ths.” “Oh! __4__” III. 閱讀理解 People often say, “Children can’t do math problem, it’s because parents can’t do their children’s homework.” Here’s an example to show what I mean. The other day my daughter brought home her math homework. “I have to subtract (減 ) 179 from 202,” she said. “It’s quite easy,” I said. “You put the 202 over the 179.” “But we need a 10 here. Where is the 10?” “I don’t know where the 10 is. Let’s just subtract 179 from 202. Nine from two is three. You carry one and add it to seven. Eight from zero is two. The answer is 23.” “We can’t do it that way. We have to use the 10.” “Well, I’m going to call your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from 202.” Over the telephone, I said that I was having a bit of trouble with the home work she had given to my daughter. The teacher said, “In the righthand column (欄 ) we have units of one. The two in that column counts for two ones. The zero in the center counts for zero tens. The two in the lefthand column counts for hundreds. Are you clear?”
