ACTIVITY #1

I. A. Write an essay focusing on the following questions. What new ideas about

Mathematics did you learn? What is it about mathematics that might have changed

your thoughts about it? What is the most useful about mathematics for humankind?

The latest ideas about math that I have learned are the creativity and the mind-blowing numbers

and formulas that mathematics can bring and give to all of us, full of surprises and complicated yet exciting

lessons to dig in and I have also discovered that successful mathematicians are like magicians. They study

the fundamental principles and retain essential ideas while attempting to be careful and exact. When they

study, they build crucial concepts that they subsequently apply to their work and the tricks of their works

are confusing yet entertaining. They understand the importance of accuracy and precision in their work. To

succeed, you must have the mentality that you will endeavor to retain what you learn as you go and that

concepts cannot be lost as you learn.

Mathematics for me is hard to comprehend and not easy to absorb for someone who’s not into

numbers and I cannot claim that my thoughts on mathematics have changed, it is a lovely subject with a

wide range of activities and concepts and because of the continuous growth of our technology, mathematics

is growing as well. But mathematics is still growing, and my thoughts are still the same, but mathematics

is mathematics, and it is a subject where your logical and creative mind always becomes present.

The most useful about mathematics is that mathematics expands, it is useful for mankind because

mathematics takes place in our daily lives, because mathematics improves our capacity for problem-solving.

We can think analytically and reason more clearly thanks to arithmetic. Critical thinking is a component of

analytical thinking. Reasoning is the capacity for rational thought. We need analytical and reasoning

abilities because they enable us to solve difficulties. Wherever you look around, everything has a connection
of mathematics in them, whether they are buildings or vehicles, since mathematics is present and has logic

behind everything whether it is small or large.

B. Do you think the subject Mathematics in which you are enrolled is important?

Yes/No? Why? Cite five (5) situations.

Yes, mathematics is important in everything because almost everything around us involves

mathematics and in every situation there’s mathematics. These are the 5 situations that prove why Math is

Important.

1.) When travelling and packing food and things, to get everything neat and organized, and for

everything to not over or under baggage you need mathematics to know how many things and how things

will weight in order to save space and to avoid overloading.

2.) In cooking and baking, every ingredient is measured according to their respective

measurements.

3.) Loans for homes, vehicles, and education.

4.) Building Establishments.

5.) Managing money.

II. Submit 2–3-page synthesis paper focusing on one of the following aspects of

mathematics:
 Mathematics helps organize patterns and regularities.

Mathematics is like a puzzle that takes time to figure out and get it all done. It is like a spiral it does

not end, and it does not stop growing and expanding. Connected to science and is also like a magic trick. It

tickles your brain and confuses your mind; it complicates things but has a lot of positive and explainable

ideas and points ahead of that. It is like how Isaac Newton studied apples and created formulas and laws

out of them.

The basis of organizations where sets, sequence, symmetry, patterns, and measurement exist has

been laid by mathematics. How is it therefore possible? How can nature have its own measurements and

symmetries? Why is it crucial while executing a certain organization concentration? What does the

persistence of certain patterns perpetuate?

Mathematics helps organize patterns and regularities, to stand this according to Laguilles

(2019) asserts that mathematical patterns are common. There are mathematically connected

patterns in almost everything in nature. The proof that patterns are mathematical in nature may be

seen in flower petals, snowflakes, cloud formations, and spiral objects. These patterns also enable

us to comprehend the behaviors underlying the thing. People in this world are changing because

of efforts to choose the best survival strategies, which include sequential and ordered ideas that

are reflected in an orderly timeline and time management matrix. As like Laguilles (2019) said,

almost everything here on our planet have math and needs math. These patterns occur often and

can occasionally be analytically represented. Symmetries, trees, spirals, meanders, waves, foams,

tessellations, fissures, and stripes are examples of natural patterns.

Mathematics does not only helps organized patterns and regularities, but it is also all about

discovering methods to help model such situations. Trigonometry, Statistics, Calculus, and even

more abstract classes all focus on different aspects of life to make predictions based on an
observable pattern. Much more complicated processes that require more variables may have

tolerances, or error ranges, that must also be calculated to help others see the likelihood of future

occurrences. (Kagan L 2020)

It is obvious that there are patterns and regularities and studying them helps us see how

symmetrical structures and organizational patterns interact. As a result, arithmetic became a well-

known instrument for determining the optimal measurements, but the basis for such things happens

naturally. From the Fibonacci sequence, which may be found in flower petals, mountain slopes,

flat terrain, the roundness of the planet, fish scale arrangements, seed and crack positions,

snowflake edges, and many other places, we can visualize the patterns that already exist. Thus, it

is crucial to recognize and explain the importance of mathematics in all spheres of life.

Math is useful in many aspects of life. The economy (exchange rates, changes in the value

of commodities like gold and oil, etc.; I won't go into the benefits of having a currency, but you

get the picture); comprehending the globe. Understanding the knowledge of the world. We can

observe the world and comprehend how it all functions thanks to subjects like physics and biology.

Biology is far less math-intensive than physics (Bui, J., 2020).

Mathematics is flexible and it keeps expanding just like how science and technology keeps

growing and advancing every single day. Mathematics does not focus only on numbers, equations,

formulas and solving problems but mathematics also promotes logical thinking and mental rigor

and is a useful method for developing mental discipline. Additionally, comprehending

mathematics is essential for learning other academic disciplines like physics, social studies, and

even music and art.
