万双网讯 12月10日，一堂带有深度思考、趣味盎然的STEAM融合课程在四年级4I班开展。

VBS News Net: On December 10, an interesting STEAM inter-disciplinary class was held in class 4I.

本次课程是由数学、人工智能两个学科的老师进行一个多月的交流、探讨、合作完成。课程是建立在北师大数学四年级上册《确定位置》的基础上，在孩子们对数对有一定的认识上，为孩子们扩充平面直角坐标系的知识点。

This course was completed by teachers of Math and AI, which was based on determining the position, the content in the Math textbook.  Students learned the knowledge of the rectangular plane coordinate system in the class. 

课堂伊始，人工智能老师彭平带领孩子们复习了Scratch里的坐标知识，由坐标引出了数学里的数对。

At the beginning of the class, Peng Ping, the AI teacher, led the children to review the knowledge in Scratch.

接着由数学老师段艳珍带领孩子们对"直角坐标系与数对有什么异同"这一问题进行研讨，并在坐标系里画出水平直线、竖线、斜线。

Then Duan Yanzhen, the math teacher, led the children to discuss the problem of the similarities and differences between rectangular coordinate systems and coordinates and draw horizontal lines, vertical lines, and slashes in the coordinate system.

数学老师郑世英现场进行了指导，为学生指明正确的探究方向。

Math teacher Ms. Zheng Shiying pointed out the correct exploration direction for students.

彭老师随即引领孩子们结合数学知识通过Scratch图形化编程软件编写程序，让每个坐标点都画出来，最后形成"4I"图形。

Mr. Peng then led the children to write programs through Scratch combined with mathematical knowledge so that each coordinate could be drawn, and finally, a graph in the shape of '4I' was done.

通过本次融合课的学习，让学生了解了数学里的数对与人工智能Scratch的坐标的异同，掌握坐标的标记。

After finishing this class, students could understand the similarities and differences between the coordinates in mathematics and the coordinates of artificial intelligence.

STEAM课的开展，是万科双语学校培养人格健全、学力卓越，具有国际视野和家国情怀，敢于创造美好未来的中国公民的重要举措。本次跨学科融合课程的实践，让万科双语学校学子充分体会到了运用数学与人工智能知识相结合带来的乐趣，激发了学生进行科学探究的内驱力以及敢于创新的能力，孩子们纷纷表示非常期待再上这么有趣的STEAM课。

The STEAM course is an important measure for VBS to cultivate Chinese citizens who possess sound personalities, academic excellence, international horizons, patriotism, and the courage to create a better future. The practice of this inter-disciplinary teaching made VBS students feel the fun brought by the combination of Math and AI. The STEAM class stimulated the students' internal drive for scientific exploration and innovation. The children said they were looking forward to such an interesting STEAM class again.
