All of the teachers present stared at Zhang Ye, who was speaking with confidence and uncertainty. This was no longer just a simple elementary math question.
"Who is this person?"
"What's his background?"
"Is this person really a math teacher?"
"I've never seen such a question before. I've never heard of any school or textbook having a question like the one Chenchen's parents set. Did he just write it on the spot?"
"This question is really amazing!"
"Yeah, there's indeed a hidden mystery behind it!"
"It looks difficult, but it's actually very simple."
"Yeah, it looks easy, but it's actually very difficult."
"Why do I find him more and more familiar? I can't see him clearly with sunglasses on! "
All of the teachers chimed in one after another. The experience that Zhang Ye had led them through just now had left them with mixed feelings. It was very emotional and enlightening.
Li Jiaxing was the teacher who felt the most conflicted. This was because not only was he the most educated among them, he was also a math teacher. If the other art teachers, language teachers, or music teachers could not answer this question, it would still be understandable. But he, Li Jiaxing, could not even answer it. He was even worse than his own student, who he had just criticized earlier. This put him in a difficult position and made him lose face. He wished he could just open the door and crawl into a hole in the ground, but he knew that he could not run away, nor could he run away!
After Zhang Ye gave them a lesson, his anger subsided. He said to Li Jiaxing, "Teacher Li, the meaning of that question just now is the same. I've seen the steps you wrote on the blackboard. The method you used to break up the questions is based on the way adults think and are used to. It's very different from the way children think about arithmetic that they slowly learn from kindergarten. That's why many of the children could not understand it and felt that they could not comprehend it." He raised his hand and picked up the pen again, writing a few lines on the blackboard. "What if you solve the question in this way? Chenchen, can you understand it? "
Chenchen took a look and said, "I understand."
"Ah, I understand it!"
"I know how to solve it now!"
"So that's how it's solved!"
The other children also chimed in, expressing that they understood it at a glance.
Zhang Ye expressed his opinion and said, "That's why I came up with a question that all of you thought was weird. It's best to teach children in a way that is suitable for them. At least, I don't think we should force an adult's way of thinking on our children. Every age group has its own way of thinking. Elementary, middle, high school, university students, every age group should have their own different educational strategies and ways of thinking. We should keep up with the times and improve with age."
Everyone was speechless.
There was even a philosophy in elementary math questions?
There was even a reflection on society in elementary math questions?
Li Jiaxing and the other teachers and school leaders had never heard of such an arithmetic question before. Today was an eye-opener for them. At this moment, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that they had met an expert!
Li Jiaxing took a breath and asked curiously, "Teach … Do you teach? Are you also a primary school teacher? " In his opinion, a person who could come up with such a question that targeted elementary school students' way of thinking would most likely be a professional primary school teacher. That was why he could understand elementary school children so well. As for Li Jiaxing, he had only been transferred to teach in elementary schools last year, so he had a different understanding of the children's way of thinking. He was more familiar with the high school students' way of thinking when solving math questions, which was why he lost to Zhang Ye.
The other teachers also thought the same.
However, Chenchen's parent's answer was beyond everyone's expectations. Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Me? I teach university students. "
"What?"
"Huh?"
"University students?"
"You're a university teacher?"
"That can't be?"
"So young? How can you be a university teacher! "
"Yeah, where can there be such a young university math teacher?"
The teachers of No. 2 Experimental Primary School all voiced their doubts.
Li Jiaxing was also stunned. As a master's student in mathematics, he naturally knew what it meant to be a university math teacher. Mathematics was different from other subjects. It was not something that could be obtained with academic qualifications alone. Even with his master's, he would still need to do an internship for a few years before he could teach in a university. Furthermore, he might not even be able to teach in the end. The requirements to become a university teacher were much higher than high school or junior high!
"Which university do you teach in?" Li Jiaxing still knew some people in the industry. He did not know if Chenchen's parent was telling the truth, so he continued to ask.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I used to teach at Peking University."
Li Jiaxing said in surprise, "Peking University? Which Peking University? "
Zhang Ye said nervously, "There are many Peking Universities in China?"
When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded. What the f * * k! Peking University? The top university in the country? A math teacher from a world-renowned university?
F * * k!
Would you die if you didn't brag!
How could you possibly be a teacher from Peking University!?
A female music teacher laughed and said, "Chenchen's family sure is humorous, heeheehee."
Li Jiaxing asked again, "Which school do you teach at?"
Zhang Ye was left speechless, "…"
Finally, the form teacher, Zhao Mei, spoke up. She said with a wry smile, "Teacher Zhang is really a teacher from Peking University. And not only is he a teacher, he's also an associate professor at Peking University's School of Mathematical Sciences."
Peking University teacher?
And an associate professor??
The school leaders and teachers nearly fainted from shock! Could it be that exaggerated? A Peking University teacher in his twenties was already shocking enough, but now he's even an associate professor? How could that be possible! Of all the teachers in China's universities, when had there ever been such a young associate professor??
Eh!
That's not right!
Wait a minute!
Li Jiaxing suddenly thought of something and his expression turned into one of extreme horror. It was as if he had been scared stiff as he cried out, "You! You're Zhang Ye! "
These words were like a bomb exploding inside and outside the classroom!
That No. 2 Experimental Primary School's Vice President suddenly stared at Chenchen's family member, "It's really Zhang Ye!"
A fine arts teacher slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Hai! I was wondering why he looked so familiar! So it's Teacher Zhang Ye! I should have thought of it earlier! "
"What the f * * k!"
"…"
"I knew it!"
All the teachers began to recognize Zhang Ye one by one!
They felt that they had really reached a certain level of stupidity. A person in his twenties who still wore sunglasses in the classroom had such a deep foundation in mathematics and was an associate professor of Peking University. Other than Zhang Ye, who else could it be!? Oh yes, there were rumors in the school that one of the second grade students' family members was a big celebrity. At that time, a few teachers had even seen Zhang Ye in a public lecture. The famous "Tribute to the White Poplar" also originated from the second grade, but as time passed, everyone gradually forgot about it!
Now, Zhang Ye had really appeared!
The one who was in the most awkward position was naturally Li Jiaxing. Of course he knew who Zhang Ye was. Not only did he know, he was even a hardcore fan of Zhang Ye. It was not because of Zhang Ye's programs, nor was it because of Zhang Ye's poems. What Li Jiaxing admired was Zhang Ye's unfathomable level of mathematics!
Thinking back, when he found out that Dale's Conjecture, which had troubled the mathematics world for over a hundred years, had been solved by a Chinese mathematician, Li Jiaxing was indescribably excited. He was excited for a very long time and even posted a lot of Weibo posts to express his pride and pride as a Chinese mathematician. At that time, it was the first time he had heard of the legendary Zhang Ye's name. From then on, he had always viewed him as his idol. To Li Jiaxing, Zhang Ye was the new leader of the Chinese mathematics world and also an important pillar of support for it. He had single-handedly held up the backbone of the Chinese mathematics world and stood up for the rest of the world's mathematics world. That scene back then, perhaps only a real mathematician would know what it meant to be stirred up. It was really like having one's heart beat wildly in one's chest!
That was why Li Jiaxing felt like vomiting blood at this moment. He wanted to vomit blood for three days and three nights!
What was I doing just now? I was arguing with Professor Zhang about mathematics? I was arguing with a world-class master mathematician about mathematics education?
Arguing with your sister!
Arguing, my ass!
How is this even on the same level!!
Facing such a living god of the mathematics world, Li Jiaxing could only be stunned. If he had known earlier that the other party was the famous Zhang Ye, he would not have dared to argue with him about mathematics even if he was beaten to death. Not to mention him, even his math teacher was not qualified to have an exchange with a great mathematician like Zhang Ye. With the difference in their levels, it was obvious that there was no possibility of an exchange. At most, they could only "listen"!
It was really Zhang Ye!
It was really the legendary Zhang Ye!
Li Jiaxing was kneeling, completely kneeling!!
