Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences speaks! Jizhong Education Group launched the first series of activities of Mathematics Festival.
UNESCO has designated March 14th every year as "International Mathematics Day". On March 10th, before the arrival of "International Mathematics Day", sun yat-sen memorial middle school Education Group held the opening ceremony of the first series of activities of Mathematics Festival. It is reported that the Mathematics Festival will last for five days, and related activities include mathematics lectures by academicians of China Academy of Sciences and professors of Beihang University, as well as mathematics story-telling contest, mathematics model making, mathematics creative drawing, mathematics super brain challenge and so on.
During the activity, Tang Tao, academician of China Academy of Sciences, academician of European Academy of Sciences, president of Guangzhou Southern College and honorary president of Jizhong Junior Academy of Sciences, gave an academic feast to the teachers and students of Jizhong Education Group with the theme of "Pushing Open the Door of Math Puzzle —— Starting from Songshan Lake Math Exploration Museum". He started with the first all-ecological mathematics theme exploration museum in China-Dongguan Songshan Lake Mathematics Exploration Museum, explaining the reasons for learning mathematics by hands and the mathematics learning methods in the era of artificial intelligence. Academician Tang Tao said that through hands-on operation, students can transform abstract mathematical knowledge into concrete physical operations, so as to better understand and master mathematical knowledge and feel the pleasure of swimming in the fun mathematical world.
What kind of mathematical ability do you need in the AI era? "The essence of AI is to enable machines to learn like humans. The core is algorithms and the foundation is models, so mathematics has irreplaceable value. When discussing mathematics education in the AI ? ? era, the focus cannot be separated from the improvement of’ mathematical ability’." Academician Tang Tao said that people need to have the ability to ask questions, analyze problems and solve problems comprehensively. They need to understand that algebra, calculus and probability are the core and foundation of AI.
In this regard, Xu Lang, a student in Class 12, Grade Two, Jizhong High School, said that Academician Tang Tao’s lecture brought him a brand-new perspective and an interesting way to learn mathematics. "I used to think that physics and chemistry could be visualized, but I didn’t expect mathematics to be so close to life."
At the opening ceremony, Liang Shifeng, deputy secretary and president of Jizhong Party Committee, revealed that Jizhong Education Group actively responded to the national strategic needs, carried out the "fertile soil plan" and "outstanding plan" in depth, adhered to the classroom teaching concept of "thinking+space" and cultivated top-notch innovative talents facing the future. The school established Jizhong Junior Academy of Sciences, established a mathematical inquiry room and an artificial intelligence inquiry room, invited Academician Tang Tao’s mathematics studio to settle in Jizhong, and hired distinguished professor Hu Weidong of Beijing Institute of Technology as the academic head teacher of the strong foundation class, further opening up the "green channel" for early identification and training of top-notch innovative talents, and striving to cultivate suitable soil for outstanding talents to "emerge". In addition, the school joined the China Mathematical Olympic Hope Alliance and actively explored the discovery and cultivation of top-notch innovative talents in mathematics.
On the same day, a number of guests also unveiled the mathematics inquiry room of Jizhong Education Group. In the research room, more than 10 physical models of mathematical elements bring students an immersive mathematical experience, and students can observe and "play" mathematics from any angle and at close range. According to the introduction of the teacher in charge of teaching, the graphic calculator in the research room is organically related to each functional module, which is convenient for students to study and analyze mathematical problems from multiple angles and levels and create mathematical modeling to solve problems.
