Creativity and lighting up a colourful life——A winter vacation Middle School homework display
To enable students to experience a happy and meaningful holiday, middle school mathematics teachers carefully designed a winter vacation homework package embedded with rich, diverse content and multi-cultural integration. Students were able to consolidate their knowledge and broaden their horizons through independent explorations and hands-on activities.
Through past review and new explorations, students converted their learned knowledge and produced PPTs, mind maps and other handwritten newspaper articles.
Mathematics is not all about boring numbers and formulas – it is also about observing and understanding our surroundings through a mathematical perspective, making life much more vivid! Our students applied their knowledge of statistics and percentages through the collection of the Spring Festival activities with their families and classmates, and made a fan-shaped statistical chart to display their results.
“The chest is full of text and ink, and the stomach is full of poetry and calligraphy.” During the holiday, students not only read books such as “Magic Mathematics”, “Mathematical Talent” and “The Mystery of Mathematics”, but also watched documentaries such as “A Mathematical Story”, “How much do you know about probability?” and “The person selected by mathematics – 2021”, which all served to help them discover mathematics all over again.
Healthy interests and hobbies not only develop children’s cultural literacy and artistic cultivation, but also nurture their moral cultivation. With the help of Yayoi Kusama’s works, students appreciated the perfect combination of mathematics and art, and created pieces of vivid paintings.
“It’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.” Students took the advantage of the holidays to visit the bank museum, the stock museum, the coin museum, the textile museum and other museums, carrying out research and engaging with travel activities.
