英国推行九九乘法表升级版 2020年将成为强制性考试

Supporters have hailed the new test, saying it contributes to a grasp of fundamental math.

支持者们对这项新测试表示欢迎，认为它对掌握基础数学有帮助。

“We have been teaching [the] times tables in our after school class for over 35 years and without doubt it is the most important skill we give our students,” a reader, whose screen name is “mad scientist,” wrote in a comment on the BBC's website.

网友“mad scientist”在英国广播公司网站上评论道：“我们的课后班教乘法口诀表已经超过35年了，毫无疑问，这是我们传授给学生最重要的技能。”

“I still don't know them, and it's been a source of embarrassment to me ever since,” boundah, another reader, said on the same website.

网友“boundah”也在该网站留言称：“我现在还不会乘法表，这一直让我很尴尬。”

“Happy for the British pupils! They will do an even better job than their Chinese peers,” said scorpion_wa on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo.

国内微博网友“scorpion_wa”称：“为英国小学生感到开心！他们的数学要超过中国小学生了。”

However, not everyone is pleased with the move.

“There are so many things wrong with math education in this country that a times table test is really just picking at a sore,” said Mike Cameron on Twitter.
