We had decided to start the week
with an outdoor game. Just like the previous groups, our game was with stations
where each groups are to play. There were four stations. The game on one station
was forming a particular form out of shapes given. Another was on being able to
measure a triangle on the ground and I forgot what the egg my groupmates
brought was for. I was with a groupmate, in one station. Ours was about using matchsticks
to form different figures with a limited number of moves and time. Some groups
had them all right and some did not. The game ended after all groups had
finished all stations.
On the second day, we had our
debate and the film presentation. The debate topic proceeds on the argument
that “The shortest distance you can go from point a to b is always a straight
line”. I was on the cons. I argued that there are two types of geometry, the
Eucledian and the non-Eucledian. The non-Eucledian has a curved shape thus,
there would not be any straight line to connect point a to point b in the
shortest possible measurement. I also pointed out that the universe is in fact
not flat since space and time is curved caused by gravity of the heavenly
bodies. The debate went well and our pros argued well that it was a very good
and fair. We hadn’t won our audiences hearts with our argument but I think we
had said enough to present our point and made them consider it.
The
presentation we made was a musical about a girl who was not into math since she
had gotten a lot of “Fs” from her tests. She somehow wanted to impress a classmate
she liked however she just cant. Her sister wanted her to appreciate math by
taking her to a “Math wonderland”. People in that place sang and persuaded the
girl to appreciate math especially geometry. Soon, the girl became interested
in math and tried hard to be good at it. And one day she finally got the right
answer and learned to love math. It ended with a song and a live performance.
