really well-intentioned. Many teachers can't think of this method at all. They only know that letting children do some homework in books is actually not conducive to their mastery and application of knowledge.
This tells us that no matter what we do, we should think about how to do it, not do it without thinking. This is my view on this so-called wonderful homework.
