Unit 3: Instructor Graded Assignment Interest and Loan Concepts Unit 3 focuses on interest and loan concepts covered in your reading of Chapter 11: “Simple Interest and Simple Discounts.” You must show your work at all times. The steps for solving each problem must be explained. Failure to do so could result in your submission being given a 0 grade. If you have any questions about how much work to show, please contact your instructor. Assignments must be submitted as a Microsoft®…

The use of ICT in the daily mathematics lesson can be central to creating an inclusive environment where all children are engaged in learning. On the most basic level – children, or so I have witnessed, find using computers and other technologies "cool". It arouses their interests and "seems to provide a focal point which encourages interaction between pupils, as well as between pupils and the technology itself" (BECTA. 2003). Using technologies such as computers, interactive whiteboards, audio…

The first major difference from a billiard table is that one end is rounded instead of square. The second diversion is that instead of pockets around the edge, the semi-circular end features nine holes (in the manner of Bar Billiards), one in the middle of the semi-circle and the rest surrounding it evenly in a ring. The hole in the middle is numbered nine, the others are numbered 1 - 8 in a semi-random order. Rather like a Billiards table, Pool table or Darts board, a variety of games can be…

by progression. This progression may be, but not limited to: evidence, discoveries, technology, or social trends. Therefor we can ponder upon the knowledge issue, in regard to two areas of knowledge: “How do we know that the natural sciences and mathematics will be justifiable in the future?” The foundations for these areas of knowledge, regarded…

What is a question and what is being neutral? A question by definition is a sentence worded or expressed so as to elicit information. This shows that a question is asked in order to get information but you want to get information because you are curious. Curiosity by definition means a strong desire to know or learn something. This proves that you have curiosity when you have a strong desire, desire means a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. this…

Experiencing computer science and mathematics at BC has inspired me and sparked a passion. I take so much pride in my study of Math and Computer Science because I can see the need and potential for computer scientists, mathematicians, and engineers in society; they are essential. One of my first realizations of this was through the Mcnair Exploratory Program. An undergraduate research program; Mcnair 's goal is to give underrepresented minorities a chance to experience research under the…

Irrational Tectonic is mutated from rational Tectonic. Perhaps, over rational will turn to irrational when tectonic losing the connection of historical context or logic of craftsmanship. The signs on Hong Kong street were a rational advertisement behavior. However, people starting to add their desire by expansion signs irrationally, not only visually expand, but also tectonically extend. Of course, the program also exposing from inside to outside by those signs symbolically. The signs stacked on…

Joints is a key for tectonic, tectonic is a key for construction. The idea of architecture design in this exhibition will be different. Comparing to typical design strategies, which means analysis programs need or volume operation, this exhibition starting from smallest component, joint, to face the architectural discourse. How to apply or face the joints of architecture will show the difference attitude we face to our spacial design. Tectonic is a way to connect components, is a kind of…

world relies on systems, structures, and patterns-- in which explanations and interpretations are often sought after. Mathematics becomes the solution and discovery that humanity seeks, in which it then can elaborate on the unknown, mysteries, and the incomprehensible. The existence of mathematics is a subtle thing; functioning quietly throughout our daily lives. Moreover, mathematics weaves itself within various aspects of our natural lives that we would never suspect it of existing within,…

We as a society need to encourage more young girls and women to take an interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In 2009, 48% of the United States workforce was comprised of women while 52% comprised of men (Kimmel et al, 2012). While the slight deviation in percentage seems small, when STEM field jobs were looked at in particular, it was realized that that 76% of the STEM jobs are held be men while women only held on to 24% (Szelényi et al, 2013). In…
