In a Math1 class, students are divided and grouped according to different topics of mathematics. Each group is tasked to facilitate a game, a debate, and a creative performance with regards to their assigned topic. Me and my groupmates were assigned with the topic of Algebra. Well, more like we aggressively picked Algebra. Hehe.
Each group was given two meetings for presentation. We spent the first day for the game. Our game was snake-and-ladder - arrows-and-ladders style. Each player (the remaining groups) is given a chance to roll a dice. After then, they would have to answer a question based on Algebra, which I was assigned to come up with. They would move forward according to the number indicated on their rolled dice if they answered correctly, otherwise, they would have to stay on their previous spot. The team that would get the highest score or the farthest spot is the winner.
For the second meeting, we had a debate on the topic, "In theory, division by zero is possible." After preparation, we presented our debate and I was on the negative side. We ended the meeting with a group performance by singing songs on slope-intercept (to the tune of 'Good Girls Go Bad' entitled y=mx+b) and studying math (to the tune of 'The Lazy Song'). We also presented videos and a humorous love story concerning maths.
The presentation was really fun and everyone enjoyed it. This just shows that anyone can have fun with Algebra, or maths, in general. Maths is part of our daily lives. We should realize and appreciate its importance as it makes our life meaningful and convenient.
