EXERCISE 1
MATHEMATICS OF NATURE

Make a poem or song lyrics or any creative works that best describe and manifest your
appreciation of Mathematics and its interplay in the world, the nature and the people. Write your
output in the format below in another sheet of paper.

“MATHEMATICS”
Song lyrics

When I try to solve and equation,

My world came crashing down.
Cause you see, you see
I’m not like that
I’ve got ration, fraction, in my board
But wiser me, isn’t that controversy
I just want to be in reality
But most of the time we must put in our minds,
Mathematics is what we need today.

Chorus:
We live in this world,
Happy and full of mystery.
Come and join us, Everybody
Mathematics is the key!

Without mathematics, people will buy

Without asking why.
Without mathematics, no one can access
World can’t commit success.
A simple society can lead us free.
We need mathematics for us to fix,
Dealing numbers, counting and measuring.
If there’s mathematics, this is such a simple thing!

EXERCISE 2
THE LANGUAGE OF MATHEMATICS

CHECK YOUR PROGRESS 1 Complete the Table

Study the entries in the first column. Classify each entry as a mathematical expression (EXP), or
a mathematical sentence (SEN) and write in the second column. If mathematical sentence,
classify further the truth value whether always true (T), always false (F), or sometimes
true/sometimes false (ST/SF).

Expression or Truth of
Entries
Sentence Sentences

1. 1 + 2 Expression ST/SF

2. 1 + 2 = 3 Sentence T

3. x + 2 Expression ST/SF

4. 1 + 2+ x Expression ST/SF

5. 1 + 2 + x = x +1 + 2 Sentence T
