从今天开始，我们将每周一上午10点至12点PT和每周五下午1点至3点PT开设新的团队游戏时间。希望能在那里见到你的孩子！游戏时间也会准时开始，所以记得准时登录——上周的“Synthesis本周动态”邮件中有完整的详细信息。本周，我们将举办一场Hyperball联赛和推出新的讨论情景。
We’re opening new weekly Play times on Mondays from 10am-12pm PT and Fridays from 1pm-3pm PT starting today. We hope to see your child there! Play sessions also start punctually, so remember to log in on time – full details are available in last week’s “This Week at Synthesis” email. This week, we have a Hyperball house tournament and new Discussion scenarios.

在 Tutor 系统中，本周更新了课程：乘法网格-闪电模式。乘法网格有了新的挑战——如果您的学生持续正确回答乘法问题，他们可以选择进入全自适应的闪电模式，以提高他们的乘法流畅度和自动性。
This week with Synthesis Tutor, we have a lesson update we hope your child enjoys. Multiplication Griddy – Lightning Mode: The Multiplication Griddy has a new challenge. If your student consistently answers their multiplication facts correctly, they can opt into a fully adaptive lightning mode to build their multiplication fluency and automaticity.

比赛开始了！在接下来的两周里，学生们将争夺Hyperball奖杯——这是Synthesis的首个活动。
The race is on! For the next two weeks, students will compete for the Hyperball Trophy — a first-ever event at Synthesis.

学生们将以“房屋”的形式参赛，而不是作为单独的团队，这是一组团队共同努力、共同游戏和互相帮助的方式。这是一个让他们建立社区并更频繁地见到朋友的机会，也是一个让他们的房屋登上排行榜顶部的机会。
Instead of just playing as a single team, students will play as a “house,” a collection of teams that work together, play together, and help each other. It’s a way for them to build community and see friends more consistently — and it’s an opportunity to help their house land at the top of the leaderboard.

反思 | Post-play

讨论 | Discussions
最重要的是什么？ | What Matters Most?

无论是赢得Hyperball奖杯还是通过一场考试，孩子们都有自己的优先事项，那些对他们来说最重要的事情。但是当他们的优先事项发生冲突时，他们如何选择最重要的事情？这也是一个对成年人而言很好的问题。
Whether it’s winning the Hyperball Trophy or acing an exam, kids have priorities, the things that matter most to them. But when their priorities compete, how do they choose the most important one? It’s a good question for adults, too.

本周，我们要求学生对他们的优先事项进行排名——他们是否会在商业领域平衡道德和利润，在面对欺凌时确保个人安全，并在时尚界权衡成本和质量？他们将把哪个优先事项放在第一、第二和第三位？这里没有对错答案，只有让团队解释对他们最重要的事情的机会。
This week, we ask students to rank their priorities — will they balance ethics and profit in the business realm, ensure personal safety while confronting bullies, and trade cost for quality in fashion? What priority will they put first, second, and third? There are no right or wrong answers here, just opportunities for teams to explain what matters most to them.

乘法网格-闪电模式
Multiplication Griddy – Lightning Mode

乘法网格有了新的挑战。如果您的学生持续正确回答乘法问题，他们可以选择进入全自适应的闪电模式，以提高他们的乘法流畅度和自动性。在这种模式下，您的学生将力争为每个乘法问题创造个人最佳时间。他们能否在两秒内回答每个问题，并在网格上填满闪电符号？通过这个最新的更新，我们相信乘法网格是初学者和专家学习和练习乘法表的最佳方式。
The Multiplication Griddy has a new challenge. If your student consistently answers their multiplication facts correctly, they can opt into a fully adaptive lightning mode to build their multiplication fluency and automaticity. In this mode, your student will aim to score a personal best time for each multiplication problem. Can they fill the board with lightning bolts by answering each question in under two seconds? With this newest update, we believe the Multiplication Griddy is the best way to learn and practice multiplication tables for beginners and experts alike.
