Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers

Chapter 227: Math Class

Lauren Torres was stunned. She did not know why Ruby Cromwell suddenly acted in such a manner.

Carina Bailey was chatting with another teacher behind her.

Ruby Cromwell raised her hand to wipe away her tears. But her eyes were still red, and so was her nose.

After Carina Bailey said goodbye to the other teacher, she turned around and saw Ruby Cromwell. She bent down and asked her what had gone wrong.

Ruby Cromwell shook her head. “Nothing. It’s just that some sand suddenly blew into my eyes just now.”

Carina Bailey nodded. Although she looked a little suspicious, she did not say much. She held their hands and continued to walk towards the classroom.

Lauren Torres knew that Ruby Cromwell was lying. There was neither sand nor wind in this place.

It was a poor excuse.

It was obvious that Carina Bailey did not believe her either. After she brought the two of them to the classroom, she let Ruby Cromwell enter the classroom first, leaving Lauren Torres behind.

“Lauren, did you see what made Ruby cry just now?”

Lauren Torres shook her head.

“Miss Bailey, I don’t know either. The moment I turned my head, I hear crying.”

“It’s fine then. Ruby is lonely in class. Please spend more time with her. If anything happens to her, please inform the teacher immediately.”

Lauren Torres nodded. She could tell that Carina Bailey was a very responsible class teacher.

“Hurry up and go in. Class is about to start.”

“Okay.”

When Lauren Torres went in, the classroom was almost full.

The classroom was much larger than the one in the kindergarten. The seats were like the seats that Lauren Torres had seen in a TV series. Two persons would be sitting together.

The class was divided into several big groups.

There was an empty seat next to Ruby Cromwell. Recalling what Carina Bailey had said to her, Lauren Torres sat next to Ruby Cromwell.

The teacher had not arrived yet, so Lauren Torres was looking around in a carefree manner.

There were about 40 students in the class. Some of them looked like they were three or four years older than Lauren Torres.

Lauren Torres was probably the youngest child in the class.

She took out a new pencil and notebook from her bag and placed them neatly on the desk. She was ready to attend the class.

Soon, a teacher entered the classroom with a book in his hands. The teacher was a male teacher. He was wearing glasses and looked like he was in his fifties. He was a little bald, but he looked very amiable.

Carina Bailey also walked up to the podium and introduced the teacher to the children.

“Children, this is our math teacher for this semester’s talent program. The teacher’s name is John Zander. Everyone can just call him Mr. Zander.”

These children had already formed a good habit when they were in kindergarten. They put their hands neatly and called out in unison, “Hello, Mr. Zander.”

John Zander smiled and replied, “Hello, Children!”

“Mr. Zander is an excellent teacher in our Thomas Johnson High School. He is currently teaching mathematics to the students of the third year of high school. We have specially invited Mr. Zander to be your math teacher. He can lay a good foundation for all of you and cultivate correct mathematical thinking in you from a young age.”

From what Carina Bailey had said, Lauren Torres realized that the talent program was not just for the kindergarten affiliated to Thomas Johnson High School.

All the children in the country could participate in the program. All they needed to do was to register and pass the exam.

Lauren Torres looked around. It seemed that only she and Ruby Cromwell were from the affiliated kindergarten.

After the introduction by Carina Bailey, she left the class to John Zander.

“Alright, students, let’s start learning!”

As the introduction of the class had already taken up more than 10 minutes, and John Zander Zheng Dao was an efficient teacher, he immediately opened the book and began to teach.

He gave each of the children a book with a detailed explanation and practice questions.

Lauren Torres was able to solve the usual math questions quickly. But in John Zander’s class, many Math Olympiad questions required thinking outside the box.

Lauren Torres had yet to come into contact with this aspect.

In the past, her self-learning was all self-learned from textbooks. For those were beyond the scope of the textbooks, Lauren Torres had never learned them before. Therefore, these classes were new and novel to her. She was learning them with great enthusiasm.

After John Zander finished giving a new knowledge point, he would ask the students to do a few questions. After they finished doing it, the students could raise their hands and let John Zander verify their answers.

As this was something that Lauren Torres had never come into contact with, she would take some time before she could think outside the box.
