团队的规模各不相同。虽然合成学生在小团队(3-4人)和中等团队(5-6人)中获得了大量的竞争实践,但我们也希望他们知道为了共同利益做出贡献的感觉,化解分歧,共同面对重大挑战。
Teams come in all sizes. And while Synthesis students get lots of competitive practice in small (3-4 people) and medium (5-6) teams, we also want them to know what it feels like to contribute to the good, to bridge differences, and face big challenges together.

因此,本周不是“队对队”的比赛。众人一心,同舟共济。合成行星将在Proxima游戏中统一对抗外星疾病。这并不容易。岌岌可危的是学生们为他们的家园赢得的所有过去的成就。毕竟,当外星疾病感染行星时,它也会感染它们的奖杯柜。
So this week, it’s not “team vs. team.” It’s all for one, and one for all. Synthesis planets will unify against an alien blight in the game of Proxima. It won’t be easy. At stake are all of the past achievements that student’s have won for their houses. After all, when the blight infects planets, it also infects their trophy cases.

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.

  • 哪些Proxima策略奏效了,哪些没有?它们之间的主要区别是什么?
    Which Proxima strategies worked, and which didn’t? What’s the main difference between them?
  • 你所在的团队氛围如何?不同合成行星的成员是否合作,还是之间存在紧张关系?
    What was the vibe of the teams you were on? Did members of different Synthesis planets work together, or was there tension between them?

讨论 | Discussions

有远见的领导力 | Visionary Leadership

无论是在体育、学校还是玩比邻星Proxima,有远见的领导力都意味着超越当前,预见未来需求,并激励他人朝着共同目标努力。本周的讨论环节为学生们提供了机会,展望20年后的教育、艺术、人工智能、医疗保健、创业,甚至Synthesis本身。
Whether in sports, school, or playing Proxima, visionary leadership is all about seeing beyond the present, anticipating future needs, and motivating others towards a shared goal. This week’s Discussion session gives students the opportunity to look 20 years ahead into the fields of education, arts, AI, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and even Synthesis itself.

他们在当前的世界中看到了什么,将会影响到他们的长远愿景?未来十年可能充满不确定性,但有一件事是确定的:分析趋势、阐述可能性以及考虑限制的技能,适用于任何领域和未来 —— 您的孩子正在进行良好的实践。
What do they see in their world currently that will inform their downstream vision? The next decade may be uncertain, but here’s one thing we’re certain of: the skills of analyzing trends, articulating possibilities, and considering limitations apply to any field and any future — and your child is getting good practice.

新课程 | New Lesson

拼凑一切 | Painting The Pieces Together

拿出锤子、胶水和颜料,因为您的学生将再次探索分数。到目前为止,重点是以1为分子的单位分数。但现在您的学生已经准备好迈出更大的步伐了。在导师的引导下,您的学生将使用大于1的分子绘制分数。通过本课程结束时,他们将自信地识别和书写各种大小的分数。拼凑一切可以在分数单元中找到。
Break out the hammer, glue, and paint because your student will explore fractions again. So far, the focus has been on unit fractions with a one as the numerator. But now your student is ready for more. With the Tutor as their guide, your student will paint fractions with numerators bigger than one. And by the end of the lesson, they will confidently recognize and write fractions of all sizes. Painting The Pieces Together can be found in the Fractions Unit.

零点准备 | Squared Away

准备好了,开始……不要爆破?在这堂课上,您的学生将发现通过零进行乘法的力量和简便性。带着点状爆破器,您的学生将超越简单的技巧和记忆,以便深入了解为什么零乘以零总是得零。零点准备可以在乘法和除法单元中找到。
Ready, set…don’t blast? In this lesson, your student will discover the power and simplicity of multiplying by zero. With the Dot Blaster in hand, your student will go beyond simple tricks and memorization so they can develop a concrete understanding for why multiplying by zero always yields zero. Zeroing In can be found in the Multiplication and Division Unit.
