MATH-TINIK Theme Lyrics | 1997

Math-Tinik was an educational television program that aired on ABS-CBN in the late 1990s and early 2000s, designed to make learning mathematics fun and engaging for Filipino students. The show used a creative mix of storytelling, real-life applications, and interactive problem-solving to help kids understand math concepts in a way that was easy to grasp. It became a favorite among students and teachers alike, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional classroom instruction. With a team of enthusiastic hosts and relatable lessons, Math-Tinik successfully made math feel less intimidating and more connected to everyday life.

​

The show's theme song, Math-Tinik, was performed by Cris Villonco, with lyrics by Ting-Ting Calzo-Fournier and music by Jungee Marcelo. Released in 1997, the song captured the show’s mission of making math accessible and enjoyable. The lyrics highlight how mathematical patterns exist in nature and everyday life, encouraging kids to see math as a fun and useful skill rather than something to fear. The chorus, "Halina’t sumama na kayo, maglakbay, mag-enjoy, maglaro", invites learners to embark on an exciting math journey, reinforcing the idea that math isn’t just about numbers—it’s about discovering how the world works. Even years after the show ended, its theme song remains a nostalgic reminder of a time when learning math felt like an adventure.

Lyrics:

Hindi mo ba napapansin
Mga bulaklak ay magkakawangis
Mga dahon ay magkakahugis
Hindi mo ba naitatanong
Mundo'y may ayos na sinusundan
Sa Math ninyo yan malalaman… 

Halina’t sumama na kayo
Maglakbay mag-enjoy maglaro
Tuklasin ang Math sa buhay natin
Dalina’t mag-Math na tayo!

Mga number at mga sign
Ay di dapat katakutan
Ito ay mga simbolo
Na gusto nating sabihin at malaman
Kaya sila'y kaibiganin
at kayo'y magtataka
Mundo'y mas mauunawaan…

Halina’t sumama na kayo
Maglakbay mag-enjoy maglaro
Tuklasin ang Math sa buhay natin
Dalina’t mag-Math na tayo
Halina’t sumama na kayo
Maglakbay mag-enjoy maglaro
At naisin
