UNICEF’s Math For Good

Nicholas Dinh ‘20-’21 Vice President

This event lasted until May 30 th at 11:59. In this event volunteers would be practicing social distances but still helping our society out by participating in the UNICEF’s Math for Good Challenge. By actively partaking in this, volunteers could raise money to help fund those in poverty-stricken countries with a better chance of a modern education. Whether it be producing books, resources, or maybe even digitally. The donations gathered by this challenge went towards a good cause.

Volunteers had to answer a multitude of math questions which gave them around 25 cents per question. They would give you a set of questions and timer to which it should be completed in. Your answer will either be right or wrong and if it is wrong, you are not awarded the money involved for that question. Yet at the end of the set, it totals the amount of money you earned and adds it to the total amount you had. This allowed for volunteers to keep on playing and only take a picture at the end of cautious.

The questions themselves were very simple and led to a moment where we could actually go back to a time where in elementary school, did something similar to this. It helped me refresh on certain skills but delighted me in the fact that simple questions can have sums a hardened impact.
