本周，Synthesis课程将带领学生们通过改进后的“电池未含”游戏来提升专注力。此外，讨论环节将引导学生思考在复杂问题中如何确定最佳的解决顺序，让他们在逐步解决问题的过程中建立更强的逻辑思维能力。
This week, Synthesis lessons will boost their focus through the updated “Batteries Not Included” game. Additionally, the discussion session will lead students to think about determining the best order for tackling complex problems, helping them build stronger logical thinking skills through step-by-step problem-solving.

电池未含 | Batteries Not Included
升级的游戏机制额外课程。“不含电池”，Synthesis 的经典游戏之一，现已升级，加入了一个新机制，要求团队在决策时更加专注。学生将在下周的常规课程中简单体验一下，但了解 Synthesis 的孩子们，他们会希望更多。因此，我们在11月29-30日开放了六个额外的课程，让团队能够在专注力上建立耐力。这是因为专注力和其他技能一样：通过练习会更强。
EXTRA SESSIONS for UPGRADED GAME MECHANICS. We’ve leveled up “Batteries Not Included,” a Synthesis favorite, with a new mechanic that requires teams to put more focus into their decision-making. Students will get a small taste of it during next week’s regular session, but if we know Synthesis kids, they’ll want more. A lot more. So we’ve opened up six extra slots on November 29-30 for teams to build endurance in their focus. That’s because focus is a skill like any other: it gets stronger with practice.

反思 | Post-play
以下是一些后续反思问题，如果您希望与您的孩子讨论这次经历的话。
Here are some follow-up reflection questions, in case you’d like to discuss the experience with your child.
- 连续两周的竞争是否对您的团队动态产生了影响？
Did back-to-back competitive weeks have an effect on your team’s dynamic? - 在您的经验中，竞争会激发人们的优点还是缺点？
In your experience, does competition bring out the best or the worst in people?

讨论 | Discussions
分清主次 | First Things First
随着年龄的增长，我们的问题变得更加复杂。这也意味着解决方案不再简单，而是需要多步骤的过程才能找到解决办法：事情的正确顺序是什么？如果我们首先做一件事，之后会遇到阻碍吗？如果我们先做另一件事，之后会更加顺利吗？这就是本次课程的主题。每个场景都有三个步骤。问题是，最佳顺序是什么——为什么？
As we get older, our problems get more complicated. And that means the solutions aren’t simple anymore. Instead, they take a multi-step process to arrive at a resolution: what is the right order things should be done? If we do one thing first, will it run into a blocker later? If we do a different thing first, will it make things smoother down the line? That’s what this session is about. Each scenario has three steps. The question is, what’s the best order — and why?

一与完成 | One and Done
在“一与完成”课程中，学生将探索数字1在除法中的独特属性。他们将深入理解为何除以1总是得到原数，并能够将除法的恒等性质映射到清晰的视觉证明中。他们将超越简单记忆除法事实，深入理解背后的数学原理。“一与完成”可以在乘法和除法单元中找到。
In One and Done, students will explore the unique properties of the number 1 in division. They will gain conceptual clarity on why dividing by 1 always results in the original number and be able to map the identity property of division to a clear visual proof. They will develop a deep understanding of the underlying mathematical principles at play, moving beyond just memorizing division facts. One and Done can be found in the Multiplication and Division Unit.
