Is it still being used in Schools?
Then ruler gets missing
Then cleaner disappears
Then the sharpener gets lost
The only things that lasts is protractor and that yellow paper.
Were you able to learn how to use everything in the set perfectly?
What's the item that always disappears first for you?
Lol... crazy how the set gets empty within a month.😁
ReplyDeleteI remember it very well and we still have it in Britain. 😆
DeleteWow...
DeleteLmao. I remember........
DeleteMine was always stolen. My Daddy got fed up of buying them then. Life of a boarder ain't easy.
ReplyDeleteIt is still in use but I think different pattern
ReplyDeletenon
ReplyDeletecuz if u misplace any,,then u are dead on arrival when u get home
You had good classmates.
DeleteMine was that stuff with letters, don't know the name, then my sharpener, then eraser, and so on until the mathset gets empty Lol!
ReplyDeleteStencil
DeleteThanks Choice.
Delete😂🤣😂😂
ReplyDeleteMine never lasted even a week. I hated that protractor and maybe that’s why I never got to like or understand angles in mathematics even though I loved the subject.😂🤣😂🤣
aww...good memories
ReplyDeleteThen in TD class we guarded our maths sets cos na protractor dey first lost. Lol.
ReplyDeleteMy baby sis misplaced her ruler,my mum despite her exposure and all of that still scolded my baby sis. I have finally concluded that Being a British citizen and having been around several countries my mum still will not change her African mentality.
ReplyDeleteWhat does exposure have to do with scolding a child? Even oyinbos scold their kids, although they wouldn't spank.
DeleteLol! Let her be with her mentality.
DeleteIn your mind you've sounded as an exposed British citizen !
DeleteLOL
Who told you oyinbo don't smack? Some of them do.
DeleteI live in the abroad and my children speak Yoruba very well and we roll like Africans as per the discipline path and eat all our Nigerian food and our oyinbo food too. I have also instilled discipline in them. Most times I don't even need to use eye contact they already know and understand.
God help us nurture our children the right way.
16:00 we both know how African mothers scold their children is very different so don't go there. I'm not trying to put anyone down use your senses! if you can read and understand you'd get my point.
DeleteAnon 16..00 even a dullard knows better than to compare Africa scold with western scold. Make una dey chill abeg everything no be to pull muscles.
Delete16.45/55 na so the thing pain you reach?
Delete16:42 you live *abroad* not *in the abroad*.
DeleteWhy is this common among some Lagosians?
'In the abroad' is a slang oh oversabi!!!
DeleteCorrecter, what did you graduate with in English Language or is it Law you studied? Hope ure amongst those that were called to Bar 😏😏😏? E be like say u be JJC for this blog as you no know say " in the abroad" is our slang 😏😏🙄.
DeleteBy the way what state are you from? Olodo rabata, u won question me abi. Kk nah
It is still in use, same pattern. Recently, the wife of the Lagos State governor gifted it to all the students in the school where I work.
ReplyDeleteWe weren't taught how to use all the items in the set, just buy and start using.
ReplyDeleteThe sharper or eraser goes missing first before the small pencil.
Yes it's still in use, I even got one for my nephew last term.
ReplyDeleteI never liked maths set because wetin I wan use am do? I never liked mathematics.
Lol you let us know in your tales. Still look forward to your stories.
Delete*i never owned a maths set*
DeleteHi Essa, I won't disappoint.
The one I always use was that one with i ABC I always trace it then after like 2weeks the math set disappears as a whole. God bless my Dad soul I can't count how many he bought, in fact he always has extra in his coat picket on the hanger.
ReplyDeleteI just got one for my daughter yesterday. The one I bought at the beginning of the term is already missing. Same with me when I was in school, it was always getting stolen
ReplyDeletethat's where I use to save money at home, inside that yellow paper.
ReplyDeleteIt's still in use
ReplyDeleteI loved the smell
ReplyDeleteIt smelled?
Deletemy maths teacher bought this for me to encourage me to do maths but i still end up with f9.
ReplyDelete😂 Junior Secondary school days. Eraser and sharpener gets lost first, followed by the pencils. The pen doesn't work. Been long I set my eyes on mathematical set.
ReplyDeleteWe used to call it Masset lol
ReplyDeleteSame here 😂
DeleteBut is the correct thing na 😓🤣🤣. Nobody can change my mind to call it math set.
DeleteStill in use in the UK. Costs about £3-£4.I get them for my sons every start of term and they dutifully lose everything inside by the second week after term starts😣.... Can't complain, I was the same when I was younger 😊
ReplyDeletemine always got stolen!! damn those were the days ( late 70's early 80's)
ReplyDeleteNothing inside mine lost oooo. i dey hold am as if my life depends on it because if anything lost inside i go weeeeeee... later gave mine to a friend sister....
ReplyDeleteYou deserve an award.
DeleteI had my two maths set intact... Both Helix and ABC, I had to give them out to some kids.
ReplyDeleteThe sharpener gets blunt after a while...I never got to use the divider btw
ReplyDeleteThat divider was the most useless for me, almost never used it.
DeleteMy sharpener was always first to miss.
ReplyDeleteMany never used the protractor, couldn't draw a circle with it till secondary level ended.
Hahahaha.
I didnt even know how to use the protractor sef.
DeleteMao is one of the many she's talking of. 😅👍
DeleteStill very much in existence I bought one for my daughter last month.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't remember "Maset"?
ReplyDeleteYup! still in use. I think they now have one in conjunction with WAEC or something.
ReplyDeleteI think it's imported and not made in Aba
ReplyDeleteI remember "masset" in secondary school. It made TD easier for me, wish I was serious in class.
ReplyDeleteEasy
