Mathematics Education in China

Speaker:

Rongrong Huo, University of Copenhagen

Abstract: 

International surveys of mathematics achievement often show certain regions of China in a top ranking position. Indeed, in China, Mathematics performance in high school is related to whether students could enter a good university. Based on my experience, I will briefly introduce the current situation of mathematics education in China from my perspective, such as what should be taught in high school mathematics and why it is so important. Here, I will show some typical tasks that frequently appear in exams. Finally, I will take Jiangsu as an example to talk about the mathematics education I received in high school.
