Most middle’s school students find it boring to learn Math. But students in Yat Sen middle school in New York, US, don’t think so. Why? Because they are in the school of one program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have Math lessons.
“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare with it. We give each lesson according to the students’ interest and their strong and weak points.” said Joel I. Klein, the school’s head teacher, “We’re looking for a new way that interests students.”
Students enjoy these Math lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to Math problems to get through the games. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes(迷宫) with their keyboards, some questions come up.
Caleb Deng had to answer the question： What is 5+(6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.
“I was right, ”said Deng，14，as he ended the game with a high score(高分). “This really makes Math lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better.”
