...Mathematics and Forensics 8 March, 2015 Math History - 109 In a world filled with technology, accountability, and a desire for higher quality of living; the world owes it all to math. As children grow up and are taught mathematics in countries all over the world; they are all being taught the same language. Math is the universal language of the world and math has changed the world from the time of the Egyptians to the present day era of technology. Mathematicians like Nicolaus Copernicus gave the world the truth of the universe with heliocentrism, while Isaac Newton gave the world the modern laws of physics. Mathematics has even paved its way into music with each beat of music being timed by numbers. Math is everywhere and people with brilliant minds can use mathematics to contribute to the world in very positive ways. One such way is the science of forensics. Without math, forensics could not exist. As population growth increases at an alarming rate, people have to find ways of holding people accountable for unlawful behavior. Forensic science has allowed civilization to evolve and become less barbaric and move towards factual based evidence when solving crimes against nature. Forensic science measures facts involving a crime and figure out the truth behind those measurements. Whether it is the skid marks from a vehicle collision or blood splatter analysis; mathematics is the reason why this can be done. Forensics have paved the way to a better justice system providing...

Many of us do not realize how often we use math in our daily lives. Many of us believe that math is learned in classes, and often forgotten, as we do not practice it in the real world. Truth is, we actually use math every day, all of the time. Math is used everywhere, in each of our lives. Math does not always need to be thought of as rocket science. Math is such a large part of our lives, we do not even notice we are computing problems in our lives! For example, if one were interested in baking, one must understand that math is involved. One may ask, “How is math involved with cooking?” Fractions are needed to bake an item. A real world problem for baking could be as such: Heena is baking a cake that requires two and one-half cups of flour. Heena poured four and one-sixth cups of flour into a bowl. How much flour should Heena take out of the bowl? In this scenario of a real world problem, we have fractions, and subtraction of fractions, since Heena has added four and one-sixth cups of flour, rather than the needed...

...poses a disadvantage when trying to further their education. The United States is one of or the most powerful countries but continually flows short in the educational system. One of the major issues is the lack of the arts within the academic system. They focus today is typically how to take an exam. For example, Florida focuses so much on the FCAT that they typically focus only on English and Math. High Schools keep using this “Teaching to the Test “technique, which only teaches students how to prepare for the FCAT and this narrows the curriculum a lot. This issue leads to the question, “Is the Geography and Math knowledge of an American student as good as European student?” Every year a test is given to every student in High School. This test has basic questions about Geography and it measures the level of every student within their grade. Back in 2010 after collecting back the test from students and grading it, the National Assessment of Education Progress publicized that only a 25% of American schoolchildren passed the test and that only a 20% of 12th graders passed. This is probably one the saddest news America had to deal with when speaking of education. After the news was published to the public, Daniel Edelson, vice president for education with the National Geographic Society, explained in an interview with the Education Writers Association that he was "disappointed" with the results, but not surprised. "We're just not doing a good job educating people with geography...

... and communication with a diverse culture of your peers. There are many jobs out there in math and science that will interest you. But most kids study very hard but still struggle with math and science and sometimes feel like giving up. So to give students the encouragements there are many different ways to help them. Mathematics and science is one of the most challenging this student or an adult can say is so confusing and sometimes can be frustrating. When you think about math all you really see is numbers and symbols and more and more numbers. But on the other hand when you think about science you see formulas and symbols and also more number they both favor some of the same things. That’s what makes them both very challenges and wiser. The reason that we need mathematics is to solve problems and to educate others. Probability and statistics for an actuary to analysis research. Insurance representative measure performances of field sales with internally and extremely to predict models on current and proposed scenarios. Teaching at all levels from k-1 until college levels. Architects use math to draw up a plans for and a building. He has to learn to stay within budget for the client. Biologist study life too many living things with structure, development and the function of plants. Of all these jobs structures there are no way we cannot escape the frequent use of different maths.

...is the goal of true education.”1 Martin Luther King, Jr. When asked to do this assignment this quote stood out to me the most in requards to the new use of Common Core Standards in the State of Maryland Education System. I was educated during the time of memorizing factors and answering simple questions, which simply prove that I can remember facts. Today my child is being asked to “think intensively and to think critically” in order to compete Globally in the world today and thanks to the Common Core Standards I am glad of his process. To date 46 states and District of Columbia's adoption of Common Core State Standard as well as the 4 states that have not adopted CCSS. Minnesota adopted ELA but not Math standards.2 Common core State Standards (CCSS) was established by a non-profit origination called Achieve, which...

...1 A User’s Guide to Learning Styles and Math Tools T he journey of developing this book began almost five years ago. After over sixty combined years of service in schools, two of us—John R. Brunsting and Terry Walsh—were coming to the end of our careers as mathematics instructors and administrators. For most of those sixty years, we had the pleasure of working together in Hinsdale Central High School in Hinsdale, Illinois, where we met Harvey Silver and were introduced to the Thoughtful Classroom professional development model he designed with Richard Strong. What we quickly came to learn is that the Thoughtful Classroom really works. Whenever we implemented Thoughtful Classroom strategies in our classrooms or worked with other teachers to help them implement Thoughtful Classroom strategies in their own classrooms, the effect on student learning was palpable—students became more engaged, discussions got richer, student thinking went deeper, and test scores went up. There was, however, one particular Thoughtful Classroom text that always seemed to make the biggest difference in classrooms in the shortest amount of time. That text was Tools for Promoting Active, In-Depth Learning (Silver, Strong, & Perini, 2001; Silver, Strong, & Commander, 1998). The idea behind Tools for Promoting Active, InDepth Learning is simple. It is a collection of classroom-tested tools, or simple teaching “moves,” that teachers can use to foster active, in-depth learning. These tools are based on the...

... Nicole Galloway Math 601 Number Systems Research Paper The first and most important question I am going to ask is, is math important and why. Math, it's everywhere. You just can't avoid it; no matter how hard you try. We use math when we're trying to figure out how much fertilizer is needed for fields of corn, onions, or cotton. We use math when we want to bake two-dozen of those mouth-watering chocolate chip cookies that our children will devour as soon as they come barreling through the door. What do we use when we need to know how much money is in our checking account? You've got it, math! Just try to build that extra room without using math. It can't be done. Mathematics is one of the most important subjects that provide several vital skills to the learners. Some of the skills that people get from math include: the ability to identify and analyze patterns, logic and critical thinking skills, ability to see relationships and problem solving skills. Math is important because it allows people to perform complex calculations for everyday purposes using a set formula or mathematical procedure. Math allows for precise calculations and measurements for almost everything we do! Math is so important because it allows us to do everyday things with ease. Rounding, estimating, fractions and percentages are just a few of the ways we use math in our everyday life. So math is important as it is found in our daily lives every day. With math being important in our...

...Mathematics is used all over the world in a person’s everyday career. Criminal Justice careers use mathematics in a variety of different ways to complete a day’s work. Most Criminal Justice degree programs emphasis particularly on statistics as a core measureable expertise for students in this specific program. The Mathematical Association of America stresses that students in social science majors require a strong foundation in mathematical literacy. The degree I am studying for at Westwood College is an associate’s degree in applied science. So, by me taking mathematics serious and working hard it would benefit me in the long run. Programs predominantly want people studying Criminal Justice to be competent in statistics in order to succeed in a data compelled career field. The specific career I want to perform when I receive my degree is becoming a police officer. Police officers use mathematics in the field everyday. Police are usually the first to the scene when an accident transpires. Police measure impact angles after car accidents, measure skid marks, build statistical models of crime patterns to put patrol officers where thy need to be and a whole lot more. Math is generally used to prevent crime because without mathematics crime would not be as detectable. All police officers use mathematics while patrolling the field. For instance, say someone is pulled over for a DUI, the police use Breathalyzer’s to measure the blood alcohol content of the person they suspect of...

...Foreign Study The standpoint theory focuses on how an individual's location within a culture shapes what the individual experiences, knows, feels, does, and understands social life as a whole (Wood, 2009). This theory can be used to enrich our understanding of why people communicate in different ways and it empowers the viewpoints of the marginalized (CommunicationStudies.com, 2011). The major contribution of standpoint theory is that it can be used to show how our different social locations (e.g. according to gender) provide the possibility of having different standpoints (Wood, 2009) which then affects how individuals develop particular perspectives, identities, skills, and understandings as a result of their standpoint within society. Plan’s (2011) research into gender expectations demonstrates that in many settings boys and men are encouraged to be ‘tough’, are put under pressure to be heads of households and often face institutionalized violence, much at the hands of other men through choice of profession.

...Science and math integration unit I chose a culminating activity to use after the students had completed learning about fractions, ratios and percentages in math and in life science learning about the ecosystems and inquiry and observations to solve problems. The activity I chose has students looking at trees within a forest near the school. My rationale for selecting this project is that students in this area do a lot of hunting this time of year and are outside in the wilderness a lot during the month of October. I thought that this lesson would make them more aware of their environment and provide them a different way to look at their surroundings before they went off to the mountains for hunting elk and deer. I believe the students will be very interested in this unit of study and also it will help them to be more observant as they are hunting this next month. I tried to write a unit of study that students in this area would enjoy doing, one that would fit with their lifestyle and have a meaningful positive outcome upon completion. This is a summary of a culminating unit for science and math. Students will measure off a section of the forest and count quaking aspen trees and lodge pole pine trees within the measured off area. Students will then use the 12 processes of science and math skills to answer questions and complete investigations to solve the science question. The students need to collect data, chart it and analyze it to answer questions using math skills including...

...Math is used everyday – adding the cost of the groceries before checkout, totaling up the monthly bills, estimating the distance and time a car ride is to a place a person has not been. The problems worked this week have showed how math works in the real world. This paper will show how two math problems from chapter five real world applications numbers 35 and 37 worked out. Number 35 A person hired a firm to build a CB radio tower. The firm charges $100 for labor for the first 10 feet. After that, the cost of labor for each succeeding 10 feet is $25 more than the preceding 10 feet. That is, the nest 10 feet will cost $125; the next 10 feet will cost $150, etc. How much will it cost to build a 90-foot tower? Solving this problem involves the arithmetic sequence. The arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each succeeding term differs from the preceding term by the same amount (Bluman, 2011). n = number of terms altogether n = 9 d = the common differences d = 25 ª1 = first term ª1 = 100 ªn = last term ª2 = ª9 The formula used to solve this problem came from the book page 222. ªn = ª1 + (n -1)d ª9 = 100 + (9-1)25 ª9 = 100 + (8)25 ...
