The Boundless Mathematics-Charity (BMC) 2025 movement is progressing rapidly, focusing today on tangible needs. Student dedicated the day to collecting detailed data from the two selected Panti Asuhan. They focused on gathering precise numbers for things like resource needs, daily expenses and facility issues. This meticulous data collection ensures that all future projects are based on accurate, quantifiable facts.
Next, the students held a key strategic session to analyse the needs and conditions of the two Panti. The goal was to figure out exactly what they could best help with—identifying the most critical areas where their mathematical projects could make the biggest difference. During this discussion, students who had previously visited care homes shared their personal experiences. This valuable sharing provided crucial real-world context, helping their teams connect the raw data to the human stories and practical needs of the institutions.
Finally, all teams began creating mind maps about the two Panti. This visual tool helps students organise the vast amount of information they have collected, linking specific needs to potential project solutions. The mind maps are essential for translating their research into organised, viable project plans, readying them for the next step of applied mathematics. ***
