Topic: The Utilization and Impracticality of Math Formulas In Real Life to the Students of HUMSS in the Mabini
Academy

Support:

How It Is Utilized:

1. Math helps us to have analytical thinking. If we are able to understand mathematics and arrive at
logical solutions, we will be able to prepare our minds when we have real problems. We can look for the
best logic, see the possible solutions and relate the data we have to reach the conclusion.

2. Analytical thinking develops the ability to investigate and know the truth about the world around
us. Mathematics allows us to reason clearly and logically, taking into account real data and that can be
verified.

3. Mathematics develops the ability to think because to find the solutions, you have to think of a whole
coherent process. It could be said that mathematics is fundamental in the education of children since
math teaches them to think.

4. Mathematics enhances our minds and helps us to deepen and think when we are faced with complex
problems. Our life is composed largely of situations of choice, approach, reasoning and facing
problems to which solutions have to be found. In that sense, mathematics helps you to open your mind
and to understand that there is only one way to solve things. It is to investigate and finally conclude.

5. Mathematics is essential in order not to lose money. In particular, if you are the least bit familiar
with statistics and calculations of interest, in a very easy way you will recognize the economic fraud and
sellers of fog. With the help of science like mathematics, you will avoid a waste of money on various
projects and tips that you believe can help you.

The Impracticalities:

1. ANXIETY

A research examined the influences of test anxiety and metacognitive word knowledge on reading
comprehension performance. This study found that test anxiety exerts a negative influence on students'
metacognitive performances. Although that experiment focused on the reading domain, its results suggest that
metacognition and anxiety are related to performance in other learning domains. Recently, Legg and Locker
measured metacognitive awareness and mathematics anxiety in adults. They hypothesized that individuals
with high metacognition and high mathematics anxiety would tend to display poorer mathematics performance.
However, the results showed that at high anxiety levels, individuals performed increasingly worse as their
metacognition scores decreased, but the performance did not differ at low anxiety levels regardless of the level
of metacognition. However, this study did not investigate the holistic relationship between MA, mathematical
metacognition, and mathematical problem solving in children.

2. STRESS

Brain scans and other neurocognitive research correlate increased math stress levels with
decreased memory efficiency and ultimately a progressive drop in motivated effort. Math negativity is a
stressor you can help your children replace with the pleasure, self-efficacy, motivation, and perseverance of
math positivity.

3. NEGATIVITY

Math negativity often starts young and unchecked, builds up. Math stress and low self-expectations can
come from math stereotype beliefs, parental math negativity, frequent failure to understand math concepts,
or fear of making mistakes. Many early math learning is rote memorization and children become discouraged
when they mistakenly believe that speed and one right answer measure math intelligence and potential.

Consequences of math negativity may include low participation, low challenge tolerance, falling further behind,
behaviour problems, and avoiding the advanced math classes needed for success in many careers after high
school and college.
