作为“数学人”的重大节日，3月14日不可错过！是一年一度的圆周率日。已知最早的大型以 π 为主题的庆祝活动是由物理学家 Larry Shaw 于1988年3月14日，在旧金山科学博物馆组织。
As a significant day for ‘Math-man’, March 14th is the day that can’t be missed. It is identified as the International Pi Day. The earliest known large-scale Pi-themed celebration was organized by Larry Shaw, a physicist on March 14th, 1988, at the San Francisco Science Museum.
青浦协和初中生也在本周的英语数学远程课上，共同祝愿 π 生日快乐让我们来听听他们怎么说？
Middle school students from SUIS Qingpu had great fun celebrating the birthday of π in the English Maths class this week. Let’s hear what they say!
6A Shelly：
我觉得英语数学是一门非常好的学科。在这门学科中我学到了更多的知识。Pi Day 这一天，老师让我们下载了一款叫 Kahoot 的应用程序。依据老师提供的链接和密码就可以进入，关于 Pi Day 的15个问题以游戏形式呈现，检测自己真正懂得了多少和还没有特别掌握的知识点。
I think English Math is a very good subject, but it’s a little bit hard for me. With this subject l can get more knowledge. My teacher Ms. Tina taught us very seriously. During spare time she will give us some fun exercises on the app Kahoot. I think it was very interesting, because with this app, I am able to know how much l had learned, and what else I should know.

英语数学课是一门用英文学习数学的课程，上课时老师会教我们一些英语的数学术语和知识点。趁着圆周率日，我们学习了相关知识，共同庆祝。我们还制作关于 π 的小报，学习用电脑进行设计、排板。活动中我们不仅能巩固以前的知识，还可以拓展。
English Mathematics is a math course taught in English. The teacher usually issues practical questions, plays video materials, or plays PPT to us. In class, the teacher teaches us some English Mathematical terms, their usage and other knowledge. The topic recently is Pi, due to the Pi Day. In the latest class we learned about Pi and Pi rate. Ms. Tina asked us to do a tabloid report on π and let us design a layout using a computer. From the activities, we can not only consolidate previous knowledge, but also learn and expand our scope of new knowledge!
6C Sam：
圆周率日，我们迎合气氛组织了一次关于圆周率的数学活动：我们二至三人一组，制作有关于圆周率日的宣传海报或视频。我们需要设计背景、运用电脑软件、搭配颜色完成任务。看上去小小的一张海报或者短短的几分钟视频，需要懂数学、懂设计、懂得色彩搭配，还要会用软件进行编辑，让我懂得了，做任何一件事都不只是靠一项技能，而是对综合能力的考验和提升，更离不开团队合作、互相帮助。
On Pi Day, we organized an event on the circumference rate. We had two or three people in a group to make a poster for the circumference rate day. We designed the background, used computer software to complete the task. To make a poster or a video, you need to understand mathematics, design, color matching, but also computer skills. I learned that to accomplish something, we need tests and promotion of comprehensive ability instead of skills only. At the same time, it requires teamwork.
6D Hannah：
英语数学让我们在学习数学的同时感受英语魅力，帮助我们提高口语表达能力。在课堂上我们一同跟随老师做练习，分享自己的想法。老师会准备一些视频来帮助我们理解新学的知识点，同时教我们一些数学专有名词的读法以及用法。在堂课上收获满满，不得不说英语数学课真有趣！
English mathematics is a mathematics course taught in English. It can make us feel the charm of English while learning mathematics and help us improve our oral English. In class we do exercises together with the teacher; Share and discuss ideas together; The teacher prepare some videos to help us understand the key points of every lesson. It also teaches us how to read and use proper mathematical terms. This class is really full!
佟巍老师 Ms. Tina：
我们用多元方式激发学生的灵感和学习热情，即使不能在校园里举办 Pi Day 活动，但仍可以让学生感受，原来数学学习丰富多彩，涉及各个领域——与 Pi 相关的地理、历史、英语、科学、建筑、科技、人文等知识。在 Kahoot app 上做竞答、观看趣味视频、动手设计海报、小组探讨互动…… 我们一起享受数学，爱上数学！
We aim to stimulate students’ inspiration and enthusiasm in learning math. Though we can’t hold Pi Day event in campus, we can still help students feel that math learning can also be about geography, history, English, science, architecture, technology, humanities and other knowledge related to Pi. You can also participate in Kahoot! Quiz, the original math learning can be so vivid and interesting. Let’s enjoy math and fall in love with it!
