Egyptian mathematics

I almost had a heart attack when I received my math test with a big fat red F on top of it. It was the third F I've gotten alone in just math class. I was good in the other subjects such as, physical education, science, and reading. The only thing that I had trouble with was math, I hated math and I didn't understand a single thing that was happening when she taught a certain subject. I was going to have to do summer school if I didn’t get my grade up, and I already had my vacation planned out.…

the strength of human blood appeased the gods and gave rise to ritualized sacrifice. As for the Egyptians the pharaoh was of the highest authority who communicated with the gods and tried to help the people please them. This caused a difference because the Mayans didn’t have a priestly caste system. Lastly, technology was not as advanced back then than it is now but yet it was still around.

While the Ancient Egyptian’s geography mostly benefited the Ancient Egyptians, Early China’s geography isolated the Early Chinese civilization. Although they were isolated, it did not limit them from trading and travel. Both of these civilizations relied on the rivers found in their regions. The yellow river, named after loess, and the Yangzi River assisted with agriculture and trade in Ancient China under the Shang and Zhou. The Nile River, found in Egypt, was also the reason travel,…

I believe the courage and determination of Malala’s father, who built the school for girls through great controversy, sparked Malala’s passion for education. Malala emphasizes that education wasn’t “just a way of passing time, it was our future” (146). The future of many girls, hungering for knowledge could change the ancient extremist views against women. While the Taliban could burn schools and take away educational resources, they “couldn’t stop [young girl’s] minds from thinking” (146). In…

At age 6 Ari is working at grade level in math and science but isn’t particularly interested in these topics in school.

During these time periods, artwork was stylized as men and women. These structures were simple and abstract. When comparing the two figurines, they represent men and women figures which resulted in legs being close together and with an hourglass body shape. Also they were fairly small in range and came from different time periods. Along…
