Bajie went to Huaguoshan to find Wukong, but the Great Sage was not at home. The little monkeys warmly entertained Bajie and picked 100 of the most delicious peaches in the mountains. Bajie said happily, "Let's eat together!" How to eat? Counting ***30 monkeys, Bajie found a branch and drew it on the ground, and listed the formula, 100 ÷ 30 = 3... 1.

Pig Bajie pointed to the top three and said generously, "You can eat three peaches each. Look, the rest 1 I ate it! " The little monkeys were very grateful to Bajie. They thanked him one by one, and then each took his share.

When Wukong came back, the little monkeys told Wukong how generous Bajie was today and why he only ate a pecan. Seeing Pig's arrangement, Wukong shouted, "What a fool! I'll find him! "

Haha, do you know how many peaches Bajie ate?

The origin of Arabic numerals

Xiaoming is a child who likes to ask questions. One day, he became interested in the numbers 0-9: Why is it called "Arabic numerals"? So he went to ask his mother, "Since 0-9 is called Arabic numerals, it must have been invented by Arabs, mom?"

Mom shook her head and said, "Arabic numerals were actually invented by Indians." About 1500 years ago, Indians used a special word to represent numbers. There are 10 words, and you can write both strokes. Later, these figures were introduced into Arabia. Arabs think these numbers are simple and practical, so they are widely used in their own countries and spread to Europe. In this way, it gradually became the number we use today. Because Arabs have played a great role in spreading these numbers, people are used to calling them' Arabic numbers'. "

Xiao Ming heard this and said, "So that's it. Mom, can this be called' making a mistake'? " Mom smiled.

Children's song competition

The animal school held a children's song competition, with the elephant teacher as the referee.

The little monkey raised his hand first and began to recite: "I can calculate carry addition, and the digits can only be added if they are aligned." The number of digits should be aligned with the number of digits. When the number of digits exceeds ten, the number of digits should be advanced to ten. Add ten and one to count quickly and accurately. "

As soon as the little monkey finished speaking, the puppy began to recite again: "abdication and subtraction are not difficult, just align the numbers." If the single digits are small enough, ten people can borrow one. If ten people return, one will be ten, and if they return, one will be missing. How to reduce ten digits, ten digits will be reduced again and again. "

Everyone applauded their wonderful performance. Teacher Elephant said, "Their nursery rhymes make us understand that both carry addition and abdication subtraction should win the championship, ok?" Everyone agrees and applauds them.
