"Interest is the best teacher"
The primary school is an alumnus, and the high school went to the USTC exam together, and took the college entrance examination in the same year and successfully "met at the top...... How did the two outstanding students with a deep fate climb to the peak of "USTC" step by step?
"Interest is the best teacher." Lu Yichen and Hu Yunfan have the same characteristics, they both have a soft interest and love for mathematics, which is inseparable from the enlightenment and education of primary school. Hu Yunfan recalled that Daliang Experimental Primary School offered science courses and mathematical thinking courses, and the all-encompassing natural science phenomena and wonderful mathematical thinking filled him with curiosity and interest, thus opening the door to his thirst for mathematical knowledge.
"Thanks to the cultivation of my alma mater and teachers, the Diocesan course has laid a good foundation for enlightenment." Lu Yichen and Hu Yunfan bluntly said that the six-year enlightenment education of primary school has laid a good foundation for them, especially cultivating a strong interest in mathematics and laying a solid foundation.
It is reported that the mathematical thinking course of Daliang Experimental Primary School focuses on cultivating mathematical thinking through three aspects: potential development, puzzle games, and thinking improvement...... A series of vivid and interesting teaching methods help students learn to think, actively explore, and learn independently, comprehensively train students' breadth, depth and creativity in thinking, and improve their mathematical reasoning, spatial reasoning and logical reasoning skills.
"I've always liked to learn ahead of time and delve into what interests me." Lu Yichen shared: "When I listen to the teacher talk about a certain knowledge point in class, I often have a flash of inspiration, and if I have doubts about a certain point or hope to get deeper popularization, I will immediately consult books outside of class for independent learning." Lu Yichen recalled: "When I was in primary school, I participated in the school's mathematics and mathematical thinking course, which stimulated my interest in mathematics, so I actively participated in mathematics competitions, learned part of the junior high school mathematics knowledge in advance, and improved my thinking ability; When I was in junior high school, I had to learn physics with mathematics as a support, which stimulated my interest in physics, so I learned high school mathematics and physics in advance. ”
How do you balance the relationship between advanced learning and ongoing learning? Hu Yunfan believes that extracurricular learning is not a learning burden, but based on interest to explore and understand, looking for better ideas and methods, will not bring a lot of burden. He suggested that you listen carefully in class, digest the content taught by the teacher in class, and learn some advanced interest knowledge in the evening or spare time, so as to enrich your vision and insight.
Hu Yunfan and his parents presented flowers to the teacher and thanked the teacher for his cultivation and enlightenment.
"Participate in more competitions to improve thinking skills"
The University of Science and Technology of China's "Junior Class and Innovation Pilot Class" aims to cultivate world-class top scientists and first-class scientific and technological leaders with a heart for the country, so there are professional assessment and selection standards for top-notch talents in mathematics and physics. How to overcome these two key courses? Lu Yichen and Hu Yunfan have their own experiences.
Lu Yichen's secret to learning mathematics is three steps: laying the foundation, practicing difficult problems, and brushing test papers. He believes that the focus of mathematics is to exercise one's thinking, focus on thoroughly understanding the problems in class, brush the test papers before the exam, practice accuracy and proficiency, and master the rhythm of the exam.
"Be good at summarizing." Hu Yunfan said that science learning lies in mastering the rules of learning and thinking, according to the daily literacy test, copy the problems and answers, and then find a simple and effective solution path for the corresponding knowledge points, establish a systematic thinking method, and find a breakthrough from various angles.
The growth paths of Lu Yichen and Hu Yunfan are surprisingly similar, neither of them took the road of high-end competition, but under the cultivation of comprehensive courses, they expanded their knowledge of mathematics and physics competitions with their interests and hobbies. It is conceivable that it takes many times the ability to pay more than others, and in addition to daily course learning, it is essential to learn competition knowledge or conduct competition training.
Hu Yunfan shared: "I just came into contact with the content of the strong foundation course in the first year of high school, and I did not learn the knowledge of the competition in detail, so the mathematics and physics teacher in the second year of high school encouraged me to sprint to the 'less innovative class', so I spent three months supplementing the knowledge of the competition in mathematics and physics. ”
Lu Yichen, who studied in Shunde No. 1 Middle School in high school, also actively participated in the Olympiad and Qiangji courses to enhance his core competitiveness. Relying on the school's practice platform, Lu Yichen has participated in many off-campus activities, and has won the first prize in the China Competition of the International Mathematical Modeling Challenge, the first prize in the preliminary round of the Guangdong Mathematics Olympiad, and the first prize in the Guangdong Province in the ICC National High School Student Innovation Ability Competition.
In addition, Lu Yichen believes that reading is an important way to learn, and it is also of great significance for personal growth. Lu Yichen introduced that when he was in primary school, he liked to read all kinds of story books and popular science books, especially mathematics books; When I was in junior high school, I liked to read novels, physics books, and history books. When I was in high school, I mainly read mathematics and physics books outside of class. It is precisely these extensive reading accumulations that have cultivated Lu Yichen's broader vision and higher thinking. "I have always believed that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and if you learn more knowledge and improve your abilities, you will be able to better seize opportunities in the future." Lu Yichen said.
Self-directed learning is also Hu Yunfan's excellent learning quality. Hu Yunfan's mother, Ms. Wu, told reporters: "Yunfan has been more active in learning since he was a child, never has to worry about his parents about homework, and is very cooperative with the teacher, as long as it is ordered by the teacher, he must take the initiative to complete it with high quality." Referring to her experience in family education, Ms. Wu said: "As a parent, the only thing you can do is to do a good job of logistics, provide a warm and quiet learning environment for your child, and encourage her to be a strong backing for her child." ”
Lu Yichen and Hu Yunfan returned to their alma mater to share their learning secrets.
"Cultivating the ability to take it with you for a lifetime"
What's the biggest secret to success? In Lu Yichen and Hu Yunfan, they got the same answer - "interest". This is consistent with the guiding ideology of Daliang Experimental Primary School of "first learn to cultivate children's interests". It is reported that in 2019, at the beginning of Wang Qingrong's tenure at Daliang Experimental Primary School, he focused on the first 12-word policy: "stimulate interest, independent learning, cooperation and exchange".
"Establish the ambition of a thousand miles and become an outstanding talent." Daliang Experimental Primary School relies on this school-running concept to plan education and teaching activities. Wang Qingrong believes that in addition to the learning of professional knowledge, the cultivation of comprehensive literacy is also particularly important, and the shaping of students' character is infiltrated in teaching. First, ensure physical and mental health, learn to rest and live, and good physical and mental health is a solid foundation for learning. Second, learn the truth of being a person and doing things, whether it is learning or working, being a person and doing things is accompanied and affects a lifetime. Third, improve the level of solid basic knowledge, and lay a solid foundation in primary school, so that we can have the power to take off.
"What is core literacy? That is, the ability to take away in a lifetime. Wang Qingrong said with confidence: "In the future, Daliang Experimental Primary School will continue to cultivate students' comprehensive core literacy, throughout the whole process of education and teaching, and cultivate good, intelligent and healthy young people." ”
In order to train students to become "five good teenagers" with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor, Daliang Experimental Primary School actively builds a diversified curriculum system that comprehensively improves students' comprehensive literacy. Wang Qingrong introduced that the school adheres to the principle of cultivating people with virtue, developing quality education, and cultivating core literacy, and the "Diocesan Education Curriculum System" divides the school curriculum into basic courses and extended courses, among which, the extended courses include 14 compulsory school-based courses such as basketball, football, swimming, and musical instruments, as well as 100 elective courses, which students can choose to learn independently according to their interests.
Hu Yunfan is one of the extended courses that meet the needs of students' personality development and all-round development, allowing them to show their strengths and move towards the star-studded stage. He studied violin, trumpet, and trombone for five years in primary school, and participated in many performances of the school's wind orchestra to develop hobbies and personal strengths.
"The violin will benefit me for the rest of my life, not only to cultivate my emotions, but also to relax my mind and body after studying." Hu Yunfan suggested: "Primary school has enough time, and students should find and fully cultivate their own interests and hobbies - a specialty that can relax themselves. ”
I miss the fun of playing on the school basketball court and kicking mangoes on the ground after school; I miss every performance of the wind orchestra, and the teammates work together to play the good memories of indulging in music; I miss the 6th grade dormitory, and enjoy the free activities organized by the dormitory teacher before the evening every evening, and enjoy the fun and endless game time; I miss the school cafeteria's delicious dishes, especially the delicious fried rice and dumplings...... Talking about the memory of their alma mater, Lu Yichen and Hu Yunfan talked with relish, full of nostalgia and gratitude for Shixiao.
Lu Yichen and Hu Yunfan returned to their alma mater to take a group photo with the teacher in front of "Maxima".
