Educator stresses significance of Mathematics in a student’s life

A female teacher who is an experienced and expert in teaching Mathematics — a learning area which incidentally is not the favorite of many elementary and secondary school children — has noted that the subject almost always “affects all aspects of human life at different [stages and] degree.”

Educator Cherlita Guimalan stressed that the significance of Mathematics, which is utilized throughout people’s daily lives, is no longer new. Unfortunately, however, she said that “what remains is the fact that students’ achievement in Mathematics has not significantly improved despite its importance and not even with the introduction and use of technology in Mathematics.”
