Weekly Dose of Mathematics

           Getting excited every week for the Math iz it! Our club has an activity wherein we give math riddles every week to be answered by the students. The answers will be written on a stub sold by the school level officers of the Calgeotrists’s society.
              The Math iz it has an aim of instilling math in every CavScian not just during their math time but also exercise their analysis and critical thinking during their free time.
            Every morning of Monday, Kuya Thogie, our club president then, announced the math riddle to be solved by the students during the flag raising ceremony. He also posted the question on the bulletin board of the Calgeotrists’s Society. At first, everyone was excited in solving the riddle and they keep on asking us when the stubs will be given. At 9:00 in the morning, we go to the room of Kuya Thogie to get the stubs to be distributed to the participants. All of them were waiting hard for the stubs to be distributed. They would ask for it every morning and we would have a hard time answering them on when the stubs are given because we were also busy. Although we had a hard time it was full of enjoyment. Then every Friday, we would give the payment for the stubs. It was a difficult task since sometimes all of the stubs won’t be bought so we need to pay for the remaining stubs.
            It was very hard continuing the Math iz it but all our hard works paid off. Even us, the school level officers, answered the math riddles posted.  We admit that those math riddles were hard but they were challenging.
            The totality of the Math iz it was fun and very interesting. We hope this year we will have a better and exciting math iz it. It was a really fun experience since the students who want to have the stubs can’t answer the math riddles and they don’t know how to solve them.
            It was a really nice experience since it made us feel again the importance of time management for we should always find time to go to Kuya Thogie. We also learned how to be very responsible so that we would not forget what time we should go to Kuya Thogie.Although sometimes we were irresponsible, that is why we were often scolded by Kuya Thogie. Of course, we understood him since he just wants the activity to be successful.

Happiness at Stake

           Embroidered with all the needed things, well by all the members of the club the stage, and other places needed for some competitions are all set for the festival this day. The gym was beautifully adorned with blue banderitas, which added to the Math spirit of the school. The sashes, trophies and certificates are already hidden too, in a place where no one goes, the Math Center. A Math Festival, yes your guess is right, a Math Festival is going to happen.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they realized that the Math Festival is approaching. Excited? Of course.Nervous? Definitely not.Happy? Happy! Everyone is happy not only because there will be no classes, sure, some part of us cheered when we knew that there will be no classes, but mainly because, once again, we are to make friends, learn something new.
          So here we are, in blue because Math Club yep, shuddering with excitement.  Anyway, all you’re going to read is about Math behold. We are the committee, and we’ll be busy for the whole day, assisting everyone, doing errands for the guests, and whatnot.
          The first event for the day is the math quiz bee which was held in the IV – Oxygen room. An hour and a half is allotted for this phase of the quiz. Everyone is so quiet then and Mr.Ces was their facilitator.
The time assigned is over and we checked their papers. Among the papers that we checked, the highest scorer is a III – Nitrogen student. She had a score more than 20 yet the test consists only 40 items.
The finals of the quiz bee is starting and the facilitator is still Mr.Ces. There are ten finalists and guess who did win, not the III – Nitrogen students! They might have been frustrated by the result since they were the leading group in the beginning of the finals.
Next event is the Bb. at G. Sipnayan which supposedly means Ms. and Mr. Mathematics. This time everyone is so excited and they are like screaming for their bet pairs. And still, their shouts didn’t work; only their votes, a peso for one.
            And things shifted fast and later on, the day is over. Everything was worthwhile.
