There are a lot of "mathematical thinking" courses, which have a lot to do with the current school's ability to learn students' ability, find problem-solving ability and thinking ability. "In the past, for the purpose of exam-taking, some schools have used repeated training in mathematics education. Brushing questions and other methods allow students to master the same kind of mathematics problems, and this deviates from the direction of mathematical thinking." A teacher from a primary school in Beijing, Li Lina, said in an interview.
Financing-intensive online mathematics thinking training "attack" early childhood education
In recent months, there has been news of investment and financing in the field of mathematical thinking training.
In June, the children's mathematical thinking online platform "Spark Thinking" announced the completion of the $20 million B+ round of financing, led by Sequoia Capital China Fund, Aurora Venture Capital and existing employers IDG Capital, Lightspeed China, Shanhang Capital, Jinshajiang Venture capital and investment. Previously, “Spark Thinking†had just won a $15 million Series B round of financing led by Shanhang Capital and IDG Capital, Lightspeed Capital and Jinshajiang Venture Capital. It is understood that the B round and B + two rounds of financing are less than one month apart.
In May, “Happy Seeds†received tens of millions of Pre-A rounds of financing from the investment of elements, innovative workshops and investment; in April, “One Hugh Math†received hundreds of votes from Shanghai Grape Holdings and blue elephant capital. 10,000 yuan seed round investment; in March, Growth Insurance announced the completion of 150 million B round of financing, led by the Zhenge Education Fund, Kunzhong Capital and other investments.
These institutions have presented the characteristics of online teaching. "One break math" is on the line of WeChat small program, "Spark Thinking" claims to use live online live broadcast for small classes.
On the core user base, these courses are designed to provide content and services to children ages 3-12. "Happy Seeds" is targeted at children aged 3-9; "One Hugh Math" focuses on mathematics thinking training for children aged 4-10 years; "Spark Thinking" is based on the small and medium-sized class in kindergartens and corresponding mathematics for children aged 3-10. Thinking courses; growth insurance for children aged 4-12.
Judging from the recent financing, it is obvious that the educational training “fire†burned to the preschool low mathematics thinking content. In response to this market, the founder of "Spark Thinking" has previously told the media that it is still blank.
Olympiad stopped, mathematical thinking was emphasized, and mathematical thinking was hot.
The reporter found that mathematics thinking training is not only recently fired.
In recent years, there have been many influxes of educational enterprises in the field of children's thinking training. Mathematical thinking is an important deep-rooted direction. These enterprises have both primary and secondary discipline counseling institutions, as well as institutions that focus on young connections; both online and offline institutions have competition.
The 4-12-year-old thinking training course offered by the head of the 1st to 1st head of the family launched the “mathematical logic trainingâ€; the young children’s mathematics thinking project “Little Law Lion†launched the mathematics thinking class for pre-school, elementary school and Xiaoshengchu. There are four campuses in Shanghai; Jinghui School of Elite Education began to train children's mathematics thinking skills in 4-12 years in 2014; Luo Zhenyu entered the K12 market to create a juvenile version of “Getâ€, and the first to use “opening the knife†is also a Math thinking training audio lessons.
Xuesisi and New Oriental University tutors have also been acting on the content of mathematics thinking: in 2009, the school began to offer mathematics thinking classes. In 2011, Mobi Mathematics offered mathematics thinking training courses for children aged 2-15. New Oriental has previously offered early childhood math thinking classes for students who are about to enter the big class. Recently, New Oriental Bubble Children launched a mathematical thinking enlightenment picture book for first-year students, and plans to use it on some campuses this summer.
Mathematical thinking training has been involved in institutions before, why is it "returning"?
It is understood that since February this year, the Ministry of Education has started special management of chaos in off-campus training institutions, and has severely rectified the "super-teaching", "advance teaching" and "enhanced examinations", and the "Olympic number" stopped. Mathematics The examination and counseling of other disciplines are facing certain impacts; and the continuous reform of the policy reform of the college entrance examinations in various places, the increasing emphasis on the comprehensive ability of students, is pushing the institutions to develop the quality of students from the perspective of cultivating students' comprehensive quality. Exploration.
When Li Lina, a primary school teacher in Beijing, was interviewed by reporters, he said that there are more “mathematical thinking†courses, which have a lot to do with the current school’s ability to learn students’ ability, find problem-solving skills and thinking ability. “In the past, For the purpose of exam-taking, some schools' mathematics education uses repeated training and brushing questions to make students master the same kind of mathematics, and this deviates from the direction of mathematical thinking."
For non-disciplinary counseling institutions, the basic pre-school education enlightenment is used to lay out the pre-school stage, and the ideas of primary and secondary schools should be taken out of the way. The organization can cultivate the content of “thinking ability†and “logical thinking†to cater to the quality education needs of parents. . In this way, it is not only good to avoid the positive competition with the future counseling institutions such as the good future, and the counseling institutions, but also to make use of the foundation for primary school mathematics and make a good connection to meet the parents' needs for the test, thus attracting more parents. The user pays for the child.
Xu Shi, the founding partner of Shanhang Capital, analyzed the new parent groups after 85 and 90. She believes that logical ability is the core ability in modern education. With the upgrading of consumption and the further attention of parents to mathematical logic after 85 and 90, the penetration rate of online mathematics and logical thinking training courses will increase rapidly.
Is the parent’s rush to be worth it?
The mathematics class in the school can't afford the mathematics thinking of the students. Why do parents still like this course?
"Can! But after all, it is limited by the content of the teaching and the uneven level of students in the class, so it will produce such a demand." Li Lina said.
She also believes that many parents have a mentality of “can't be sloppy and can't do it†for their children's education. Under this kind of psychological control, if the organization can truly achieve the teaching results they promise, parents will be eager for the course. .
In the view of Liu Meirong, a math teacher in a primary school in Beijing, the mathematics thinking classes of many institutions in the market are similar. "With some foreign experience, I have improved and processed a set of teaching methods and courses for mathematics thinking. Can you learn the essence?" The implementation effect is not very good guarantee."
The reporter saw that some institutions claimed that their own mathematics thinking class used the project-based learning methods PBL and STEAM teaching concepts.
The so-called "mathematical thinking", Liu Meirong believes that nothing more than the ability to train children in logical reasoning, calculation, problem solving, graphics, simple classification and data sorting, "some nursery classes have math thinking classes, However, it is early contact with mathematics training, that is, using the teaching materials of the institution to achieve the above training objectives."
Elementary school teacher Chen Guang believes that regardless of the new curriculum, parents should treat it rationally. "If the child really needs it, he can go to the class to study. If you don't understand whether the child needs it or not, how can he have the ability to learn and accept it? In the end, it can only be counterproductive."
