An example of making a mathematical manuscript newspaper with the theme of "Pythagorean theorem".
1.Decide on a topic
Choose an interesting and exploratory mathematical topic – the Pythagorean theorem. This topic is not only mathematically significant, but it also has a lot of applications in practical life.
2.Collection of Information
The basic content of the Pythagorean theorem: In a right triangle, the sum of squares of the right-angled sides is equal to the squares of the hypotenuses.
Historical background of the Pythagorean theorem: Ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient Greece and other civilizations have all studied and applied the Pythagorean theorem.
Proof of the Pythagorean theorem: There are many methods of proof, such as Zhao Shuang's string diagram, Euclidean proof, etc.
Applications of the Pythagorean theorem: There are applications in architecture, engineering, navigation, and other fields.
3.Design the layout
Title: Choose a bold font and color and write "An Exploration of the Pythagorean Theorem".
Introduction: A brief introduction to the basic content and historical background of the Pythagorean theorem.
Body: Detailed introduction of the proof method and application of the Pythagorean theorem. This can be demonstrated using graphs, formulas, and examples.
Conclusion: Summarize the importance and value of the Pythagorean theorem and encourage readers to continue exploring the mysteries of mathematics.
4.Draw and write
Painting the background with watercolors, you can choose a fresh color like blue or green, giving an atmosphere of tranquility and thought.
Use colored pens to write the title and text, making sure that the handwriting is clear and neat.
Use different colors in the body of the text to distinguish different parts, such as proof methods, application cases, etc.
Add graphics and illustrations where appropriate, such as the figure of a right-angled triangle, the schematic diagram of Zhao Shuang's string diagram, etc.
5.Add notes and explanations
For some complex formulas or concepts, add notes and explanations to help readers understand.
In the application case, the application method and process of the Pythagorean theorem in practical problems are briefly explained.
6.Review and Modify
Once you're done drawing, double-check the hand-copied newspaper for errors or omissions. For example, whether the formula is correct, whether the graphics are accurate, whether the color matching is coordinated, etc. If there is anything that needs to be modified, make adjustments in time.
7.Share and showcase
Show the completed math handwritten newspaper to your classmates, teachers, or family members. They can be invited to share their love and pursuit of mathematics with the mysteries of the Pythagorean theorem.
This case shows how to make a math handwritten newspaper with a practical case. By choosing interesting and exploratory topics, gathering rich materials, designing a well-designed layout, drawing beautiful graphics, and writing clearly, we can produce a math manuscript that is both beautiful and educational.
