Some of you who have small children may have perhaps been put in the embarrassing position of being unable to do your child's arithmetic homework because of the current revolution in mathematics
Hing known as the new math. so as a public service here tonight i thought i would offer a brief lesson in the new math. tonight we're going to cover subtraction. this is the first room i've work
R a while that didn't have a blackboard so we will have to make due with more primitive visual aids, as they say in the "ad biz." consider the following subtraction problem, which i wi
T up here:342 - 173.
Now remember how we used to do that. three from two is nine; carry the one, and if you're under 35 or went to a private school you say seven from three is six, but if you're over 35 and went to
Lic school you say eight from four is six; carry the one so we have 169, but in the new approach, as you know, the important thing is to understand what you're doing rather than to get the right
Er. here's how they do it now.
You can't take three from two,
Two is less than three,
So you look at the four in the tens place.
Now that's really four tens,
So you make it three tens,
Regroup, and you change a ten to ten ones,
And you add them to the two and get twelve,
And you take away three, that's nine.
Is that clear?
Now instead of four in the tens place
You've got three,
'cause you added one,
That is to say, ten, to the two,
But you can't take seven from three,
So you look in the hundreds place.
From the three you then use one
To make ten ones...
(and you know why four plus minus one
Plus ten is fourteen minus one?
'cause addition is commutative, right.)
And so you have thirteen tens,
And you take away seven,
And that leaves five...
Well, six actually.
But the idea is the important thing.
Now go back to the hundreds place,
And you're left with two.
And you take away one from two,
And that leaves...?
Everybody get one?
Not bad for the first day!
Hooray for new math,
New-hoo-hoo-math,
It won't do you a bit of good to review math.
It's so simple,
So very simple,
That only a child can do it!
Now that actually is not the answer that i had in mind, because the book that i got this problem out of wants you to do it in base eight. but don't panic. base eight is just like base ten really
You're missing two fingers. shall we have a go at it? hang on.
You can't take three from two,
Two is less than three,
So you look at the four in the eights place.
Now that's really four eights,
So you make it three eights,
Regroup, and you change an eight to eight ones,
And you add them to the two,
And you get one-two base eight,
Which is ten base ten,
And you take away three, that's seven.
Now instead of four in the eights place
You've got three,
'cause you added one,
That is to say, eight, to the two,
But you can't take seven from three,
So you look at the sixty-fours.
"sixty-four? how did sixty-four get into it?" i hear you cry.
Well, sixty-four is eight squared, don't you see?
(well, you ask a silly question, and you get a silly answer.)
From the three you then use one
To make eight ones,
And you add those ones to the three,
And you get one-three base eight,
Or, in other words,
In base ten you have eleven,
And you take away seven,
And seven from eleven is four.
Now go back to the sixty-fours,
And you're left with two,
And you take away one from two,
And that leaves...?
Now, let's not always see the same hands.
One, that's right!
Whoever got one can stay after the show and clean the erasers.
Hooray for new math,
New-hoo-hoo-math,
It won't do you a bit of good to review math.
It's so simple,
So very simple,
That only a child can do it!
Come back tomorrow night. we're gonna do fractions.

🌍 纯翻译歌词

你们中有些为人父母者,或许正因数学界这场革新运动而陷入尴尬境地——竟无法辅导孩子的算术作业
这就是所谓的新数学。今晚我愿以公益之心,为大家简要讲解这套新算法。今晚我们要学习减法。这是我久违的
没有黑板的演播室,只能如广告界所言,借助更原始的视觉教具。请看这道减法题,我将
写在这里:342减173
还记得传统算法吗?二减三得九;借位后,35岁以下或私立学校出身者会说三减七得六,但35岁以上公立学校
毕业生会称四减八得六;再借位得169。但新式教学的精髓在于理解过程而非追求
正确答案。现在请看现代解法
二减三不可行
二小于三
于是你看向十位的四
那实际是四个十
所以拆成三个十
重组后将一个十转为十个一
加给个位得到十二
再减三得九
明白了吗?
现在十位数
只剩三
因为你借走了一
也就是十个一给了个位
但三减七仍不够
于是看向百位
从三百中借一百
化作十个十...
(可知为何四加负一
再加十等于十四减一?
因加法满足交换律)
现在有十三个十
减去七
剩下五...
其实是六
但理解原理才是关键
回到百位数
还剩二
二减一
得多少?
都算出来了吗?
首日教学还算顺利!
新数学万岁
新~数~学
复习旧算法毫无意义
如此简单
简单至极
孩童都能掌握!
这并非标准答案,因教材要求用八进制计算。别慌,八进制与十进制原理相同
只是少了两个手指。要试试吗?稍等
二减三不可行
二小于三
于是看向八分位的四
那是四个八
拆成三个八
重组后将一个八转为八个一
加给个位
得到八进制的12
即十进制的十
减三得七
现在八分位
只剩三
因你借走了
一个八给了个位
但三减七仍不够
于是看向六十四分位
"六十四?哪来的?"你或许要问
六十四是八的平方懂吗?
(荒唐问题自然得到荒唐答案)
从三百中借一百
化作八个八
加给十位
得到八进制的13
或者说
十进制十一
减七
十一减七得四
回到六十四分位
还剩二
二减一
得多少?
别总让相同的人回答
一,正确!
答对者请留堂擦黑板
新数学万岁
新~数~学
复习旧算法毫无意义
如此简单
简单至极
孩童都能掌握!
明晚继续学习分数
常想写本数学教材,因有个能卖百万册的书名——《微积分热带》
