Mathematics education

Science was never just a subject for me, it was something, which fascinated me, taught me and provided me with the explanation of what was around me all at the same time. Compared to all other subjects I studied, it was the only one in which truly interested me, one which I did not mind waking up in the morning for or to study for. It was only until my grandfather passed away from a heart disease, when I truthfully identified what part of science I would want to study. And that is Cardiology, as…

Can you tell me about your bingo nights and how successful they have been? How long have you been having them? When we started Big Tasty Bingo at Copenhagen Street Food - Paper Island in 2015, we were quite nervous since it was the first time and we didn’t know if would show up. We had 25 people participating the first bingo event in 2015, in 2017 the average number of participants were 150-250 participants, some nights we had 400-500 participating. So I’ll say the idea turned out to be a…

Building my own RC polystyrene hovercraft from scratch made me realise the challenges and difficulties one might face as an engineer. For instance, producing lift was a major problem, so I made many variations of propellers to find the most effective one. To me, the most enjoyable part of the project was overcoming the obstacles. I was proud and satisfied to see it work after weeks of tests and improvements. As a fan of remote controlled cars for many years, the idea of being an engineer…

of secrecy, striving for purity, etc). About a decade later Persia invaded Egypt and captured Pythagoras. He was then sent to Babylon as a prisoner. There he met the Magoi (another kind of priest) who taught him more about arithmetic, music, and mathematic science. Pythagoras later (about 520 BC) escaped his imprisonment and went back to Samos. Once he returned he established a school called Semicircle. Nevertheless his teaching methods were undesirable and leaders of Samos wanted him to be…

objective knowledge and truth? First of all, mathematics is often considered a neutral area of knowledge, as it is universal across cultures, and relies on preexisting frameworks built upon deductive reasoning, as opposed to frameworks built upon knowledge by experience. Most fundamental mathematical principles have been in place for hundreds of years and have not changed, despite an ever-changing human environment. Thus, since the methodology of mathematics can be considered neutral and…

Science is a difficult concept simply that to define it, is to define all we know about the world in which we live. I am of the opinion, that since the dawn of the scientific age there has been a clear and defining breakdown in terms of gender in science. As a young woman studying Marine Biology, I someday wish to be viewed as a member of the scientific community. In spite of this, when I think of a ‘scientist’, a man in a lab coat is all that comes to mind. This is the historical image of…

are my IT skills, because I have not spent enough time using applications such as Excel, which will be a very important tool. To improve my Excel skills, I believed the best way is to use it more and interact with them. I could use excel more for mathematics, especially when making tables and graphs. The more I use them, the more I will learn and familiar they will be. Or, I could search for tutorials on the Internet or ask friends to assist me. Although I have decent maths skills, I can always…

From the start of this simulation, we understood that we needed to analyze the limited data that was given to us. More specifically, we looked at the mean and standard deviation of demand for the first 50 days of the simulation. We did this by exporting the data from Littlefield into an Excel document and utilizing the AVG and STDEV functions within it. These functions gave us an average demand of 14.52 jobs per day, and a standard deviation of 4.17 jobs per day for the first 50 days. By…

Speaking and Listening – Elizabeth has shown she has good speaking and listening skills this year. She loves show and tell and takes great pride in presenting to the class items that she has bought in from home. When presenting, Elizabeth articulates well and holds good eye contact with her audience. During carpet sessions, she listens well most of the time but can occasionally become distracted by what others are doing around her. When taking part in School performances, Elizabeth is more…
