News Feature Mental Math for Better Learning Oscar Academy will strengthen its Mental Math Program as early as the first semester. To boost the program, an additional Mental Math Booklet were provided to the students and has become part of the curriculum. Ms. Glyza said that she will have mental Math competition in her classroom because she wants students to shy away from being slaves of technology. With the advent of modernization, students tend to become lazy and just rely on what these things give them. On the other hand, Ms. Cecilia said that Mental math’s benefit will extend towards the practical side of life. Delving deeper, it will help them compute in their dark-est moment when no possible technology is at hand. Competitions of the said activity will have a ru-

bric of preciseness and time pressure. for giving out the

correct answer.
