Using an Elevator to Evaluate Signed Number Expressions. The 10 Most Useful Learnist Boards of the Week. Last week we looked at some extremely useful science boards on Learnist. This week, we’ll do the same for math. As the United States ramps up its drive towards increasing proficiency in math and numeracy across curricula, these Learnist boards on mathematical topics and Math Common Core State Standards should prove invaluable. Common Core Math Standards Grades 6-12 This parent board—a board containing other boards, is the go-to board for all Math Common Cores. Crystal Morgan assembled and organized all the boards relating to the Math Common Cores in this one easily accessible board.

It’s well worth a bookmark. Common Core Math K-5 Cindy Brooker’s site shows many math sites and applications meant to reinforce the elementary Common Cores in Math. Just Testing—Adding Math to a Learnist Board I included this “testing” board because it is often difficult to integrate advanced mathematical expressions into visuals. Math Investigations: Grade 5.

Please send me e-mail if you believe there's a major flaw in my rankings (or an error in any of the biographies). Obviously the relative ranks of, say Fibonacci and Ramanujan, will never satisfy everyone since the reasons for their "greatness" are different. I'm sure I've overlooked great mathematicians who obviously belong on this list. Please e-mail and tell me! Following are the top mathematicians in chronological (birth-year) order. Earliest mathematicians Little is known of the earliest mathematics, but the famous Ishango Bone from Early Stone-Age Africa has tally marks suggesting arithmetic. Early Vedic mathematicians The greatest mathematics before the Golden Age of Greece was in India's early Vedic (Hindu) civilization.
