Descrição: The important ideas of algebra, including patterns, variables, equations, and functions, are the focus of this book. Student activities that introduce and promote familiarity with these ideas include constructing growing patterns using isosceles triangles, analyzing situations with constant or varying rates of change, and observing and representing various patterns in an array. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers (only the additional readings for teachers are included in the link).

Descrição: What is the relationship between modern mathematics - more precisely computational mathematics - and mathematical education? It is this controversal topic that the authors address with an in-depth analysis. In fact, what they present in an extremely well-reasoned account of the development of mathematics and its culture giving concrete recommendation for a much-needed reform of the teaching of mathematics. The book is essential reading for everybody involved in mathematics and science, and mathematics teaching.

Descrição: This book has attempted to provide a set of off beat, fun filled pages. Most of the mothers had a tough time explaining to their child that 11 is eleven and not oneteen and 12 is twelve and not twoteen. The early learner would have often wondered why of all bases this strange number 2.718… was chosen as natural logarithm base called,e. After all why is Mathematics left out of the Nobel Prize by the Academy? Did you know that only a few folds to a paper could take you to the moon? Binary system is okay but why the computer uses such a strange notation as AD45F3? A few brilliant logical and dissection puzzling stories with solutions are to be found here. There does exist a triangle in the universe whose angles add upto more than 180 deg.What made 1729 the taxi number so famous? Some strange path can make a square tyred bicycle move smoothly. All this and more interesting stories are to be found in the book.
