The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 96
"The county lord is here."

The new school started, and the county magistrate also came here specially.

It is a good thing to have an extra school in the county.

And for those from poor families, admission is free.

As soon as the county magistrate came over, the people around immediately knelt down.

Runtu, Mr. Shen, they didn't kneel. As a scholar, they don't have to kneel when they see the magistrate.

As for John, he didn't kneel down. The government didn't dare to provoke foreigners at this time.

Especially the recent naval battle.After the defeat, the officials became a little afraid of foreigners.

If you open a separate shop or something, the county magistrate will definitely not take care of it.

But the school is different, it is still a new style school, and the county magistrate wants to come and have a look.

Runtu, Mr. Shen, and John, besides the three of them, also invited a scholar to teach Chinese.

Although some ideas do not agree.

But Runtu gave Mr. a lot of money.

It is enough to only be responsible for teaching and reading.

It took half a month to come down.

Forty or so students roughly understood what was going on.

Divided into two classes according to the academic performance.Big class and small class.

There are four teachers, each of whom can teach for at most one hour a day.

A Mr. Chinese, John teaches foreign language and biomedicine, Mr. Shen teaches geography, history and thought, and Runtu teaches math.

For teaching, it is old-fashioned.

It was originally time to travel over during lectures.

This lesson teaches arithmetic.

Immediately there was a question on the blackboard, the most famous one being the chicken and the rabbit in the same cage.

"There is a cage with chickens and rabbits in it. Count them. There are 14 heads and 38 legs. How many chickens and rabbits are there?"

More equipment.

I also sent an abacus to everyone.

Many of these people want to do things for themselves.

Arithmetic is one of the most important subjects in business.

What I teach is a big class, and the children in the big class are either a little basic or a little smarter.

There are also a few people who have solved it.

Runtu: "There are many solutions to this problem. The most simple and intuitive one is the list method."

Runtu made a diagram on the blackboard.

Occasionally, other teachers would come to attend classes during class.

"We can see that there are 9 chickens and 5 rabbits. We should not list them in order, otherwise the speed of doing the questions will be very slow. For example, after listing 0 chickens and 14 rabbits, we found that The number of legs is 56, which is quite different from the actual 38, so next time you can skip the situation where the number of chickens is 2, and directly list the number of chickens as 3, which will be faster.”

This tabulation method, students can accept it faster.

Forms, the current accountants are rarely used in forms.

As long as you are good at using forms, you can save a lot of effort in the accounting room.

"The second method is the drawing method. Drawing pictures can make mathematics visualized, and drawing pictures often can also help to cultivate creativity! Assuming that all 14 are chickens, draw the chickens first. 14×2=28 pieces , the difference is 38-28=10, and each chicken becomes a rabbit with 2 legs, and 5 chickens need 2 legs each, so there are 5 rabbits, 14-5=9 chickens.”

"The third type, Golden Rooster Independence Law"

"The fourth method, the whistle blowing method"

"Fifth, hypothetical method"

"The sixth method is the method of cutting off feet. If one foot is cut off from each rabbit and two feet are cut off from each rabbit, then each chicken becomes a one-horned chicken, and each rabbit becomes a two-legged rabbit. In this way, the total number of feet of chickens and rabbits is changed from 1 to 2. If there is a rabbit in the cage, the total number of feet is 38 more than the total number of heads. Therefore, the total number of feet is 19 and the total number of heads is 1 The difference is the number of rabbits, that is, 19-14=19. Therefore, the number of chickens is 14-5=14.”

"The seventh method, the equation method, is also the most important thing to talk about today. Suppose: the number of chickens is x, then the number of rabbits is (35-x). Column: 2X+4(35-X)= 94 The final number of chickens was 23, and the number of rabbits was 12."

"Okay, students, this is the end of our class today. No matter how hard you think about the equations taught today, you can explore each other. get out of class is over."

Mr. Shen listened to this class.

Shocked.

The issue of chickens and rabbits sharing the same cage has long been raised.

But it's the first time I've heard of so many solutions.

"Wakamatsu, your knowledge is really amazing. Mr. Jingwu must have never taught arithmetic. Where did you learn it?"

He expressed puzzlement.

For Runtu to be able to do this, he must have been a new student.

Runtu: "Self-taught."

Mr. Shen lamented Runtu's talent, "I know your calligraphy is very good, but I didn't expect your chalk writing to be so good."

Mr. Shen can also write with chalk.After all, I have stayed abroad.

Only the Chinese teacher is relatively unfamiliar with chalk.

I am used to writing brushes, but I am not used to writing blackboard characters with chalk pens.

After class, I returned to the dormitory.

"Mr. Zhang is really amazing. There are seven solutions to the chicken and rabbit in the same cage. Especially the seventh one, which is unheard of. It can solve more problems."

"This is new learning. Learn it hard. What Mr. Zhang teaches is the big skills that will allow you to live and work in the future."

In half a month, several transfer students came in.

Many are assigned to small classes.

"what is this?"

"Newspaper. Mr. Zhang asked someone to bring it back from Shanghai."

"What is a newspaper?"

"Newspapers are dedicated to publishing news. Mr. Zhang also taught journalism classes. You can listen to them when there are classes. No matter what new things happen outside, he will publish them, so he is also called newsprint. New Contrary to the old, reform and renew. Introduce the old and bring forth the new. Express a state and nature different from the old, new era. New society. New ideas. New thinking."

"News is information about newly changed facts. News is information, which expresses the essence of news. Information is something that eliminates information uncertainty and gives people the expectation of behavior. Facing the uncertainty of the surrounding environment, if there is no information, there is no Taking action in anticipation will have many serious consequences. Therefore, information is the premise of all people's behaviors, and news is to provide information, which shows that news reports are closely related to politics, economy, military, society and people's daily life. Shows the extreme importance of news reporting in modern life. Newspapers are what carry news."

"Let me see."

"These are old newspapers, and the content on them is outdated. Mr. Zhang will send someone to deliver new newspapers every once in a while, and you can just read them when the time comes."

"I haven't read a newspaper before, and I want to."

"Okay, you can read it if you want. Anyone can read these newspapers. Compared with newspapers, I want to understand the equations taught by Mr. Zhang today."
