Eastern vs. Western Ways of Teaching Math |
Have you ever heard of the phrase, “Asians are smart” or “Asians are good at math”? Do you believe it? Being a Chinese student studying in an international school, I’m often stuck with these stereotypes. So for my Personal Project, I’ve decided to explore the difference between the Eastern and Western teachings of math and how it can impact a student’s progress and ability in math learning. I wish that with a better understanding, these stereotypes stated earlier can be explained and understood. For my final product, I’ve decided to create a 15-page original hand-drawn book in the style of anime or chibi around this topic through an original character of my own. My global context is Personal and Cultural Expressions, with an exploration of creative arts, which enables me to illustrate the differences between the Eastern and Western cultures in education through a form of my interest - Art.
