提起数学，我们首先想到的是什么？

图形、算式、做题、分数？

提到计量单位，你能数到多少？

恒河沙、阿僧袛、那由他还是古戈尔？

在4年级的Dudu眼里，数学是异形拼图、手工房子、手工大桥、纸魔方、马赛克笔筒...，连复仇者联盟里那个连成环后永无止境，没有尽头的莫比乌斯环也出现在教科书中。

人物 CHARACTERS

Dudu     赫德四年级E班学生

#HDBJ

What springs to mind when we think of mathematics? 

Shapes, equations, problem-solving, grades?

When it comes to units of measurement, how many can you count? Ganges sand, Asankhyeya, Nayuta, or Googol?

For Dudu, math is like alien puzzles, craft houses, craft bridges, paper Rubik's cubes, mosaic pen holders... Even the Mobius strip from the Avengers, which is endless when looped, appears in textbooks.

CHARACTERS

Dudu，G4 E student

#HDBJ

Imagine if math class could captivate us as much as video games. What would that be like? Dudu is a child who loves math so much that she could almost sparkle with excitement. She says, "It's like solving one riddle after another." She has a particular fondness for fractions, "like adding 1/2 to 1/2, it feels a bit odd, but the teacher's stories make these numbers as fascinating as cartoons."

This year marks the eighth year that Principal Yang has led the QCC comprehensive curriculum in mathematics education. QCC is like a feast of thought, seamlessly blending problems, dialogue, and collaboration, allowing young minds like Dudu to cultivate a passion and logical thinking for mathematics while tackling problems.

Dudu and her classmates are learning about the magnitude of "100 million." Teachers first have the students contemplate this through counting units, such as "10 tens make 100, 10 hundreds make 1000..." Then they arrange Tenga blocks, one by one, eventually forming a massive block. Through these activities, they attempt to grasp the enormity of the "billion" unit.

"We constructed a small house with sticks, and then the teacher asked us to calculate its area, which helped me understand the concepts of hectares and square kilometers," Dudu explains. The magic of mathematics lies in understanding the origins of symbols, how to express a multitude of numbers with a few symbols, and the rules behind number systems. Once you grasp these concepts, calculations don't seem so daunting.

"At HDBJ, children learn in various ways under the same theme; these activities are both learning and the curriculum itself," say the math teachers of the HDBJ Primary School. "Through different activities, mathematical concepts like translation, rotation, and axisymmetry have subtly taken root in the minds of children."

At HDBJ Primary School, teachers are not just overseers of math scores; they are more concerned with the children's mathematical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Mid-semester one-on-one assessments are like a comprehensive "check-up" for the children's thinking skills, allowing teachers to tailor teaching plans to each child's unique characteristics.

Math class is not a tedious battle of problem-solving; it's a challenge that tightly links mathematics with life, allowing children to immediately apply what they've learned to the real world. Teachers are not just people who hand out answers; they are more like guides, leading children on adventures of exploration, reasoning, induction, and conclusion.

Every day, you can see them gathered, like a group of math enthusiasts, discussing and refining lessons, manipulating pictures, words, and equations with the flair of a magician, turning math books into fascinating storybooks, allowing students to decipher the "secret code" of mathematics.

"Learning math is like playing a game," Dudu and her classmates, under the guidance of their teachers, learn and play at the same time, not only honing their mathematical skills but also igniting their interest in mathematics. "Math learning should be, 90 points + interest + focus + thinking power > 100 points," because at Hede, they never advocate sacrificing time that could be used to develop students' thinking just to pursue a perfect score.
