The aim of the mathematics curriculum at senior secondary stage is to provide students with an appreciation wide variety application and equip them basic tools that enable such application. A careful choice between often conflicting demands depth versus breadth needs be made this stage. rapid explosion as a discipline, its range application, favors increase in coverage. Such must dictated by ma...

Observations of apparently random phenomena are commonplace in science. However, randomness and Christian belief are often seen as incompatible, both by naturalists and by theists. This article argues that the scientific concept of randomness and the historic Christian understanding of God’s nature are compatible. It argues that the existence of randomness cannot be settled scientifically; neve...

We argue that visual, analogical representations of mathematical concepts can be used by automated theory formation systems to develop further concepts and conjectures in mathematics. We consider the role of visual reasoning in human development of mathematics, and consider some aspects of the relationship between mathematics and the visual, including artists using mathematics as inspiration fo...

In the search for principles of pattern generation in complex biological systems, an operational approach is presented that embraces both theory and experiment. The central mathematical concepts of self-organization in nonequilibrium systems (including order parameter dynamics, stability, fluctuations, and time scales) are used to show how a large number of empirically observed features of temp...

NASA-Threads is a full length high school physics program developed by Louisiana Tech University faculty with support from NASA. NASAThreads is a partnership between K-12 schools and Louisiana Tech University that aims to improve high school student achievement in mathematics and science. This partnership will result in better prepared students entering science, technology, engineering, and mat...

Abstract Computational thinking (CT) is gaining attention in education as a part of digital literacy and can be addressed several disciplines, including mathematics. Through the lens Brennan Resnick’s framework, we investigated how computational concepts, practices, perspectives upper-secondary statistics lessons using spreadsheets through design-based research. Three classes of, total, 58 16- ...

This study aimed to analyze the newly developed math curriculum taking into account views of teachers and students. Curriculum analysis is realized in three dimensions; (1) Classroom management – physical emotional environment classroom, role students, interactions, (2) Instructions objectives, planning, implementation, methods techniques, instructional media, measurement evaluation, (3) Streng...

To illuminate the cross-national similarities and differences in ways of teaching multiplication of fractions and division of fractions, this study compared the lessons on fractions in Korean mathematics textbooks and accompanying teacher’s manuals with the corresponding lessons on fractions in one U.S. reform mathematics textbook series and accompanying teachers’ manuals [Everyday Mathematics]...
