March 14 is Pi Day, also known as π Day, because the approximate value of pi π≈ 3.14.
From March 6th to 14th, the first ASJ PYP π Day was held. By understanding the origin of π and the relevant mathematical history, children focus on stimulating children's interest in learning and self-motivation, and pay attention to the bits and pieces of children's daily life.
The G1 preliminary round held a relaxed and happy math monopoly competition, allowing students to fully feel the fun of playing middle school mathematics, not only allowing them to feel the fun of the game, but also helping them consolidate the knowledge of mathematics they had learned, laying a deep foundation for future learning.
The final held a tense and exciting quiz competition, which not only tested students' mastery of knowledge points, but also tested students' reflexes, whether they could prioritize the questions they answered back, and finally decided the top three.
Challenging All
the Way Through
The Math Festival competition ended successfully, and the children of G2 actively participated in the game activities, which improved their mathematical literacy and consolidated their mathematical knowledge while gaining fun.
The first level is to memorize pi, after understanding the infinite non-cyclic decimal of π, we encourage children to memorize the value of pi in different ways to improve their sensitivity to numbers.
In the second game, "One Meter Stacking", children need to build three-dimensional shapes and make them close to one meter tall. In the competition, the children must not only build steadily, but also build "accurately", in addition to stabilizing the three-dimensional shape, they must also judge whether the height of the building has reached one meter.
Finally, combined with the study of the chapter of addition and subtraction mixed operations, we launched the third level of the competition activity "Making 314". By observing the characteristics and estimation of numbers, children can quickly calculate 314 using addition and subtraction, addition or subtraction, and improve their numeracy and number sense.
G3 children experienced a card stacking game, which tested students' understanding of basic models through folding, stacking and other forms. Before the event started, the G3 children were ready for card practice early.
The children were very serious during the competition, and a seemingly simple game also tested the children's patience, perseverance and persistence.
Math Word
Spelling Competition
The children of G4 were nervous about the math word spelling competition. For this game, the children started memorizing math words in advance.
The children who entered the rematch embodied "Fast and Furious" to the fullest. This word contest tests not only the memory of mathematical words, but also everyone's reflexes, flexible brains and agile bodies, and stable psychological quality.
The G5 kids experienced a "one stop to the end" race. From the origin of knowing the π together, to the random grouping, group elimination, and finally ushered in the champion and runner-up group showdown. The children also learned how to make themselves better through the strength of the team.
While understanding the origin of Π, take careful notes.
In the group knockout round and the peak four finals, the teachers' faces were deeply impressed by the serious answers of the questions. Teammates worked together to solve different math problems, and the team spirit was vividly displayed.
G6 kids turned π day into π week. Students can discover new logical thinking problems in the π day corner every day. As soon as class starts, children rush out of the classroom and gather in the math corner, either to understand or discuss enthusiastically. After figuring out the answer, I can't wait to rush in the direction of the office as soon as possible and present the fresh results to the teacher to obtain a point "badge" that highlights the honor.
In addition, the Math Word Contest is the second highlight of the Grade 6 π Day activity. Students are in full swing to enjoy the activities of π day, and through the accumulation of points in the two activities, fiercely compete for the first, second and third prizes.
On March 14, ASJ Elementary held the π Day Award Ceremony to present awards to students who demonstrated their ability to think, work hard and persevere.
Before the award ceremony, the teachers prepared several math questions, and the G1-G6 children participated enthusiastically. Think, regardless of age, never stop. ASJ Junior School students can also discover their own shortcomings in thinking in the quiz game, pay attention to them in the future, and become more comprehensive thinkers.
