A beef math problem, no one in the class answered it correctly, and the teacher was angry and cried, would you?
"Today we're going to solve a special math problem." The math teacher stood on the podium with a mysterious smile on his face.
"This question is about beef." The teacher continued, "The topic is this: a restaurant bought 100 kilograms of beef, used 70 kilograms to make steaks, and made beef balls with the rest of the beef. Excuse me: What is the weight of the remaining beef? ”
When the whole class heard this, they picked up their pens and began to calculate. I thought to myself, can we still solve such a simple question as a class? So, quickly wrote down the answer: 30 kilograms.
However, when the teacher asked everyone to hand in the answers, her face turned serious: "None of the people in the class got this question right. ”
We were all stunned, how could no one get such a simple question right?
The teacher took a deep breath and continued, "The correct answer to this question is that there is no beef left, because after using 70 kilograms of beef to make a steak, the remaining beef is made into beef balls, and all the beef is used up. ”
Hearing this, the class was in an uproar. It turns out that this question is not just a simple subtraction, but a test of language understanding and logical thinking.
It dawned on me and I thought to myself, "Indeed, the title says that the leftover beef is made into beef balls, instead of asking how much beef is left." ”
The teacher looked at our disappointed expressions and sighed: "You must learn to read the question carefully and understand the meaning. Mathematics is not only about calculations, but more importantly about logical thinking and comprehension. ”
I nodded silently, feeling that the teacher had a point. Many times, we habitually think that math problems are just the operation of numbers, but ignore the logic behind them and the accuracy of the language.
After class, I discussed this question with a few classmates. Everyone felt that they were too careless and did not read the questions carefully.
Xiao Ming said with a smile: "This question really teaches us a lesson, it seems that we must be careful in doing questions in the future." ”
I also smiled: "Yes, the teacher's question this time is really wonderful, which makes us understand that mathematics is not only about calculation, but also about understanding and thinking." ”
A few days later, the teacher came up with a similar problem. This time we all became cautious, read the question carefully, thought carefully, and finally came up with the correct answer.
The teacher looked at us and smiled with satisfaction: "You see, this is the right attitude to do the questions." No matter how simple the topic is, take it seriously and think carefully. ”
I said with deep feeling, "Thank you, teacher, we really learned a lot this time." ”
The teacher nodded: "Remember, mathematics is not just a game of numbers, but also a training of thinking. I hope you can work harder and achieve better results in the future. ”
This beef math problem makes us understand that when doing the problem, we must read the problem carefully, understand the meaning of the problem, and not just look at the surface. Although the teacher cried because of our carelessness, she also taught us an important lesson through this question.
I hope that every student can learn this from this, and continue to improve their thinking and comprehension skills in their studies, so as to meet greater challenges.
