Features: The High Achievers' Breakthrough is the sister series of the premium book Teaching Materials Analysis and Practice by Yanbian Education Press. It is the first book in China to start from the first year of high school, targeting the trends in recent years' college entrance examination (Gaokao) question-setting approaches and increasing the difficulty of ability-based tests. Based on the new teaching materials from the People's Education Press and under the guidance of the editorial departments of various subjects at the People's Education Press, it was co-authored by renowned teachers from famous high schools in Hubei Huanggang, Jiangsu Qidong, Xishan, and Haimen—known as the "Hometown of Gaokao Champions." This series is a comprehensive learning guide designed to help average students improve in all aspects and dimensions, enabling them to smoothly enter top universities. The distinctive features of this series are as follows:
1. Integrating Gaokao Questioning Strategies into Every Chapter
The series reduces content that is "complex, difficult, biased, and outdated" and discourages rote memorization. Fully considering the fact that the Gaokao has been moved to June, the series provides synchronized teaching across all high school grades and a scientific approach to both regular instruction and Gaokao preparation. While strengthening foundational knowledge, it emphasizes the cultivation of abilities required for the Gaokao. It meticulously aligns the core knowledge points of each chapter with the patterns, types, difficulty levels, and ability assessment requirements of past Gaokao questions, as well as the trends in recent years' question-setting. It directly reveals the patterns, testing intentions, and future directions of Gaokao question-setting experts for each chapter, followed by targeted variant exercises. This series saves students 60 days over three years, laying a solid foundation for average students to successfully enter top universities.
2. Focusing on "Classroom Teaching" with Practicality, Emphasizing "Precision, Depth, and Flexibility"
The series fully considers the needs of high school classroom teaching in China, aligning with teaching and learning progress. It features "learn and practice simultaneously," with one exercise per lesson, emphasizing training at key points, skill points, extension points, and divergence points. This makes it convenient for schools to purchase collectively and for individual self-study. Each chapter or unit designs problem scenarios with a strong sense of real life and relevance to students' cognitive levels. By exploring these problems, students are guided to break through key and difficult knowledge points from the textbooks, apply unique methods to solve one problem, analyze a typical example, and summarize the solution patterns for a type of question. This effectively unifies the "practicality, precision, and depth" of the explanations with the "flexibility" of the "shortcuts to upgrading abilities."
3. Focusing on Cultivating Students' Ability to Systematically Master the Internal Connections of Knowledge in Each Subject and to Analyze and Solve Problems
The series carefully designs the internal connections of knowledge for each chapter or unit, including "Comprehensive Methods and Techniques," "Exploration Topics and Case Designs," and "Smart Solutions for Gaokao-Related Question Types." It analyzes and solves difficult problems that create a significant gap in Gaokao comprehensive ability tests or those that students commonly find challenging, such as new concepts, materials, and scenarios. It also creates original exploratory exercises based on social hotspots, focal issues, and new scientific discoveries, applications, and materials, focusing on cultivating students' problem-analysis and problem-solving abilities. This fills the gap in the market for various supplementary books. Using real-world problems as carriers to assess students' comprehensive, exploratory, applied, and innovative abilities is the main theme of Gaokao ability-oriented question-setting in the coming years. Systematically guiding and training middle school students in comprehensive, extended, transferred, exploratory, and applied thinking skills is a new attempt in China.
