WVSU Hosts 1,006 Teachers for K-12 Mass TrainingMath Investigation - Every Math Teacher’s Best ToolNO LESS THAN the DepEd Regional Supervisor for High School Mathematics Jerry Oquendo appealed in the strongest possible way to the 86 Ilonggo participants of the MTAP-IC 2nd Regional Math Investigation Seminar-Workshop to hone their skills “like a sharp knife” in math investigation for it is “every math teacher’s best tool in the classroom.” 
Liking MI (math investigation) to the sharpening of a saw, Oquendo said, “we must not just routinely execute our task as teachers by just doing what is averagely required, but more importantly continue to look for better ways to make our strategies more pointed and sharper… and MI is one of the ways to do it.” “We need to be open and ready enough to master MI in order for us to use this in our classroom—so that students will see further how elegant and exciting high school math is. Hence, I congratulate you all, most especially the MTAP-IC (Mathematics Teachers Association of the Philippines-Iloilo Chapter) organizers, for this very successful seminar-workshop initiative to charge forward and face the educational frontier which is MI.” Math Investigation is an exploration of an open-ended mathematical situation where the student is free to choose what aspects of the situation he or she would like to do. Whatever claims or conjectures and justifications of the same are made as results of the investigation are conveyed in written or oral form for further evaluation. The three-day math investigation seminar-workshop, held April 12, 13, and 21, 2012 at the Center for Education Excellence building at West Visayas State University, was participated in by math teachers from all provinces of Western Visayas, reaching as far from Caluya Island, Antique, Boracay Island in Aklan, and Kabankalan City in Negros Occidental. 
“We are so blessed with the immense help of our DepEd officials, most especially to Regional Director III Dr. Corazon Brown who helped us encourage teachers to join our seminar,” Dr. Herman Lagon, overall organizer of the event, said, adding, “in order to maintain a manageable size of participants, we had to regrettably decline the application of scores of teachers who were late in making the reservation, but we promise them to hold the same set of sessions next year.”

It was held in cooperation with the Department of Education Division of Guimaras. 
“Conceptualized by our founding president Dr. Herman Lagon and put into papers by my predecessor Dr. Myrna Libutaque, this free-of-charge seminar-workshop was organized by the DOST scholars as a venue for them to give back and share what they have learned from school as far as teaching strategies, classroom management, and science-math techniques are concerned,” said Prof. Rosemarie Galvez, president of WDSA, adding, “this gathering has serves as an opportunity to develop a strong research culture among math and science teachers.” “I am thankful for the big help extended by my fellow scholars who did not have second thoughts in rendering their valuable services for free—this despite problem on cost, proximity, hectic schedules and career priorities,” Galvez, who is also a former valedictorian of the host school and a math teacher in University of San Agustin, added.
