For the past ten or more years I have used, at Grosse Pointe, Michigan, a method which I have found effective in improving the arithmetical solution of verbal problems by junior high school pupils. A regular-sized sheet of notebook paper is ruled into three columns by making a narrow column about one inch wide at the extreme right of the paper, and dividing the balance of the paper into two equal columns.

The Government

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the policy and trends in rural education in China over the past 40 years; and also discuss a number of challenges that are faced by China’s rural school system. Design/methodology/approach The authors use secondary data on policies and trends over the past 40 years for preschool, primary/junior high school, and high school. Findings The trends over the past 40 years in all areas of rural schooling have been continually upward and strong. While only a low share of rural children attended preschool in the 1980s, by 2014 more than 90 percent of rural children were attending. The biggest achievement in compulsory education is that the rise in the number of primary students that finish grade 6 and matriculate to junior high school. There also was a steep rise of those going to and completing high school. While the successes in upscaling rural education are absolutely unprecedented, there are still challenges. Research limitations/implications This is descriptive analysis and there is not causal link established between policies and rural schooling outcomes. Practical implications The authors illustrate one of the most rapid rises of rural education in history and match the achievements up with the policy efforts of the government. The authors also explore policy priorities that will be needed in the coming years to raise the quality of schooling. Originality/value This is the first paper that documents both the policies and the empirical trends of the success that China has created in building rural education from preschool to high school during the first 40 years of reform (1978-2018). The paper also documents – drawing on the literature and the own research – the achievements and challenges that China still face in the coming years, including issues of gender, urbanization, early childhood education and health and nutrition of students.

The Common

During the past decade, certain areas in the curricula of the common school have been relatively static while other areas have been modified, in some cases, to the extreme. In the first few grades of the elementary school one finds numerous changes that have taken place and are still taking place. Many of these changes are indeed significant, particularly in arithmetic. In the middle elementary grades one finds a diminishing of the number and importance of the changes as compared with those of the lower grades. Again in the junior high school much has been done to adapt materials to the needs of the age. In mathematics adjustments have been made particularly at this level. Yet in spite of the fact that the mathematics of the junior high school has been modified to meet the needs of general education, one finds the attacks continuing, especially those directed at tenth grade mathematics which has not been altered as much as the ninth grade program.

Master's Thesis

The problem of mathematics is an important teaching method of students' core qualities cultivation. Statistics and analysis of The master's thesis related to "junior high school mathematics" and "problem posing" in the past ten years were counted and analyzed from chronological distribution, institutional distribution and research topics and other dimensions. The research results: ignorance of domestic research on the textbook content; formalization of problem raising under the the guidance of theory; the opposite direction of demonstration and qualitative research; fuzzy and superficial results and countermeasures of research. Research reflection: broaden thoughts of the field, attach importance to the study of textbook content, and enhance the expression of the teacher’s question raising; deepen the guiding ideas, reiterate the theory to guide the practice, reflect the complement of the theoretical practice; be rigorous about thoughts, attach importance to empirical and quantitive combination, improve scientific and appropriate research methods;  develop the logical thinking, focus on the study of results and countermeasures, and manifest the value of research results.

Educational Literature

The educational world is, like the industrial world, in a state of unrest. Many are seriously questioning the values of some subjects that have long been included in the curriculum and the educational literature of lhe day contains numerous suggestions for the relief of real and assumed educational ills. It is important that teachers and administrators should be as careful to discover wherein new theories are unsound as to discard the errors of the past. We must strive to keep our bearings in the midst of the confusion of the day.

Speed Computer

Each time that a mathematics project has been assigned here in the past few years, several students have indicated an interest in computers. Until recently none of the teachers had any training in the computer's use and the school library had no books pertaining to the subject. Last year, within four months after the arrival of a text describing the construction of several homemade computers, boys in an accelerated geometry class turned in three small computers for their term projects.

Multiplication Facts

During the past few years, I have enjoyed reading THE ARITHMETIC TEACHER and THE MATHEMATICS TEACHER very much. Since I am a junior high school mathematics teacher, there are articles in both magazines that are useful and interesting to me. One such article, which dealt with addition and multiplication facts, was “Yahoo—a Game for Fun and Skill” in the April 1967 issue of THE ARITHMETIC TEACHER.1
