Lyudmila has two children \u2014 a 7 y.o. daughter in second grade, and an 11 y.o. son in the sixth grade. They are now both in two different Kazan math summer camps \u2014 and their Mom goes from one to the other many times in the week, teaching math and organizing the process. Today, Lyudmila and her team have put in place math camps for children from 7 to 17 years old. It seems realistic that her own children would go completely through all the years of such education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We meet Lyudmila’s son between two classes, and he tells us what is his relationship with mathematics, his sister and his Mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s cool, in principle. For example, I can come to her and say Mom, I do not understand combinatorics, can you explain it to me please? I can come at any moment to my Mom when she doesn\u2019t work, and she will answer and help me. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Concerning math problems, there are always questions that stay open with my Mom \u2014 she would never give an answer if I do not solve a problem myself. You know, there is this play, you can ask any question and a person says yes or no, and you have to find an explanation to a story. That time the story was: a man is lying dead in the middle of the desert, with a piece of wood in his hands. What happened?\u2026 To this problem, my Mom wouldn\u2019t tell me an answer for two years in a row!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So she can help explaining things but hints or answers to problems \u2014 you shouldn\u2019t wait for this from her. (He smiles at his Mom)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The pedagogues are really fun there and they really love children. They explain very tenderly what you can or can’t do, and what is not good. Or on the contrary, they will tell you \u2014 what you did is very good, about mathematics or not. I think it\u2019s cool to have very nice, good people, adults around you who will always support you when you are 6 or 7 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes when my sister asks for help, I help her \u2014 when Mom is not around, or she is occupied, but that\u2019s not so often. Usually my sister solves everything herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love to solve a very difficult problem that few people have solved. That\u2019s cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lyudmila’s son has already won a Republic\u2019s Olympiad and her daughter is still young \u2014 it is too early to tell, Lyudmila says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lyudmila has two children \u2014 a 7 y.o. daughter in second grade, and an 11 y.o. son in the sixth grade.
