American elementary school mathematics (set of 6 volumes) (Volume 1-4): This set of American mathematics textbooks presented to you is a classic textbook that has been popular in the West for nearly half a century and is still in use today. Editor Joseph? Professor Rey, 1807 was born in Ohio County, Virginia, USA. He was educated in a local school since childhood with excellent results. /kloc-started teaching at the age of 0/6. /kloc-at the age of 0/8, Rey came to Franklin College to follow Joel? Professor Martin studied medicine and then went to Ohio Medical College. After graduating from college, he taught mathematics at Woodward Middle School in Cincinnati. 1836, Woodward Middle School was upgraded from high school to Cincinnati Wood College, where Rey became a professor. 185 1 year, the school became a public high school again, and Rey served as the principal here until his death. Ray's outstanding achievements in his life are his series of mathematics textbooks, which he is famous for. This set of math textbooks is similar to his colleague William at Wood College. The American Language Reader compiled by McGaffey has been used as a teaching material by nearly ten thousand schools in the United States at the same time, with a cumulative sales volume of more than 65.438+0.22 billion copies, which has had a great impact on the education of several generations of Americans. Until today, these two sets of books are still regarded as recommended textbooks for American homeschooling education and reference books for American students to prepare for the SAT.

Compared with other math books, Rey's math textbooks have at least the following obvious characteristics:

First, emphasize mastering "number" in "learning". For example, elementary mathematics is not divided into four volumes according to the difficulty, but according to the practical application scope: elementary arithmetic, intellectual arithmetic, practical arithmetic and advanced arithmetic. Let students extend from the cognition of logarithm and the mastery of arithmetic rules to the wide application of mathematics in real life, such as shopping, bookkeeping, deposit and interest. And transition to a higher academic level.

Secondly, the mathematical problems are integrated into the application problems. Even the simplest addition and subtraction operations are presented by telling stories. In this way, when children learn mathematics, they can not only train their mathematical thinking, but also improve their language ability simultaneously.

Third, concretize abstract thinking. Most of the math problems in the book are expressed in combination with real things, so that children can understand how the math they have learned is applied in real life. This is especially helpful for junior students, who can understand mathematical concepts that are too abstract for their age more quickly and clearly.

Fourth, integrate the knowledge of different disciplines into mathematical problems. This writing method can help students master mathematical science from different fields of mathematical application, and help them step into more complex fields of mathematical application from elementary mathematics, such as geometry and accounting. Children can accept other subjects while studying mathematics. For example, there is a question in the book: "General Washington was born in A.D. 1732, and he lived to the age of 67, so in which year did he die?" Such a simple calculation problem will combine historical knowledge with mathematics, and serve multiple purposes.

For children in China, this set of math textbooks can not only teach children to learn math, but also be a good way to learn English, so that they can learn English in a different way. Compared with reading literature books, this is a different feeling and may stimulate children's interest in learning English. Mathematics has a fixed lexical meaning and is easy to understand and remember. Children can improve their English while solving problems, killing two birds with one stone. For those students who are going to take an English test abroad in the future, this set of books is of greater significance and should be of great help to their future study.

Finally, it is necessary to explain to readers that this set of books involves too many numbers and mathematical symbols, considering that there will be some inevitable mistakes in re-entering typesetting, which will bring great inconvenience to readers. Therefore, we used the method of photocopying the original to ensure the high accuracy of the content, but the clarity of the text is slightly flawed compared with the duplicate, please forgive me.

I sincerely wish all children in the world happy growth and look forward to your valuable comments and suggestions.
