The Happy Journey of Wanyuan Mathematics

“万源数学实践活动”快乐之旅

The Happy Journey of Wanyuan Mathematics

忙碌而充实的五月，万源班的孩子们终于盼来了期待已久的数学实践活动。

In this busy and fulfilling May, the students of Wuanyuan classes finally took part in Mathematics activities, which they have been looking forward to for a long time.

5月29日下午，一年级万源班的数学学科活动开始啦！本次活动小朋友本着 “分享·体验·实践”原则，通过旧物循环利用的方式，推广循环经济、生态环保的思想，孩子们把家中闲置的文化用品、玩具、图书拿到集市中交易，既培养了学生的数学思维，又丰富了学生的社会实践体验，培养学生乐于沟通、勇于尝试的能力。爱美的女孩们在美甲、画脸谱的摊位排上长长的队伍、而男孩们热衷于各类玩具……今天的收获真是太多了，一张张笑脸洋溢着快乐与幸福，体会着数学来源于生活的奥妙。

On the afternoon of 29th, May, the Mathematics activities in grade 1 officially begun! Adhering to the principles of sharing, experiencing, and practicing, as well as advocating reuse, reduce and recycle, this math activity had grade one children bringing toys, books, and other cultural supplies from home to trade with other peers in the Maths Market. This activity not only strengthened students’ Mathematical thinking, but it also enriched their social and communication skills. Girls who enjoy beauty products lined up at the nail and face painting booths while the boys were passionate about all kinds of toys.Today all grade one children learned a lot from the Maths Market. From their smiling faces, we know that they were happy and understood that Maths is part of daily life.

本次数学实践活动是在认识了七巧板的构成，以及学习了七巧板的拼图方法之后进行的实践活动。此次实践活动分两种形式：一种是让孩子们自己设计七巧板图形并且在A3纸上用七巧板卡纸拼出自己设计的图形。孩子们可以再稍加一些场景的点缀，使呈现出的图形更加直观并且内容更加丰富；另一种就是在教室里进行了七巧板达人赛，老师在PPT上播放图片，孩子们在限定的时间内拼出PPT上的图形就可以得一个绿点，最后根据绿点数评出前五名为优胜奖。

此次活动，孩子们的参与度非常高，既有比较“静”的作品呈现，又有比较“动”的动手操作比赛。孩子们都热情高涨，不仅仅是在比赛中获得了快乐和成就感，最主要的是在平时的练习中也爱上了七巧板。

We organized this jigsaw puzzle activity because students have understood the function of jigsaw puzzles and learned the jigsaw puzzle method before. The activity was divided into two forms. One was to let children design their own jigsaw puzzle graphics and finish their own designs on A3 paper. They were allowed to add some designs to make the graphics stand out. The activity was to have a jigsaw puzzle competition in the classroom. The teacher presented some pictures on the PPT. Students then made the jigsaw puzzle graphic according to those pictures during a limited time frame. They would receive one green pot when they finished one. Finally, five rewards will be given to the top five students.Students participated actively and passionately during this activity. They had a chance to compete and also they showed off their wonderful works. Students fell in love with jigsaw puzzles during the whole process of daily practice and they achieved a sense of happiness during today’s activity.

三四年级小朋友们欣赏了很多精彩的相声和小品，互动环节的Copy不走样，笑声充斥着整个大剧院，同学们和老师们度过了愉快的一下午。在一阵阵的笑声中，孩子们对数学有了更深的思考。希望你们能够以今日的心情对待每一天的数学学习。

Children in the third and fourth grades enjoyed a lot of wonderful cross talks and sketches. In the interactive time, some students showed off perfectly their ability to imitate comedians. Laughter filled the entire theater. Both students and teachers had a pleasant afternoon.In the bursts of laughter, children had a deeper appreciation of mathematics. We hope that they can learn mathematics with this much joy every day.

魔方是一种益智类游戏，玩魔方可以锻炼孩子手、眼、脑的协调能力，提高孩子们的记忆力、整体观察能力和空间思维能力。比赛中，同学们用灵巧的双手，旋出了激情，转出了精彩，更玩出了同学们的智慧，营造了浓厚的数学学习氛围，增强了学习数学的信心，学生们真正地感受到学习数学的快乐。玩魔方真是在玩中学，在学中玩，孩子爱玩爱学，越学越爱玩，越玩越爱学，互相促进。此次万源数学实践活动，真正进入到孩子们的生活中，切切实实贴近每个孩子。孩子们不仅在活动中感受数学、应用数学、享受数学，也促进了孩子们数学文化综合素养的提升。让每个孩子都感受到知识的有趣，活动的快乐，课堂的生动。

Rubik’s Cube is a kind of puzzle game. Playing Rubik’s Cube can help develop the coordination of hands, eyes and brain. This also improves memory, overall observation ability and spatial thinking ability. During the competition, students played the Rubik’s cube with passion and wisdom. This created a positive environment for their interest in Maths and also developed their confidence in Maths. This activity was a perfect combination of learning and playing.

This Wanyuan Mathematics Activity has really enriched children’s daily life in which children not only experienced mathematics, apply mathematics and enjoy mathematics, but they also can improve their comprehensive knowledge of mathematics culture. It provides opportunities for each child to feel the fun in learning, the happiness in activities, and the vividness in Maths class.
