中加枫华国际学校的数理课程教学,兼具扎实掌握、灵活探索及运用等特点,在国内高质量基础教育的背景下,结合国际教育鼓励学生举一反三、创新思考等学习模式,摆脱枯燥、重复的题海战术,帮助同学们找到节奏,锻炼逻辑,快乐学习数理类课程。近日,枫华BC高中部的同学们在国际性数学赛事CIMC和CSMC夺得佳绩,用实力彰显了枫华拔尖的数学教育水平。
专访指导教师April Soo
Q:请介绍一下本次竞赛?
A:So, the contest, there are two contests, the CISMC ,which is theCanadian
Intermediate Mathematics Contests,and CSMC which is the Canadian senior
mathematics contest. So, both of these contests are held by the University of
Waterloo and students from all across Canada and internationally can register to
write this contest. So, at our school we had a total of 39 students who decided,
from their own time, to participate in the contest. In total there were 8000,
over 8000 participants in this CIMC and over 11000 participants in the CSMC. So,
the students who won the awards of distinction were in the top 25% for the CSMC
and those students are in the list that you should have. And then we have two
school champions. So, that's students who got awarded the top score in each
category in each contest.
数学竞赛分为两种,一种是CISMC,加拿大中级数学竞赛,还有CSMC,即加拿大高级数学竞赛。这两项比赛都是由滑铁卢大学举办的,加拿大和世界各地的学生都可以参赛。在我们学校,共有39名学生自主决定参加比赛。本次初级数学竞赛的参赛学生全部共有超过8000名,高级数学竞赛参赛学生则有超过11000名。CSMC中排名前25%的学生即为获奖。此外还会有两个校级冠军,他们是分别在两项竞赛中获得最高分的学生。
Q:如何准备本次比赛的?
A:Kind of an extracurricular activity they were in charge of going to the
website, looking at the past contests, going over their knowledge from high
school from grade nine onward to help them with this contest. So, a lot of the
work is really done by the students. We had maybe two tutorial session that were
also student led, before the contest and students got together and they looked
at some math problems and we solved them together.
这个比赛更像是课外活动,学生们自己上网查看过去的竞赛内容,复习从高中九年级开始的知识,从而帮助他们更好地进行竞赛准备,因此很多工作都是由学生自己完成的。在比赛之前我们会开展两次辅导课程,同样也是由学生来主导的,学生们聚在一起共同研究并且解答一些数学题目。
Q:对孩子们取得的成绩有什么想说的?
A:So, what I have to say to the students who won is that it's no small
task, right. It's a major accomplishment so I want them to stay curious and
continue participating in these extracurricular events.
我想对那些想要获奖的学生说,这不是一项小任务,而是一次大的挑战,因此我希望他们能够保持好奇心,继续参加这些课外活动。
获奖同学经验分享
Jack Xu:能够获得好成绩我们都很开心,这对我们也是很大的激励,今后还会继续学好数学,争取斩获更多竞赛成绩。
Jennifer Dai:因为我很喜欢数学,所以报名参加了这次竞赛。赛前我们每天都会花时间复习,也会和数学好的同学一起在图书馆做题、讨论。
在与同学们聊起这次比赛成绩时,他们都十分谦虚,觉得自己并不厉害,山外有山,探索数学的奥秘没有止境。枫华愿意为如海绵般的你们提供更多的机会,更好的平台,为每个枫华学子站上更高的舞台而努力,为点亮你们闪耀着智慧的双眸而前行。
