Essay. Discuss briefly and concisely. Rubric Points

If you were born Historian in your generation, how would you describe or tell story about your
encounter with Mathematics. What makes your story unique from that of what is written in the
History of Mathematics?
In mathematics nothing is impossible to solve if you understand the problem. Mathematics is not just a
number, symbols and etc. but also need to analyze what is given about. There are a lot of way or method
to solve a problem either difficult or easy. But as a new generation we must deepen the knowledge about
mathematics make a new thing and from the old method try not to make new simplest way of solving a
problem in mathematics. Because as a new generation, a new history.

GOOD LUCK AND GO OVER YOUR PAPERS. MA’AM NIDA V. ALCANTARA
