Education problem
In fact, in their education, after learning the basics of mathematics, others are self-taught or elective.
Therefore, after they have studied mathematics for several grades, the foundation they may learn is the foundation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in our kindergarten.
For example, elementary schools in China basically learn multiplication, or fractions, in elementary school. But British primary schools don't talk about these things in such depth. They just talk about some basic things. In fact, their mathematical thinking ability is not bad, but actually their arithmetic ability, because they are not particularly familiar with the 99 multiplication table, which is so magical, but in recent years, they have also begun to recite the 99 multiplication table in Britain.
Different uses
It can be said that China people's mathematics is better than that of the British when doing problems or calculating, but in application, in the application of life, China's mathematics may be more theoretical, and the application is not so good, because the most basic thing of good mathematics is to promote the development of economy and science and technology, but their English mathematics competition is different from ours, and they pay more attention to practicality. It can be said that there are basically urban mathematics competitions and regional competitions in primary and secondary schools in Britain, but we don't have them in China, so their mathematical calculation ability is not as good as ours, but they are actually better than us in some aspects, such as the direction of thinking and the application of thinking ability in mathematics.
Pay attention to different things
Although we say that we only know one conclusion by memorizing all the multiplication tables and the like, in English mathematics, they actually study how to reach such a conclusion. They learn the principles of multiplication and division.
abstract
Generally speaking, their computing ability is not as good as ours, but their principles, methods and theories are better than ours. But when we buy clothes and sell clothes in our life, we may use more computing power, and we in China will have strong computing power. So we will have a feeling that English mathematics is not as good as our China, or that English mathematics is really poor, but I personally feel otherwise, mainly depending on how you understand and think.
But in any case, China can recite the multiplication table, work out the multiplication table, and his mental arithmetic ability, which is simply a godlike existence. I watched TV the other day and saw that all the children were using abacus. Then they gave the answer before I understood the figures. I was really shocked.
