Ri Yong Hui, teacher of the mathematics department of Kusong Middle School No. 1 in North Phyongan Province who has been standing on the platform for nearly 30 years, is appreciated as a master in inventing new teaching methods and model lessons.

In recent years alone, she has developed programs of significance conducive to improving the abilities of students in maths and worked out and introduced more than 10 new teaching methods including a discussion-oriented teaching method which developed the students’ cognitive faculty and fostered their application ability in the course of practical activities using various control programs in the maths subject.

Particularly, a heuristic maths teaching method she developed last year came first in the natural science section of the 30th national symposium on teaching methods and she gave a demonstration lesson. The method deduced a theorem on proportional line segment of a triangle and enhanced the application ability of students through practical outdoor activities.      

She also compiled a collection of maths problems for the junior-class students at middle schools No. 1 and created several model lessons incorporating advanced teaching methods including a heuristic teaching method.

She also made many teaching aids and multimedia presentations to apply them to teaching practice and trained nearly 30 students to be winners of the July 15 Honour Student Prize.  

At present, students in her charge have reached the top three in several national academic contests.
