1 DRAGON NEWSLETTER EDUCATE. ENGAGE. EMPOWER. Chinese International School Manila May 4, 2018 Dear Parents, CISM Celebrates Math Week CISM students enjoy the Math Interactive Center. Math is fun! This simple quote was brought to life during CISM s Math Week. Thanks to our enthusiastic math teachers, our learners have been engaging in fun math activities over the past few days. The highlight was the Math Interactive Center set up in the school lobby, which featured: a Damath Corner for playing Turkish checkers, a Rubik s Cube Corner where beginners tried their luck at solving this Hungarian puzzle; and a Tangram Corner where students engaged in the old Chinese practice of making pictures with assorted shapes. The Math Interactive Center also showcased student work, including Grade 7 s miniature houses, Grade 8 s exploding boxes, Grade 10 s mathematical models, and Grade 12 s string art. While Math is an essential subject for students, it is also a beautiful intellectual creation that is worthy of celebration. Kudos to our fabulous Math Department for inspiring us all to enjoy math. Weekly Message from the Head of Schools Tim Boulton Head of Schools NO CLASSES on May 14 (Monday) to give way to the local elections. Reminders School starts every WED at 8:20 AM Important Dates May 12 (Saturday) YCT Test May 14 (Monday) Local Elections No Classes
