Elementary Mathematics Concept Dictionary 67
Elementary Mathematics Concept Dictionary 67
Description
Book Introduction
A unique elementary math concept dictionary, perfected with 30 years of field expertise.

I have been teaching math to elementary, middle, and high school students, mostly one-on-one, for the past 30 years.
What is unique is that instead of showing the child how to solve the problem directly, only the necessary operations and concepts are taught and the child is left to solve the problem.
However, the concept was not found anywhere in the concept workbook or textbook.
Even books called "concept dictionaries" on the market were merely extensions of textbooks and full of errors.


In the end, I created each concept one by one and arrived at what I am today.
When we taught the children the necessary calculations and concepts they were lacking, most of them showed remarkable results, and in many cases, children who were at the bottom of the school eventually reached the top of the school.
With this confidence, he defined mathematics education as “cultivating persistence using calculations and concepts as tools.”
As you can see if you look around, most of the elementary and middle school concepts will be found only in my books.

Director Cho's One-Line Concept 55
Division (÷) is a symbol created because it was too cumbersome to count how many times the same number was subtracted.

If you ask children, “What is multiplication?”, they will often say, “It’s adding the same number.”
But few children answer the question, “What is division?”
I can't answer this question because I've been teaching it in school for over a month, but I haven't explicitly taught the definition of division.
If you insist that you learned something even though you can't answer, then you don't know what studying is.
Even if a child is a genius, if he or she can't read an easy storybook, how is he or she any different from an idiot?
It is nonsense if a child is solving a word problem about division without being able to verbalize the definition of division.
This is because it does not ask you to do division, but to create a division formula.
This is not a question of computation, it is a question of understanding the concept.
If the child solved the division problem without using the division definition, even if he or she got all the division word problems right, this was all guesswork.
