甲洛洛思量再三，还是觉得第二个办法可行，唯一的担心就是那个丁主任的同伙会不会狗急跳墙，杀我灭口，可那瘦瘦小小的身板，看了也不是什么有能耐的家伙，再说自己手里提着斧头，也不怕他们赤手空拳。

在传统数学教学中，教师只是专注于教材知识的讲解，常常忽略了学生的主体性地位，与学生之间互动较少，导致课堂气氛枯燥、无聊，无法提起学生的学习兴趣。对此，教师应提高课堂趣味性，让学生对数学产生兴趣。练习本身就不可避免地带有枯燥、单调的特质，而数学习题由于充斥着大量的符号和数字，就显得尤为枯燥。小学生的认知能力和注意力有限，他们对过于单调重复的习题容易丧失兴趣和注意力。因此，教师在设计习题内容时，还需考虑习题的趣味性，增设趣味性习题以调动学生的积极性。例如，教师可以根据教学内容和学生的年龄特点，安排故事类和探究类习题来激发学生的学习兴趣。
