Change Is Possible by Patricia Clark Kenschaft

These lively techniques - including games, questions, conversations, and specific math activities - are suitable for children from preschool to age 10.Īuthor Patricia Clark Kenschaft maintains that rote learning and standardized testing weaken children's natural love of learning, and she shows how parents can effectively supplement students' math education.

Math Power offers easy-to-follow and concrete strategies for teaching math concepts.

Linear mathematics: A practical approach.(Very strong Very Good, approaching Near Fine. Linear Mathematics: A Practical Approach (Dover Books on Mathematics).Each chapter features sample tests with answers. Topics include matrices, Gauss-Jordan row operations, systems of linear equations without unique solutions, determinants, linear programming, the simplex algorithm, dual problems, probability, and game theory. Suitable for a traditional one-year course in linear algebra or a more streamlined single-semester course, it can also serve for courses in finite mathematics or mathematics in the contemporary world for liberal arts students.Ĭarefully chosen examples and exercises form the basis of this treatment, in which students solve problems related to biology (nesting habits of birds), sociology (rural-urban migration patterns), transportation (traffic flow), psychology (verifying claims of ESP), business (maximizing profits), and other fields. Linear Mathematics: A Practical Approach (Dover Books on Mathematics)ĭesigned to help students appreciate the beauty of abst.)ĭesigned to help students appreciate the beauty of abstract patterns and the thrill of modeling the 'real' world, this versatile, time-tested, and widely used text requires only two years of high school algebra.
