In the QSI Shenzhen Learning Community, leadership transcends major decisions; it flourishes in everyday acts of care and inspiration. A dedicated group of middle school math students exemplifies this leadership by guiding younger students on a journey of mathematical discovery. Recognizing that sparking interest is vital to learning, they organized themselves to share their math knowledge with 8-10-year-olds, forging connections to the wonders of mathematics. Their teachers embraced the role of ‘math magicians,’ enhancing the tutoring experience with engaging stories, games, and real-world applications. By tailoring lessons to accommodate diverse learning styles, they ensured that each child could progress at their own pace, using interactive methods like questioning, group activities, and math competitions to encourage critical thinking. This initiative is not just about math; it’s a relay of dreams, responsibility, and growth. For the middle school tutors, it fosters a community of passionate learners, while for the younger students, it ignites a love for math and inspires them to explore endless possibilities. Go Dragons! We are incredibly proud of you!
