英國(guó)推行九九乘法表升級(jí)版 2024年將成為強(qiáng)制性考試
中國(guó)九九乘法表又來折磨英國(guó)人了！從3月起，英國(guó)將會(huì)對(duì)290所小學(xué)的7250名4年級(jí)學(xué)生進(jìn)行乘法表測(cè)試。不僅如此，這項(xiàng)測(cè)試將于2024年在全英國(guó)普及。此次推行的乘法表，在中國(guó)九九乘法表的基礎(chǔ)上改成更適合英國(guó)學(xué)生的12*12乘法表。
A multiplication test in some of England's primary schools is sparking debate in both the UK and China – where the test originates.
英國(guó)部分小學(xué)推行的乘法表測(cè)試在中英兩國(guó)引發(fā)熱議，乘法表源自中國(guó)。
The new multiplication test, or times table check, will be trialed at England’s primary schools in March. Some 7,250 pupils in Year 4 at 290 primaries, are expected to take part in the multiplication check before it becomes mandatory throughout the country in 2024.
今年3月起，英國(guó)小學(xué)將試推行這套新的乘法表測(cè)試。預(yù)計(jì)來自290所小學(xué)的約7250名4年級(jí)學(xué)生將參與該測(cè)試，之后將于2024年在全英國(guó)強(qiáng)制推行。
The test, which assesses knowledge of the times tables up to 12, is believed to be more suitable than the Chinese version which goes up to 9, since the duodecimal system is widely adopted in the UK.
英國(guó)人認(rèn)為，這套12*12口算乘法表測(cè)試比中國(guó)的九九乘法表更適合英國(guó)學(xué)生，因?yàn)樵搰?guó)廣泛采用的是十二進(jìn)制系統(tǒng)。
The test is extensively favored in Chinese schools, and is being gradually introduced to the UK, following the results of an experiment where British pupils who were taught math in the traditional Chinese way outperformed their peers by 10 percent. The experiment took place at Bohunt School in Hampshire in 2024.
乘法表測(cè)試在中國(guó)的學(xué)校中廣受歡迎，2024年漢普郡博航特中學(xué)進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果顯示，通過傳統(tǒng)的中國(guó)教學(xué)方式學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)的英國(guó)小學(xué)生數(shù)學(xué)成績(jī)比同齡人高出10%，由此乘法表也將逐步引入英國(guó)。
Supporters have hailed the new test, saying it contributes to a grasp of fundamental math.
支持者們對(duì)這項(xiàng)新測(cè)試表示歡迎，認(rèn)為它對(duì)掌握基礎(chǔ)數(shù)學(xué)有幫助。
“We have been teaching [the] times tables in our after school class for over 35 years and without doubt it is the most important skill we give our students,” a reader, whose screen name is “mad scientist,” wrote in a comment on the BBC's website.
網(wǎng)友“mad scientist”在英國(guó)廣播公司網(wǎng)站上評(píng)論道：“我們的課后班教乘法口訣表已經(jīng)超過35年了，毫無疑問，這是我們傳授給學(xué)生最重要的技能。”
“I still don't know them, and it's been a source of embarrassment to me ever since,” boundah, another reader, said on the same website.
網(wǎng)友“boundah”也在該網(wǎng)站留言稱：“我現(xiàn)在還不會(huì)乘法表，這一直讓我很尷尬。”
“Happy for the British pupils! They will do an even better job than their Chinese peers,” said scorpion_wa on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo.
國(guó)內(nèi)微博網(wǎng)友“scorpion_wa”稱：“為英國(guó)小學(xué)生感到開心！他們的數(shù)學(xué)要超過中國(guó)小學(xué)生了。”
However, not everyone is pleased with the move.
然而，并不是所有人都對(duì)這一舉措感到滿意。
“There are so many things wrong with math education in this country that a times table test is really just picking at a sore,” said Mike Cameron on Twitter.
麥克?卡梅隆在推特上稱：“英國(guó)的數(shù)學(xué)教育存在太多問題了，乘法口訣表測(cè)驗(yàn)只是治標(biāo)不治本。”
“British students will hate Chinese,” joked Weibo user Bujiubujiu.

“I believe it is a pressure on them,” said another Weibo user Feixufeixu.
另一位微博網(wǎng)友“Feixufeixu”則表示：“我認(rèn)為這對(duì)他們有壓力。”
The UK has been trying to replicate the success of math education in China by encouraging teachers to use a series of textbooks called “Real Shanghai Mathematics,” which have been translated directly from Chinese into English.
為了復(fù)制中國(guó)數(shù)學(xué)教育的成功，英國(guó)一直試圖倡導(dǎo)教師使用《真正上海數(shù)學(xué)》系列教材，這是一套被 Despite these efforts, the question of would a Chinese-style math education work in the UK, still remains to be answered.
盡管英國(guó)采取了上述措施，但關(guān)于中國(guó)式數(shù)學(xué)教育是否適用于英國(guó)的問題仍沒有明確答案。
