Welcome to MATH III

Tell me who you are

Don’t ask obvious questions.

“Hi! I’m David. I’m tall. How about you?”

“My name is Nancy, and I usually eat my lunch at noon. Do you also do that?”

“I’m Joey and I’m a handsome boy. Are you?”

Be creative!

“I’m Drew and I have a pet parrot named Barry. I think birds are great. Do you have any pets

of your own?”

“I’m Regina and I don’t have a boyfriend at the moment. Are you single as well, or are you in

a relationship?

Tell me who you are

Mental Discipline

There are some problems throughout the course that would require you to answer without using pen and paper.

Curiosity HiveEach student gets a buzz bug at the start of the class. Once they are able to participate in class, it will be returned to the hive. Anyone who still has a buzz bug after the class will have a task.

Mathematician of the Week

One student will be tasked to creatively present a problem and its solution to the class every Friday of the week.

Geometry Badges

You could earn these badges by doing certain tasks. These could be converted into points to be added into long quizzes.

100th benchmarkingThe scores for the homework will be summarized at the back of the notebook.

Every 100th cumulative score earns you a badge.

Wisdom

What good is mathematics?

In an immature state, NONE!

If nurtured and developed properly, there is no limitation.

Ben Franklin was once asked what good a new invention was,

he responded:“What good is a newborn baby?”
