With such a poor level of mathematics, there are bound to be many mistakes and mistakes in daily life. For example, if a supermarket in Britain offers a discount, one pound of goods will become 2.2 pounds after the discount. This obvious calculation error has not been discovered by many consumers. For example, small vendors selling things on the street often give buyers more money, even once or twice, but it will become a big loss after a long time. For this reason, Britain has also done statistics, and the annual loss caused by mathematical calculation errors is as high as 20 billion pounds. This astronomical figure is also shocking.
As for the English people's general mathematics level is only the level of primary school students, this is because of the following reasons. The first and most important reason is that all students in Britain suffer from it? Math anxiety disorder? . This doesn't seem to be a disease, but more like a mental illness. Before learning mathematics, imagining mathematics is as terrible as the devil and as difficult as climbing to heaven. This leads to their lack of confidence and courage in learning mathematics, and naturally they can't learn this subject well.
In addition, the concept of mathematics education in Britain is quite different from that in China. British people pay more attention to learning thinking and thinking in mathematics, so the basic knowledge of mathematics is not solid, while China students are required to recite the formula of 99 multiplication skillfully from the first grade of primary school, which has already been memorized by heart.
