Chapter 15 Mathematics Lessons
After the first Chinese class, Lin Ping was overwhelmed with a smug smile on his face. Looking at the five children in front of him, it seemed as if he saw five future "college entrance examination top scorers".
During the fifteen minutes of the break, five students also surrounded Lin Ping and asked this and that, not giving Lin Ping some rest time, but Lin Ping did not complain, but enjoyed it.
The second math class is also very good. Although the students have poor foundations, the content is simple, Lin Ping’s detailed lectures and can learn from one example and learn from one example. The students quickly mastered the knowledge of this class.
When Lin Ping was teaching mathematics classes, he did not focus on the effect of this class, but on cultivating the mathematical thinking of these children. Many children have always been poor in mathematics, or in elementary school mathematics, and junior high school mathematics is OK, but when they get to high school, they get stuck. Why? It is because of the lack of mathematical thinking.
Mathematics subjects are the basis of the entire mathematics, physics, chemistry and science and engineering learning. They include transformative thinking, divergent thinking, reverse thinking and logical thinking, etc., which require rigorous, meticulous and rationality. Why do you say that "you are not afraid of learning mathematics, physics, and chemistry well and travel all over the world"? This is not only about the status of mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge in today's society, but also about the importance of "mathematical thinking" cultivated in the process of learning mathematics, physics and chemistry well.
One feature of mathematics subjects is "skill". "Very miracles" are difficult to work in mathematics subjects.
Even the tactic of a sea of questions is just to strengthen students' brains' understanding of mathematical thinking through continuous training. However, simply doing questions but lacking the awareness of thinking and "learning from one example" can easily lead to a deadlock of "tired but not moving forward".
So some people have good mathematics in elementary and junior high school, but as soon as they enter high school, their math difficulty increases linearly, and their learning collapses instantly.
Lin Ping had a personal experience of this problem. He knew the importance of cultivating mathematical thinking. Some academic masters were not born smarter than others, but they received proper education and cultivated good learning methods and learning thinking. Therefore, Lin Ping did his best to guide these children and inspire and activate their "mathematical consciousness" from now on, just like opening up meridians in martial arts novels.
The course content of this class was systematically rated as "simple". Lin Ping once again received three "s" and the total evaluation "s" and received 60 points.
This kind of evaluation system that teaches and evaluates every class makes Lin Ping feel very accomplished, especially when he sees that the students have mastered knowledge of 100%, the feeling of satisfaction that is beyond words makes people feel very pleasant.
Perhaps, this is the glory of being a people’s teacher.
During this class, Lin Ping returned to the place where he and Ma Zhongguo were sleeping and working as an office and received a glass of water. After two classes, his throat felt a little tired, but his mental state was particularly good.
When they returned to the classroom, the five students were waiting for him. Because of Lin Ping's arrival, class was no longer a torture, and get out of class was no longer a pleasure. They looked at Lin Ping with anticipation, hoping that Lin Ping could use every minute and every second to impart fresh knowledge to them.
Lin Ping looked at the students' expectant gazes and the math textbooks that had not been put away on the desk. He suddenly remembered someone, so he said, "Students, I'll tell you a story during the break."
"There is a child who has been poor since childhood, but he loves to think very much. Because he often sits in a daze and thinks so he is called a fool by his companions. He was admitted to high school after graduating from junior high school, but because his family can't afford the tuition, he had to drop out of school and stop going to school..." Lin Ping looked at the students, and the students lowered their heads and showed a sad expression when they heard this.
Lin Ping continued: "But do you think his life is the end? Learning has come to an abrupt end?"
The five children looked up at Lin Ping without saying anything.
"No." Lin Ping's voice raised a little bit, "This child relied on his desire for knowledge to complete all the mathematics courses in high school and lower grades in college through self-study during the 5 years he dropped out of school and stayed at home. The child's name is Hua Luogeng."
The five children shook their heads in a daze. They didn't know who Hua Luogeng was.
So, Lin Ping introduced to them Hua Luogeng's achievements and his status in the Chinese mathematics community.
Now, after listening to Lin Ping's introduction to Hua Luogeng, the five children's eyes lit up. The eyes seemed to see the shadow of his future in this great mathematician Hua Luogeng who had never met.
"Teacher!" Liu Xiangqian raised his hand.
"you say."
After standing up, Liu Xiangqian said confidently: "Teacher, is it possible for me to become 'Hua Luogeng'?"
Five pairs of eyes stared at Lin Ping and waited for his answer.
Lin Ping smiled slightly: "No."
The five children's eyes were filled with tension and overwhelming, as well as self-doubt.
"For... why?" Liu Xiangqian did not get the answer he wanted from Teacher Lin, and was a little depressed.
"Because you not only need to learn mathematics, you also need to learn Chinese, English, ideology, morality, history, geography, biology, physics, chemistry." Lin Ping joked, "At the same time, your generation is a generation standing on the shoulders of giants. You cannot copy Hua Luogeng's miracle, but your future achievements are likely to surpass him."
The five children also laughed and made a sound of exhaling in their mouths.
"It has become history for people like Hua Luogeng who have outstanding single subjects to success. Today's society requires you to become all-round talents, or to either become liberal arts talents in politics, history, geography, or science talents in physics, chemistry, and biology. But no matter what, Chinese, mathematics and English must be learned well. Therefore, you must not only learn Chinese and mathematics well, but also learn English well." Lin Ping smiled and raised his English book, "Come on, class time is up. Our third class is English class, and now we are ready to start our English learning!"
Lin Ping perfectly connected from Hua Luogeng's story to the next English class.
"Ah? Time flies so fast, class is going to begin so quickly?"
The students took out their English textbooks as they spoke.
"teacher!"
At this time, the boy who rarely spoke raised his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Can you not learn English?"
Li Shulin's words stunned Lin Ping.
"That's right, Teacher Lin, can you not learn English?" Liu Weiguo also said with an unhappy look, and pushed the English book aside as he spoke.
"Why?" Lin Ping asked with interest.
"I am a Chinese man, why should I learn the bird's singing that even dogs can't understand?" Liu Weiguo's tone was full of resistance.
"Wei Guo is right, Teacher Lin, we are all Chinese, what kind of bird singing is learned? I feel annoyed when I see this bird singing. This is not something that people learn!" Liu Xiangqian also echoed.
Li Shulin chuckled: "Love me in China, never learn English!"???
Lin Ping looked at the three question marks rising above the heads of the three boys, but it seemed that he had also resisted English before.
At this time, the class time has come and the classroom mode is entered. Each student has the status bar and two small dots raised on his head.
Turtle!
Lin Ping took a look at the students' condition and was stunned.
Class has just begun, and Lin Ping has not started teaching yet. Except for Liu Qingmei, the other five students all had yellow lights on their heads.
Chapter completed!
