Mathematics is the cradle of all creations, without which the world cannot move an inch. Be it a
cook or a farmer, a carpenter or a mechanic, a shopkeeper or a doctor, an engineer or a scientist,
a musician or a magician, everyone needs mathematics in their day-to-day life. Even insects use
mathematics in their everyday life for existence.
Experience says learning mathematics can be made easier and enjoyable if our curriculum
includes mathematical activities and games. Math puzzles and riddles encourage and attract an
alert and open-minded attitude among youngsters and help them develop clarity in their thinking.
Emphasis should be laid on development of clear concept in mathematics in a child, right from
the primary classes.
Part III: (10pts)
Give examples of a real life situation illustrating each of the following:
1. Inductive Reasoning
* Alfred bought one tray of eggs and paid 240 pesos and there are 30 pcs off eggs in a
tray therefore each egg costs 8 pesos.
* Ella had her grades all 1.99 and she passed all of her subjects therefore 1.99 is a passing
grade.
2. Deductive Reasoning
* Fitz Gerald has a friend who has glasses and he is smart he then concluded that people
with glasses are smart.
* Ejay saw Jefferson go down a luxury car and concluded that it was theirs, so he thought
that Jefferson was rich.
3. Intuition
* My friend’s girlfriend has been off lately and she wasn’t even sending or replying texts
therefore he concluded that she was having an affair.
* I am playing cards with my friend Nicole, I dropped the five of hearts and she didn’t
drop any card therefore I concluded that her card was lower than five.
4. Analogy
* My friend is bisexual and people think he’s girl but she is still attracted to both sex.
* I have a Redmi 5A phone and my best friend has also the Redmi 5A and she
accidentally took my phone because we had the same black color and it looks almost the
same.

3. Where is Mathematics?
- The origin of mathematics can be traced to the history and significance of patterns
and numbers. It deals with ideas translated to objects and concepts created by humans.
They are invented to link the meaning of pattern which result experiences associated
with the counting, sequences, and regularities

Activity 2: Submit 2-3 pages’ synthesis paper focusing on one of the following aspects of
mathematics: (15 points)
b. Mathematics helps predict the behavior of nature and phenomena in the world.
c. Mathematics helps control nature and occurrences in the world for our own ends.
1. 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
most useful about mathematics for human kind? (15 points)
- for me is that math is as much about finding useful or interesting as it is about finding true.
Little proving steps can get you from true thing to true thing (bring right is relatively easy so
long as you're not picky about what you're right about) but steering your walk across the true
stuff to something interesting (often a particular interesting thing you suspect is also true) is the
hard part.
- One who has learned to think mathematically will be able to think through many other issues in
life, whether numbers are involved or not. Using discipline to form your opinions is much better
than using “feel good” emotions or laziness. Mathematics, at its core, is a way to organize your
thinking.
- Learning math is good for the brain. Math helps you tell time, helps you with your finances,
makes you a better cook, and helps us have better problem-solving skills. Practically every career
uses math. Math is all around us.
2. Do you think the subject Mathematics in which you are enrolled is important? Yes/No? Why?
Cite five (5) situations. (10 points)
- Yes, because mathematics can help us in everyday living through calculating numbers such as
time, money, things and foods that we bought from supermarket and malls. Mathematics makes
our life orderly and prevents chaos.

Activity No. 15. As a student, what are the importance of the problem solving strategies and its
steps in solving real-life problems? Compose at least three paragraph for your response. (15pts).
Problem solving develops mathematical power. It gives us students the tools to apply our
mathematical knowledge to solve hypothetical and real world problems. Problem solving is
enjoyable. It allows us students to work at our own pace and make decisions about the way we
explore the problem.
Many different strategies include trial and error, applying algorithms, and using heuristics. In
solving a large, complicated problem, it often helps to break the problem into smaller steps that
can be accomplished individually, leading to an overall solution.
Example, when I use a well-known strategy trial and error, I would continue to try different
solutions until I solved the problem.
