After that, I intend to return to school to get my Ph.D. in mathematics education or a related field, and then I would like to teach and research at the college level. As far as research/project interest are concerned, one area I am particularly interested in is getting more women and minorities into STEM fields. Throughout…

Manipulatives and Their Importance in Education Mathematics can be one of the more difficult areas of curriculum for young children and even adults to grasp. Due to this complex challenge that math instruction provides, mathematicians have tried to come up with a various ways to teach mathematics in the classroom that is both effective and engaging. In the early 1800’s, a German teacher named Friedrick Froebel was credited with the creation of the first manipulatives. Froebel’s manipulatives…

Students' perceptions and attitudes towards teaching and learning mathematics play an important role in mathematics education (McLeod, 1989). The students learning outcomes are greatly related to their beliefs, perceptions, perspectives, and attitudes towards mathematics (Pehkonen, 2003). Evaluating and assessing students' mathematical knowledge and performance must be made with the awareness, recognition, and realization of their beliefs and perceptions. Systematic inquiry into students'…

Throughout time, mathematics has always had an influence on society and its ideals. However, the presence of mathematical application is especially present in Plato's The Republic, and especially its effect on mathematical education. Plato's ideas on mathematics education can give reason as to why math influences many other subjects and can encourage critical and abstract thinking in young students. This includes giving students the ability to think abstractly, apply math to all other subjects…

A relationship with numbers and codes is my fate. I learned math for an Olympic Mathematics Competition that I’ve been involved in since I was 9 years old. I became familiar with algorithms like congruence, Horner algorithm and graph theory before I could use a computer. Now as a senior in the school of mathematics at XX University, one of the top three mathematical schools in China. I chose math as my major to build a good mathematical foundation to thoroughly learn about computer science. With…

The Value of Practice in Mathematics and Natural Sciences With respect to two areas of knowledge, consider the claim “Without application in the world, the value of knowledge is greatly diminished." Knowledge is a treasure; without it, we would not be where we are. The only reason why the human race has lasted so long is because of the application of knowledge. What is knowledge? Knowledge is the accumulation of ideas and concepts in someone’s mind. Knowledge can be taught or can come from…

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…
