A History of the Calendar A fast paced animation explaining the development of the modern calendar. [Time: 3:55] A Mathematical Fable It's not just the squares on the sides of right angles triangles that add up! Problems of the Month Problem solving is the cornerstone of doing mathematics. A problem that you can’t solve in less than a day is usually a problem that is similar to one that you have solved before. But in real life, a problem is a situation that confronts you and you don’t have an idea of where to even start. If we want our students to be problem solvers and mathematically powerful, we must model perseverance and challenge students with non-routine problems. Administrators, teachers and parents should facilitate and support students in the process of attacking and reasoning about the problems. The solution is not as important as the process of problem solving. The educator or parent should not be impatient with the student’s struggle. The principal should embrace the concept of problem solving and model problem-solving leadership, being a facilitator of non-routine problems. Once the problem is presented to the students, the principal should be visible in facilitating the tasks alongside the teachers.

Copyright © 2015 LearnZillion La découverte d'une "tuile" historique secoue le monde des mathématiques SCIENCES - Une équipe de mathématiciens a bouleversé le monde des maths en découvrant un nouveau type de pentagone capable de "paver un plan", c'est-à-dire que les tuiles peuvent s'assembler sur une surface plane sans qu'elles ne se chevauchent ni ne laissent de trous. Seuls quinze pentagones de ce type ont été découverts jusqu'ici. On n'en avait pas découvert depuis trente ans. C'est presque aussi impressionnant que de découvrir un nouvel atome, a déclaré Dr. Casey Mann, maître de conférences en mathématiques à l'université de Washington Bothell et membre de l'équipe. L'équipe a fait cette découverte grâce à un programme informatique conçu pour l'occasion. "Nous avons découvert la tuile en faisant une recherche exhaustive sur un ordinateur grâce à un ensemble de possibilités très large mais fini", a expliqué Casey Mann au journal Le Guardian, en ajoutant que l'équipe avait été "un peu surprise" de découvrir un nouveau type de pentagone. Le nouveau pentagone.

I Love Maths Games The Game of SKUNK Write the following questions on the chalkboard or overhead: I might make more money if I was in business for myself; should I quit my job? An earthquake might destroy my house; should I buy insurance? My mathematics teacher might collect homework today; should I do it? Ask students to share their responses to each of these scenarios. Every day each of us must make choices like those described above. Making the connection between choice and chance is basic to understanding the significance and usefulness of mathematical probability. The game of SKUNK presents middle-grade students with an experience that clearly involves both choice and chance. The Game of SKUNK To start the game each player makes a score sheet like this: Each letter of SKUNK represents a different round of the game; play begins with the "S" column and continue through the "K" column. At the beginning of each round, every player stands. Playing SKUNK with the Whole Class SKUNK Further Examples Sheet Thinking about SKUNK

They are frequently used in physics, engineering, and many other areas. Strictly, the adjective parabolic should be applied only to things that are shaped as a parabola, which is a two-dimensional shape. Part of a parabola (blue), with various features (other colours). Introductory images[edit] Click on any image to enlarge it. Description of final image[edit] History[edit] The earliest known work on conic sections was by Menaechmus in the fourth century BC. Galileo showed that the path of a projectile follows a parabola, a consequence of uniform acceleration due to gravity. Equation in Cartesian coordinates[edit] Squaring both sides and simplifying produces as the equation of the parabola. The equation can be generalized to allow the vertex to be at a point other than the origin by defining the vertex as the point (h, k). Thus:
