At the age of 33, Yau Chengtong was awarded the Fields Medal, the highest honor in the world mathematical community. Since then, he has won almost all the awards in the mathematical world. As a world-renowned mathematical master, Professor Yau Chengtong is very concerned about domestic education, especially the mathematical training of students. Yesterday (October 21st) afternoon, Professor Qiu Chengtong walked into Nanjing Tianzheng Primary School to give a keynote speech and communicate with teachers and students representatives face-to-face.
At the scene of the event, Professor Qiu Chengtong presented his autobiography "My Geometric Life" to the Nanjing Teaching and Research Office and Tianzheng Primary School, and Tianzheng Primary School gave back students self-made pulp paintings and mathematical education research monographs. This activity is also the first time that Professor Qiu Chengtong has walked into the primary school campus to give a lecture.
At the scene, Yau Chengtong shared his past in Berkeley. "The time I spent studying at Berkeley, although it was only two years, was the beginning of my life of research, and I became interested in creating and determined to do university questions. The cultivation of teacher-friend exchanges has benefited me a lot in my life! Qiu Chengtong said.
In his view, mathematics is the science of seeking the truth of nature, the bridge between the humanities and the natural sciences. The talent for learning mathematics is only a small part, and it is necessary to always maintain an innocent child's heart and maintain an innate desire for knowledge and creativity. He believes that mathematical learning at the primary school level should take an interest plus basic walking on two legs.
"If the primary school does not know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide, no matter how strong your interest is, if you do not do a good job in basic skills, it is impossible to learn well, so both sides should pay attention." Interest can make you interested in doing learning, do not have to feel annoyed, but the foundation is not good, you can not raise your interest. Qiu Chengtong said.
In order to stimulate students' interest in learning and cultivate the ability of lifelong learning, as early as 2011, Tianzheng Primary School set up a project for the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" of Jiangsu Provincial Education Science, which opened a ten-year research and exploration road of the concept of "suitable education", so that different students can get different development. To this end, the school proposes to carry out the "three modernizations" processing of mathematical knowledge according to the content of the textbook, which is cultural, childlike and enriched, and build a "three-modernization teaching" education model.
"The practice and exploration of 'Sanhua Mathematics' in the past ten years has been fruitful. In the last three academic quality tests in Jiangsu Province, the school's mathematical academic level ranks among the best. Since 2011, the mathematics group of Tianzheng Primary School has won the title of Advanced Teaching and Research Group of Nanjing for three consecutive years, and the professional quality of teachers has developed rapidly and the enthusiasm for project research is high. Cai Xiaoqian, a mathematics teacher at Tianzheng Primary School, reported to the guests the practice and exploration of mathematics education in Tianzheng Primary School in recent years.
The so-called 'three modernizations', one is the culturalization of mathematics, mathematicians also have a lot of strange things, there are many living people experience those joys and sorrows, then such a process let students feel that mathematics is not cold, so we must interpret mathematics from a cultural point of view; the second method is to be childlike, that is, to carry out a lot of mathematical activities suitable for children; the third is to process mathematics, it is necessary to enrich, when a person knows the ins and outs of knowledge, Only then can he become the master of knowledge, not be controlled by knowledge, and thus avoid the so-called 'high score and low energy', but truly become the master of this knowledge. Wang Jiuhong, principal of Nanjing Tianzheng Primary School, said.
