Narrative Report

(Number System)

         The aim of this paper is to give a narrative account on our group reporting/ presentation as well as the development and the application of our group plans which took place last 15th and 17th-day of January. Our group was given the task to report on one of the most interesting topics in Math 1 - the Number Systems. A week before the reporting, ma'am Cielo gave us the outline of the activities to be included in the presentation/reporting. She divided the content of the report in three parts: the game, debate about latest issues on number systems and finally, a 30-minute creative presentation. After receiving those instructions we immediately set-up dates to discuss and work on our reporting plans.

         Two days before the reporting, our group meet-up, discussed and made plans. We first planned for the games. After hours of brainstorming, we finally came up with five interesting, mind-sweeping and absolutely mentally and a bit physically stressful games. These games were titled: Sudoku, Binary message decoding, Block counting, Bring me and mixed number system decoding, all assigned to five game stations separately. Each member of our group was assigned to facilitate and provide the necessary materials for each assigned game. Denzelle worked on Sudoku, Tiu on Bring me and Block counting, Girlie on Binary message decoding and I on mixed number system decoding. Due to predicted rainfall on Friday of that week, we've been forced to facilitate the game on Wednesday the same week. Moments before the start of the game, I stood timidly by the side of the tree waiting for the teacher and our classmates to come, a couple of minutes later, suddenly our classmates came rushing onto the first station which signaled the start of the game. The game ended with the Stat group as the winner.

       The second part of our plan was about the 30-minute creative presentation and debate. From the long list of options, we decided to do a game show titled "Celebrity Bluff", a show where I took the role of "Jessica Suho". Denzelle, Girlie and I prepared 5 questions and a PowerPoint presentation each, of course those are all facts and bluffs about number systems.

         As for the debate, we actually planned a radio show on which some issues about numbers and number systems were openly discussed. These topics were: "What is the world's favorite number? And "Who first invented the number system?". Tiu and Girlie were the radio hosts while I and Denzelle were the guests. I am happy that we made the whole presentation fun; we made our classmates laugh and in the same way, filled their heads with some facts. Every member of our group worked hard to complete the tasks given to us.
