The fierce battle at the Tokyo Olympics is in full swing, and Chinese athletes have handed over impressive report cards one after another. Lu Jian, a "post-90s" mathematics teacher at Shanghai Wuai Senior High School, while paying keen attention to sports events, skillfully combined physical education with his profession, mathematics, and carried out a fun mathematical inquiry activity "Mathematics in Physical Education" for students in the summer, which stimulated the strong interest of high school students in learning.
"Why is football an 11-man sport?" "What's the math in basketball and free throws?" "How do I calculate the distance to throw a shot put ball?" Mr. Lu Jian refined the mathematical elements contained in sports, organized students to discuss in small groups, and guided them to ask questions, make hypotheses, build models, solve models, test models, and explain models. In the lively atmosphere of inquiry, the students found that it was not too difficult to explain these problems, and the mathematical knowledge involved was what they had already learned: the area formula of the circle, quadratic functions, parabolas, etc. After the idea was opened, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find "mathematics in penalties", "mathematics in multiple all-around competitions", "mathematics in cheerleading", etc. At this moment, mathematics is no longer just boring numbers and stereotyped formulas, "combining mathematical learning with the hot spot of the Olympic Games, students will be particularly interested." Teacher Lu Jian said, "Subject knowledge is integrated with life situations, cultivating their ability to solve practical problems with the knowledge they have learned, and experiencing the endless fun of life!" ”
This summer, Wuai Senior High School quietly designed a series of activities covering 8 disciplines for students, encouraging students to choose and participate freely - English teacher Xu Jie led students to experience the fun of translation and the magic of translation, and stimulated students to think about the translation standards and translation charm of "Xindaya" through the "English translation fun" in life. According to the knowledge point of "mechanical energy conservation and energy conversion", physics teacher Shen Jingying induced the change of "energy" from the waterfall of the ancient poem "flying down three thousand feet", and carefully designed interesting experiments to lead students to experience the complete process of scientific inquiry and feel the spirit of scientific inquiry in their hands-on brains. Geography teacher Yili Qian helps students use map skills, spatial perspectives, comprehensive thinking and human-land concepts to examine the natural resources of the "Loess Plateau" through observation videos, interesting questions and answers, and travel sharing. History teacher Tan Liwen excavated the subject knowledge in the movie "The Great Cause of Party Building", organized students to select the most profound fragments from the film, combined with the collection and collation of relevant historical materials, and formed their own communication themes, thus stimulating the students' patriotic enthusiasm of "a strong country has me"...
In the chemistry laboratory, the first class of 6 Wang Connie and Chen Jiani are trying to make copper bookmarks, and the inspirational motto "always keep fighting " ( always work hard ) is printed on the bookmarks, and the girl Wang Connie found a small sense of accomplishment in the chemistry experiment: "Entering the world of metals, I found that chemistry is so interesting." "Xia Wenhong, a chemistry teacher, started from the interests of the students and designed the fun exploration activity of "Magical Chemistry"." This experiment revolves around the 'rot of brass and the recrystallization of lead iodide', allowing children to not only get the visual impact of the experiment, but also infiltrate the textbook knowledge they will learn in the next semester, and cultivate the core literacy of the discipline in fun experimental exploration. ”
In the hot summer, the school also arranged the "Mandala Meditation and Stress Reduction" experience activity to help students relax their minds and regulate their emotions. "Let your heart gradually calm down with the flow of the nib, and your mood will be clearer with the richness of color." Psychology teacher Gong Yan guides students to harvest inner peace and pleasure in the process of concentrating on drawing the mandala through "quiet", "thinking", "painting" and "writing". Not long ago, Chen Baoyi, a high school 3rd class girl who accidentally broke a bone, insisted on coming to the school to participate in this psychological stress reduction activity with a crutch, and she said shyly, "The teacher encouraged us to meditate for a moment before painting and feel the current emotional state. In the painting, I gradually felt a little healing in my heart, hoping that my injury would get better as soon as possible. ”
Gao Wenying, secretary of the party branch of Wuai Senior High School, introduced that this summer, the school adopted a combination of online + offline, in-school + outside the school, and carefully organized a series of educational activities with vivid content, novel forms and rich connotations: "a hundred years of party history in the light and shadow" summer movie viewing, "stepping on the red landmark" practice visit, "I present a gift for the motherland" ingenuity of the small master craft works display, "green healthy life" labor masters selection, etc., "so that students have more collective activities to go and arrange in the summer, Promote their healthy and civilized life and live a fulfilling and meaningful summer vacation. ”
