Mathematics
is perceived by many as a difficult subject. Still, others can not see the
relationship between learning the lesson and its application to real life
situation. The question as to its usefulness made us come up with the idea on
how we are going to use Mathematics in making inferences based from the data
that is to be gathered in our
community.
The
coach and the subject teacher engaged all fourth year students to facilitate
gathering of data. The activity would be an opportunity for students to apply
lessons learned in Statistics. Letters were then given to Barangay Captains
asking for permission to conduct study in their barangays. Waivers were also
given to parents allowing their children to participate in the said activity.
Students then were grouped according to their “purok”. Students belonging to a
certain purok were the ones responsible in gathering data from that purok. Same
set of questions were to be used in the gathering of data to all concerned
purok. Gathering of data were done every 4:00-5:00 PM during weekdays and
8:00-12:00 AM during Saturdays. Data gathered per purok would be collated
serving
as basis of answering
problem/ issues. |
