Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Math Your Kids WANT to Do. You’ll love these math games because they give your child a strong foundation for mathematical success. By playing these games, you strengthen your child’s intuitive understanding of numbers and build problem-solving strategies. Mastering a math game can be hard work. But kids do it willingly because it’s fun. Math You Can Play Combo features two books in one, with 42 kid-tested games that offer a variety of challenges for preschool and school-age learners. Chapters include: • Early Counting: Practice subitizing — recognizing small numbers of items at a glance—and learn the number symbols. • Childhood Classics: Traditional folk games invite the whole family to enjoy playing with math. • Number Bonds: Build a mental picture of the relationships between numbers as you begin to explore addition. • Numbers to One Hundred: Develop mental math skills for working with larger numbers. Practice using place value, addition, and subtraction. • Mixed Operations: Give mental muscles a workout with games that require number skills and logical thinking. • Logic and Probability: Logic games sharpen inductive and deductive thinking skills, while games of chance build an intuition for probability. Math games prevent math anxiety. Games pump up your child’s mental muscle, reduce the fear of failure, and generate a positive attitude toward mathematics. Parents can use these games to enjoy quality time with your children. Classroom teachers like them as warm-ups and learning center activities or for a relaxing review day at the end of a term. If you are a tutor or homeschooler, make games a regular feature in your lesson plans to build your students’ math skills. So what are you waiting for? Clear off a table, grab a deck of cards, and let's play some math!
Download or read book The Calculus Story written by David Acheson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calculus is the key to much of modern science and engineering. It is the mathematical method for the analysis of things that change, and since in the natural world we are surrounded by change, the development of calculus was a huge breakthrough in the history of mathematics. But it is also something of a mathematical adventure, largely because of the way infinity enters at virtually every twist and turn... In The Calculus Story David Acheson presents a wide-ranging picture of calculus and its applications, from ancient Greece right up to the present day. Drawing on their original writings, he introduces the people who helped to build our understanding of calculus. With a step by step treatment, he demonstrates how to start doing calculus, from the very beginning.
Download or read book Glimpses into the World of Mathematics written by LIT Verlag and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays collected in this volume deal with various problems from the philosophy of mathematics. What connects them are two questions: how mathematics is created and how it is acquired. In 'Three Worlds of Mathematics' we are familiarized with David Tall's ideas pertaining to the embodied, symbolic and formal worlds of mathematics. In 'Basic Ideas of Intuitionism', we focus on an epistemological approach to mathematics which is distinctive to constructive mathematics. The author focuses on the computational content of intuitionistic logic and shows how it relates to functional programming. 'The Brave Mathematical Ant' carefully selects mathematical puzzles related to teaching experiences in a way that the solution requires creativity and is not obtainable by following an algorithm. Moreover the solution gives us some new insight into the underlying idea. 'Degrees Of Accessibility Of Mathematical Objects' discusses various criteria which can be used to judge accessibility of mathematical objects. We find logical complexity, range of applications, existence of a physical model as well as aesthetic values.

Download or read book The Spirit of Mathematics written by David Acheson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes mathematics so special? Whether you have anxious memories of the subject from school, or solve quadratic equations for fun, David Acheson's book will make you look at mathematics afresh. Following on from his previous bestsellers, The Calculus Story and The Wonder Book of Geometry, here Acheson highlights the power of algebra, combining it with arithmetic and geometry to capture the spirit of mathematics. This short book encompasses an astonishing array of ideas and concepts, from number tricks and magic squares to infinite series and imaginary numbers. Acheson's enthusiasm is infectious, and, as ever, a sense of quirkiness and fun pervades the book. But it also seeks to crystallize what is special about mathematics: the delight of discovery; the importance of proof; and the joy of contemplating an elegant solution. Using only the simplest of materials, it conjures up the depth and the magic of the subject.
