Features: This series of books is written entirely by frontline teachers from Huanggang High School in Hubei Province. It is a teaching guide and after-school workbook designed for students with medium to high academic performance. It is suitable for students with scores above average. It has the following characteristics:
1. Deep Understanding of Educational Reform and Exams
The term "dual mastery" refers to:
- First, "mastery" of the current progress of the new curriculum standards reform.
- Second, "mastery" of the new trends and requirements of the junior high school entrance exams.
This series of books not only selects excellent questions from past junior high school entrance exams but also ensures that all practice questions closely align with the actual exam questions, providing students with more effective guidance. Additionally, the new curriculum standards version included in this series is quite comprehensive, and it is fully written according to the latest textbooks, meeting the needs of different schools and teachers.
2. Highlighting Key Points and Emphasizing Difficulties
This series does not force or deliberately cover all the content requirements of the exam syllabus and textbooks. Simple and basic content that students should know is rarely addressed. Approximately 90% of the content in this book focuses on medium and above-difficulty questions. The principle followed in setting the difficulty level of exercises is:
- Foundation (Consolidation): 3
- Intermediate (Improvement): 3
- Advanced (Enhancement): 4
This is a key distinction from general synchronous teaching guides, after-school exercises, and workbooks in terms of exercise arrangement.
3. Flexible Application of Knowledge
To align with the new curriculum standards' goal of cultivating students' ability to flexibly apply knowledge, this series emphasizes difficulties while also introducing many comprehensive questions. This helps readers develop the habit of comprehensively considering and solving problems during synchronous learning. This approach fully meets the requirements of educational reform in terms of quality improvement.
4. Focusing on Daily Practice and Improvement
Exercises in this series include "Mid-term Test Questions" and "Final Test Questions," with most also featuring "Unit Test Questions." Considering the specific needs of certain subjects and grades, there are also sections on "Analysis of Innovative Questions," "Extracurricular Creative Questions," and "Clicking into Junior High School Entrance Exam Questions." Students can practice in class or after school with the guidance of teachers or independently take tests. By carefully designed questions, we believe students can gradually improve their abilities through regular homework and exercises.
Overall, this series is designed for students with medium to high academic performance in key high schools across provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions. It fully meets the teaching and learning needs of students and middle school teachers.
