Go Maths How to Become a Pure Mathematician (or Statistician) Integrating Spreadsheets in the Math Classroom A function is a set of instructions for calculating a value in a spreadsheet cell. Functions consist of: data - numbers you type in the formula and values in other cells. the instructions to process that data. Teaching Measures of Central Tendency with Spreadsheets You can use a spreadsheet to calculate the mean and range for a set a data and determine the median and mode. Measurement using Spreadsheets A formula can also be written to make measurement conversions. Obviously converting feet to yards is far from the only conversion. Finding Percents with Spreadsheets The example below illustrates yet another use for spreadsheets in the classroom. In order to make a table similar to the one above, it is necessary to write two formulas. Finding Areas with Spreadsheets This is a particularly powerful use of spreadsheets in the classroom. The formula for finding the area of the triangle would be =(I23*J23)/2.
School:Mathematics Welcome to the School of Mathematics! The Lorenz attractor is a chaotic map, noted for its butterfly shape. The map shows how the state of a dynamical system evolves over time in a complex, non-repeating pattern. Since you're here, you either are someone wishing to share your knowledge of Mathematics, or you are someone who wishes to gain knowledge about Mathematics. Mathematics has many facets; though it has a wealth of applications, Mathematics is also a science, and an art, in its own right. The School of Mathematics is a work in progress. The School of Mathematics wishes you a very warm welcome. Divisions and departments[edit] Divisions and Departments of the School exist on pages in "topic" name space.

Free Printable Worksheets for Preschool through Sixth Grade Rader's NUMBERNUT.COM Winter Math Activities Koch Snowflake The Koch Snowflake is an example of an iterative drawing as each successive stage begins with the previous stage. The Koch snowflake begins with an equilateral triangle. The first iteration divides each side of the triangle into thirds, removes the middle third and replaces it with two line segments of the same length. Koch Snowflake: Cynthia Lanius java applet that allows students to see each successive iteration of the figure [online activity] Koch Snowflake: diagrams of first three iterations in black on white background.
