2019｜Math
On January 5th, 25 talented mathematicians from 7th and 8th grade kicked off the new year by attending the Berkeley Mini Math Tournament in Beijing. Despite having many other responsibilities, these dedicated students attended every practice Ms. Yan held so that they could represent SHSID well in the competition.
The competition itself consisted of four parts: individual, team, speed, and puzzle rounds. The 25 participants performed well in all events! In the individual round, Joey, Maxwell, Lucas, and five other students were named the top 50 in China, with Eric earning 7th place. In the team round, two teams from SHSID tied for 4th place. The best results, however, were during the speed round, where Eric and Lucas’s team received 2nd place, while Max and Daniel’s team received 3rd place. The last part of the competition was the puzzle round, which is typically the most difficult event. The puzzles tested the students’ ability to apply their critical thinking and logical reasoning skills. Faced with this challenge, Max and Daniel’s team worked together to accomplish an impressive feat: ranking 8th among all Chinese teams! Overall, two of the SHSID teams scored in the top 10 out of more than 100 teams from all over China.
In this competition, SHSID students displayed a deeper understanding of mathematics and ultimately earned glory for their school. All the students expressed excitement about getting better at math and scoring even higher next year. We wish them all the best in the future!
每個人都應該有些精彩的表現來迎接新的一年。在1月5日，上海中學國際部7、8年級的25位同學就一起來到北京參加了美國加州伯克利大學初中數學學術活動（BmMT）。同學們十分重視此次比賽，賽前在閆老師的組織下積極進行訓練。
美國加州伯克利大學初中數學學術活動（BmMT，Berkeley mini Math Tournament）由四部分組成的：個人賽，團隊賽，團隊速度賽，以及解謎賽。這次比賽同學們發揮得非常好。在個人賽中，何豐名、李易之、吳裕翔、何思熠等八位同學獲得全國前50，其中何豐名獲得中國區第七。在團隊賽中，兩組同學并列斬獲中國區第四的好成績。同學們發揮最好的就是速度賽，劉英科、陳彥伯小組獲得中國區第三；何豐名、吳裕翔小組獲得中國區第二的好成績！考試的最后一部分是解謎賽，測試的是同學們的邏輯思維能力和思考觀察能力，這對同學們來說，是最有挑戰的一個部分；在解謎賽中，劉英科、陳彥伯小組獲得中國區第八。總排名中有兩個小組進入全國前十名。
此次比賽中，上海中學國際部的同學們將他們對數學的理解和興趣充分展示出來，為學校爭得榮譽。同學們表示接下來會更加努力學習數學，希望明年能夠取得更優異的成績！
