At MacDuffie we celebrate maths and science in our classes and across the curriculum. A love of mathematics is of course super important to our studies, but it is also an essential life skill to promote in all our young people, so they can fully engage in the technological challenges of life today. A creative approach to numeracy and a deeper understanding of the insights afforded by the questioning and investigative approaches afforded by scientific study will give the essential skills needed for both College and work lives. And with our amazing team of teachers we can make learning an inspirational activity every day.

That is why we celebrate Pi Day here at MacDuffie and this year our online activities, games and competitions have been an excellent example of our community coming together to work and have fun whilst showing off our Math skills.

我们在美达菲的课堂中跨学科共同庆祝数学和科学。对数学的热爱对于我们的学习当然是非常重要的，但它也是一种年轻人必不可少的生活技能，只有掌握了数学技能，孩子们才能充分适应如今生活中的科技挑战。通过提问获得的创造性计算方法和更深的洞察力、通过科学研究获得的调查方法都是将来的大学学习和工作的必备能力。有了我们优秀的教师团队，我们每天都能使学习成为一项鼓舞人心的活动。

这也是我们美达菲学校为什么要庆祝数学日，今年我们在线的活动、游戏和比赛是一个很好的例子—在展示数学技能的同时提现团队合作和学习的快乐!

Judge评委

To those who participated,

参加数学日的孩子们：

You all really put forth a fantastic effort. Judging the work was not an easy task. The amount of creativity and imagination many of you displayed was wonderful to see. It was exciting to read your ppts and posters to see how much you knew and learned about Pi and its significance.

你们在活动中都付出了极大的努力。评判你们的作品实在很困难。同学们所展示出来的创造性和想象力是惊人的。欣赏你们的展示、海报，看到你们对Pi及其意义的理解是令人兴奋的事情。

Great Work Everyone!!!!

同学们的表现很出色!!!，学课堂上的在线活动

On the afternoon of Friday, March 13th, a 7th and 8th grade of π thematic knowledge and fun contest was held. The activity was divided into two sessions. The students who spoke in the microphone were given opportunities to answer questions, and the questions in the knowledge contest were both easy knowledge about π combined with the science and mathematics they learned, and small activities that allowed students to understand π in daily life, such as within a limited time find as many round items as possible at home, or have the largest circumference than the round items found in a given period of time. The game is very fierce. The seventh and eighth grade scores have been chasing each other.

The second part of the activity was a guessing game. Students draw patterns and guess the described objects according to the teacher's description. Of course, all the patterns have a round participation (first picture is about the most popular app recently –ding talk ) In this activity, the students discussed enthusiastically and participated actively. In the end, the eighth grade scored 65 to 60 to beat the seventh grade. The prizes are Houliyou Pie after school starts!

3月13日周五下午，举办了一场七八年级π主题知识趣味对抗赛， 活动分为两个部分，部分为知识竞答环节，在此环节中， 听到老师指令后，最先连麦的同学，获得抢答机会，知识竞答环节中的题，既有结合所学科学数学关于π的小知识，还有让学生们认识日常生活中的π的小活动，如在限定的时间内，在家里找到尽可能多的圆形物品，或者在规定的时间内比比谁找到的圆形物品周长，比赛很激烈，七八年级比分一直你追我赶，僵持不下。

活动第二部分为猜图游戏，同学们根据老师的描述，画出图案并猜测描述的物体，当然所有的图案都有圆的参与(个图案正是我们天天用的钉钉软件图标)在此活动中，同学们热烈讨论，积极参与，最后总比分八年级以65比60 险胜七年级。奖品是开学后的好丽友派。
