Synthesis Week 12/2

本周，Synthesis课程将通过游戏和讨论帮助学生理解和应对“公平”的概念。在Hyperball游戏中，学生将面对不公平的条件，学习在劣势中调整心态；而在讨论环节中，他们将共同探讨公平如何在不同环境中体现。此外，Tutor的新课程“减法爆破”通过趣味挑战帮助学生提高减法技能。
This week, Synthesis lessons focus on helping students understand and navigate the concept of fairness through games and discussions. In Hyperball, students will face unfair conditions, learning to adjust their mindset when at a disadvantage. In the discussion session, they’ll explore how fairness manifests in different contexts.

生活并不总是公平的。虽然不公平的情况对孩子们来说可能很难，但他们未来一定会遇到这样的情形。这意味着我们可以现在就在一个可控且可指导的环境中练习应对。本周，团队将面临刻意设计的不公平游戏条件。问题是：作为队友，当局面对您不利时，您会如何应对？作为问题解决者，当知道自己处于劣势时，您如何调整心态？随着时间的推移，这些技能将增强孩子应对逆境的能力，让他们成长为自信且富有同情心的个体。
Life isn’t always fair. And while unfair situations can be hard for kids, they’re also bound to encounter them in their future. And that means we can practice dealing with them now, in a controlled and coachable environment. This week, therefore, teams will face intentionally unfair playing conditions. The question: as a teammate, how do you respond when the balance is tipped against you? As a problem-solver, how do you adjust your mindset when you know you’re at a disadvantage? Over time, these skills strengthen your child’s ability to handle adversity and grow into a confident and compassionate individual.

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.

• 当您的团队处于劣势时，他们的表现如何？
  How did your team act when they were the underdogs?
• 生活是公平的吗？为什么或为什么不？您能举出自己经历中的例子吗？
  Is life fair? Why or why not? What examples can you give from your own experience?

讨论 | Discussions

公平竞争 | Fair Play

我们将在本周的讨论环节继续探讨“公平”这一主题。在游戏中，公平意味着双方团队都有相同的成功机会。在讨论中，没有团队的概念，但仍然可以存在公平性。作为本周讨论的一部分，学生们将努力确保团队中的每个成员都有机会参与。正如以往，这里没有对错之分，但每个人都有公平表达意见的机会。
We’ll continue the conversation about fairness into this week’s Discussion session. In games, fairness means both teams have the same opportunity to succeed. In discussions, there are no teams. But there can still be fairness. As part of this week’s conversation, students will work to make sure all their team members have the opportunity to contribute. As always, there are no right or wrong answers. But even so, there should be a fair chance for everyone to share their opinions.
