When I was eating, I heard from team leader Wang that the school bought a batch of high-quality books, which is a wonderful thing for a person who loves to soak in books! It made my heart itch at noon, and I followed the librarian to ask questions as soon as I went to work in the afternoon. The manager couldn't tell exactly which books there were. Just a stroke. Let me find it in a corner by myself. I don't care so much, so I squatted down and looked for them one by one. Looking around, there are all theoretical books, which look a bit abstruse. Suddenly my eyes lit up. A book that looks too special when mixed with reality. Look at that book called interesting mathematics.
More interesting than the title is its cover, which is super eye-catching. If you see it, you will be amazed at the boldness and loveliness of the design. It is interesting to introduce the title of a book with a little boy and a kitten sticking out their long tongues. The inside page of the book is printed with the words best seller in Korea. So why is this book so popular in Korea? I started reading this book with a thoughtful heart. It took three days to read it. Until now, I am still immersed in the story in the book. Let me personally feel that mathematics is not so boring and monotonous, but also full of poetry and painting. Dr. Li combines ancient and modern, magnificent and exquisite mathematical principles with jokes and humor, and interprets mathematical knowledge in an interesting way in the form of pictures and texts. The purpose of Dr. Li's writing this book is to develop people's mathematical quality, popularize mathematical knowledge to the general public and show the charm and beauty of mathematics.
This book first introduces the development of oriental mathematics, then introduces four female mathematicians, then introduces modern great mathematicians, and the second half introduces various interesting mathematical problems. For primary school students, reading such books is somewhat abstruse, but we can tell children some interesting and easy-to-understand stories.
Chapter two: Reflections on Mathematics Reading.
When I was eating, I heard from team leader Wang that the school bought a batch of high-quality books, which is a wonderful thing for a person who loves to soak in books! It made my heart itch at noon, and I followed the librarian to ask questions as soon as I went to work in the afternoon. The manager couldn't tell exactly which books there were. Just a stroke. Let me find it in a corner by myself. I don't care so much, so I squatted down and looked for them one by one. Looking around, there are all theoretical books, which look a bit abstruse. Suddenly my eyes lit up. A book that looks too special when mixed with reality. Look at that book called interesting mathematics. More interesting than the title is its cover, which is super eye-catching. If you see it, you will be amazed at the boldness and loveliness of the design. It is interesting to introduce the title of a book with a little boy and a kitten sticking out their long tongues. The inside page of the book is printed with the words best seller in Korea. So why is this book so popular in Korea? I started reading this book with a thoughtful heart. It took three days to read it. Until now, I am still immersed in the story in the book. Let me personally feel that mathematics is not so boring and monotonous, but also full of poetry and painting. Dr. Li combines ancient and modern, magnificent and exquisite mathematical principles with jokes and humor, and interprets mathematical knowledge in an interesting way in the form of pictures and texts. The purpose of Dr. Li's writing this book is to develop people's mathematical quality, popularize mathematical knowledge to the general public and show the charm and beauty of mathematics.
This book first introduces the development of oriental mathematics, then introduces four female mathematicians, then introduces modern great mathematicians, and the second half introduces various interesting mathematical problems. For primary school students, reading such books is somewhat abstruse, but we can tell children some interesting and easy-to-understand stories.
When children are tired of learning math and thinking in a fixed way, they can tell this short story in the book: there are two criminals, one is a math professor and the other is a professor's student. They were all sentenced to death for doing bad things. At that time, the law stipulated that it was possible to meet any requirements except death before punishment. The executioner first asked the professor what he wanted, and the professor said:
My last request is to give that student a math lesson.
The supervisor agreed to his request, so the supervisor asked the professor's students what they wanted. The students thought for a moment and said:
My last request is to kill me before the professor gives a lecture.
Executives also agreed to his request. Subsequently, the executive made a mistake: to answer the professor's request, he had to give the students a class first; Agree to the students' requirements and implement them before the professor attends class. In the end, neither the professor nor the students were executed.
Through such stories, we can arouse the interest of students who are tired of learning and make them feel that mathematics is everywhere, which can save lives at critical times. This shows how interesting mathematics is. It also has a certain effect on children who are not good at thinking. Mathematics is a very rigorous subject. When faced with a new problem, it is impossible to make a judgment without in-depth thinking. Guide students to learn from the little boy in the story and give themselves more time to think deeply, so as to make the right choice.
When children's thinking in class is not rigorous enough, they can tell students stories about biologists, mathematicians, computer experts and others who saw a group of zebras when they traveled to Africa, and they made different reactions. Let the students know from the story that they should not look at the problem unilaterally, but draw a conclusion on the basis of comprehensive observation and careful thinking.
Of course, there are many such stories. As a math teacher, we should tell stories to students easily in some convenient ways, make the lectures lively and interesting, improve students' thinking quality and pass on the splendid math culture. Let more children walk into the grand mathematics hall.
Through reading this book, I have a deeper understanding of mathematicians, a stronger interest in mathematical history, and a firmer determination to teach mathematics well. Just like the book says: try your best to do what you do and know what you are doing. To this end, I will teach carefully and try my best to make every class interesting. Let students learn new knowledge in a happy mood, and strive to achieve the effect of moistening things quietly.
Chapter three: Thinking about interesting mathematics.
To tell the truth, I have taught primary school mathematics for more than 20 years, and I have been dealing with those Arabic numerals day after day year after year. Sometimes I really feel that mathematics is boring, but as a teacher, in order to cultivate students' interest in learning mathematics, I always try my best to explore the interesting points of mathematics, and sometimes I really rack my brains. When I borrowed books from the principal's office before the holiday, I saw the book Interesting Mathematics (No.1 set), and I suddenly felt that my eyes were shining, so I borrowed it without hesitation. I read the book, the author is Korean, which is so strange, so I first checked the relevant information of the author on the Internet. After investigation, I realized that the author, Dr. Lee, is a famous mathematics professor in Korea, and has been committed to popularizing mathematics knowledge and showing it to the public. There are two interesting math episodes (I borrowed 1 episode), which are very popular in Korea and attract a large number of teenagers to enter the math hall. Such a tempting book must be read well.
After reading the whole book, my first feeling is that mathematics is not so boring, monotonous and boring, and it can be full of poetry and painting. As the introduction says, the content of the book "integrates ancient and modern, magnificent and exquisite mathematical principles with jokes and humor, with pictures and texts, which is full of interest". Interesting Mathematics (set 1) is interesting and simple, and anyone with any knowledge level can read it. Although it is written according to the history of mathematical development, there is no need to read it from the beginning. No matter which part you read, you can get simple math knowledge and learn math-related stories. In particular, our math teacher can quote simple math stories related to the content of the lecture, which can make students accept what they have learned more easily.
When reading What is Mathematics in this book, the first short story is: There are two criminals, one is a math professor and the other is a professor's student. Both of them committed crimes because they did bad things and were sentenced to death. At that time, the law stipulated that all requirements could be met except death. The executive first asked the professor what he wanted, and the professor said, "My last request is to give that student a math class." The supervisor agreed to his request, so the supervisor asked the professor's students what they wanted. The students thought for a moment and said:
"My last request is to kill me before the professor gives a lecture." Executives also agreed to his request. Subsequently, the executive made a mistake: if he agreed to the professor's request, he had to give the students a class first; Agree to the students' requirements and implement them before the professor attends class. In the end, neither the professor nor the students were executed.
This story can arouse the interest of students who are tired of learning, and make him feel that mathematics can save lives in times of crisis, which shows how great a subject mathematics is. At the same time, it can also guide students to understand that when facing a new problem, they should be good at thinking deeply, learn from the students taught in the story, and give themselves more time to think deeply, so as to make the right choice.
When you meet a student who likes to ask useless questions in class, you can tell him a story: a math teacher can't teach normally because a student keeps asking questions. One day, the teacher made a decision and said to the students after entering the classroom: "Every class is always influenced by you. From now on, you are only allowed to ask two questions in each class. " So the student asked, "Can I only ask two questions?" The teacher replied, "Now there is one question left." Don't preach, don't criticize, use a funny little story to make students understand that you can't ask questions in class, and ask useful questions after you think about it.
There are many such stories in the book, such as: biologists, mathematicians, computer experts and others saw a group of zebras when they traveled to Africa, and they made different reactions; Stories of different practices of engineers, physicists and mathematicians in case of fire, etc. We can all tell it to students at the right time, so that students can deeply feel the role of mathematics in life and fall in love with it.
Through reading this book, I have a deeper understanding of some important mathematicians in the history of mathematics, such as Abel and Galois, Descartes, Gauss, Thales, Pythagoras, Euler, Euclid, Newton, Fermat and so on. , and increased my extracurricular mathematics knowledge, so that I can teach mathematics better. Just like the book says, "Try your best to do what you do and know what you are doing".
