Book Description
When you're traveling, there are all sorts of numbers to keep track of. If you're driving, how many gallons of gas will you need for the distance you have to cover? How much will those gallons cost you at the pump? If you're going by plane, you'll need to juggle flight schedules. If your plane is delayed by 3 hours, will you be able to make your next connection? And what about if you travel to another country where they use a different kind of money? Will you be able to figure out how to change the money you brought with you into the currency of the country? Will you be able to set your clock back the right amount when you travel across time zones? Travel Math will help you do all this and more!

Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
Life Skills | Practical Application | Travel Math Students Learn the Practical Application of a Wide Range of Math Skills Related to Traveling Through the use of real-life story-problem scenarios, students get plenty of practice with analyzing the information in word problems and applying the correct math operations to solve the problems. Travel Math includes four pages of colorful, realistic images, photos and information for each “travel scenario.” The corresponding word problems were designed to develop math proficiency and to help students understand why mastery of essential math skills is so important to success in the real world. Real-Life Travel Scenarios include: A Family Road Trip, A Train Trip, A Caribbean Cruise, and a Honeymoon to Europe. Questions Students are asked to use the four colorful "travel scenario" pages to find the information they need in order to solve the math word problems. When solving a problem, students may need to use the answer from another problem on the same page. Problems progress in difficulty as students work through the questions for each scenario. The first activity page introduces students to the contents of the scenario pages by asking comprehension questions. Answering these questions will familiarize students with the information they will need to solve the word problems Skills A wide range of math skills is covered in this program. Students will solve word problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as well as money, time, measurement, percents, decimals, and fractions. Some of the word problems are simple, one-step problems while others involve multiple steps that require students to really think about the problem. Each activity page lists the math skills covered at the top of the page. Details Total of 90 Pages Includes: •16 full-color “travel scenario” pages • Activity Pages • Step-by-Step Learning Tools

Time Travel and Other Mathematical Bewilderments
Author: Martin Gardner
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470463652
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games columns in Scientific American inspired and entertained several generations of mathematicians and scientists. Gardner in his crystal-clear prose illuminated corners of mathematics, especially recreational mathematics, that most people had no idea existed. His playful spirit and inquisitive nature invite the reader into an exploration of beautiful mathematical ideas along with him. These columns were both a revelation and a gift when he wrote them; no one--before Gardner--had written about mathematics like this. They continue to be a marvel. This is the original 1988 edition and contains columns published from 1974-1976.

Mathematics and Its Connections to the Arts and Sciences (MACAS)
Author: Claus Michelsen
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031105184
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
This book celebrates the 15th anniversary of the bi-annual symposium series Mathematics and its Connections to the Arts and Sciences (MACAS), which was first held in 2005 following the continued collaboration of an international group of researchers from ICME Topic Study Group 21. The MACAS-conferences bring together scientists and educators who are interested in the connection between mathematics, arts and science in educational curriculum, while emphasizing on, as well as researching about, the role of mathematics. By pooling together these different approaches and viewpoints between mathematics, arts and sciences, this book reveals possible synergies and paths for collaborations. In view of the challenges of the 21st century, a modern approach to education with a focus on multi- and interdisciplinarity is more important than ever. The role of mathematics assumes a key role in this approach as it is connected to all other disciplines, such as STEM education, physics, chemistry, biology, aesthetics and language, and can serve as a bridge between them. This book discusses, amongst others, the curricular approaches to integrate mathematics and other disciplines, the importance of mathematical modelling and the interdisciplinarity ways for learning and studying of mathematics, as well as the intercultural dimensions of mathematics and mathematics in the digital era. All topics will be presented from very different perspectives and regarding very different contexts, including digitization, culture and sustainability. This unique collection will serve as a very valuable and compact source for all above mentioned scientists and educators, as well as for use in advanced teacher education courses.
