Lesson in UK's math move

According to media reports, the Chinese way of "math teaching" is set to be introduced in the United Kingdom's primary schools.

According to the program, children as young as 5 in more than 8,000 primary schools in England will be required to practise sums and exercises, and they must master each concept before moving on to the next.

The move has its origins in the results of the mathematical ability tests in the Program for International Student Assessment in 2012, in which students from Shanghai ranked top while students from Britain ranked 26th. Since then, England has welcomed over 120 teachers from Shanghai to share the secrets of their success.
