Directions: Answer the following questions briefly.

1. In your own idea, describe what is a language?


Language is a system that humans use to enable communication and understanding. It is
a medium that transmit ideas, thoughts, knowledge and emotions from one person to
another. Knowing language is as important as breathing for it provides us a part of our
identity and it is mainly the reason why we are able to live like how we do right now.
Without language, we won't be able to express our emotions and ideas which is the
beginning of evolution and civilization

2. How are math and language related?


Math and language are related in a way that math itself is a language of numbers and
patterns. In fact, mathematics is considered to be a universal language for it can express
things in which some other language cannot express. Take for example, roads and buildings.
With just words, we cannot build such complex infrastructures. A systematic and complex
structure of organized numbers and patterns are necessary to convey ideas and translate it
into action. That is how math relates with language.

3. Why the language of mathematics is powerful?


As I have answered in previous numbers, math is a language that gives shape of the
world. It guides us to civilization and evolution. With just an idea from math, people can
easily express and absorb ideas that will lead us to further society development. We ca do
anything because of math. From counting money to analyzing data, the world works
because of math. Math is powerful because it is a tool for global understanding and
communication.

4. How can studying mathematical language be beneficial to you as a student?

Studying mathematical language will help me understand more about mathematics and
its equations. This will help me to successfully share and refine my ideas. This will also help
me sharpen my critical thinking skills and understand math in its own language. Knowing
mathematical language will help me in my overall development of mathematical
proficiency.

5. How are you going to apply the knowledge of mathematics language to the real world?
I am going to apply my knowledge of math language in the real world by communicating
math language in any context that has to do with mathematics. I will also utilize it in
analyzing data and ideas so that it can easily be understood and applied. I will also use it in a
way that would refine my ideas and let me understand more on how this world works.
