协和万源美式高中主办首届“上海高中生数学竞赛” 真实还原国际竞赛现场！
SHINE YOUR POTENTIAL!!!
MATH CONTEST
2018年元月27日，协和万源美式高中迎来了首届 SHSMC上海高中生数学竞赛。40多名参赛者走出课堂，投入到这场激动人心的头脑竞技！
Last Saturday, January 27th 2018 our US High School had an exciting day of math rigorous challenging fun day at SUIS Wanyuan, called as Shanghai High School Math Contest (SHSMC). This is the first math international contest on campus that challenged us beyond the walls of the classroom.
SHSMC 上海高中生数学竞赛融合了两项极具声望的国际数学竞赛 —— 美国 AMC 数学竞赛 American Mathematics Competition、加拿大滑铁卢数学竞赛 Waterloo Math Competition。因此，我们的 SHSMC 赛制非常丰富，包含三个环节 —— 个人测试、小组抢答、小组接力答题。三个板块环环相扣，全真模拟国际赛场，综合考验参赛者的应变、合作、逻辑能力。
Shanghai High School Mathematic Competition incorporated two academia contests with fame and prestige — American mathematic contest (AMC) and Waterloo Math Contest. To simulate these two contests effectively, SHSMC included three parts: individual written session, team buzzer round, and team relay session. It tests for the combination of flexible logical thinking and team working ability.
- INDIVIDUAL WRITTEN SESSION
- TEAM BUZZER ROUND
开场典礼之后，我们迎来了第一个环节 —— 个人测试，这是选手们展现个人实力最好的机会。接着，是小组抢答。六人一组，互相配合。蜂鸣器声应接不暇，志愿者迅速向评委传递答案…… 空气中弥漫着紧张气氛！
After the opening ceremony, the first part was the individual written session, where participants had opportunity to shine to their own potential. The contestants walked confidently out into the examination room ready of the next round, the team buzzer round. This session was the most fun where we working as a team of 6. The whole session was exciting and the air was full of tension with the sounds of buzzers, the volunteering runners passing the groups’ answers to the judges.
- TEAM RELAY SESSION
最激动人心的时刻到了！午餐后，小组接力开始。前一位成员给出的答案是后一位成员答题条件，每位队员的回答都是息息相关。一个人答错题，很可能导致整个小组失分。于是，大家都在草稿纸上反复演练、不断敲打计算器。
Wow! Then we leaped to the final session after lunch, the relay session, the team members sat in a rows of 3, each contestant was dependent on the subject of the latter contestant. If one person has it wrong then whole group answer is wrong. Every team member felt responsible to do their best. We experienced the power of trusting our team members. It was session to enjoy the beauty of math.
数学竞赛在盛大的闭幕仪式中落下帷幕，获奖者手握金灿灿的奖杯、亮闪闪的奖牌和证书，感受数学带给我们的智慧与欢乐！
在此，我们向所有的参赛同学、评委、数学组 Simpson 老师、Daisy 博士、尹老师、Akoto 老师，致以深深的谢意！
The exciting day ended with thrills and applauds with a grand closing ceremony where individuals and teams won golden trophies, glittering medals, gift cards and certificates. We thanks all our participants, judges and SUIS US math department Ms. Simpson, Dr. Daisy, Mr. Yin, and Ms. Akoto for all their support to make this happen.
