Xu Qiang introduced that

will only teach in his life. I originally liked physics, but I was forced to drop out of school before I could finish the first grade of junior high school. So I decided to teach and became a physics teacher. Encountering the reform and opening up, English became popular and English was taught instead. Later, I had the opportunity to go to university and normal school. After graduation, he stayed in school to teach, focusing on early childhood foreign language education. Came to ASU for a second master's degree. and teaches Chinese, English at ASU. He discovered that there were huge problems in American mathematics education and changed his teaching to mathematics. In the past ten years, we have been engaged in the education of gifted children. Now I am engaged in consulting training at "Ruolan Education College".

Society is changing, technology is developing, the use of mathematics, ancient and modern times, before and after the industrial revolution, has undergone great changes. With the invention of electronic calculators and the emergence of computers, the functions of mathematics are changing accordingly. Today's students will face the Internet of Things, intelligent robots, and Industry 4.0 society when they graduate. It is a society that is different from ours now. The society at that time and the workplace at that time were no longer the same world as the one we could travel around just by learning mathematics, physics and chemistry. Are the content we ask our children to study hard and the way we educate them make them smarter or dumber? Are they making them capable or dumber?

We all know that mathematics is an important subject. Start teaching in kindergarten. No matter what major students choose in the future, no matter whether they like it or not, they must continue to study in primary school, middle school, and university. Why? Everyone will tell you that math works. This is absolutely true. What's the use? The answers to this question are varied and diverse. The weirdest answer is that if you learn mathematics well and get good scores, you can get a scholarship and enter a good university. The means and ends are completely reversed. No matter what the answer is, it always has two effects. First, the learning purpose is clear, which can increase students' motivation for learning and bring learning fun; second, the learning purpose is correct, allowing students to learn useful things. Teachers, parents, and students should understand these two points.
