Golden Combination: Theory and Practice (Curriculum Standards Edition) for junior high school, is developed in accordance with the newly issued Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education by the Ministry of Education, as well as the Experimental Textbooks for Compulsory Education by People's Education Press, Beijing Normal University Press, and East China Normal University Press. To help readers make the most of this workbook, its features are introduced below.
"Golden" is a synonym for "excellent" or "superior." This workbook optimizes the design in various aspects, such as the pairing of theory and practice, synchronization and problem classification, knowledge points and key/difficult points, basic, intermediate, and challenging questions, lesson-based and unit-based comprehensive exercises, and teacher-student collaboration. Hence, it is called the "Golden Combination."
The workbook is organized with one side for theory paired with one side for practice. "Theory and Practice on One Page" also implies teaching and practicing simultaneously or face-to-face interaction between teachers and students. In terms of design, one side of theory and one side of practice form a single page, each marked with cutting lines. The pages are detachable and independent, making them more convenient than loose-leaf pages for students to use, hand in assignments, teachers to grade, and parents to review.
In content planning, it does not simply involve assigning exercises after completing a lesson, as such exercises are already provided in the textbooks as after-class practice questions. Instead, students need workbooks that, under the premise of synchronization, categorize the knowledge system of a chapter into several complete problem sets for detailed explanations, followed by exercises based on these categorized problems. This format significantly enhances the purposefulness, comprehensiveness, and test-preparation relevance of both explanations and exercises. After using this workbook, students will undoubtedly improve their method application and comprehensive abilities rapidly.
Golden Combination: Theory and Practice is developed based on student needs. Its superiority surpasses that of ordinary workbooks. The form is theory and practice on one page, and the content is categorized problem-based exercises under the premise of synchronization. Therefore, this workbook perfectly combines the two—teaching through problems, guiding practice with theory, and prioritizing practice.
Teaching through problems means using problems to explain knowledge, methods, and abilities.
Guiding practice with theory means using problems to test knowledge, the application of methods, and abilities, improving comprehensive skills, innovative awareness, and test-taking abilities through post-explanation exercises.
Prioritizing practice means providing synchronized exercises (with separate lesson-based practice for the Chinese subject), unit comprehensive exercises, mid-term tests, and final tests to meet the needs of students of varying levels.
The difficulty of the exercises focuses on basic questions while emphasizing intermediate and more challenging questions as key areas.
This workbook is suitable for students of intermediate and above levels. Due to its strong synchronization and convenient cutting, it can be used in classroom teaching, as well as for post-class review and parent tutoring. Since it is categorized and synchronized, it is also suitable for regions using textbooks other than those by People's Education Press.
Having this workbook is like having a great teacher as a companion, and with this guide, your June dreams will surely come true.
