That Day We Stacked The Odds Against Us 那一天，我們獲勝的可能性很小

If you walked down Main Street on the Pudong campus of Shanghai American School recently, you’d have seen wide-eyed elementary school students, inquisitive middle school students, and laughing high school students.

前段時(shí)間，如果你走在上海美國學(xué)校浦東校區(qū)的主街上，你會(huì)看到睜大眼睛的小學(xué)生、好奇的中學(xué)生和哈哈大笑的高中生。

And you might not have guessed that what you’d come across was a lesson in integrated math. But it’s true! It’s called the Probability Project, and it’s when integrated math students from the high school at SAS in Pudong are tasked with applying what they’ve learned by developing games with varying statistical odds.

你可能沒有想到，你所看到的情形發(fā)生在一堂綜合數(shù)學(xué)課上。但事實(shí)就是這樣！這就是我們的“概率項(xiàng)目”。在這個(gè)項(xiàng)目中，上海美國學(xué)校浦東校區(qū)高中部綜合數(shù)學(xué)課的學(xué)生們將通過開發(fā)具有不同統(tǒng)計(jì)概率的游戲來運(yùn)用所學(xué)知識。

Integrated math at SAS is an approach that brings Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Probability into a series of three multi-disciplinary math courses. The course approach was developed by SAS faculty in Pudong and Puxi.

上海美國學(xué)校開設(shè)的綜合數(shù)學(xué)課程是一種將代數(shù)、高等代數(shù)、幾何學(xué)、三角學(xué)和概率論融入到三門多學(xué)科數(shù)學(xué)課程中的方法。該課程是由上海美國學(xué)校浦東和浦西兩個(gè)校區(qū)的教師共同開發(fā)的。

As for the Probability Project? It’s in its third year in Pudong after being developed by three faculty members, including Eric Grochowski (who goes by “Ski” unless you’re feeling formal, in which case “Mr. Ski” works). “We made a point to focus on real life projects to infuse into the math topics,” explained Ski. “I mentioned how games of chance are really interesting to both grown-ups and kids. We decided it would be authentic for the students to develop and analyze their own probability games.” Thus, the Probability Project was born.

而“概率項(xiàng)目”又是什么情況呢？這個(gè)項(xiàng)目已在浦東校區(qū)開展了三年，它是由包括Eric Grochowski（簡稱為Ski，如果你覺得應(yīng)該正式些，也可以稱他為Ski先生）在內(nèi)的三名教師開發(fā)的。Ski解釋說:“我們把重點(diǎn)放在了現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的項(xiàng)目上，將數(shù)學(xué)主題融入其中。我說過，碰運(yùn)氣的游戲?qū)Υ笕撕秃⒆觼碚f都很有趣。我們認(rèn)為，讓學(xué)生們自己開發(fā)并分析概率游戲，可以把數(shù)學(xué)與現(xiàn)實(shí)生活聯(lián)系起來”。這個(gè)“概率項(xiàng)目”便由此誕生了。

There have been some memorable games in those three years. “One game had a 400 to 1 chance of winning a three-foot tall plush bear and a grade 3 student won it within the first 10 minutes,” said Ski. “The little one was very happy with her bear, and the high school students were amazed because they fully understood the incredible odds of that outcome.”

在過去的三年時(shí)間里，有些游戲令人難忘。Ski說道：“有一場游戲設(shè)計(jì)了400:1的獲獎(jiǎng)概率，獎(jiǎng)品則是一只三英尺高的毛絨熊玩具，一名三年級的學(xué)生在一開始的十分鐘內(nèi)就贏得了獎(jiǎng)品。這名小學(xué)生非常開心，而高中生們則很驚訝，因?yàn)樗麄兺耆靼走@種結(jié)果的可能性有多小。”

The Probability Project continues to get tweaked every year, as the game results are synthesized and analyzed. After all, those three-foot tall bears are expensive!

通過對游戲結(jié)果進(jìn)行綜合分析，學(xué)生們每年都在不斷調(diào)整“概率項(xiàng)目”。畢竟，三英尺高的毛絨熊玩具還是很貴的！

IMPROVEMENT. EVERY DAY AT SAS.

進(jìn)步。就在上海美國學(xué)校的每一天。
