The 2022 edition of curriculum standard points out that each discipline should carry out interdisciplinary theme activities, and each discipline should take out 10% of the total class hours of the discipline to implement it.
How did this requirement land in Lake Jin Xiaolin? Since last week, the mathematics teaching and research group has taken the lead in trying.
Activity+:interdisciplinary theme
The 9th Mathematics Story Collection Week will be held in Jinling Primary School (Xianlinhu Campus) from May 6, 2022 to May 20. According to the requirements of the 2022 edition of the curriculum standard, the teachers of the math group changed their previous practices and tried to divide them into different grades to determine the theme of the activities. Specifically, the third grade is "mathematics in traditional culture", the fifth grade is "mathematics in sports" and the sixth grade is "mathematics in science and technology". All the activities in this grade, including telling stories, drawing stories, making up stories and making tabloids, are centered on the theme of this grade, aiming at guiding students to pay attention to the relationship between mathematics and different disciplines, broadening their learning horizons and opening up their learning pattern through activities.
Mathematics+:classroom observation
If the purpose of activity+ is to move and guide students, then the lectures in this week's school-based mathematics research are a concentrated training and inspiration for teachers. On Thursday afternoon, math teachers of Grade Three, Grade Five and Grade Six walked into Chinese classroom, PE classroom and science classroom respectively around the theme of activity week to observe the classroom teaching of teachers from other disciplines, feel the connection between mathematics and other disciplines, and understand the learning content and performance of students from other disciplines.
This time, three teachers, Gu, Gu and Gu, taught in public. In order to make it easier for teachers and students to see the elements of mathematics in class, they took the initiative to ask the math teacher, collected teaching materials extensively before class, carefully prepared teaching AIDS, and fully experienced an interdisciplinary lesson preparation and polishing.
Teacher+:after-class discussion
What is the effect of the efforts of the three teachers?
After class, the math group conducted a class discussion with teachers as the main body. The so-called teacher+means that not only math teachers but also students participate in the evaluation.
The junior three students who just finished Chinese class said that this class is a bit like the usual Chinese class, but it is also a bit different. But the teacher can take us to draw a clock face and tell us something about it besides the text. It's good! The teacher in class today taught us more than the average Chinese teacher. I love it!
The fifth-grade student from the playground said that in this class, the teacher asked us to measure our running speed, which used mathematical knowledge. In addition, before we start running, the teacher asked us to estimate our running time, which is also a test of our knowledge of time unit. ...
The sixth-grade student who helped the teacher transport the experimental equipment said that in this class today, we learned the lever to pry heavy objects. Experiments show that the weight of a heavy object is inversely proportional to the distance from the heavy object to the fulcrum. Later, we also adjusted the position and quantity of heavy objects according to the inverse relationship. It is interesting to see mathematics in the experiment, and I feel that mathematics is very useful!
When asked, do you like this course? The students all think it's very fresh! It also proves the feasibility and necessity of carrying out one or two inter-semester theme activities in each subject within one semester. From the evaluation of students, it can be seen that it is not difficult to achieve as long as teachers carefully design and help students feel the connection between different disciplines. In such Chinese, physical education and science classes, it is not difficult for students to find mathematics. But what if the teacher doesn't design it carefully? Does mathematics have anything to do with other subjects? The fifth-grade students in physical education class said a very real and touching sentence: "If the teacher doesn't let us calculate the speed, we may be running like crazy ..."
The above evaluation of students is an affirmation of the subject and an expectation of teachers. "Let students transition from crazy running to thinking running" is the direction and mission of education. Therefore, interdisciplinary theme activities need to be the knowledge of each subject and the responsibility of every teacher.
Each subject has its own unique quality, and each subject has important value in the healthy growth of students. To realize the fundamental task of Lide Shu Ren education, we must strengthen mutual understanding and integration between different disciplines.
In this regard, we have begun to think and put it into practice. Next, we will promote the normalization and sustainability of activities. As long as everyone pays attention, we will be able to further strengthen students' interest in learning, cultivate their learning ability and improve their comprehensive quality with the help of interdisciplinary theme activities. Grow students and improve yourself.
