I think it was the first time Zara had come across origami.
我想这是萨拉第一次接触折纸。
She looked as if she didn't really get what was going on.
她看起来好像真的不知道发生了什么事。
She seemed unsure about what she was supposed to do, but in the end hers didn't turn out too badly.
她似乎不确定自己应该做什么,但最终她的结果并不是太糟糕。
Yeah.
是的。
I'm sure it was a positive learning experience for her.
我相信这对她来说是一次积极的学习经历。
Mmm.
嗯。
I think one reason why the origami activity worked so well in this class was that the teacher was well-prepared.
我认为折纸活动在这节课上效果很好的一个原因是老师准备得很充分。
Right.
是这样。
I think it would have taken me ages to prepare examples, showing each of the steps involved in making the bird.
我想我会花很长时间来准备样例,展示制作这只鸟的每一个步骤。
But that was a really good idea.
但这真的是个好主意。
The children could see what they were aiming for and much better for them to be able to hold something, rather than just looking at pictures.
孩子们可以看到他们的目标是什么。而且对他们来说,能拿到实物而不仅仅是看照片,效果要好得多。
Mmm...
嗯...
Those physical examples supported her verbal explanations really well.
这些现场例子很好地支持了她口头的解释。
It's strange that origami isn't used more widely.
奇怪的是,折纸没有得到更广泛的应用。
Why do you think that is?
你认为这是为什么?
Well, teachers may just feel it's not that appealing to children who are used to doing everything on computers, especially boys.
嗯,老师们可能只是觉得折纸对习惯于在电脑上做所有事的孩子们没有那么大的吸引力,尤其是男孩。
Even if they are aware of the benefits.
即使他们意识到了好处。
Oh, I don't know.
哦,我不知道。
It's no different to any other craft activity.
这与任何其他手工活动没有什么不同。
I bet it's because so many teachers are clumsy like me.
我打赌这是因为很多老师都像我一样笨手笨脚的。
That's true.
那是真的。
Too much effort required if you're not good with your hands.
如果你的手不巧,就需要付出很多的努力。
Well, anyway, I think we should try it out in our maths teaching practice with Year 3.
好吧,无论如何,我认为我们应该在三年级的数学教学实践中尝试一下。
I can see using origami is a really engaging way of reinforcing children's knowledge of geometric shapes, like they were doing in the video, but I think it would also work really well for presenting fractions, which is coming up soon.
我可以看到,使用折纸是一种非常吸引人的方式来加强孩子们对几何形状的知识,就像他们在视频中所做的那样,但我认为它在呈现分数方面也非常有效。很快这样做。
Good idea!
好主意!
That's something most of the kids in that class might struggle with.
这是那个班的大多数孩子可能会感到费解的问题。
Origami would also be good practice for using symmetry, but I think they did that last term.
折纸也是关于对称的很好的练习方法,但我认为他们上学期就是这样做的。
OK, well.
OK,好吧。
Let's try and get some ideas together and plan the lesson next week.
让我们试着集思广益来计划下周的课程。
OK,if you could all stop …
好了,如果你们都能阻止…
