Math in Action: Transforming Learning at DVBRMHS

Imagine a place where mathematics isn't stuck in a colorless book but comes to life with fun experiences. At Dr. Victoria B. Roman Memorial High School (DVBRMHS), where Mathematics shines as bright as the sun with the help of The Math Club. Dedicated to making the best learning environment for students, as shown through our constant renovation of the math park, regular enhancement of our facilities, Peer teaching programs, and of course, our math educators who do their best to make sure that their students learn mathematics. Enroll with us to experience how our park, combined with passionate mentors, transforms math learning into an adventure, making every visit a step toward a brighter future.

In our small Math Park, there are many things to see and learn. On the walls, there are math exercises that can be solved by students. Various shapes and signs can also be seen on the walls, and beautiful plants to admire. A bench where we can rest or do math-related activities. We can also hang out there with friends and teachers while studying math. When you visit the Math Park, you may find the right formula you are looking for, learn the correct use of numbers, and sharpen your problem-solving skills in math.

Math teachers and students collaborated to transform the Math Park into a vibrant learning space. They repainted walls with bright colors, added artistic math designs, and built bamboo shades for comfort. Creative decorations like numbers, shapes, and problem-solving stations enhanced the park's educational appeal. Next, we plan to create a large floor puzzle filled with math equations.

Renovations have been made to our math learning center to create a more engaging atmosphere for students. The addition of better seating arrangements—comfortable chairs, fixing the door, better station for books, and group tables- supports different learning preferences and encourages both solo and group work. These updated resources, along with access to knowledgeable staff and tutors, provide students with personalized assistance and a space to deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts.

One of our many projects is Gulayan Sa Matematika (Gardening in Mathematics). it's a program that offers a unique approach to mathematics education, seamlessly blending practical gardening activities with mathematical concepts.

The core concept involves integrating gardening projects within a park setting. Students actively apply mathematical skills. For example, measuring plot dimensions of plants length, area, and volume.

Crops harvested at the math park garden can help the school for many reasons.

First, for educational purposes. Students can learn math concepts through hands-on activities like measuring plant growth, calculating area and perimeter, or using statistics to track yields.

Second, healthy school Meals. If the crops are edible, they can be used in the school canteen to provide fresh and nutritious food. Lastly, fundraising. Selling the harvested crops can generate funds for school programs and some supplies.

Peer teaching is also one of the things that we do, it's a collaborative method in which our officers take on the role of instructors for their peers, providing an effective means of improving mathematical comprehension. Those who teach not only gain confidence but also reinforce their understanding through the process of explanation, thereby deepening their grasp of the material. Conversely, students who receive instruction find the experience to be more engaging and relatable, as the explanations tend to be more accessible and less intimidating than those provided by a traditional authority figure.

We believe that every student has the potential to excel in mathematics with the right support and environment. That’s why we provide engaging learning experiences, hands-on activities, and a welcoming community that makes math enjoyable and accessible to all. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your skills, discover new ways to solve problems, or simply enjoy a more interactive approach to learning, our school offers an educational experience that goes beyond the classroom.

We also participated in the 5th National Vedic Mathematics Olympiad, with Johan Dale Sevilla earning a Merit Award. Our confidence came from the strong communication and collaboration we’ve built as a team. Actively joining competitions, practicing, and working together have sharpened our problem-solving skills. This is just one of many achievements, and we remain committed to growing, representing our school, and showcasing our passion for math.

At DVBRMHS, we believe that mathematics should be an adventure, not a challenge. Through our vibrant Math Park, peer teaching programs, and innovative projects like Gulayan Sa Matematika, we create an engaging and supportive learning environment where students can develop a deep appreciation for math. By combining hands-on activities, real-world applications, and collaborative learning, we equip students with the confidence and skills they need to succeed.

With every lesson, problem solved, and discovery made, we turn math into an exciting journey that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for lifelong learning. Join us at Dr. Victoria B. Roman Memorial High School and be part of a school that turns challenges into opportunities, making learning both exciting and fulfilling.
