in everyday life. They connected math in real life that mathematics can be used every day in our life. When
it comes to video editing, the video matches the audio narration. The transition also gave liveliness to the
viewers.

III. Need Improvement

the center of idea of the video in relation to math in modern world. The video makers should be more
descriptive and give new knowledge to the viewer.

have recorded their narration in an isolated area to reduce noise.
