Simon 的 "自學"數學方式 vs Reasoning Mind

這份數學學習的報導 讓我想起 中國實驗過的 根據Simon 的 "自學"方式來自己做練習
從其中來學數學 (教師不教 只當輔導員)

WEB-BASED RUSSIAN MATH CURRICULUM SHOWS POSITIVE RESULTS
Reasoning Mind is the brainchild of Alex Khachatryan, a Russian mathematician and scientist who created Reasoning Mind in 2002 after finding his son’s math education disappointing when the family immigrated to the United States. With the help of others, Khachatryan adapted a pencil-and-paper Russian math curriculum into an interactive Web-based program for American students. The program, which starts introducing some algebra and geometry concepts as early as 2nd grade, is designed to teach students in ways that the best teachers teach: adjusting content based on how students respond to the material in real time, and building on knowledge from the previous year’s studies. “To really learn math, it’s not enough to solve simple, routine problems,” Khachatryan says. “The reason why Reasoning Mind works so well,” he adds, “is that it brings together several important things: nonstandard problems to develop thinking skills, lots of interaction between students, individual attention from the teacher, and a solid, coherent curriculum.” The article is in Education Week’s Technology Counts.
