With Kong Hwa Students

Today we went to the Kong Hwa School to observe mathematics classrooms and discuss educational strategies with the faculty. We were able to sit in on three classes and then spent an hour afterwards discussing our observations with the teachers. We saw lessons on decimal multiplication and division for both grade 4 and grade 5 students. The teachers focused on mental math and quick, precise answers (including units, if necessary.)
We were most impressed with the level of dedication of the students. At one point, the teacher randomly called on a student for an answer. The boy did not have the problem completed, so he stood to finish the work using paper and pencil. After about a minute, the teacher left the boy standing and went on to the next problem by calling on another student. The boy continued standing and working on the problem as the class went on with the lesson. The student worked for 10 full minutes until he arrived at an answer. He then raised his hand to indicate that he was ready. The teacher called on the student and he explained the answer and his thinking process. We were both in awe of the attention to detail and perseverance displayed by the 10 year old boy. We were so impressed that at the end of class, we asked to take his picture.
