Abstract
In China, review lessons are quite common in mathematics teaching. After teaching a unit, a chapter, a book, or a course, teachers will arrange a lesson or several lessons to review what students have learned to help them consolidate what they have learned and therefore help them organize their knowledge systematically and improve their problem-solving ability. Another goal of review lessons is to help students prepare for examinations.
