The construction of a fundamental understanding of numeration and place value concepts forms the foundation for all additional branches of mathematics (Booker‚ et al.‚ 2010). Computational processes and patterns of thinking require a clear understanding of these concepts‚ as they underpin the learning and use of mathematics (Booker et al.‚ 2010). Developing mathematical thinking from an early age is extremely important in establishing students understanding of number concepts. Clements (2001‚ p271)

A revolution of most any nation is going to have significant social impacts on the whole nation. The effect that the American Revolution made on the nation though was determined by how significant the desire for freedom was.

Mathematics is the abstract study of topics such as quantity (numbers)‚ Structures‚ Space and Change. Mathematics is a science which draws necessary conclusions. It is a broad ranging field of study in which the properties and interactions of idealized objects are examined. As we already know‚ Mathematics is becoming more and more useful to Geologists. Mathematical Geology can be an essential aid in formulating models and scientific theories to bring together different geological phenomena. Geomagnetic

DISCRETE MATHEMATICS Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous. In contrast to real numbers that have the property of varying "smoothly"‚ the objects studied in discrete mathematics – such as integers‚ graphs‚ and statements in logic – do not vary smoothly in this way‚ but have distinct‚ separated values. Discrete mathematics therefore excludes topics in "continuous mathematics" such as calculus and analysis. Discrete objects

Environment The highest form of pure thought is in mathematics. ~Plato Maria Montessori believed that human intelligence is no longer based on natural intelligence but on mathematical intelligence. Humans have moved beyond the innate survival instincts of early humans and moved toward an analytical awareness of the world. Math is more than math facts and computations. It deals with shape‚ space‚ patterns‚ symbols and the relationships found therein. Mathematics: Birth to Age Three Learning about patterns
