Math Festival

Everyone has been excited for the upcoming Math Festival. It has been talked about for quite awhile and now, it is time for it to start.

It was Friday morning and everyone is busy preparing for the program to open the Math Festival. We first had the ceremony to open it up. We had the doxology, followed by the national anthem. Then we had it officially opened and started off with the activities on the list.

There was the comic strip exhibit wherein the masterpieces of students were displayed for their hidden skills and talents to be shown. There was the Scino Damath and the tower of Hanoi, the game I also got addicted to.

I was so absorbed at learning how to play it and do it correctly that I was able to learn in less than a day. It felt as if it was a lot of achievement for me, since I’ve always liked these kinds of games.

Then we also had the Math Trail and the Quiz bee in the morning, wherein we also tried to participate by trying to answer the questions meant for the contestants. Our section got 4th place, but we were proud of our contestants. Then in the afternoon, we had the most awaited event for this festival, the Mr. and Ms. Mathaba pageant. There were four representatives each year level and everyone’s cheering them on.

Event the first years made it a close fight, especially their contestant in Ms. Mathaba. She was really active and full of energy. The second years didn’t draw back as well, they did their best to support their representative and their contestants did their best to give pride to his and her co- students.

But of course, we third years are also in with this pageant. We were cheering on our contestants and they did their best as well, the same as it is with the fourth years. Actually, their Mr. Mathaba was active as well.

With each interval for their talent, and question and answer portion, we are having the Math jingle, the highlight of the event as well. Everyone had their songs performed with originality and creativity. There were others which mad it serious, and others which made us all laugh with their jokes included in their performance.

It was well prepared and everyone’s anticipating to win. It was actually a close fight but in the end, the third year level became the champion for this. And to close it all off, the results were announced in the pageant and everyone went home, with another memory worth keeping within their minds.
