由于疫情的影响，本该5月初考的IGCSE数学延迟了足足一个月。而随着考试的结束也让大家的心直接奔向了假期。在大家结束了所有模考和期末考试后，还有一个星期的学习时间…

如何充分利用这段时间，让大家既能积极参与不觉沉闷，又为下学年的学习打下更坚实的基础呢?

Due to the impact of the pandemic, the IGCSE Mathematics Exam, originally scheduled in early May, has been delayed by a full month. After nearly three months of review, our Grade 9 students finally took the IGCSE math exam in early June. The long review period inevitably made students feel bored and tired, and with the completion of all the exams, everyone dived into their summer holidays. However, after everyone has finished all the Mocks and EoY exams, there is still one more week of study...

How to make full use of this week so that everyone can actively participate in class and lay a more solid foundation for the upcoming academic year?

与众不同的数学课

数学老师Ms. Cissy Yu 介绍道：

Ms. Cissy Yu, SDA Math teacher, introduced to us:

活动中，同学们以小组为单位，利用这一周的时间，归纳总结过去一年的学习内容、了解明年的学习任务、对比相关知识点，为预习制定详细有效的目标与规划，最后以展示板的形式呈现出来，互相分享。这个过程锻炼了学生们的团队合作能力、重组归纳能力、调研能力以及创意展示能力，同时，也让大家切身体验了学习的自主性。

In this project, students worked in groups during this week. They summarized what they’d learned in the past year, got to know what they need to learn in the next year, compared related knowledge points, and formulated detailed and effective goals and plans for the preview work. In the end, they presented all the resources in the form of a display board and shared the information with each other. This process has developed students' cooperation skills, information integration ability, research skills and creativity. It also allowed students to practice their initiative in learning.

一周的时间非常紧张，大家需要很快地进入状态，进行合理分工。有的需要制作复习用的Tarsia Puzzle，有的需要阅读老师提供的CAIE官方课程大纲并摘取出关键信息，有的需要上网搜索更多学习资料，有的需要去MyiMaths学习并答题，有的需要进行美术加工...…

One week was very limited for this project. Everyone needed to get in the zone and perform a reasonable division of labor. Some needed to create a Tarsia Puzzle for review; some needed to read through the official CAIE curriculum resources provided by the teacher and extract key information; some needed to search online for more learning materials; some needed to go to MyiMaths to study and answer questions, and some needed to make decorations, etc.

终于，在放假前的最后一天，所有小组都按时完成了任务。让我们来看一下大家的成果吧!

Finally, on the last school day, all the teams completed the task on time. Let's take a look at everyone's work!

数学课

对于IG年级学生Eric Feng 来说，这次活动不仅仅是关于数学的，更是一场互相配的团队合作：

For Eric Feng, from IG Math, this was not only a project on math, but also on teamwork:

这次为期一周的小组作业对我们来说是新颖的、前所未有的。我们不仅要有数学思维还要有创意和一点艺术细胞。各个成员都分工明确并且相互帮助。通过Myimath上的各种详细的课程或老师给的资料学习来完成任务。当一些小组遇到有难度的主题时Cissy老师也会为我们详细的讲解。画报中的内容不仅复习了IG数学，还预习了A-Level数学的一些内容，为我们下学期的学习打下了基础。印象中最深刻也是最有趣的一幕我觉得就是最后一节课当所有小组都完成了海报并上台展示的时候，每一张海报都很惊艳、完美，可以看出每一个成员的用心制作。这次的小组作业是另一种有趣的学习方式，大家收获的不仅是数学知识，更有团队合作的精神和动手能力。

the on-week-long Math Project was new and unprecedented for us. We should not only think mathematically but also be creative and a little artistic. In this group project, each member has a clear division of labor and always helps each other. We can use the various detailed courses on Myimath or information given by teacher to study. When some groups encountered difficult topics, Ms.Cissy would also explain them in detail. The content of the poster not only reviews IG math, but also previews Alevel math. It helps lay the foundation for our study in the next semester. To my mind, the most impressive and interesting scene was that in the last class, when all the groups finished the posters and presented them in front of us, each one of them was so amazing and perfect that we could see the efforts each member put into them. This group work is another interesting way of learning. We could acquire not just the Mathematics knowledge but the team spirit and hands-on experience as well.

Emily Li 也是IG年级的参加本次活动的学生， 她认为：

Emily Li is a student of this project, she thinks that:

我和小组成员们一起制作的版面主题是微分。由于是成员最少的小组，起初还有些担心分配工作的问题。然而很快四个人都非常热情地投入了进来，归功于大家丰富的想象力，我们成功地设计出了一个十分具有“童话风格”的版面～我们想通过绘画和故事的方式将抽象的微分概念串联成有趣且易于接受的事物：展现微分原理的“切割彩虹”、萌萌的“芝诺龟”，引发大家想要进一步探索AS数学的兴趣。制作过程中还出现了一些令人难忘的小插曲，险些把一个装饰彩蛋画成倒置的菠萝(作为画手我们真的尽力啦)。

The topic of my group was differentiation. Being the group of the least members, we harbored some concerns about how to assign the work at first. However, all of our members contributed enthusiastically. Thanks to everyone's fertile imagination, we successfully designed a poster with the style of "fairy tale." we want to bring the abstract concept of differential series into interesting things which are easier to understand: the principle of differential shown through cutting a rainbow, the cute "Zeno turtle"...Therefore, we might have a greater interest in exploring AS mathematics. There were also many memorable moments--once we almost drew an Easter egg as an upside-down pineapple (but we did our best as painters).

本次数学活动的展示让每位学生都很好的巩固了所学习的知识，为下个阶段数学学习打下了坚实的基础。同时本次活动也让同学们切身感受到，数学的学习不是枯燥无味的，还能是有趣的、充满创意的。

This IG Math Project allows students to well review the knowledge learned and well prepare for the next stage of mathematics learning. At the same time, this activity also let the students feel that the study of mathematics is not boring, it can be interesting and creative teamwork.
