Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Dazzle at Algebra contains 43 photocopiable ideas for use with pupils aged 11 14 who are working at levels 2 3 of the National Curriculum. The tasks are varied and teach pupils to understand algebra. The book is based on the introduction to the algebra section of the National Numeracy Strategy A Framework for Teaching Mathematics from Reception to Year 6, and links with algebra work introduced to pupils in Year 7. The precise rules and conventions required for the understanding of algebra are emphasized throughout the book. The algebraic ideas are based on: forming and solving equations; inverses; identification of number patterns; graphical representation; continuity; factorizing; equivalence; and the laws of arithmetic. The activities give opportunities to try different methods of working.

Download or read book Philosophy and the Dazzling Ideal of Science written by Graham McFee and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent decades have seen attacks on philosophy as an irrelevant field of inquiry when compared with science. In this book, Graham McFee defends the claims of philosophy against attempts to minimize either philosophy’s possibility or its importance by deploying a contrast with what Wittgenstein characterized as the “dazzling ideal” of science. This ‘dazzling ideal’ incorporates both the imagined completeness of scientific explanation—whereby completing its project would leave nothing unexplained—and the exceptionless character of the associated conception of causality. On such a scientistic world-view, what need is there for philosophy? In his defense of philosophy (and its truth-claims), McFee shows that rejecting such scientism is not automatically anti-scientific, and that it permits granting to natural science (properly understood) its own truth-generating power. Further, McFee argues for contextualism in the project of philosophy, and sets aside the pervasive (and pernicious) requirement for exceptionless generalizations while relating his account to interconnections between the concepts of person, substance, agency, and causation.

Download or read book Science Education and Citizenship written by S. Terzian and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-28 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science fairs, clubs, and talent searches are familiar fixtures in American education, yet little is known about why they began and grew in popularity. In Science Education and Citizenship, Sevan G. Terzian traces the civic purposes of these extracurricular programs for youth over four decades in the early to mid-twentieth century. He argues that Americans' mobilization for World War Two reoriented these educational activities from scientific literacy to national defense a shift that persisted in the ensuing atomic age and has left a lasting legacy in American science education.
Download or read book Dazzled and Deceived written by Peter Forbes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature has perfected the art of deception. Thousands of creatures all over the world - including butterflies, moths, fish, birds, insects and snakes - have honed and practised camouflage over hundreds of millions of years. Imitating other animals or their surroundings, nature's fakers use mimicry to protect themselves, to attract and repel, to bluff and warn, to forage and to hide. The advantages of mimicry are obvious - but how does 'blind' nature do it? And how has humanity learnt to profit from nature's ploys? "Dazzled and Deceived" tells the unique and fascinating story of mimicry and camouflage in science, art, warfare and the natural world. Discovered in the 1850s by the young English naturalists Henry Walter Bates and Alfred Russel Wallace in the Amazonian rainforest, the phenomenon of mimicry was seized upon as the first independent validation of Darwin's theory of natural selection. But mimicry and camouflage also created a huge impact outside the laboratory walls. Peter Forbes' cultural history links mimicry and camouflage to art, literature, military tactics and medical cures across the twentieth century, and charts its intricate involvement with the dispute between evolution and creationism.
