Teaching Number Sense: Kindergarten
This title is part of a three-book Teaching Number Sense series that focuses on the critical role that number sense plays in developing mathematical understanding. Number sense encompasses a wide range of abilities, including being able to make reasonable estimates and to think and reason flexibly. These lessons help students develop good number intuition and the ability to see numbers as tools, not barriers.
This easy-to-read book demonstrates how a simple geometric idea reveals fascinating connections and results in number theory, the mathematics of polyhedra, combinatorial geometry, and group theory. Using a systematic paper-folding procedure it is possible to construct a regular polygon with any number of sides. This remarkable algorithm has led to interesting proofs of certain results in number theory, has been used to answer combinatorial questions involving partitions of space, and has enabled the authors to obtain the formula for the volume of a regular tetrahedron in around three steps, ...
Ace the MAT and prepare for the next phase in your education! MAT Miller Analogies Test, Second Edition, gives you the names and terms you need to know to solve Miller Analogies. It provides lists, definitions, and descriptions of the names and terms in fields such as literature, art, music, mathematics, and the natural and social sciences.
In all historic times all civilized peoples have striven toward mathematics. The prehistoric origins are as irrecoverable as those of language and art, and even the civilized beginnings can only be conjectured from the behavior of primitive peoples today. Whatever its source, mathematics has come down to the present
Exceptionally useful for all persons taking courses in this field. The subject matter is thoroughly developed, beginning with basic probability and exting through binomial, normal, joint, discrete, and continuous distributions. Other sections deal with sampling, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression, and correlation analysis. An extensive number of applications are included.
