Our students in basic knowledge and basic skills has an advantage that the West countries trying to resolve the government's a major event, this matter of right they very Tiao Zhan. Mr. Zhu Binghong second half of 2005 received the U.S. President George W. Bush campaign adviser, a Stanford University mathematics professor, had between them a half-day exchange. In exchange, there is a funny thing, when faced 6 × 7 is equal to how many, he suddenly could not think of how much the equivalent. An internationally renowned professor of mathematics can not quickly come up with 6 × 7 results! When Chu's students to help him write a 42, he expressed his thanks. In the "McDonald's", "KFC" restaurants often foreign to students, when you buy more shares, he immediately felt helpless, not knowing how to calculate. Things like this are very common. Westerners basic reading, writing and calculation, it is too bad, especially in basic computing skills. Once, when the reporter interviewed a British Minister of State in charge of education, asked him: "7 × 8 is equal to how many?" He said: "I think this issue ... ... 7 × 8 is approximately equal to 54 bar." There are a example, a Chinese student to study in the U.S., the language has been not very satisfactory, but in math class was very good. Once math teacher looked very serious to the seventh grade students presented a challenging topic: 3 × 7 is equal to how many? Asked two students will not do, the result asked the Chinese students, he writes: "I Shenqingziruo to the podium to hand write a 21, the whole class looked at me with stunned expressions. From After a mathematical group activities if they are rushing to me. In their eyes, Chinese students math is cool! actually no calculator can calculate the 3 × 7 = 21. "and this problem, Our primary, first and second year students to solve very well, and I say this is the unique advantage of Chinese culture.
Our problem is precisely the advantage of western education
Our children's practical ability, our children's creative culture, our children's emotional concerns, and mathematics education in the life educate their children, these things are done well enough, particularly in education student as a person, a teacher at a national seminar course in teaching "pi" to study how come pi 3.14. His class is very well designed, the students divided into groups, each group has a number of different cards, a cardboard circle to do with cloth, round, round with soft paper to do. Students measure the circumference and diameter circle, look at what circumference and diameter relationship. The group obtained different data using different materials. Results of the students reported their data, we found that teachers have a choice to go to the blackboard and write data (some from the perimeter intuitively feel is little more than three times the diameter of the data), but the error was not larger not explaining to the students. Then the teacher on the blackboard for students to observe the data, to help students find the relationship between circumference and diameter to be teachers expect a smooth conclusion. This process appears to act casual teachers, gave students a message, the data is coming to a decision, "bad" data can not. This teaching will lead students to form the habit of not seeking truth from facts. Another example, in measuring angles of a triangle and, almost the whole class results are 180 °. The actual measurement can not exactly 180 °, 178 °, 179 °, 181 °, 182 ° is possible, measurement error is always there. If you require students to precisely measured 180 °, you are deliberately misleading the students modify their own data. This is a very terrible thing. Chinese students enjoy a high reputation abroad, but the most dangerous is that some Chinese students, including some teachers have been teaching the experimental data may be false.
Comment: For our advantage, must be based on a careful analysis of carry forward. First, we need to inherit and carry forward. Chinese students in the calculation of the advantage of skill development of the computer can not be completely abandoned. Americans, British people ate it up bitterness, we can not repeat the same mistakes. Numeracy skills of our students should be maintained, but needs careful analysis on a limited basis to maintain. Second, our students, particularly students calculate the time spent on too much, difficult to calculate the partial, biased fan of the content must be cut. Teachers to raise awareness and reduce the students used to calculate the time, make time for our children to enable them to learn mathematics more exciting, interesting, lively, and useful content.
