Babylonian and Egyptian mathematics Early Babylonia existed from about 3100 B.C. to 2100 B.C. When discussing the Babylonian history‚ we refer to the land area between Tigris and Euphrates rivers northward to Assyria. We must also consider a non-Semitic tribe called the Sumerians. They dwelt in the land of Sumer at the head of the Persian Gulf coming from the mountainous region to the east. They developed a numeral system in the 28th century B.C. and because of the deprivation of stones in their

demanding when I became a high school student. It was quite a transition period as much as I can recall. Mathematics that was taught to us became more complex and was somehow much more difficult than what I was doing in primary school. High school math was presented as something straight forward. Our teachers during that time presented examples in class and gave the homework without further explanation. I knew I had to work hard and concentrate in order to get decent grades. The problems involved

BACKGROUND Mathematics is one subject that pervades life at any age‚ in any circumstance. Thus‚ its value goes beyond the classroom and the school. Mathematics as a school subject‚ therefore‚ must be learned comprehensively and with much depth. The twin goals of mathematics in the basic education levels are Critical Thinking and Problem Solving. Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing‚ applying‚ analyzing‚ synthesizing and/or evaluating

The word “mathematics” comes from a Greek origin and it is very figurative‚ for it was in ancient Greece where it had its more or less actual meaning. The word from which it originates means “science” or “learning”‚ but already in ancient moments it has progressed and expanded
