Girls these days, all they think about is unicorns...
If this continues, it is not a good sign. As a little angel of justice, we should find a way to sound the alarm.
Elena glanced meaningfully at the Hogwarts girls surrounding Luna, and an incomprehensible and mysterious smile appeared on her face. The object of close contact this time was a little unicorn, but it didn't mean that every time after that, the object of close contact was a little unicorn.
All of them.
Why do these innocent children at Hogwarts always fail to understand this obvious truth?
Of course, popularizing the knowledge about magical animals is one thing. The most important purpose is to let those coveting bitches who covet and get close to her wings know through such comparisons that casual conversation, patting and feeding may trigger strange branching endings.
As for the lucky little witch who will have the next "intimate encounter", naturally she will randomly select a few good ones from the senior senior sisters who have been chatting and getting close to Luna, Hannah and Hermione all day long, and laughing extremely happily.
.
After silently taking out a small book and making arrangements for the few little witches who were asking about the next opportunity to shoot magical animals, Elena turned her attention to the faculty seat located at the innermost part of the auditorium.
Although the past few days were not particularly pleasant and peaceful for Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, when they saw the article that had been revised and guided by them printed out, the two of them could not help but smile with joy and pride.
.
Professor Sprout and Professor Snape, who were beside them, also had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
After reaching the level of a formal professor at Hogwarts, what you need to pursue is not only the improvement of personal abilities, but also the cultivation of students and your contribution to the professional education of this subject.
There is no doubt that compared with the past scattered, unsystematic and large-scale random submissions.
The academic section now opened up on "The New Quibbler" is a very suitable place for professors to publish their own research results and to guide students to publish excellent academic articles in a unified way - not to mention, through this window, you can also ask the magicians
Showcase the outstanding teaching achievements of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to the world.
Facts have proved that the students at Hogwarts are not unintelligent, and their overall academic level has not declined at all.
It's just that there was a lack of clear goals and systematic guidance and planning before this, so it didn't look so eye-catching. In the past few years, there have been voices in the wizarding world questioning the teaching standards of Hogwarts.
Now, although the magic research papers published by Percy and others still look a bit immature, they are enough to answer all the doubts from the outside world. Many professors have already begun to think about what topics they should assign to students in the next period.
wrote.
Not only is it limited to paper writing, principals and dean-level faculty such as Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape consider more aspects than mere "discipline leaders".
More, more comprehensive.
For example...
If you want to select the male and female prefects of each college, then you must at least publish a basic magic research article in the "Into Magic" section.
If you want to select the male and female student presidents of Hogwarts, you need to have published more than three magic papers in total, which are equal to or higher than "Into Magic", and have been promoted to the headlines of the section at least once.
If you want to obtain the qualification of an outstanding graduate after graduation and get a letter of introduction from the school's professors, you also need...
All in all, after such a successful test, many professors at Hogwarts have become more active and plan to take this opportunity to continue and spread this excellent academic method and their own educational achievements.
.
Regarding the new ideas of the professors, the young wizards are not very interested yet.
To be precise, even if they know, except for a few students who are obsessed with their prefects and student union presidents, most young wizards will not feel that these things have much to do with themselves.
After breakfast, the students began to gradually follow the secret passages introduced by the Weasley twins and explore around Hogwarts Castle, including the forbidden areas that Filch had warned about before. There were also many brave little wizards there.
Wandering nearby.
Fortunately, due to the power of "public execution" held by Filch, most of the young wizards just looked outside and did not dare to go in. As the castle administrator, Argus
?Filch can intuitively feel that since the release of "The New Quibbler", the little wizards are much more disciplined than before.
What makes Elena even more satisfied is that starting in the afternoon, people began to notice the "Easter Egg Section" she had hidden in "The New Quibbler" - an introduction to the basics of elementary mathematics and interesting trivia questions and answers.
The familiar and simple explanation of the problem of "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" instantly reminded people of the problems in this year's Eagle Ring.
Since the beginning of this semester, the ever-changing and weird "cage" title of the bronze eagle ring has been a big obstacle that prevents Ravenclaw students from returning to their dormitories to sleep. Many poor little eagles sleep in the corridors even
It takes twice as long as sleeping in bed.
As a house in Hogwarts known for its wisdom, all Ravenclaw students know that the question of the Eagle Ring is actually an infinite variation of an arithmetic problem, because Hogwarts still has two courses: arithmetic, divination and astronomy.
of course.
However, knowing what it is and what category it belongs to does not mean knowing the solution behind each question.
In particular, Elena's ability to explain things in simple terms and lay a solid foundation for mathematics step by step is something that has never been seen in the magic world before, and is even rare in European primary and secondary education in this era.
Considering that many children from wizarding families in the magical world do not have primary school education, not to mention some problem-solving methods that require more skills, there may be certain problems with even some basic four arithmetic operations.
Therefore, Elena specially spent half of the space in this issue of "New Quibbler-Mathematics Section" and moved an entire multiplication table to it. As for the interesting trivia section, it is naturally a favorite of chickens and rabbits.
Cage problem.
For a time, this boring digital table content that other colleges and wizards thought was dizzying became the content that every Ravenclaw student paid most attention to - what to do alone in the face of the temptation to go home?
Horned beasts, secret passages, and delicious food are all secondary. They have almost forgotten what a soft dormitory bed looks like.
The Ravenclaw table that night was undoubtedly the happiest place in the entire Hogwarts. Every little wizard had a pure and proud smile on his face. Everyone was enjoying the food in a relaxed mood and no longer had to think about tonight.
The question of how to get in.
In addition, the nine-nine multiplication table, which is full of mysterious beauty and mathematical rhythm, has also become the most discussed thing among Ravenclaw students - almost everyone lowers his head and recites a few words silently from time to time, and feels it carefully.
After the optimization of the algorithm, it has brought about an essential leap in calculation speed.
But this time, the other three colleges were a little confused.
Due to the difference between interests and college atmosphere, except for Ravenclaw House, there are not many children from other houses who can understand the fun of the number maze that is like a bible.
You know, before this, although the little guys in Ravenclaw would come up with some difficult and philosophical words from time to time, at least they still sounded understandable "human words", and this was less than half a day.
The entire college has become a sea of mathematical enlightenment.
If you get a little closer, you can hear that from time to time a little wizard is whispering sentences like magic spells.
"One one makes one, one two makes two..."
"Two and three make six, two and four make eight..."
Not that Elena cast any magic in the magazine.
Mainly because before this, the calculation methods used daily in the wizarding world, or in Europe, were too weird - normal addition and subtraction were fine, but when it came to multiplication and division, the whole style began to become cheerful.
Whether it is the twelve-base multiplication table from the UK, or the decimal multiplication calculation method introduced from the East, these are usually contents that you have to wait until before and after the college entrance examination (A-level), and before that there are
A level called the GCSE.
But even for the preliminary examination, in the non-magical world, you still have to wait until you are sixteen.
For children in the magical world, this time is actually equivalent to the age of sixth grade students at Hogwarts. It is conceivable that even if the mathematics progress from the non-magical world is synchronized, it will not be
What profound knowledge.
In fact, if Elena remembers correctly, even after entering the preliminary examination stage, when British students face "complex multiplication operations", that is, multiplication operations with more than two digits, in addition to using calculators (obviously
, Hogwarts does not support this form), and relies more on the legendary method of drawing lines and counting points.
What is the method of drawing lines and counting points?
For example, it is roughly 12X11. Then British children will first draw a vertical line to represent 10, and then draw two vertical lines to represent 2. "12" is represented like this: (picture.jpg)
Then draw two horizontal lines to represent "11": (Picture 2.jpg)
Then start to find the intersection points of these lines. Count the points starting from the lower right corner. The intersection points are from the lower right corner to the lower left corner. The units are in order: tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand: (Picture 3.jpg)
When counting, if there are more than 10, just add one digit and mark it next to it.
Therefore, 12X11=132.(Picture 4.jpg)
In fact, this algorithm called "Linear Algebra (pseudo)" may seem a bit fun at first glance, but for British children who hate rote memorization, they only need to be able to count a few points, and there is no need to memorize anything complicated and difficult to memorize.
Multiplication table.
In fact, in the original book, when Harry, Ron and others were dealing with astronomy homework and calculating star trajectories, the horizontal and vertical lines on the sheepskin spread out on the table were doing multiplication drafts.
However, the only small problem with this method is that as the number expands or the lower half of the number appears frequently, just counting the dots can make people feel like they are dying - for example, 998
When a situation like this occurs when multiplied by 777...
Perhaps in the eyes of the little lions of Gryffindor, happily drawing lines and counting dots is still the most comfortable way of calculation.
However, for Ravenclaw students who pursue higher pursuits in wisdom and skills, knowledge similar to this kind of mastering algorithm keys, which can solve more complicated problems and find the correct answers more quickly, is undoubtedly the most fascinating.
exist.
At least the most obvious change is that as long as they master arithmetic, divination, and astronomy from now on, Ravenclaw will be far away from the students of the other three colleges - whether it is calculation speed or astronomy.
is the calculation accuracy.
In this way, in a joyful atmosphere, the little wizards of Ravenclaw were chatting quietly, silently reciting the "Nine-Nine Multiplication Table", and left the Hogwarts Great Hall with brisk steps. Everyone looked at each other.
The city is filled with thoughts of a better future.
Very good, it seems that the little eagles of Ravenclaw have already tasted a little bit of the sweetness.
Elena glanced at the Ravenclaw students who were immersed in the charm of mathematics, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised in pleasure.
In the following time, she will also secretly ask the house elves to update some question banks next to the Eagle Ring in Ravenclaw Academy, but the overall difficulty is constant enough to be able to be solved by the multiplication table, and some relatively basic mathematics questions and answers.
That's all.
Just like fishing on the lake, if you are too rough at the beginning, it is easy to scare these timid children away.
Only by putting in some bait a little bit first, so that they all taste some sweetness, and after they have confidence in themselves, is the time to really open the door to the palace of mathematics for them.
Of course, for Elena, these are just issues that need to be slowly polished and thought about as the subsequent impact of the magazine is fermenting. She is not in a rush to arrange them all in a short time.
After a busy week, she just wanted to eat and drink and be a little witch with nothing to do.
That night, a small-scale celebration party was held in the Hogwarts kitchen.
In addition to Elena and her little wings, the Weasley boys who provided the manuscript, top students from various colleges, and even the castle administrator Argus Filch also received invitations.
While celebrating the successful publication of "The New Quibbler", Elena also paid her royalties on the spot for this week.
Accompanied by the aroma of barbecue, the fragrance of butterbeer, and the pleasant sound of gold galleons, even Argus Filch, who always had a stern face, showed a rare smile.
After serving as an administrator at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for so many years, he has never received so much attention from the wizarding world.
More importantly, Elena Kaslana is really too generous. With so much extra income, he can finally consider buying a whole new set of cat toys for Mrs. Loris.
Litter box and cat litter box.
Of course, another reason is that the kebabs baked by Elena are so delicious - most people will be in a better mood in front of delicious food.
Even Argus Filch as an adult was like this, not to mention the little wizards who had not yet graduated. Everyone was so excited, even Percy Weasley, who had always been steady, couldn't help it.
They showed off their singing voices in the kitchen space, and the two brothers George and Fred held hands and performed a tap dance...
Facing the rare lively and joyful scene in the kitchen, Elena, who was responsible for the barbecue, narrowed her eyes happily, while turning the barbecue in her hand, she hummed the melody of a song that no one had ever heard before.
Not far away, Hermione, under the guidance of Hannah, was clumsily turning in circles in response to the scattered beats played by Argus Filch's hands, carefully avoiding bumping into the Weasley twins next to her.
He danced the jazz dance he had just learned with a nervous look on his face.
In the bustling kitchen, a white light flashed from time to time. It was Luna holding her beloved camera to capture the precious moments she thought were worth preserving...
Amid the laughter and the aroma of barbecue, the first day of the release of "The New Quibbler" came to a perfect end.
