American elementary school mathematics taught simple is well known, but I did not expect so simple. He fled to escape the second grade school to the present, the total amount of math homework one week of no more than 10 minutes. In this way, some parents still find it too difficult, the recent meeting of parents, teachers happily for everyone to depict this school year teaching content, methods, when it comes to mathematics, some parents questioned, said two teaching second grade the number of additions too hard, that children can not understand it.

This is a benefit in the United States to go to school, because it is a multi-cultural society, it can often encounter all kinds of wonderful variety of situations, constantly challenging your cognitive limits. So parents will finish I thought to myself at the beginning, it seems that mathematics can not expect to school, we must learn to rely on something to estimate father and mother.

However, after a few days, I found I was wrong, because fled to escape the material to take back a mathematics project, and after a close look thoroughly impressed me, and sigh Americans really have a set of teachings. Just as I was full of worship and asked for more time to escape to escape on the details of the project, was again mine down:

"This is a physical education teacher taught" ......

"What? Are you sure?" ......

"Yes ah, after gym class taught physical education teacher, a curriculum called I & E" ......

I still do not believe, for fear fled to escape a mistake, then send an email to confirm their class (the "teacher" is my title to play, they do not have the title, the United States and below third grade teacher on a charge of Mathematical Sciences English social and other programs, so if they say math is the language teacher to teach that is true, but suddenly emerge a "gym teacher" made me feel very crazy), and soon received a reply from the teacher,

Yang is part of the enrichment group for our Intervention & Enrichment time.Activities are planned by a 2nd grade teacher, but facilitated by the PEteacher.

This time I realized that the original design of the course is the other teachers, but it is performed by a physical education teacher, although still sounds strange, but I know better than to let his son alone, "Mathematics is a physical education teacher taught" a little better .

Why do I say back then curious, because I think this project is designed to be really good. This is the first children to design a birthday party of his project:

American kids math is taught physical education teacher! Really!

In the plan, the teacher gives some setting conditions, such as:

Budget can be spent: 500 US dollars

Maximum number of guests invited: 11

Party time: up to three hours

In addition, there is reference to steps and tips, such as the procurement of things, do not forget to count yourself; use menu planner to select the need to buy food, supplies; with entertainment planner to select entertainment to be purchased; each write them down; be careful not to exceed the budget and party time; do a whole party of schedule, such as what to eat What time, what a few started to play and write it down; and finally make the invitation card, pay attention to the name, time and place are clearly written .

American kids math is taught physical education teacher! Really!

This is a Menu Planner, fled to escape behind him tick things to buy, ready to buy several hit several hook

American kids math is taught physical education teacher! Really!

This is Entertainment Planner, likewise, fled to escape in the back of his book entertainment ticked, he initially chose two Magician (magician), did not choose Bounce House with Slide Rental (rent slide jumping bed), and later when the entire party row schedule and found two magicians accounted for two hours, and other activities is difficult to row in, and some friends had come up if forced to wait did not play, so the revised Bounce House, to ensure that the entire party three hours, there is always something to play.

This is a record of all purchased items table, counting money than usual arithmetic may have more interest, although is multiplication (some items bought several) is a decimal point, but he considered exactly right, he said to be " not waste budget "!

This is the last row out of the party schedule, some of which are parallel activities, such as face paint (face painting impossible to draw together a dozen children, but one by one, then the other person will empty), snack, game and piñata (this is a Spanish term for a decorative paper is made from animals or other shapes of things, filled with candy or small toys, hung high, the children with a stick to beat it with other damage way Ye Hao, in short, to destroy it, so that the inside of the candy or small toys full fall out, the party is a way to have fun is); in addition some activities can be partially parallel, such as pizza time, the first few minutes and divide get confusing pizza, they all start to get a plate to eat when you can sit down and watch a magic show. Although the master plan is not perfect, but it can be considered a reasonable.

American kids math is taught physical education teacher! Really!

Of course, there will be issued to invite each friend posted.

American kids math is taught physical education teacher! Really!

This is the entire project execution as well as children, and I had to sigh, American teachers to teach mathematics very "big" is not a simple arithmetic operation, nor is around 9 18 bends Mathematical Olympiad problems, but real it seeks life in the big scenes in the solution. In this kind of scenario, the study calculated, which are planning to do to the practice, but the kids did not dull and boring math and replace it with fun and excitement. If so, make physical education teacher taught mathematics there is no harm done? I do not bring people look "small" a.
