Math Week · π Day
We Love Math!
On March 14th, a seemingly ordinary day is imbued with special significance by math enthusiasts worldwide due to its phonetic resemblance to Pi (π), approximately 3.14159. To spark students' interest and passion for mathematics, Shenzhen MIS hosted a "Math Week" event from March 10th to March 16th(last week), guiding students through a variety of engaging mathematics activities and immersing them in a celebration of rational thinking and enjoyable experiences.
Fun Challenges Ignite Minds
The math week kicked off with a "Fun Math Puzzle Challenge" during Monday's assembly. Students engaged in brainstorms over classic problems like "Matchstick Triangles" and "Stair Climbing Problems", showcasing their flexible problem-solving skills and innovative thinking through spatial logic and mathematical reasoning.
Raise your hands!🌷
Movie Night: Mathematician's Spirit
On Tuesday evening, we played the classic biographical film A Beautiful Mind for boarding students. It’s an inspirational story of John Nash, a Nobel winner in Economics, and his groundbreaking contributions to game theory, alongside his battle with mental illness.
The discussion session after the movie led students to reflect, "Mathematics is not just cold formulas but a symbol of human wisdom and resilience."
TED Talks Reshape Subject Perception
During Wednesday and Thursday form time, the math department organized two themed TED talks for senior students, Mathematics is Our True Sixth Sense and Mathematics is the Code to Decipher the World, as an effort to inspire students to reevaluate mathematics from philosophical, historical, and practical perspectives. The TED Talks unveiled the hidden power of mathematics in art, technology, and daily life through examples like the Golden Ratio and cryptography.
Meanwhile, Junior students created artwork with idea of π Day. The students unleashed their creativity, and created wonderful pie & π drawing and pictures.

Clan - Team Wisdom
On Thursday afternoon's CCA, we organized the "Mathletes" competition in the MIS atrium. All four clans raced against time to solve 20 math problems covering algebra, geometry, and logic. At the end, the Clan of "Edinburgh" slayed the competition through efficient teamwork and precise calculations.
Pi Day Ignites Campus Enthusiasm
On Friday's "Pi Day" elevated the event to its peak. During the morning recess, students gathered in the atrium for a "Pi Recitation Contest," with the top three winners earning thunderous applause for their impressive performances.

The event also featured interactive zones where students could win prizes through games like "Pi Knowledge Quiz" and "Number Maze."
The specially prepared freshly baked pizza pie (Pi rhymes with Pie) added a unique flavor to the mathematical fun.

The Math Week is over, but the passion for Math exploration continues. We aim to foster students' core competencies in understanding and solving world problems through mathematical thinking by integrating interdisciplinary study. Moving forward, the school will continue to innovate in curriculum practices, to ignite students' love and passion for mathematics.
数学周 · π日
我们热爱数学!
3月14日,这个看似普通的日子,因圆周率π(约3.14159)的谐音被全球数学爱好者赋予特殊意义。为激发同学们对数学学科的兴趣与热爱,3月10日持续至3月16日,深圳曼校举办了“数学周”主题活动,带领学生感受数学的魅力,参与一场理性思维与趣味体验的盛宴。
趣味挑战开启思维碰撞
周一集会上,“趣味数学谜题挑战”率先点燃活动热潮。学生们通过“火柴拼三角形”“爬楼梯问题”等经典题目,在空间逻辑与数理推理中展开头脑风暴。活动现场,同学们或凝神计算,或团队协作,展现出灵活的解题能力与创新思维。

同学们🌷
光影中的数学家精神
在周二的数学电影夜,寄宿生在学校音乐博物馆观看了经典人物传记片《美丽心灵》。影片讲述了诺贝尔经济学奖得主约翰·纳什在博弈论领域的开创性贡献,以及他与精神疾病抗争的励志故事。
观影后,学生们在讨论中感慨:“数学不仅是冰冷的公式,更是人类智慧与坚韧精神的象征。”
TED演讲重塑学科认知
周三与周四,数学组在班级晨会时间,组织中学部学生观看两场主题TED演讲——“数学是我们真正的第六感”以及“数学是破译世界的密码”,引导学生从哲学、科学史和现实应用的角度重新审视数学的价值。演讲者通过黄金分割、密码学等案例,揭示了数学在艺术、科技甚至日常生活中的隐秘力量。
同时,小学部组织学生们绘制数学和π Day主题的图画作品,同学们奇思妙想,将抽象的数学概念化作五彩斑斓的画面。

部落争锋展现团队智慧
周四下午的数学CCA活动中,“数学健儿”竞赛在三楼中庭激烈展开。各部落组队限时挑战20道涵盖代数、几何与逻辑的题目。比赛现场,队员们分工协作、争分夺秒,最终Edinburgh部落凭借高效配合与精准计算摘得桂冠。
π Day狂欢点燃校园热情
周五的“π Day”将活动推向高潮。大课间时分,学生们齐聚中庭参与“π位数背诵大赛”,前三名选手以亮眼的成绩赢得满堂喝彩。
