1st Regional MATHECNOLOGAME COMPETITION

For Grades 9, 10, 11 & 12
(3 students with Brilliant ideas in Math and in I.T)

1st Regional CLASH in MATHECNOLOGAME

Challenge your mind and skills,

Develop Innovative Materials in Mathematics that can be utilized of
many students in the classroom.
Enjoy playing computer games while learning Math.

Rationale:

CREATE MATH Games that will facilitate basic Mathematical learning

using computer as the main tool in the competition. The Competition
seeks to promote excellence by encouraging students to undertake
team projects. It fosters intensive research that improves students'
understanding of the value of scientific study and leads them to
making decisions in their future careers in these disciplines. Team
projects foster collaborative research efforts, as well as individual
contributions to the collaborative endeavor.

Objectives:

A. Enhance learners creativity and critical thinking through

developing basic mathematical games using simple
programs/software.
B. Develop Mathematical concept through programming.

GUIDELINES:
 1. Participants in this competition will be students from Grade 9
to 12 of both Private and Public Schools of DepEd, Region
4A.
2. Each team will be composed of 3 students who excel in
Math and computer belonging in the same Grade level.
3. Participants will develop Math Games that will facilitate
basic Mathematical learning through computer
programs/software.
4. Participants will use program or software offered in the Junior
and Senior High as stated in the curriculum guide for TLE
(such as, Office Software with Publisher, Illustrator and
AutoCAD, Electronics and Computer Servicing, Robotics and
Android Programming with Games, C++, Java netbeans,
Oracle, and Net Programming, Java and Capstone) to
develop the required math computer games.
5. The winner in each Division will qualify in the Regional level.
6. The qualifiers in the Division level will submit their entries to
the Regional Office on or before October 30, 2017
7. The shortlisted teams will compete during RFOT and will
present their output to a panel of judges.
8. The top 3 teams will be declared the winners.
9. The decision of the board of judges is final and irrevocable.

Benefits

Participating in the mathematics research-based competition for

Junior and Senior High School students in the Region will:

Expand your inquiry-based research skills.

Challenge you to develop and create innovative materials that
enhance your creativity while learning and enjoying
mathematical concepts.
Provide the opportunity to interface with other students who
share your interest in research.

ABOUT YOUR PROJECT

A. Project Eligibility

Before you begin, you must determine that your project is eligible for
the Competition.

Each school can form a team to compete in the Division level.

Each Division will submit their top winning entry to the Region on
the first week of the month of October. Only one computer
games output, which will include all of the materials mentioned
in the Competition Guidelines.
Each Division computer games output must be originally
crafted and studied by the team.
If the team were a Finalist in a previous Regional Competition
and intend to submit a previously submitted project, the team
must be able to clearly demonstrate an improvement from
their previous output.
If a team were NOT selected as a Finalist in a previous
Division/Regional Competition, the team may resubmit
Division/Regional output with no changes, or may submit a new
output in the Division level competition.
A maximum 10-page document, which includes the abstract,
objectives, methodology, design, and expected output and its
expected potential impact, should be submitted to the
organizer (Division/Regional)
Outputs that violate any laws, school or Competition
regulations or that may potentially place any student, judge, or
observer in danger are not eligible.

B. Output Topics

The output may involve projects in the fields of mathematics

focused on the following topics.

Basic Math
 Intermediate Algebra
Advanced Algebra
Geometry
Statistics and Probability
Trigonometry

Note: The integrity of the research proposal is the responsibility of the

authors (students) with their coach (Teacher), School Head, with their
Supervisors. Violations of academic integrity will result in
disqualification.

CONTEST proper:

First Phase: Division Level (Note: Same processes should be followed

at the Division)
