Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

Chapter 202 About Mathematics

Hearing his mother's teasing, Ruibao's face turned red, "Mom, you are making fun of me."

"No, mother just thinks Ruibao is so cute that mother can never love him enough."

Bai Zhizhi said, took the handkerchief beside her, and carefully wiped his little face again, "Okay, okay, mother, don't say anything, Ruibao, hurry up and finish your homework."

If this continues, it will be dark soon.

After hearing what his mother said, Ruibao quickly sat up straight, rewrote the part he had misunderstood, and then read it several times until he was sure that he had really memorized it.

As the books were put into the schoolbag, Bai Zhizhi slowly let out a breath.

Finally, she is almost done. She had only heard that today's elementary and middle school students have too much homework to finish, but no one told her that the homework in ancient schools was even more.

Why didn’t I realize Ruibao had so much homework before?

Before Bai Zhizhi could figure it out, Ruibao took out another thin booklet from his schoolbag and looked at his mother pitifully.

"What's wrong? Is there something you don't understand?"

Bai Zhizhi said this and quickly took the booklet from the little guy's hand and started flipping through it.

The content seems different from the previous ones, and it is more obscure and difficult to understand. After reading it smoothly, I found that it seems a bit like modern mathematical word problems.

Bai Zhizhi suddenly remembered that when he was in school, he seemed to have learned some ancient arithmetic problems in math class.

I had heard before that mathematics was a necessary subject for the imperial examination, but I didn't expect it to be true.

Bai Zhizhi couldn't help but complain in her heart as she looked at the example methods in the booklet.

This method is really a long way around. There is obviously a simpler and faster way, but you insist on using this dumbest one. Just use it, but write it so complicatedly, and the whole article is full of irrelevant things.

If her eyesight wasn't good, she probably wouldn't have been able to find the point.

"Ruibao can't do these questions?"

Although she was complaining in her heart, Bai Zhizhi still gave her most gentle smile when facing her son.

Ruibao nodded gently, her cheeks flushed slightly. "I didn't understand what the teacher said. I read it several times and still didn't understand it. Mother, can you teach me?"

"Of course it's no problem."

Bai Zhizhi said as she put the booklet on the table and pulled out a clean piece of paper from the side.

"Can I start with this question and explain it to you?"

"it is good."

Ruibao sat up straight again, staring at his mother's hand without blinking.

"Okay, let's take a look at this question first. First of all, this question says..."

Bai Zhizhi pointed at the title and read it word by word, then marked the punctuation marks at the sentence breaks, explained what each small part meant, and finally translated the entire title into vernacular.

Ruibao listened attentively, shaking his little head rhythmically. "Oh, oh, so this is what the question means. I misunderstood it."

"It doesn't matter. As long as Ruibao remembers what mother said, it's fine."

Bai Zhizhi encouraged with a smile, without saying anything accusatory.

It is good enough that the child is willing to learn at this time. As a parent, she should give good guidance instead of making all kinds of accusations that arouse the child's aversion to learning.

"Yeah, yeah, Ruibao has remembered it and will definitely not make the same mistake again."

"Ruibao is awesome."

Bai Zhizhi praised and continued to explain the following content, "Now that we know what the problem is, should we solve it? So how should we do it?"

Ruibao read the question again carefully, picked up the brush with his little hands and kept writing and drawing.

"We should first calculate how much is left, right?"

"Ruibao is so smart! Then continue to read the following content?"

Bai Zhizhi did not tell Ruibao the answer directly, but guided him step by step and let him think about the problem himself.

Ruibao did not disappoint her. His mind worked very quickly and he could always find the answer under guidance and then smile widely.
