Most middle school students find it boring to learn Maths. But students in Hillbrook School in New York, US, don't think so. Why? Because they are in the school of One Program9 which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have Maths lessons.

“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare(比较) with it. We give each lesson according to the students' interest and their strong and weak points,”said Janis Bruce, the school’s head teacher,“We're looking for a new way that interests students. ”

Students enjoy these Maths lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to Maths problems to get through the game. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes(迷宫)with their keyboards, some questions come up.

Frank Lee had to answer the question: What is 5+(6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.

“I was right,”said Frank, 14, as he ended the game with a high score(高分).“This really makes maths lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better. ”
