This chapter covered a LOT of topics. I felt like it was so much to take in. Because of this, it took me multiple readings to finally understand the concepts. However, even now, I have to go back to the book to remember the formulas again. I really hope the chapters ahead aren't going to be as difficult and full of too much information.
A list of the given concepts and a description of how I learned them.
1. The first section of chapter one which was about Sets of Real Numbers and the Cartesian Coordinate Plane" was easy to understand. It only took about two readings for me to understand the concepts. The explanation of the different sets of numbers was easy to learn. The way graphing is supposed to be was also simple to understand.
2. The

The third section was an introduction to functions. For me, identifying the functions on the graph is very easy for me. However, the mathematical concepts of functions was a little more difficult to understand. This took about three readings for me to understand.
4. The fourth section is where the troubled started for me. Function Notation was very complicated for me. It's as if it's in another language that I didn't know. It actually reminded me of chemistry, when you have to simplify the chemical formulas. I had to read it four or five times to vaguely understand how to find the answers.
5. The fifth section about Function Arithmetic was also difficult for me. I remember there was a question in our first Written Assignment, and I had no idea how to do it. It reminded me off a meme that said, "And Satan said to add the alphabet into mathematics." After I checked the answers to the problem, I understood it, however, before the answer was given, I did not understand it. I read the section probably five times and did not understand it. However, I started going on YouTube to watch videos of function arithmetic, and I am slowly understanding it. I don't want this section stopping me, so I'll do whatever it takes to understand
1.1.2 Graphs We have now converted information from words or pictures to tables to formulae and now we’re going to look at how we can convert information into graphs: Example: If we invest R1 and it doubles every month, how much will we have at the end of 1 year? Let’s first draw a table: Months 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Rands 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 Now let’s depict this information as a graph or chart: We can draw a bar chart:
Due to the deeper understanding required to successfully execute this portion of the lesson, the higher-level Cognitive Demands for procedures with connections tasker assigned J, K, L and M. In doing mathematics,
The assessment questions will be of the same standard and difficulty as the questions in the recommended handbook (but not necessarily the same). It is of the utmost importance that you do the end of the chapter problems yourself. They have been designed to teach you important principles that are
He really takes the time to explain all of his thoughts thoroughly. He makes sure to give plenty of examples throughout the book. He even quotes politicians and he explains whether what they said is right or wrong. By doing this he tackles a number of myths and explains why they are not true. I found it intriguing how he compiles and deciphers his data.
The short sections in the 19 chapters help the reader understand the text, which is sometimes complex. In the beginning
Standard 3.OA.1: Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7. Children start working with equal groups as a whole instead of counting it individual objects. Students start understanding that are able to group number is according to get a product. Students can solve duplication by understand the relationship between the two number.
Part I Which of the concepts in these chapters was the most difficult for you? In 5-7 sentences, explain what you think you understand and ask 2-3 questions about things you know you don 't understand. Standard error of the mean I read the section on standard error of the mean (SEM) three times and unfortunately, this concept is difficult for me to understand. I do understand that the standard error of the mean is the standard deviation of a sampling distribution of means. I understand how to calculate the SEM (simply divide the standard deviation of the sample by the square root of the sample size minus one).
The third chapter through the fifth chapter addresses three specific mathematical areas. These areas are infinity, dimension, and chance. In my opinion, these three subjects are evident by the complexity of mathematics for students that might have otherwise been unaware. “What Does Infinite Mean?” This is the how the authors begin chapter three.
The had a lot of information and was very informative. I would give this book a three. I will rate it three because of it good, it just was a lot of information that made me lose interest in the book.
Do NOT simply copy the wording from the text. Also, I strongly encourage you to read through the questions first and then read the textbook passages. This way you will know what specific information to pay attention to as you are reading. Your answers to these questions MUST be uploaded to Turnitin.com by 12:00 noon on Sunday, 1/10/2016.
According to Ehrman, this edition of the text provides the reader with a new design that makes the book more readable as well as new tools “designed to help students synthesize the material in the chapter.” (xxviii) Additionally, this edition contains numerous
‘ I’ll admit that while I do a lot of reading, books are not really my format of choice. In fact, the last time I read a book cover to cover was over ten years ago. So you can imagine my surprise when after I began to read the book yesterday afternoon, I wasn’t able to stop for long before diving back into it. I finished it earlier today, devouring all 384 pages in nearly one sitting
There was a lot of balance within this book. In the book there are two parts: part one
Because the book focuses on geometrical facts and information and includes real-world problems, it is an informational book (p.272). In addition, it falls in the comedy and humor genre because “the reading has a visual format that requires reading
