Features: This series of exercise books is our first collaboration with a national-level publishing house for middle school students. It essentially reflects the teaching practices and experience in talent development and remedial teaching at our school. It is authentic and is expected to be favored by a broad readership. Based on the New Teaching Syllabus and Examination Guidelines, the series innovates in its format design, including sub-sections such as [Review and Reinforce], [Classroom Homework], [After-School Homework], and [Olympiad Links]. The exercises are designed with innovation, featuring a fresh, contemporary feel. They emphasize novelty in test purpose, content structure, scenario creation, question phrasing, and open-ended exploration, striving to reflect the new trends of curriculum, teaching, and examination reforms. They are suitable for regions, schools, and students of varying levels, helping to solidify foundational knowledge while enhancing learning and exam-taking skills.
During the writing process, the following guiding principles and features were fully highlighted:
1. Hierarchical and Progressive Topic Structure: The series has been carefully designed to accommodate the teaching realities of underdeveloped regions in central and western China and the diverse needs of middle school teachers and students. Each question is marked with hollow letters A, B, or C at the beginning to indicate its approximate difficulty level, facilitating differentiated instruction and improving the efficiency of practice.
2. Practical and Effective Lesson-Based Design: The most distinctive feature of this series compared to traditional teaching aids is its lesson-based exercise design, ensuring synchronization with subject teaching, practicality, and effectiveness. It emphasizes "learning through practice," focusing on what and how to practice in each lesson.
3. Detailed and Standardized Solution Guidance: The answers and explanations are thorough and detailed, highlighting key knowledge points and basic methods, while also providing problem-solving techniques. This addresses both "how to solve" and "how to think about solving" the problem, making it widely applicable. Additionally, each exercise specifies the recommended time and scoring criteria, enabling students to practice independently and effectively improve their performance. Thus, this workbook can also serve as a self-assessment tool for students.
4. Innovative and Extraordinary Educational Philosophy: The series fully reflects the requirements of the new curriculum and teaching reforms, embodying the teaching philosophy and educational concepts of the new curriculum. It showcases extraordinary thinking. The selection of questions follows a principle of combining originality with classics, with most exercises emphasizing novelty and a fresh, contemporary feel. Efforts are made to strengthen the development and research of ability-based, open-ended, and comprehensive questions, with each subject workbook including a certain number of newly created original questions by the authors.
The Qidong Middle School Exercise Books is a high-level, synchronized, in-class training workbook. It evaluates questions based on the three aspects of examination objectives, key points, and question types, while also providing guidance and analysis on problem-solving methods and techniques. It is an outstanding supplementary material for students in both junior and senior high school, serving as an excellent tool for practice and examination preparation.
