P1Maths is a subject that many students find challenging, but it doesn't have to be that way! The secret to learning maths well is to have fun in learning it and understand it deeply.
P2There is a common and harmful misunderstanding about maths. Some people think that top maths students are those who can quickly remember maths facts, like the multiplication table (乘法表). However, research shows that this isn't true. They don't just remember; they understand numbers in a proper way. This is called "number sense". Number sense means you can understand numbers and how they work together in different ways.
P3The new curriculum standards are helping students learn maths better by paying less attention to remembering and more to understanding numbers. This is important because number sense is the key for all higher-level maths learning.
P4Why is number sense so important? Here are three big reasons: With practice of number sense, you will get better at solving maths problems. You can think more creatively and find solutions more easily. Developing number sense helps you feel more confident about maths. When you understand numbers, you're glad to try new things and not be afraid of making mistakes. When you pay attention to understanding numbers, maths becomes more interesting. You start to see how cool numbers can be and how they work together.
P5So, number sense is so important. With number sense, maths can be a lot easier and a lot more fun!
