American mathematics is so poor.
It is well known that American primary school students are poor at math. When our students in China have easily worked out mathematical equations, American primary school students may not even know the most basic addition and subtraction. But even so, why did Americans win so many Nobel Prizes? This is related to their educational model.

First of all, America is interested in education. The so-called interest education means teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and respecting everyone's individual differences. Once children are found to be interested and talented in music, they are encouraged to learn music; If you are interested in physics and mathematics, you should go there for further study. Therefore, they will not put forward the same academic requirements for every child. If the child has a special talent, the school will make an exception and admit him. Such children will have an in-depth understanding of a certain major and will not be distracted to conduct in-depth research, instead of dabbling in every field, so naturally more outstanding professionals can be trained.

Second, American mathematics education pays more attention to logical analysis, that is, they pay more attention to cultivating children to know what this formula is. How did you get it? , not? How to do the problem? . In the American math exam, the result is not important, what is more important is to clarify the thinking process drawn from this result. The derivation of formulas and the understanding of related formulas are the focus of their lectures, and our country may pay more attention to how to apply them in the questions. All professionals trained under such education have the desire to explore the essence of things, and it is easier to find problems and solve them.

Of course, China's education development has been constantly improving and has made considerable achievements. To a certain extent, the current education model is more suitable for China's national conditions. Although many people approve of American education, they also hope that education in our country can be more liberalized. However, China's education is not without its merits, and foreign educational models may not be suitable for us.
