3 reasons why Math1 module is the BEST




I grew up in a classroom environment where my math teachers are treated as enemy. We hate them and they us the same. I belong to those kids who would rather scribble in notebook during math. I hate math. So as kid's response to hard subjects, i don't care at all. It's over. All i want is play and bully other classmates and set up pranks. yeah.

Well, i reap the consequences of my action later on. So Math has been a consistent line of 7. I.e. 75, 76, 77, and 75 again!. But i didn't fail up to the point of taking remedial classes although i take tutors.

Later on I realize, when i grew up to become a man, that math is needed and i am not sharp enough to pass this subject. Yeah bearing the flag of University of the Philippines makes anyone a superhero on his own. So i have to do what i can now and respond right by self studying. You know you are a D.E. learner if you came to fear the reality of ignorance. And so i purchased a book from OASIS and do my part through advance study.

These are the 3 reasons why you should love Math1 module by Mr. Reuben V. Quiroga

1. Encouraging tone

So for those who are new in UPOU "feeling", we have module through .pdf or ms word. But these are only accesible to the mystudent portal later on. So we can purchase hardbound books and pay through PNB.

Mr. Quiroga wrote the module to his friend. Yes thanks sir, you treated us as your friends. Why would I say that? The tone he uses is friendly and encouraging and spiritual. Yeah.

Have you read other modules that makes you inferior? Well, interpersonal aspects can be taken to account but everyone loves to interact, be it written or spoken communication. So Mr. Quiroga treats us, you and me, with respect. He uses gentle words to encourage you every ASAQ part, the key answers-section. For instance he uses "cheer up and move on". Of course i won't qoute more because it'll be a spoiler. However, the encouragement is consistent. You can feel that answering wrong will not define who you are or degrade you as D.E. man/woman/professionals/parents. He treats us with respect. And if i only received that same respect from the teachers on my "traditional classroom" days? I would have enjoyed Math. I would have learned not through forced-labor but through willful passion. Thanks Sir Quiroga you write the module best.


2. Math as Human approach

Math, according to our past experience that affects our present perception is a painful subject. We excel in other subjects but not in Math. And that feeling discourages a kid who only wants to be praised for his good deeds and beg patience on his weaknesses. However, isolations and social exclusions are predominant to "traditional approach". And those who are able but are discouraged remains unable because they are never encouraged.

The author explained the reasons why a problem is solved. Instead of the traditional

"1.)A, check.
2.) B, wrong.
3.) B, wrong."

Pattern from the traditional, he explained why it is correct, how to get, and the assurance that it's okay if we don't get it because we can try it again.

3. Worth the pay

First of all, i first hated books. I hate learning. But when i came to discover the fun of having informations rotate your "me time", i fell in love on it. Books are investments. Why? We will live the earthly life by default. As long as there is an Oxygen, there will always be a constant decay. However, man has created mediums of communication where we can relate to the past and the future generations. And this is through writing. So when you collect books, you are investing for a high quality human that are potential leaders. So why acquire hardbound Math1 when we can store it on device storages, use compatible readers, and move on. Well, it's a personal choice. But either be it handheld or virtually stored, what matters is you enjoy the learning approach that works best for you.

Know your intellegence, Gardner's Multiple Intelegence. If you are a Linguistic as I am, then we love to reflect on our books, treat it as Jewels, and later on, pass the same passion on our kids.

So this module worth the pay if you value Education. If you are approving anything that promotes education, i salute you. It'a all worth it.

Surely Math is a friend. We may have started on a wrong foot but there are always second chance to know this subject in a non-biased approach and open hearted learning.
