工作坊簡介

數學與現實世界有什麼關係？為什麼學生必須修讀數學科？學習數學與將來的工作又有什麼關係？修讀本課程的學員將會找到答案。

 

本課程專為小四至小六資優學生而設，課程內容包括：概率的基礎應用、生活中的規律、幾何奇觀、三角學的應用及分形幾何。在課堂上，透過觀察、遊戲、討論及導師指導等不同形式的學習活動，學生可深入了解上述課題、體會數學奧妙之處及提升其創造、批判、解難與溝通方面的能力。

​

目標對象／參加條件

小四至小六的學生：

• 需在小三、小四或小五取得優異的數學科成績；

• 曾獲得任何本地或國際的數學比賽獎項；

• 良好品德

關焯權先生

關焯權先生獲取香港大學教育碩士、理碩士(電腦) 、理學士(工程) 、教育文憑及香港電腦教育學會專業會員。

 

他也曾以借調形式在教育局數學教育組工作兩年，並從2009年開始至今擔任教育局數學組數學閱讀報告比賽的籌委及評判之一。在2009年至2013年期間，他曾獲邀擔任教育局「課程為本學與教資源庫(數學) 」焦點及工作小組成員之一。

 

由2018年開始，他獲委任為世界資優中心的(https://www.wgc.ae/) 香港區協調員，世界資優中心與聯合國教育、科學及文化組織緊密合作。

 

此外，他亦為香港大學教育學院融合及特殊教育研究發展中心轄下資優教育、創意及天才發展工作小組創始成員之一。過往數年，他均擔任暑假資優課程的課程設計者及導師，並早年獲邀向與修讀港大教育學院教育碩士生分享他對數學資優教育的看法。

 

教育局於去年邀請他擔任課業質素保證委員會委員之一，任期為2020至2021。該委員會主要為網上數學科學與教及評核材料(STAR及WLTS)提供專業意見。

 

他也曾分別獲教育局檢討及策劃組和港大教育學院邀請擔任講者，向中學數學老師及修讀港大教育學院教育碩士生分享以英語教授數學的經驗。

​

他亦獲邀擔任教育局評估及考評局組中學數學課業質素保證委員會委員之一，為教育局網上題目庫(STAR)及「網上學與教支援」(WLTS)提供專業的意見。

 

最後，他聯同一位港大教育學院副教授曾撰寫一篇有關數學資優課程設計的論文，並於2013年《資優及天才國際期刊》內發表。他亦曾於香港特別行政區教育局課程發展署數學教育組《2019 學校數學通訊第二十二期》內發表一文章有關數學資優課程的設計理念及實踐。
