A Washington, D.C., school teacher has been sacked after she set inappropriate homework to her third-grade class.
美國華盛頓的一位數(shù)學(xué)老師由于給三年級(jí)學(xué)生出題太暴力而被開除。

The unnamed teacher, from Trinidad Centre City School, gave the students a number of maths problems framed around violent and illegal scenarios. The problems deal with gruesome shootings, killings and one even talks about cooking Africans in ovens.
這位老師的名字被沒有透露，只知道是來自Trinidad中心學(xué)校的一位老師。她所出的數(shù)學(xué)題涉及了暴力和非法場(chǎng)景，包括恐怖的槍殺、殺人場(chǎng)景，甚至還有把非洲人放進(jìn)烤箱里的問題。

One reads: ‘I was sleeping one night when a hungry vampire sucked 3652 liters of blood from me and 1865 liters of blood from my little brother. How much blood did the hungry vampire drink that night?’
比如有一道題是這樣的：“一天晚上我在睡覺。一個(gè)饑餓的吸血鬼吸食我3652升血，吸食我弟弟1865升。這名吸血鬼那晚共吸食多少升血？”

Another reads: ‘I took a nap in a bog one day and woke up screaming. 3796 leeches, 2910 fleas and 1044 vampire bats were stuck to my bald head drinking my blood in ecstasy. How many bloodthirsty bloodsuckers were dining on my head?’
還有一題題目是：“一天我在一片沼澤地里打瞌睡，我醒來的時(shí)候不得不驚叫連連，因?yàn)橛?796只水蛭、2910只跳蚤和1044只吸血蝙蝠在我光禿禿的腦袋上吸我的血。問一共有多少只吸血?jiǎng)游镌谖业难俊?/div>

Some are incredibly morbid: ‘John's father gave him 1359 marbles on his birthday. John swallowed 585 marbles and died. 9 of John's friends came for his funeral the next day. John's grieving father gave the remaining marbles to John's friends in equal numbers. How many marbles did each friend get?’
還有一些題目更加變態(tài)，比如“約翰的父親給他1359顆彈珠。他吞下585顆后死亡。9個(gè)朋友來參加葬禮，約翰的父親把剩余彈珠均分給他們，每人得到多少顆？”

The worksheets of the maths problems can be downloaded from a website called Homeschooling Paradise. The creator of the website Chris Murphy said that he was tired of hearing kids saying maths was their least favourite subject so he wanted to create problems that were free for teachers and parents all over the world to use. He added that he wanted to make them exciting so that kids would get into maths and love it.
這些數(shù)學(xué)題是在一家名為“作業(yè)天堂”的網(wǎng)站上出現(xiàn)的，并且提供下載。該網(wǎng)站的建立者表示，他已經(jīng)聽夠了孩子們說數(shù)學(xué)是他們最討厭的科目了，所以他想建立一個(gè)網(wǎng)站可以讓大家把有趣好玩的題目上傳上去，供全世界的老師和家長使用。他希望孩子可以覺得數(shù)學(xué)題很有意思，從而讓他們愛上數(shù)學(xué)。

滬江小編：還記得我們小時(shí)候的數(shù)學(xué)題都是“小明買了1個(gè)西瓜、2個(gè)梨和4個(gè)蘋果，請(qǐng)問小明買了多少水果？”這樣的題目。而現(xiàn)在的孩子竟然要面對(duì)如此血腥暴力的題目！要增加學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)積極性不是靠這些驚悚恐怖的題目，而是要靠老師對(duì)學(xué)生的關(guān)心和對(duì)教育的奉獻(xiàn)！如果你是數(shù)學(xué)老師，你會(huì)出什么樣的題目來提高學(xué)生的興趣呢？
