Winter vacation homework is the homework assigned by the teacher to the students during the winter vacation. Because it takes a long time, it usually needs a large amount. There are two or three classes in primary school (Chinese, math and English) and seven or eight classes in middle school (Chinese, math, English, history and politics, geography and biology in seventh and eighth grades, physics in eighth and ninth grades and chemistry in ninth grade).

Winter vacation homework has a new definition in recent years, and a few schools have carried out high-quality practical activities to turn winter vacation homework into activities and enrich students' after-school life. However, most homework is usually presented in writing.

The new situation in winter vacation homework

A few schools have carried out high-quality practical activities to turn winter vacation homework into activities and enrich students' after-school life. Generally speaking, winter vacation homework aims to enrich students' after-school life during the long vacation, review what they have learned in the past semester in time, consolidate and improve their knowledge, and make a good connection for the learning content of the next semester.

Zhang Zhiyong, deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Education, personally wrote an article about the "winter vacation homework" which advocated homework innovation. He hopes that homework reform will become an important part of curriculum teaching reform, and advocates innovative homework with characteristics, rather than denying knowledge-based comprehensive homework in various disciplines.
