CVHS holds annual Math Carnival
If you like games based on chance, not skill, then the math carnival is just for you. Those of you who are sophomores, or have been sophomores, remember participating in the annual math carnival. On Feb. 11-12, Integrated Math 2 teachers collaborated to put this yearly event on.
“These games are all made for the students by the students,” said Tagreed Badwai. “You can play any of them you want in exchange for one to three tickets, which are given to all the students.”
Every student before entering the carnival received a certain amount of tickets so they could play the games available. Depending on the popularity of your game or how many people played it, determines the total amount of tickets you receive. Teachers also go around handing certain tickets to students with the best-made games.
The carnival featured intricate student-made games with all kinds of different prizes ranging from stickers and pins to cupcakes and chocolates. One game in particular had a boba-themed layout with prizes to this theme as well. Another game featured a wheel you had to spin that led to rolling a dice to win a prize.
“The games here are all based on probability,” said a CVHS sophomore. “If you get a certain number on the dice you roll or get a certain number on a wheel, then you get to win a prize.”
Students of all grades and classes were encouraged to attend this event, with many stopping by during their free period. The games offered a relaxing period for students to play and have fun.
Everyone seemed to have fun at the carnival and showing off their uniquely made games; this was a fun way to showcase the talent and creativity of students. Not to mention, it was a good time for everyone involved.
I remember doing this during my freshmen year and it wasn’t as big as this because we were still getting back from COVID, but it was still pretty fun. It was nice that I was able to play the games this year in class, see all the projects this year, and see what the environment was meant to be during my freshmen year.
This article was very well written and easy to read. It made me recall when I did the event during when I did Intergrated 2.
This was a great article! It was very well written and I strongly agree with your point. I participated in the carnival and it helped me understand how probability was used in normal life. Amazing work!
I love that this school has such interactive events like this! Keep it up!
There should definitely be more events like this in school. Loved your insight!
