Mathematics appears to be the only area of knowledge that offers ‘definite’ answers to questions. This quality of mathematics has caused it to become sort of a universal language. Although mathematics has existed for millennia among human cultures‚ and practical applications for it have existed ever since the Egyptian architects and pyramid builders‚ the reason why every single country in the world today has more hours of math in their public school curriculum than say‚ dance‚ music or even the humanities

article Math Madness: Coloring‚ Reasoning‚ and Celebrating‚ discusses how important it is to include math activities that are challenging‚ but also fun in the classroom. The article was written by Nicholas Wasswerman and is based on what he saw in his daughter’s classroom. He noticed that the school had publishing parties and other elaborate projects for certain subjects but lacked “anything remotely comparable in mathematics” (Wasserman 469). This is when he decided to step in and Math Madness was

LESSON 1 REFLECTION It is important to critically analyze questions such as‚ what is pi? ‚ And what is the area of a circle? The obvious assumptions would be the numerical approximation 3.14 and the formula of the area of a circle‚ pi*r^2. However‚ as we soon learned Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter or the number of radius squares needed to completely cover a circle exactly. And the area of a circle is the unit squares needed to cover a circle exactly‚ or the space
