In our advanced classes, math transforms into an epic quest—each lesson becomes a stage for bold explorers to journey through the winding corridors and secret spaces of a grand, mysterious house. In this adventure, every hallway presents a new challenge, and every room holds a unique mathematical mystery. With each step, imagination sets the floor plan and curiosity opens every door.
走进大班的课堂，数学不再是枯燥的数字，而是超有趣的探索。每节课就像一群小小探险家闯进一座藏满秘密的魔法屋，从基础挑战到隐藏谜题。小探险家们用天马行空的想象画出探险路线，用好奇心推开每扇神秘的门，别提多勇敢啦!

Mapping Marvels: Spatial Concepts
奇趣空间：地图里的奇妙“物语”
Our adventure launched with a tale: Four nervous animals, fleeing a hungry monster, dashed through the forest in search of safety. Their frantic journey ended at the doorstep of an inviting house—and once inside, the real exploration began!
有趣的探险从一个小故事展开：四只毛茸茸的小动物，为了躲避饥肠辘辘的大怪兽，穿越森林，终于抵达了魔法屋门前。一踏进房子，真正的探索就开始啦！
Welcome back little animals!
Students used spatial concepts to help each animal find its own cozy corner of safety within the house. They visualized and designed how rooms connect, choosing the perfect haven for each frantic friend. Through these hands-on experiences, spatial concepts came alive, shifting from an abstract idea to a creative, practical tool—letting our young explorers bring the animals’ sanctuary to life, one thoughtful space at a time.
小小探险家们变身成为“空间设计师”，帮每只小动物找到专属的安全小窝！他们歪着小脑袋想象房间如何搭建，客厅与卧室怎么连接，实际动手去操作尝试，最后稳稳当当地给每只小动物安排好专属的角落。原本抽象的空间概念，一下子变成了触手可及的现实画面！小小探险家们透过一步一步琢磨，把小动物的家从想法变成了真真切切的“小天地”，真的很厉害呢！
Let’s explore!
Counting, Comparing, and the Power of Inequalities
数一数，比一比：不等号的小秘密
Next, the journey led deep into the world of comparisons. Surrounded by colorful fruits, students took part in lively counting and addition activities. These interactive tasks brought the language and logic of inequalities to life. More than and less than became active tools for describing real relationships, sparking debates and discoveries. By touching, seeing, and discussing, learners built a deep, practical understanding of how math describes the world around them.
闯完空间关，转身又进入了“水果欢乐园”。置身在五颜六色的水果世界中，大家开心地数水果、加水果，玩起了超有趣的互动游戏。原来“>”“<”不再是难记的符号，而是用来描述水果多少的“神奇语言”！聊一聊，摸一摸、看一看，不知不觉中，大家就明白了：原来数学就藏在身边，超有意思吧！
We can count and compare.
From Teamwork to Solo Discoveries
从“组队闯关”到“独自探险”
Throughout the story’s twists and turns, teamwork was the magic ingredient that helped the animals—and our students—overcome every challenge. Working side by side allowed them to unlock even the trickiest puzzles.
要说探险里最棒的部分，就是团队合作，一起闯关啦！小小探险家们团结一心想办法，再难的谜题都被他们解开啦。
Teamwork is powerful!
Then, the adventure shifted as each student set out on a solo journey. Armed with their imaginations and a handful of clay, they brought the story into their hands. Filling in dots with colorful clay to build and count fruit collections, they compared their creations—deciding for themselves which cart held more or less. Each clay model became a tiny quest, allowing every explorer to turn story moments into vibrant, tactile math problems they could solve all on their own.
但更让人惊喜的是 “独自探险” 环节。他们用想象力和软软的彩泥，把故事里的场景捏了出来。独立捏水果、填圆点、比多少：“我车里的水果比你的多！”每个彩泥模型里，都是一次迷你的探险体验，让每个小小探险家把故事变成自己能解决的、摸得着的数学小问题！
We can try it in different ways!
The Saga Continues: Math Beyond the Walls
魔法延续：课堂以外的数学世界
Math isn’t just about numbers; it’s about discovering your way through every room of possibility. As students plot out imaginary houses, compare colorful collections, and solve hands-on puzzles, they become ever more confident and creative adventurers—ready to open the next door, wherever the journey leads.
Here’s to our remarkable explorers: may every math challenge help them unlock new rooms filled with curiosity and creativity!
数学远不止于数字，它是孩子们探索世界的万能工具！当他们绘制出想象中的魔法屋、比较五彩斑斓的水果堆、动手破解小谜题时，逐渐蜕变成更加自信、更具创意的生活小能手，无论接下来的旅程将通向何方，他们已经准备好勇敢地推开每一扇门！
致敬我们超棒的小小探险家：愿每一个数学小挑战，都能助你们开启更多充满好奇与创意的新天地！
We did it!
