First, the British mainly rely on computers to calculate, and they don't know that the formula of 99 multiplication is normal.
Why don't the British understand? 9x8？ how much is it? Actually, I don't blame the British. After all, there is no such thing as a multiplication table in their math teaching. They are all very simple mathematics, and the most important thing in daily life is computer calculation. Walking in British supermarkets will find the local marketing methods a bit strange; For example, one apple 5 yuan and three apples 18 yuan, but local residents will still like to buy more apples with 18 yuan. To put it bluntly, they will hardly go. Calculation? I will only buy what I think is enough.
Second, Chinese education is different from Chinese textbooks. In fact, in the Sino-British exchange, China education has long been integrated into British life.
Regarding education in China, Bian Xiao must correct that education in China does not mean introducing Chinese mathematics education! Chinese education is actually China's educational model, mainly a way of teaching by teachers. Does not represent the educational concept of China's mathematical model. China's mathematical model education thought takes memory as the main idea, and achieves knowledge through constant practice and constant memory, which is different from the foreign liberal education model. Therefore, whether Chinese education is introduced in Britain has little to do with whether you know the multiplication table of 1999.
Cameron doesn't know? 9x8？ There has always been an exchange of educational models between China and Britain, regardless of whether Britain introduced China education.
