A famous supplementary textbook on maths from Shanghai will soon be published in the UK this year, as part of the country's efforts to learn from the city's world-class mathematics teaching methods.

The English version of the book "One Lesson, One Exercise (yi ke yi lian)" will be designed on the base of the original Chinese version and integrate with the local curriculum as well.

The Chinese version of the book has been an essential part to the teaching and learning process for many Shanghai teachers and students for some 2 decades.

UK's education authorities have started to learn from Shanghai's maths teaching since last year, as the city is one of the top performers in the Program for International Student Assessment (Pisa) rankings.

Later this February, 29 maths teachers in Shanghai will also visit selected primary schools in the UK to share their teaching techniques.
