2004 Metrobank-MTAP-DepEd Math Challenge

Metrobank Foundation, MTAP, DepEd Awards Young Math Wizards
 

A new breed of young math wizards is born. Twenty-four elementary and high school students won in the recently concluded 2004 Metrobank-MTAP-DepEd Math Challenge held at the Metrobank Plaza Auditorium in Makati City. Science and Technology secretary Estrella Alabastro was the guest of honor and speaker.

The winners triumphed over more than 237,000 elementary and high school students from public and private schools nationwide who joined this year’s competition.

Close to half a million pesos in cash prizes, plus trophies and medals, were given away to the winners and their coaches courtesy of Metrobank Foundation.

The Math Challenge is a joint project of the Metrobank Foundation, MTAP and DepEd that aims to heighten interest in math among the young and help improve math education in the country. Metrobank expanded the competition in 2001 to include all public and private elementary schools all over the country. Starting last year, the competition also covers high school students in public and private school nationwide.

This year’s Math Challenge is also sponsored by Philippine Savings Bank, Philippine AXA Life Insurance Corporation, Philippine Charter Insurance Corporation and Orix Metro Leasing and Finance Corporation.
