Gaming mathematics

If I was to describe mathematics I would describe it as using numbers to solve problems. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, mathematics is “the science of numbers and their operations, interrelations, combinations, generalizations, and abstractions and of space configurations and their structure, measurement, transformations, and generalizations”. I believe mathematics is not just a class you have to take in school. It is not just a class that students dread to take in school. Some…

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…

anxiety in children. This paper will go over the history of math anxiety, relevance, how to prevent/manage and also if there is any effective treatment/interventions that school psychologists could implement to improve a child’s anxiety towards mathematics. HISTORY OF MATH ANXIETY There have been…

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…

encourage them to value their progress in learning. 3. Why should special education teachers assess mathematics vocabulary? • Math is like a second language. It is important for students to know and understand the vocabulary terms that they are using when they are talking about the math problems to others. This will also help the students understand math word problems. 4. List and describe the two mathematics learning styles. • Quantitative- These children are usually good with language skills…

Participant (subject) characteristics The participant’s name is “Tameta”. Tameta is a 39-year-old female without a disability. At the beginning of the research, her daily average step count in a four-week period was approximately 5,000. While only working part-time, she would like to at least maintain her daily step count average by focusing on performing a walking activity for one continuous hour each day. Research design The research design is ABAB. The baseline data will calculate the…
