After reading Ma Xiaotiao Playing Mathematics 2

This winter vacation, I watched "Ma Xiaotiao Plays Mathematics 2". "Ma Xiaotiao Plays Mathematics 2" written by teacher Yang Hongying is very popular among our primary school students. The book tells the story of Ma Xiaotiao using mathematical knowledge to solve mathematical problems encountered in life.

To be honest, I was really not very interested in math storybooks before. However, this book was said to be magical by the promotional slogan, so I couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I opened it and read it. I flipped through it aimlessly, and gradually I found that every story was so attractive, and there were so many different ways to solve problems in it, which made me feel very novel. It turns out that boring numbers can also form interesting questions! My interest in this book is getting stronger and stronger. I read the story and studied math at the same time.

There are 80 interesting mathematical stories in the book, such as "The Great Detective". The one that fascinates me the most is "Wonderful Dance Formations", which tells the story of a ballet team rehearsing a program. The first team is divided into two teams, with 12 and 11 people respectively. Each team is required to line up in 6 lines, with 4 people in each line. Xia Linguo didn't know how to arrange it, but Ma Xiaotiao and Lu Manman helped her solve it, and they also made me understand how to arrange it.

I like this book very much because it allows me to understand a lot of problem-solving tips that I didn’t know before. For example, a tree is planted every 5 meters on a 100-meter fence. We often plant 20 trees without thinking, but forget about them at both ends, so the number of trees planted is one more than the section, which is 21 trees.

This book makes me more and more interested in mathematics! It allows us to learn through play and play while learning, making reading no longer boring. It also allows us to understand that mathematics is everywhere in life.
