"RIDDLES"

RIDDLES

1. I am a sum. My addends are five different whole numbers. All my addends are greater than zero and less than eleven. All my addends are odd numbers. What am I?

2. I am a product. I have two factors. One of my factors is the last year of the twentieth century. My other factor is half of a pair. What am I? Clue: Read the definition of “century” in your dictionary.

3. I am a whole number represented by three digits. If you double me, I will still be represented by three digits. That’s true of other numbers as well, but I am larger than any of them. What am I?

4. I am a whole number represented by three digits. I am the smallest three digit whole number that does not contain any 0, 1, 2, or 3. What am I?

5. I am a four digit whole number. Each digit is an even number. All the digits are different. I am the greatest number that can be described that way. What am I?

I tried to answer these riddles and I got all the correct answers. It takes a lot of time for me to find the answers but I enjoyed it a lot.

"MY FAVORITE MATH GAME"

SUDOKU

This is my favorite game because it's challenging and it helps us to improve our knowledge in Math.

"MY INSPIRATION"

MY FAMILY

They are my inspiration because they are the one who gave me love and support. They are very important to me because without them my life is useless.

"MY MATH LIFE"

I love mathematics. My mother is the only one who is good in math in our family. When I was a child I really hate math because I always get low grades in examination. I don’t want my mother to be sad because of my grades so I study hard until I realized that math is an interesting subject. My mother was very happy when she knew that I have a perfect score in our examination in math. She hugged me and said “basta mag study lang makakuha gyud na” then I was very happy. My father is good in math too but not like my mother. Sometimes my mother is not around so I need someone to ask questions. I will ask him about difficult questions in our assignment about math. My little brother  is good in math too. I am very happy when I look at my brother studying because he is so serious. He said to me that he likes math too. When it is math time in our class I feel excited because I can learn new things and ideas. Our teacher teaches us math in the same time values. I will study more about math and improve my skills in solving problems.

I learned many thing when I watch the video “Donald in Mathmagic Land”. I learned that the golden rectangle is very useful in our daily life. I also learned that Pythagoras is greek mathematician and he is the one who created “Pythagorean Theorem.

"MATHEMATICS"

Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma "knowledge, study, learning") is the study of quantity, space, structure, and change.^[2][3] Mathematicians seek out patterns^[4][5] and formulate new conjectures. Mathematicians resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proofs, which are arguments sufficient to convince other mathematicians of their validity. The research required to solve mathematical problems can take years or even centuries of sustained inquiry. However, mathematical proofs are less formal and painstaking than proofs in mathematical logic. Since the pioneering work of Giuseppe Peano, David Hilbert, and others on axiomatic systems in the late 19th century, it has become customary to view mathematical research as establishing truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. When those mathematical structures are good models of real phenomena, then mathematical reasoning often provides insight or predictions.

Through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning, mathematics evolved from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Practical mathematics has been a human activity for as far back as written records exist. Rigorous arguments first appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements. Mathematics continued to develop, for example in China in 300 BC, in India in AD 100^{[citation needed]}, and in the Muslim world in AD 800, until the Renaissance, when mathematical innovations interacting with new scientific discoveries led to a rapid increase in the rate of mathematical discovery that continues to the present day.^[6]

The mathematician Benjamin Peirce called mathematics "the science that draws necessary conclusions".^[7] David Hilbert said of mathematics, "We are not speaking here of arbitrariness in any sense. Mathematics is not like a game whose tasks are determined by arbitrarily stipulated rules. Rather, it is a conceptual system possessing internal necessity that can only be so and by no means otherwise."^[8] Albert Einstein stated that "as far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."^[9]

Mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences. Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematics concerned with application of mathematical knowledge to other fields, inspires and makes use of new mathematical discoveries and sometimes leads to the development of entirely new mathematical disciplines, such as statistics and game theory. Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics, or mathematics for its own sake, without having any application in mind. There is no clear line separating pure and applied mathematics, and practical applications for what began as pure mathematics are often discovered.^[10]
