"June 23 marks the 100th birthday of Alan Turing. If I had to name five people whose personal efforts led to the defeat of Nazi Germany, the English mathematician would surely be on my list."
"In In Pursuit of the Unknown, celebrated mathematician Ian Stewart uses a handful of mathematical equations to explore the vitally important connections between math and human progress."
first mathematics education seminar: Understanding Abstract Concepts in the Context of Abstract Algebra.
Mathematics is a science of numbers, quantity, and space. All of the listed components are abstract ideas. How do we learn abstraction?"
We specialize in Mathematics Assignments that are complex enough, such as the Law of Probability or Differential and Integral Calculus, Science, Algebra, Geometry and topology, Combinatorics, Logic, Number theory etc Question Can a linear equation and a non linear inequality be solved in the same way? Explain Why. What makes them different?
Pigeons "were taught to order 35 different sets of images, all of which displayed one, two, or three items. Then, the setup changed: values up to nine were introduced. The pigeons were then shown a pair of two familiar numbers (such as two and three), one familiar and one unfamiliar number (such as one and seven), or two unfamiliar numbers (such as five and eight). "
Abstract: "An innovative mathematics game shown to be effective for low-achieving mainstream students is tested in special education for learners with intellectual disabilities. The game relies on a graphical, intuitive representation for numbers and arithmetic operations to foster conceptual understanding and numbers sense, and provides a set of 2-player games to develop strategic thinking and reasoning skills. The game runs on computers and interactive white boards, and as an augmented reality application at a science centre. We compare its use in special education and mainstream education with respect to usage, performance levels and learning gain. The game has been used by teachers in special educations, with gains in mathematical understanding, strategic thinking and communication skills as effects."
Have you ever wanted to create short "how to" video for your students to use for homework, remembering facts, and solving math problems.
How often have your students stated, "I could not complete the homework assignment, because I could not remember the steps and no one could help me."
Well the answer is to create a screencast or video for posting on your class wiki or blog for students to view at home or anywhere else they have web access.
