I. Introduction

King Math’s Point of View

“…I am Mathematics, the King of numbers


The King of problems and the King of answers
I make ones day happy, I make ones day worthy
But sometimes I make it angry and even worry.

I like students who can solve algebra


The most complicated among my genra variables,
Quadrative functions and parabola
for them it’s easy and make them sing La… La… La…

But there are some who hate geometry


Area, segments, polygons and congruency
If they only explore the magic of the study
I know they can make it and become very happy.

May say that statistics are fun


Memorizing, analyzing all can be easily done
Remember the words mean mode and median
They are the best friends under the big bright sun.

Even the brightest students complain on trigonometry


The most difficult for them of all the study
With terms like sine, cosine and tangent
I suggest more patience to avoid my trigo on criticism.

Math is like a goal that requires determination


Math is like any report that needs generalization
Math is like a meeting that make discussion
Math is therefore mathematics
The subject of the new generation…”

Glaiza A. Estabillo
Simple yet so meaningful words of wisdom coming from unknown author who

understand how important Mathematics in one’s life.

Foundation is the lowest load-bearing part of a building, typically below ground

level. It is an underlying basis or principle. Thebasis, starting point, base, point of

departure, beginning, premise…

While, Mathematics is the study of the systems of elementary objects, whose only

considered nature is to be exact, unambiguous (two objects are equal or different, related

or not, an operation gives an exact result…).Mathematics as a whole can be seen as “the

science of all possible worlds” of this kind “of exact objects.

Education is the action or process of teaching someone especially in a school, college

or university. It is also the knowledge, skill, and understanding that you get from

attending in a school. Education is a field that deals with the methods and problems of

teaching.
