We all know beauty, but what is enlightenment?
Enlightenment? The famous "enlightenment" is to open your mind and have your own rational thinking. And our inspiration here is similar. It means that our study should not be mechanical rote memorization and imitation, let alone rote memorization and reproduction. Enlightenment should be to learn to observe and fall in love with thinking, and enlightenment should be to learn to understand and fall in love with creativity. Well, our basic education really needs an "enlightenment", that is, the unconscious interruption of the brain.
Mathematical enlightenment is not counting or memorizing multiplication tables and using them to calculate. Mathematical enlightenment is to understand the thinking process behind numbers and formulas, and mathematical enlightenment is to have an interest in the life behind numbers and formulas. The deeper we understand this kind of thinking process and integrate it with life, the more likely our mathematical brain will be really activated, and we can really go further on the road of mathematics, such as successfully walking through high school mathematics and college mathematics and learning to create a better life with mathematics.
And Yasuya Anyo's "Into the Wonderful Mathematical World" (1-3) arouses our curiosity in an accurate, interesting and imaginative way, and leads us to feel the thinking behind numbers and formulas. After reading this set of books, I have a feeling of walking into the mathematician's brain. I saw in my mind the birth process of mathematics that I was familiar with since I was a child, but I didn't really understand it. Moreover, this birth process is full of interest and imagination.
Next, let's share the first episode.
Lesson 1: "Not a group". The most fascinating thing about this series is that there is no standard answer or unique answer to many of its contents. This makes you accustomed to the test questions with reference answers, and you feel extremely free and inexplicably excited about the right and wrong brain-ah, there are more mysteries, I don't know how many mysteries there are, let me think again, think again ... This is enlightenment, which makes you fall in love with thinking.
The second attraction of this series is that among many answers, there is often one most convincing answer. This makes us find several differences, but we still can't help but compare them. Which is better? And in the process, I experienced a second brain trip.
And the whole process, let us slowly feel the proper state of learning mathematics: slowly, observe, think, compare, understand and realize. .......................................................................................................................................
I have to mention that in the first class, we can feel the characteristics of teacher Guangya's book: she expounds mathematics through various interesting models and stories, rather than blunt numbers or truths. Look, how colorful and unconstrained.
In fact, the second lesson is the best endorsement. One of them is hook and loop. Look at these pictures:
It's really amazing, isn't it I never thought I could look at a coat like this, coat = original clothes+pocket+collar; I never thought I could look at snails like this. Snail = meat+shell with wheels, haha, amazing. ......
Frankly speaking, I don't quite understand what this part is about. Is it about "combination mode"? Whether it is addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, or constantly using multiple formulas to calculate, isn't it just this magical glue that sticks simple parts together and gets wonderful new things? Still talking about the "innovation model"? A deep understanding of convention and a wanton breakthrough will bring new horizons? I'm not sure. Think again.
The third lesson, order. Teacher Guangya showed us the mathematics in life with playing cards, friends in residential buildings and seats in the theater. This made me sigh: mathematics is everywhere, observation and thinking are everywhere, and magic is everywhere ... Finally, she ended the class with a poker game called "chess". To tell you the truth, I didn't know what patch was before. Actually, I was not interested in playing cards, but I became curious after reading the book. The charm of mathematics, the charm of teachers ......
The fourth lesson "Height to Height" includes various comparisons, such as height, days, liquid, weight, sweetness, height of mountain and length of river. The teacher even asked the question of comparison ..... I also like this lesson very much: colorful things can be abstracted into mathematical comparisons, and then compared in colorful ways.
The contents of the second and third parts are equally attractive. I like the circle of numbers very much because it simply and vividly describes the birth of numbers. I prefer the incredible magic machine because it tells the magic of formulas and patterns-how much do I like magic? How much do humans like magic? Mathematics is full of magic.
Mathematics education seems to be a worldwide problem. It seems that children all over the world may have a lifelong headache for mathematics-well, I seem to be one of them. Therefore, I cherish the thoughtful creativity of Yasuyoshi Anye, and I cherish and thank her for bringing a bright light to the world of mathematics education with her beauty and imagination. Recommend it to you.
