以数启思，笃学敏行

生活中的数学

2025年3月14日，我校小学部举办第三届数学节，与课堂不同，数学节设置了20余个和生活息息相关的小游戏，连接起数学世界与孩子们的好奇心，激发他们对数学的无尽热爱与探索欲。

兴趣是最好的老师，只有当孩子们对数学产生浓厚的兴趣时，他们才会愿意投入更多的时间和精力去学习、去探索。

数学节通过一系列生动有趣的数学游戏和挑战，让孩子们在玩乐中感受到了数学的乐趣，从而激发了他们对数学的好奇心和求知欲。这种内在的动力将驱使他们在未来的学习道路上，不断前行、不断超越。

将数学术语融入猜词游戏，这就是我们独创的“数学术语猜猜猜”。每个单词都与数学紧密相关，从基础的加减乘除到复杂的几何定理，应有尽有。这不仅让学生在游戏中加强对这些单词的理解，更是对数学知识的深度挖掘和趣味学习。

"6除以（1减3除以4）等于24！"，在“魔幻24点”中，速算区的同学们脑洞大开，尝试用各种运算方式组合数字。有的小组分工合作，有人负责加法，有人尝试乘法；有的同学则独自沉思，寻找最优解。"原来数字可以这样灵活组合！"一位四年级的同学惊叹道。这个游戏不仅考验运算技巧，更激发了孩子们对数学的创造力。

“抢10大战”对战区传来此起彼伏的欢呼声。两位同学轮流抽取数字牌，快速计算组合，争夺胜利。有的同学反应敏捷，一眼就看出数字间的联系；有的则沉着思考，寻找最佳搭配。"我现在看到数字就会自动想它的补数了！"一位三年级同学分享道。这个游戏不仅锻炼了计算能力，更让孩子们感受到数字的奇妙组合。

在传统的教学模式下，数学往往被视为一种需要死记硬背和机械计算的学科，而数学节则通过一系列富有创意和趣味性的体能活动结合，让孩子们在轻松愉快的氛围中，发现数学的魅力所在。

他们不再是被动的接受者，而是主动的探索者，通过实践、合作与创新，展现出了自己在数学领域的独特才能和无限潜力。

“兔子吃萝卜”中，孩子们以团队作战，在蒙眼寻宝的欢笑中藏着严谨的数学建模。两位学生分别担任"导航员"与"执行者"，通方向指令（如"东偏北60°行进2米"）完成路径规划。这不仅是对方向角度的生活化应用，更培养了孩子的沟通能力。

“格子跳跳是我最喜欢的游戏之一。我一边跳一边计算，感觉很有趣。这个游戏让我学会了如何快速计算，还锻炼了我的身体协调能力。我每次跳对了都感到特别开心！”

游戏中从起始点开始，计算算式结果，并根据得数跳相应数量的格子。孩子们在运动中感受了数学的乐趣！在跳跃中，孩子们不仅锻炼了身体，也提升了计算能力，真正做到了寓教于乐。

在众多活动中，套圈圈游戏独树一帜。参与者们手持彩色圈圈，站在指定线外，全神贯注地瞄准前方的奖品。每一次投掷，都是对技巧和眼力的考验。大家乐此不疲地尝试，不断挑战自我，力求将圈圈精准地套中目标。在轻松愉快的氛围中，套圈圈活动带来了欢乐，让学子在反复尝试中锻炼了专注力和耐心，收获满满。

在活动中，数学不再是孤立存在的，而是与艺术、科学、生活等多个领域紧密相连。孩子们在解决数学问题的过程中，往往需要运用到其他学科的知识和技能，这种跨学科的融合不仅拓宽了他们的视野，也培养了他们的综合素养和创新能力。

"这次我一定要赢！"两位同学全神贯注地盯着棋子，轮流拿取1-2颗。随着“巧取棋子”游戏的进行，大家逐渐摸索出制胜策略。"我发现只要让对手拿到第3颗棋子就稳赢了！"G6的同学自信地说道。逆向思维和策略制定在这个游戏中得到了充分锻炼，孩子们在玩乐中不知不觉提升了数学逻辑能力。

当走迷宫遇上数学，是怎样的体验？孩子们手持迷宫板，专注地寻找着通往出口的路线。有的同学眉头紧锁，仔细分析每一条岔路；有的则大胆尝试，在错误中调整策略。"往左走不通，我要试试右边！"G2的小朋友兴奋地说道。当成功找到出口时，孩子们脸上绽放出灿烂的笑容，这份成就感让他们体会到坚持与思考的快乐。

“玩转百数板让我觉得数学很有趣。我学会了如何快速找到数字周围的四个数字，还发现了数字之间的很多有趣关系。这个游戏让我对数字的理解更深刻了。

老师出示一张百数板，孩子们需要找出贴出数字周围的四个数字。这个游戏不仅考验了他们的观察力，还加深了对数字关系的理解。孩子们在数字的海洋中遨游，每一次发现都是对数学世界的探索。

孩子们心中对数学的热爱与好奇被数学节点燃，趣味数学是一次心灵的触动，它让数学不再是书本上的符号和公式，而是成为了一种探索世界的工具，一种创造美好的力量。

未来，我校将继续探索更多创新的教学方式，让数学之光照亮每一个孩子的心灵。

Maths in Life

On 14th March 2025, our Primary Department held the third Maths Festival. Unlike the classroom, the Maths Festival set up more than 20 small games that are closely related to life, connecting the world of mathematics with children's curiosity and stimulating their endless love and desire to explore mathematics.

Interest is the best teacher, and only when children develop a strong interest in maths will they be willing to invest more time and energy in learning and exploring.

Maths terminology is incorporated into a guessing game with our original ‘Maths Terminology Guessing Game’. Each word is closely related to maths, from basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to complex geometric theorems. This not only enhances students' understanding of these words, but also provides a deeper and more fun way to learn maths.

In ‘Magic 24 Points’, the students in the quick calculation area had a lot of brainstorming and tried to combine numbers in various ways. Some groups divided the work into co-operation, some were responsible for addition, some tried multiplication; some students were alone in contemplation, looking for the optimal solution." So numbers can be combined flexibly like this!" A fourth-grade student exclaimed. This game not only tests arithmetic skills, but also stimulates children's creativity in maths.

The ‘Battle of the 10s’ area was filled with cheers. Two students took turns to draw numbered cards and quickly calculate the combinations to win the game. Some students are quick to see the connection between the numbers, while others think calmly to find the best combinations." I now see a number and automatically think of its complement!" A third-grade student shared. This game not only honed the calculation skills, but also gave the children a taste of the marvellous combinations of numbers.

While mathematics is often seen as a subject that requires rote learning and mechanical calculations in the traditional mode of teaching, the Maths Festival allows children to discover the charm of mathematics in a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere through a series of creative and fun combination of physical activities.

In ‘The Rabbit Eats the Carrot’, the children work in teams, and the laughter of a blindfolded treasure hunt hides rigorous mathematical modelling. Two students acted as the "navigator" and the "executor" to plan the path through directional commands (e.g., "travel 2 metres at 60° north by east"). This is not only a life-long application of directional angles, but also develops the children's communication skills.

The game starts from the starting point, calculates the result of the equation and jumps the corresponding number of squares according to the number of points obtained. The children felt the fun of maths in the movement! In jumping, the orphans not only exercised their bodies, but also improved their calculation skills, which really made the game more fun than educational.

Among the many activities, the circle game was unique. Participants held colourful circles, stood outside the designated line, and concentrated on aiming at the prizes in front of them. Each throw was a test of skill and eyesight. Everyone was happy to try and challenge themselves, striving to accurately set the circle on the target. In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the activity brought joy and allowed students to exercise their concentration and patience in repeated attempts and gained a lot of benefits.

In the activities, Mathematics no longer exists in isolation, but is closely connected with many fields such as art, science and life. In the process of solving mathematical problems, children often need to apply the knowledge and skills of other disciplines. This cross-disciplinary integration not only broadens their horizons, but also develops their comprehensive literacy and creativity.

"I'm going to win this time!" The two students concentrated on the pieces and took turns to take 1-2 pieces. As the game of "Taking Chess Pieces" progressed, we gradually worked out the winning strategy." I found that as long as I let my opponent get the 3rd piece, I'll win!" said G6 confidently. G6 said confidently. Reverse thinking and strategy development were fully exercised in this game, and the children unknowingly improved their mathematical and logical skills while having fun.

What is it like when walking a maze meets maths? With maze boards in hand, the children focused on finding the route to the exit. Some were frowning, carefully analysing each fork in the road; others were trying boldly, adjusting their strategies in the midst of their mistakes." Going left doesn't work, I'm going to try right!" G2 children said excitedly. When they succeeded in finding the exit, the children's faces blossomed with bright smiles, and this sense of achievement made them appreciate the joy of perseverance and thinking.

The teacher shows a hundred-number board and the children need to find the four numbers around the posted number. This game not only tested their observation skills, but also deepened their understanding of number relationships. The children swam in the sea of numbers and every discovery was an exploration of the world of maths.

The love and curiosity of maths in children's hearts was ignited by the Maths Festival. Fun Maths was a mind-touching experience, and in the future, our school will continue to explore more innovative ways of teaching and learning, so that the light of maths can illuminate the mind of every child.
