Shen Nuo Fei provided the answers to all the questions.

Correct!

100 points!

After assessment by several math teachers, and considering their comprehensive evaluation of algebra, geometry, and other mathematical knowledge, Shen Nuo Fei's math skills have reached the level of the second half of the fourth grade!

Although Shen Nuo Fei can't yet write out simple equations to solve problems, her mental arithmetic skills are already approaching those of fifth or sixth graders!

"Like father, like daughter!"

"A prestigious mathematical family, a prodigy girl."

The math teachers were initially amazed, but then thought that this was probably just standard practice for the daughter of Fields Medal winner.

The math teachers' emotions shifted from exclamation marks to sentences, from excitement to calm.

"Shen Nuo Fei should just skip to fifth grade and come to my class, Class 5(1). There's no need for her to start from first grade math. What do you think, Teacher Yuan?" said Teacher Yu, the fifth-grade math teacher.

Teacher Yuan rejected her colleague's proposal. "We can't do it that way. Although Shen Nuo Fei's math level is above fourth grade, her mental age is still around five, six at most. My suggestion is that Shen Nuo Fei continue studying in Class 1(2), but in terms of math, we can recruit her into the Pomegranate Math Class to give her special math training. As Academician Shen said, equations are something that elementary school math teachers can teach."

"Teacher Yuan, I think it's still..."

"Oh dear, it's time. I have to take Nofi back to Yang Xiuqin. Everyone, you've all seen Nofi's math skills. When we send her to the Pomegranate Math Class, a few of you should stand up and say a few fair words. I'm off now, see you later."

Yuan Haibo led Shen Nuo Fei away from the mathematics teaching and research group office and headed towards the classroom of Class 1(2).

For Shen Nuo Fei, the past half hour consisted of eating a chicken leg and doing a few math problems—that was all, simple and joyful.

Yuan Haibo, however, had many more thoughts on his mind. He was happy, but his life was far from simple.

Arriving at the classroom door of Class 1(2), Shen Nuo Fei looked up and politely said, "Teacher Yuan, bye-bye, thank you for treating me to chicken legs."

Yuan Haibo patted Shen Nuo Fei's head and laughed, "If you're willing, I'll treat you to chicken legs every day."

"Fried chicken legs and roasted chicken legs aren't good to eat too much of, Shen Nuo Fei, you should eat less of them," Yang Xiuqin said, then told Shen Nuo Fei to go back to the classroom first, while she continued talking with Yuan Haibo at the classroom door.

Shen Nuo Fei was taken out alone, and all the students in the class saw it.

Xu Silin asked her deskmate with concern, "Shen Nuo Fei, did the teacher scold you?"

Shen Nuo Fei chuckled, "No, Teacher Yuan treated me to chicken legs."

"Huh? Why?" Xu Silin asked again.

Shen Nuo Fei thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because I'm pretty."

"You're so vain." Xu Silin poked Shen Nuo Fei's waist, making Shen Nuo Fei giggle.

School ends at 5:30.

The main gate of the Wangfu campus of Second Experimental Primary School was packed with cars and parents.

Long ago, most first and second graders could go to school and come home by themselves. Playful kids would sometimes run to the arcade on their way home to play a few rounds of Street Fighter, and then return home safely for dinner.

Society is changing. Nowadays, many students at the Xicheng campuses of Second Experimental Primary School do not live near the school. Only a small portion of the students are from the Xicheng area; the majority come from other districts.

For example, Shen Nuo Fei lives in Haidian District, and her parents or Aunt Cuiping pick her up and drop her off at school.

On Shen Nuo Fei's first day of elementary school, her father picked her up from school.

Before Shen Qi met Shen Nuo Fei, he encountered Yuan Haibo.

Yuan Haibo very politely invited Shen Qi to the school, and the two chatted.

Shen Qi had already investigated Yuan Haibo's ancestors for eighteen generations, so he chatted with Yuan Haibo quite familiarly.

Shen Qi investigated not only Yuan Haibo's ancestors for eighteen generations, but also the personal experiences and ancestors of all the teachers and staff of Second Experimental Primary School, including his daughter's homeroom teacher Yang Xiuqin, music Teacher Fu Teacher Ouyang, art teacher Fu, physical education Teacher Wu, and so on.

The survey results show that these teachers and staff are honest, friendly, Patriotism and Dedication, making them excellent teachers that parents can trust.

Yuan Haibo said, "Academician Shen, I'm your fan. Almost every mathematician and mathematics teacher under forty in China is your fan. Since a fan has met their idol, I'll be frank. Today, our mathematics teaching and research group is giving your daughter Shen Nuo Fei, a math test..."

"... Therefore, we unanimously believe that Shen Nuo Fei possesses the mathematical abilities of a fourth-grade student, and we wish to make an exception and admit her into the Pomegranate Math Class. Therefore, we are seeking your opinion, Academician Shen."

Shen Qi knew his daughter's capabilities very well; he had tested Shen Nuo Fei's math skills before the start of the school year.

Overall, Shen Qi also believes that Nofi's current math level is equivalent to that of the best fourth-grade student in math.

"Is the Pomegranate Math Class at the main campus of No. 2 Primary School?" Shen Qi asked.

Yuan Haibo nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the Pomegranate Math Class, Forsythia Composition Class, Gourd Date English Class, Tianmu Qionghua Science Class —all these extracurricular classes are at the main campus. Academician Shen, you don't need to worry about the specific arrangements; we will handle things flexibly."

Second Experimental Primary School has its own campus culture. Pomegranate, forsythia, jujube, and Tianmu viburnum are the school's mascots, and these plants are planted all over the school, making it lush and green.

The extracurricular classes at Second Experimental Primary School, such as the Pomegranate Math Class, Forsythia Composition Class, Gourd Date English Class, Tianmu Qionghua Science Class, are named after the school's mascot, which shows the importance of these classes at the school.

The so-called interest classes are actually what ordinary people call "rocket classes," "intensive classes," or "competition classes."

The Education Bureau does not encourage the existence of such "elite classes" or "super classes" in primary and secondary schools.

We neither advocate nor oppose it.

If a student like Huang Yuexi had simply followed the established curriculum and completed six years of primary school without receiving intensive training in advanced or elite classes, how could she possibly have achieved a ranking in the top 5% globally in a primary school math competition?

So everyone understands the existence of things like the Pomegranate Math Class.

"I have no objection to my daughter Nofe going to the Pomegranate Math Class. What I want to ask is, does Ms. Yang Xiuqin Teacher Yang know about this?"

"Teacher Yang knows. What she means is that as long as Nofi's parents agree, she'll be fine with it."

"Alright, but I still need to ask Nofi herself what she thinks. If she wants to go, then she can go. If she doesn't want to go, then we can't force her, right, Teacher Yuan?"

"Yes, yes, then I will await your news, Academician Shen."

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Yuan."

"It's not hard work at all. Actually, Academician Shen, you can teach what we can teach Nofi, and you can teach it even better."

"It's different. My expertise lies in higher education, while primary education is a different field. You primary education workers who have been working on the front lines for a long time are the real experts."
