Download or read book Common Sense Mathematics Second Edition written by Ethan D. Bolker and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years from now, what do you want or expect your students to remember from your course? We realized that in ten years what matters will be how students approach a problem using the tools they carry with them—common sense and common knowledge—not the particular mathematics we chose for the curriculum. Using our text, students work regularly with real data in moderately complex everyday contexts, using mathematics as a tool and common sense as a guide. The focus is on problems suggested by the news of the day and topics that matter to students, like inflation, credit card debt, and loans. We use search engines, calculators, and spreadsheet programs as tools to reduce drudgery, explore patterns, and get information. Technology is an integral part of today's world—this text helps students use it thoughtfully and wisely. This second edition contains revised chapters and additional sections, updated examples and exercises, and complete rewrites of critical material based on feedback from students and teachers who have used this text. Our focus remains the same: to help students to think carefully—and critically—about numerical information in everyday contexts.
Download or read book Calvin written by JR Ford and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this joyful and impactful picture book, a transgender boy prepares for the first day of school and introduces himself to his family and friends for the first time. Calvin has always been a boy, even if the world sees him as a girl. He knows who he is in his heart and in his mind but he hasn't yet told his family. Finally, he can wait no longer: "I'm not a girl," he tells his family. "I'm a boy--a boy in my heart and in my brain." Quick to support him, his loving family takes Calvin shopping for the swim trunks he's always wanted and back-to-school clothes and a new haircut that helps him look and feel like the boy he's always known himself to be. As the first day of school approaches, he's nervous and the "what-ifs" gather up inside him. But as his friends and teachers rally around him and he tells them his name, all his "what-ifs" begin to melt away. Inspired by the authors' own transgender child and accompanied by warm and triumphant illustrations, this authentic and personal text promotes kindness and empathy, offering a poignant and inclusive back-to-school message: all should feel safe, respected, and welcomed.
Download or read book Common Sense 2 0 written by Mike Porter and published by Palmetto Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America sits on the brink of an unprecedented level of conflict with the upcoming 2024 election. Mike Porter presents this exposé to uncover the truth about the forces behind tribalism-and what we can do to preserve our democracy. America's deep state is a little-understand aspect of our current political climate. Mike Porter's first published book, Common Sense 2.0, aims to reveal how those in power keep control of our future through misinformation. As America is currently at a turning point in its history, the success of our civilization hinges on how we respond to the current state of affairs. Will we allow media and politicians to deepen our sense of tribalism? Or can we adhere to some old-fashioned common sense and cut through the noise? Porter provides thoughtful predictions about the future of America's political landscape-including the economic instability, civil unrest, and deepening corruption that will take hold unless we confront socialism at the ballot. Learn how the presidential administrations of the past two decades have shaped foreign policy, cultural thought, and the way we do politics in service of the deep state. Common Sense 2.0, named after Thomas Paine's famous work, is the wake-up call our society needs in order to understand what the future holds-and how we can ensure the integrity of our nation.
Download or read book Common Sense and Legal Judgment written by Patricia Cochran and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean when a judge in a court of law uses the phrase “common sense”? Is it a type of evidence or a mode of reasoning? In a world characterized by material and political inequalities, whose common sense should inform the law? Common Sense and Legal Judgment explores this rhetorically powerful phrase, arguing that common sense, when invoked in political and legal discourses without adequate reflection, poses a threat to the quality and legitimacy of legal judgment. Often operating in the service of conservatism, populism, or majoritarianism, common sense can harbour stereotypes, reproduce unjust power relations, and silence marginalized people. Nevertheless, drawing the works of theorists such as Thomas Reid, Antonio Gramsci, and Hannah Arendt into conversation with rulings by the Supreme Court of Canada, Patricia Cochran demonstrates that with careful attention, the democratic, egalitarian, and community-sustaining aspects of common sense can be brought to light. A call for critical self-reflection and the close scrutiny of power relationships and social contexts, this book is a direct response to social justice predicaments and their confounding relationships to law. Creative and interdisciplinary, Common Sense and Legal Judgment reinvigorates feminist and anti-poverty understandings of judgment, knowledge, justice, and accountability.

Download or read book Common Sense 2 0 written by R David Brandt and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a nation, we're not always big on introspection. To move forward, however, we must look inward. We must hold this nation up to a mirror and acknowledge what it's become. We must make a sober assessment. How did a country that so aligns itself with freedom and equality become a haven for the rich and powerful while the middle class is slowly decimated? Not to be overly analogous, but it's a death by a thousand cuts. Throughout the past 40 years, special interests have superseded the needs of the people, at least among members of congress. Think of the proverbial frog in the pot. If you drop it in hot water, the frog jumps right out. Put it in cool water and slowly raise the temperature, however, and it barely notices...until it's too late. For four decades, self-serving politicians have been turning up the heat on America's middle class. They've ignored the systemic racism that has held this country back for far too long. This book makes the case for a revolutionary transfer of power. It's time for people of good conscience to take control.

Download or read book Common Sense 2 0 written by Jim Dickson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom (Lincoln 1863) Asking "How are things going in our country?" is a kind way of asking, "Will we make it?" but if we are honest the second question is the one we should be asking today. We have gone from being a spiritual to a material culture. The former has values that satisfy such as love, peace, patience, and self-control. The latter has no lasting values but has tendencies that are addictive and cry out for more, such as more power, pleasure and prosperity. Our addictive tendencies come from our ancestor Adam who chose self-will in the Garden of Eden in defiance of God. Addictive tendencies can be offset by energizing the image of God implanted in each of us by the Creator. The question of which controls, our spiritual nature or our sin nature, depends on which nature we feed. In the past half century our culture has been fed a constant dose of half-truth trivia, beginning with Hollywood movies, radio, TV, and theater; now joined by education, government at all levels, social media and woke thinking. Materialism without spirituality is a path to nihilism-nothing makes sense-leading to loneliness, anxiety, despair, anger and often violence. Freedom is at stake. The message of Common Sense 2.0 is that we can again become a spiritual nation if we have the determination of the Founding Fathers. Determination will require a new type of leader, On Fire for God leaders who are pure in heart so they can see God (Matthew. 5:8). It has taken a half century to get to our present situation; it may take that long or longer to restore the foundation of the nation. (This commentary was prepared for use by individuals, groups, and churches.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Green's The Fault in Our Stars meets Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park in this darkly funny novel from the critically acclaimed author of The Beginning of Everything. Up until his diagnosis, Lane lived a fairly predictable life. When he's sent to Latham House, a boarding school for sick teens, Lane thinks his life may as well be over. But when he meets Sadie and her friends - a group of eccentric troublemakers - he realises that maybe getting sick is just the beginning. That illness doesn't have to define you, and that falling in love is its own cure. Robyn Schneider's Extraordinary Means is a heart-wrenching yet ultimately hopeful about true friendships, ill-fated love and the rare miracle of second chances. Praise for Extraordinary Means 'This captivating book about life, death, fear, and second chances will fly off the shelves' VOYA 'Schneider’s subtlety, combined with themes about learning to live life fully, makes this an easy recommendation for those seeking titles similar in premise to John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars' School Library Journal 'The perfect read-next for fans of the sick-lit trend and readers looking for a tear-stained romance' Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books 'Fans of John Green’s blockbuster The Fault in Our Stars who are eager for more of that kind of story will likely be satisfied.'

Download or read book Statistics with Common Sense written by David Kault and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-04-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying statistical results to real life situations can be difficult or futile if you can't be certain what the results actually mean. This reference guide provides readers with the frequently elusive link between statistical results and practical applications. Students will learn the basic concepts and principles of statistics and probability, without getting bogged down in complicated theories and abstractions. Many statistics texts rely too heavily on mathematical formulas. Kault restores the emphasis to understanding statistical results and using common sense in decision making. Everyday examples bring the concepts to life. In the entry on hypothesis testing, Kault examines how a statistical result incorrectly overruled the common sense of many doctors. A chapter on random variables shows the chance that students will carry cell phones, and a chapter on categorical measurements uses statistics to determine the efficiency of a new treatment for a serious disease. Each chapter ends with questions that will help students further understand important concepts. Useful on its own and perfect as a means of expanding classroom discussions, this book is ideal for high school students or anyone needing to review the basics of statistics.
