Founded in 1904, Huanggang High School in Hubei Province was a key high school in Hubei Province in 1953 and was awarded the title of "Advanced Unit in the National Education System" in 1986. In 2002, it was recognized as an "Advanced Unit in the National Spiritual Civilization Construction."
Huanggang High School upholds the educational philosophy of "people-oriented, virtue-based education" and has formed the distinctive characteristic of "comprehensive and specialized education." It has explored a teaching style of "seeking truth, refinement, uniqueness, and innovation." The outstanding performance in college entrance exams and competitions is the inevitable result of its long-term implementation of quality education, and only one aspect of its abundant teaching achievements.
When it comes to cultivating students, what magic formula does Huanggang High School use? What is its ability to turn sand into a tower? What is its skill to turn stone into gold? These are questions I often hear. If you think Huanggang High School merely follows the of the college entrance exams and passively prepares for exams, that is wrong. Huanggang High School does not advocate rote memorization or passive problem-solving. If it has any exceptional qualities, it lies in its ability to fully understand the intentions of the test setters and deeply grasp their underlying principles, becoming a leader rather than a blind follower.
Huanggang High School does not oppose teachers diving into the sea of problems but strongly advocates students stepping out of it. It opposes students doing mechanical, simple, repetitive, and tedious problems but requires them to do some necessary ones. We encourage students to tackle flexible, diverse, and widely applicable problems, allowing them to enrich their knowledge, develop skills, and enhance their qualities through the process of solving them.
If there is anything else that Huanggang High School has achieved success in, it is that while cultivating and shaping a large number of outstanding students, it has also forged its teaching staff, creating renowned teachers in Hubei Province. These teachers possess profound scientific and cultural literacy, innovative educational concepts, unique teaching styles, artistic skills, and abundant teaching achievements.
To showcase the talents of Huanggang High School teachers and share their teaching results, we have organized first-line core teachers from the school to meticulously plan and compile three series of books: "Huanggang High School Workbook," "Huanggang High School Exam Papers," and "Huanggang High School 2006 College Entrance Exam First and Second Round Training Questions."
The "Huanggang High School Workbook" series is based on the "Teaching Syllabus" and "Exam Syllabus," highlighting the role of "homework" in the process of students forming learning abilities, problem-solving skills, and exam skills. It reflects the inevitable connection between Huanggang High School students' brilliant performance in various exams and their rigorous daily practice. This series has been carefully designed in its format, offering intensive training through four major sections: "Warm-up Before Class," "Homework During Class," "Homework After Class," and "Middle (Senior) High School Exam Online" to enhance students' abilities. It has the following features:
1. Appropriate Exercise Positioning: In the arrangement of exercises, this series focuses on consolidating and progressively improving the knowledge points, exam points, question types, and methods. The positioning of the series is to help students upgrade their problem-solving skills through progressive exercises in ability-based, open-ended, applied, and comprehensive formats.
2. Moderate Difficulty Gradient: The ratio of basic, intermediate, and difficult questions in this series is 6:3:1, suitable for the use of most secondary schools. Most questions are labeled with A, B, or C to indicate their difficulty level, with appropriate and clear requirements.
3. Detailed Solution Hints: The answers at the back of the book are appropriately detailed, with more detailed solutions provided for difficult questions. It is worth mentioning that the timely and insightful hints sometimes play a pivotal role.
This series emphasizes the originality and quality of the exercises, with rigorous review and proofreading at every stage, striving to become a unique gem in the educational supplement market.
