Warm-up before class, homework during class; homework after class, online exam prep for the Zhongkao! Established in 1904, Huanggang High School in Hubei Province was designated as a key high school in Hubei in 1953 and awarded the title of "Advanced Unit in the National Education System" in 1986. In 2002, it was recognized as an "Advanced Unit in National Spiritual Civilization Construction."
Huanggang High School upholds the educational philosophy of "people-oriented, virtue-based education" and has developed a distinctive approach to nurturing students with "comprehensive strengths." It has pioneered a teaching style characterized by "seeking truth, refinement, originality, and innovation." Its outstanding performance in college entrance exams and competitions is a natural outcome of its long-term implementation of quality education, though it is merely one aspect of its abundant teaching achievements.
When people ask, "What magic formula does Huanggang High School use to cultivate students? How does it turn sand into a tower? What power does it have to turn stone into gold?"—these are questions I often hear. To think that Huanggang High School merely follows the of college entrance exams and passively prepares for exams is incorrect. 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 grasp the intentions of test setters and deeply understand the underlying principles, positioning itself as a leader rather than a blind follower.
Huanggang High School does not oppose teachers immersing themselves in a sea of problems but strongly encourages students to break free from it. It rejects mechanical, simple, repetitive, and tedious exercises for students but insists on assigning necessary ones. We advocate assigning flexible, diverse, and widely applicable problems, allowing students to enrich their knowledge, develop skills, and enhance their qualities through problem-solving.
If there is anything else that makes Huanggang High School successful, it is that while nurturing and shaping a large number of outstanding students, it has also forged a team of renowned teachers in Hubei Province. These teachers possess deep scientific and cultural literacy, innovative educational concepts, unique teaching styles, artistic flair, and remarkable teaching achievements.
To showcase the talents of Huanggang High School teachers and share their teaching results, we have organized a team of frontline 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 Training Materials (Rounds 1-2)》。
The 《Huanggang High School Workbook》 series is based on the 《Teaching Syllabus》 and 《Exam Syllabus》, highlighting the role of "homework" in helping students develop learning abilities, problem-solving skills, and exam-taking abilities. It reflects the inevitable connection between Huanggang High School students' brilliance in exams and their rigorous daily practice.
This series features a carefully designed format, incorporating four key sections—Warm-up Before Class, Homework During Class, Homework After Class, and Online Exam Prep—to reinforce skills and improve abilities. It also has the following characteristics:
1. Appropriate Exercise Placement: The exercises are arranged to reinforce and progressively enhance the key points, types of questions, and methods associated with each topic. The series aims to elevate students' problem-solving skills through progressive, ability-based, open-ended, applied, and comprehensive exercises.
2. Moderate Difficulty Gradient: The ratio of basic, intermediate, and advanced questions is 6:3:1, suitable for the majority of secondary schools. Most questions are labeled with A, B, or C to indicate difficulty levels, ensuring clarity and appropriateness.
3. Detailed Solution Hints: The answers at the back of the book are well-balanced, with detailed explanations for challenging problems. Notably, the insightful hints provided often serve as the key to solving them.
This series emphasizes the originality and quality of the exercises, with rigorous review and proofreading at every stage, striving to become a standout in the educational supplement market.
