He once said in a lecture that if China's education continues to develop like this, it will go back at least 20 years.
Although this sentence is really sharp, it is also true. Many people think this is alarmist, but Qiu Chengtong has his own unique views.
The professor thinks that modern mathematics in China pays too much attention to "archaeology" and is not very familiar with the whole trend. It is always in a state of complacency.
We can't deny that great achievements have been made in ancient mathematics in China, but the mathematics education at that time was not perfect, which led to a high ceiling. However, if mathematics is solved in the previous way, it is difficult for children to make great progress in mathematics.
If you want to change this situation, it is best to start from an early age and start from the basics, so that children are no longer mathematical dolls who can only calculate.
As Ren said: In the past 30 years, Huawei's real breakthrough is mathematics and mobile phone system equipment centered on mathematics.
Although this sentence refers to the development of his company, we can still see the importance of mathematics. In such a big environment, what we should do well is children's mathematics enlightenment.
I have several suggestions about children's mathematics enlightenment:
First, let the numbers move.
We need to relate the figures. Let children know that numbers are not just black spots on paper, but can be applied to life.
For example, three apples are three, and five sweets are five.
Let children understand that numbers can be read and recognized. As the most basic unit in mathematics, it can be combined at will and used incisively and vividly.
Second, let mathematics live.
Let mathematics come alive, let children learn mathematics in games, don't think mathematics is a boring or tiring subject, it can also be very interesting.
In fact, as a mathematical enlightenment, it is a very important means to make mathematics alive, arouse children's interest in mathematics, and let children have some fun in mathematics in the future, rather than just being a problem-solving machine.
Third, make life full of mathematics.
At the time of mathematics enlightenment, many things are learned but useless, which is actually equal to learning in vain. We can learn very little when we are enlightened in mathematics, but we can certainly understand it thoroughly. Starting from the reality of life, such as learning how to settle accounts, is actually the best calculation enlightenment.
Regarding the mathematics enlightenment, I recommend the nine-chapter arithmetic book "Children's Mathematical Game Power k2", which is a mathematics enlightenment game book specially for 2 to 4 years old.
Through scientific enlightenment methods and vivid plot presentation, he can not only challenge classic and interesting math games, but also learn while playing, so that children can be in the joy of mathematics.
Its author, Li Jianhua, is the vice president of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Beijing Normal University. There are four volumes in this set of books. Calculate how many, dyeing the edges, dyeing the dots and crossing the bridge.
One of the most famous is the problem of "Seven Bridges in Konigsberg", which allows children to experience the wonders of mathematics. This is not only a mathematical skill, but also a kind of thinking training to help children improve their problem-solving ability. There are some classic coloring games that can help children understand quantity.
There are 20 small tasks to cross the bridge and 80 small tasks to understand the sequence of natural numbers in "Children's Mathematics Game k2", so that children can realize the enlightenment of mathematics through the combination of numbers and numbers, and the combination of numbers and shapes.
In addition, older students can choose the book "In fact, mathematics is very interesting". This book is for children aged seven to 12. It is the purpose of this book to make children fall in love with mathematics like playing games.
Children know that mathematics is not only addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but also interesting. Such vivid pictures and words in the book correspond to each other, combining mathematics and games so that they do not conflict and can collide with each other.
Let children avoid textbooks or everyone's review questions, do not have to calculate repeatedly, think, judge and challenge in games with clever design and strong interest, and gradually establish mathematical logical thinking.
In fact, mathematics is fun, and each volume contains more than 100 mathematical game questions, such as the activities of planting flowers, trees and vegetables in spring combined with the mathematical model of four operations of logical reasoning.
