Math Projects About Project-Based Learning Projects help students personalize their learning and are ideal for gaining key knowledge and understanding of content and answering the question: Where am I ever going to use this?" Among the greatest benefits of project-based learning (PBL) are gains in students' critical-thinking skills and development of their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. PBL is also an ideal way to help learners gain speaking and presentation skills indentified in the Common Core Standards. However, as Bryan Goodwin (2010) found in reviewing the literature, a major shortcoming in many student projects is that educators tend to assign projects just for the sake of doing them. Students should publicly present their work, as they will be more motivated to produce a quality product when knowing a real audience will view it (Larmer & Mergendoller, 2015, 2010). Finally, projects should include the element of reflection. What do we mean by building 21st century skills? Key Questions

Math Riddles: Try to answer these brain teasers and math riddles Riddle 1 How can you add eight 8's to get the number 1,000? (only use addition) The key to this math riddle is realizing that the one place must be zero. 888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1,000 Riddle 2 Two Fathers and Two Sons Riddle Two fathers and two sons sat down to eat eggs for breakfast. one of the 'fathers' is also a grandfather. In other words, the one father is both a son and a father. Riddle 3 Digit Frequency Part I. The most common digit is '1.' Part II. 0 is the least common digit even though 1,000 has three zero's ! Explanations for both riddles The digits 0 through 9 all follow the same pattern there is exactly 1 occurrence of each digit for every ten numbers. For instance the digit 2 appears once between 10 and 19, at 12. Again, let's look at 2 which appears in 20,21,22, 23, etc.. as well as 200,201, 202,203.. So to figure out how to answer the first riddle you had to see what distinguishes the number 1? Riddle 4 Three Guys at A Hotel Riddle Three guys rent a hotel room for the night. Riddle 5
Fraction as a Number: 3.5 Indicator of progress An important step in mathematical development is that students come to see a fraction a/b as one number, even though it is written using two whole numbers, a and b. The concept of fraction begins as a way of describing part-whole relationships. If I am getting two fifths of the pizza, then my part is obtained by dividing the pizza into 5 equal parts, and taking 2 of them. Fractions can be used in these ways before students fully consider them as numbers in their own right. Illustration 1: Placing a fraction on a number line A student who does not know that 2/3 is one number will have trouble marking this point on a number line as a point between 0 and 1. Before they see a fraction as one number, students cannot place fractions on a number line and are unable to use the number line to model operations with fractions. Illustration 2: Number sense, especially with addition and subtraction of fractions Teaching strategies Activity 1: Comparing Fractions Diagnostic Test

Here's a fun trick to show a friend, a group, or an entire class of people. Step 1) Have them take the month number from their birthday: January = 1, Feb = 2 etc. Have them give you the total. How It Works: Let M be the month number and D will be the day number. Thus, if you subtract off the 165, what will remain will be the month in hundreds plus the day! By the way, if you wish to know how many minutes and seconds you have been alive and lots more about when you were born, you might like to try this website ==> Birthday Calculator Divisibility Rules! *A big thank you to Torsten Sillke for these rules!

The Thirty Greatest Mathematicians Click for a discussion of certain omissions. 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. Top Thales of Miletus (ca 624 - 546 BC) Greek domain Apastambha (ca 630-560 BC) India Pythagoras of Samos (ca 578-505 BC) Greek domain Panini (of Shalatula) (ca 520-460 BC) Gandhara (India) Tiberius(?)
