During Maths Week, our Early Years held a class for parents on the topic of 'Understanding the Mathematics Curriculum and Teaching in Early Years'. Parents attended the class to learn about the maths curriculum and how to help their children learn maths better.

幼儿园在数学周举办了一场主题为“了解幼儿园数学课程与教学”的家长课堂。家长们踊跃参加，共同了解了幼儿园的数学课程以及如何帮助孩子更好地学习数学。

At the end of the class, parents had the opportunity to go into the different classes and participate in maths activities with the children. The children were enthusiastic to show their parents what they had learnt about maths and encouraged them to join in the fun. Not only did the parents share in the children's joy, but they were also able to experience first-hand how maths is taught in the kindergarten, which will be very useful in helping their children to learn maths better in the future.

在课堂结束后，各位家长还有机会进入不同班级和孩子们一起参与数学活动。孩子们充满热情地向家长展示着他们所学到的数学知识，并鼓励家长们也一起参与其中。家长们不仅可以分享孩子们的喜悦，更能够亲身体验到幼儿园的数学教学方式，这将对于日后帮助孩子更好地学习数学大有裨益。

In Primary School, each grade did different things. Some grades did stations, which they went round with a passport with their parents showing their parents the different types of maths activities that they have been doing in class. Other grades did a whole class design challenge that they did using the different shapes they had been learning about. In grade 2 we had 6 stations each with a different theme - 3D shapes bingo, time, basic facts challenge etc.

在小学部，每个年级都做了不同的活动。一些年级做了站台，他们带着“通行证”，带领父母展示了他们在课堂上做的不同类型的数学活动。其他年级的学生做了一个完整的班级设计挑战，他们使用了他们在课堂中学到的不同形状。在二年级，我们有6个“站点”，每个站点都有不同的主题，如3D图形宾果游戏、时间、基本事实挑战等。

In grade 4 our focus was statistics which was perfect for math week and for using our inquiry skills with the book ‘If the World Were a Village’. Our students created infographics based on the information they learned from the updated video clip which was based on the book. Our parents helped our students look at the data and think about what the numbers represented. The students converted the data to fractions and percentages. It was wonderful to see our parents interacting with their children and there was a buzz of math humming around the classroom.

四年级的重点是统计学，这适用于数学周的活动和对《假如世界是一个村庄》这本书的探究。学生们根据他们这本书最新推出的相关视频中了解到的信息，制作了信息图表。家长帮助我们的学生看数据，并思考这些数字代表什么。学生们将数据转换为分数和百分比。家长与孩子互动，其乐融融，教室里弥漫着数学的讨论氛围。

On the day parents visited our class during Maths Week, Grade 5A students participated in group mental math games. The teacher quickly displayed a fraction on the board in which students had to quickly produce equivalent fractions. However, students couldn't repeat an equivalent fraction that another student in their group had already stated. It was a fast-paced game since the teacher changed the fraction without notice. Students had to quickly adapt and continue to produce equivalent fractions throughout the game. Students then worked in small differentiated groups, focusing on fundamental fraction and operations skills. 

在数学周期间，家长参观了我们的班级，G5A的学生参加了小组心理数学游戏。老师在黑板上快速写出一个分数，学生们必须快速地得出等值分数。然而，学生们不能重复他们小组中另一个学生已经说过的等值分数。这是一个快节奏的游戏，因为老师不经意间就改变了分数。学生们必须迅速适应，并在整个游戏中继续产生等分。随后，学生们在不同的小组中工作，集中学习基本的分数和运算技能。

The groups in the classroom practiced finding the least multiple/least common denominator and greatest common factor, adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators, and finding the missing number in an equation with fractions (algebra). Some students also were learning how to multiply fractions using models. The teacher and teaching assistants worked with students in these small groups and rotated after each mini-lesson was complete. Students used IXL on their iPads to practice a variety of fraction skills. At the end of the lesson, students created artwork related to fraction concepts.

教室里的小组练习了寻找最小倍数/最小公分母和最大公因数，分母相同和不相同的分数的加减法，以及寻找分数方程中缺少的数字（代数）。一些学生还在学习如何使用模型进行分数乘法。老师和助教在这些小组中与学生一起探究，在每个小课完成后进行轮换。学生们使用iPad上的IXL来练习各种分数技能。在课程结束时，学生们创作了与分数概念有关的艺术作品。

Grade 5B students learned about probabilities and representing expected outcomes using fraction. They experimented with dies, coins and counters. Students rolled two dies to determine the probability of each outcomes. They also experimented with coins to calculate the probabilities of flipping two heads, a head and a tail, and two tails.

G5B的学生学习了概率和用分数表示预期结果。他们用模具、硬币和计数器进行实验。学生们掷出两个骰子以确定每种结果的概率。他们还用硬币进行实验，计算出翻转两个头、一个头和一个尾、以及两个尾的概率。

Monday 13th March saw the commencement of a very successful Mathematics week at ISA Science City. In the weeks prior to it starting, many students engaged in trans-disciplinary activities wherein the Mathematics department partnered with various other subject areas in a series of small projects. Students reveled in the opportunity to make links between Mathematics and other subject areas. During the week itself, activities, games and puzzles were organised each day to keep students both entertained and engaged. A newsletter came out each day with articles, puzzles, examples of student work, and kept students abreast of planned activities. The week culminated in finale assembly where photos were shared, further games were played and certificates and medals were awarded. We were most fortunate to be joined by a member of our parent body, Mr DeSandies, who spoke about the importance of Mathematics as a tool that can be used to help make sense of the world and solve problems in any context. We were thrilled with a great deal of positive student feedback and look forward to future similar events.

3月13日开始，为期一周的数学周可谓非常成功。在活动开始前的几周，许多学生参与了跨学科活动，其中数学与其他各学科领域合作开展了一系列的小项目，学生们利用这个机会将数学和其他学科领域联系起。在这一周里，每天都有各种活动、游戏和拼图，让学生们乐在其中。每天都会有一份新闻简报，里面有文章、谜题、学生作品的例子，让学生了解到计划中的活动。这一周快乐的学习氛围最终在总结会上推上了顶峰，会上，老师分享了数学周的回顾照片，进行了游戏，也为学生颁发了证书和奖章。我们非常荣幸邀请到了我们的家长成员DeSandies先生为大家分享数学的重要性，让孩子们认识到：数学可以用于帮助我们认识世界和解决任何情况中的问题。我们对学生们的积极反馈感到非常开心，并期待着今后可以开展类似活动。
