BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Mathematics is one of the subjects taught in school. In our everyday life we encounter Math; some find it interesting but still many find it difficult and even despise it. It is commonly perceived to be difficult. Attitude towards mathematics plays a crucial role in the teaching and learning processes of mathematics. Researchers concluded that positive attitude towards mathematics leads students towards success in mathematics. In education‚ research suggests that student

the fact that the curves had been under scrutiny by the Greeks‚ the greatest exponents of geometry‚ shows their inclination toward some algebra. Numerical approximations for pi also heavily featured geometry in an otherwise arithmetic branch of mathematics. Pi itself is a constant‚ unlikely‚ one would think‚ to have anything remotely to do with geometry. But attempts to find and approximate the value of pi have used geometry. Ptolemy of Alexandria used a 360 sided polygon inscribed within a circle

Her father‚ the Nigerian George Okikiolu‚ has written more mathematics papers than any other Black mathematician. She is married to mathematician Hans Lindblad. Okikiolu earned her B.A. in Mathematics from Cambridge University in England before coming to the United States in 1987 to attend graduate school mathematics at UCLA the University

us. Later through extensive mathematics arithmetic has also become commonly used in high level mathematics where things may not relate to real life right now or sometimes never. It is crucial to understand the difference between two kinds of mathematics to really understand the question of arithmetical truths being empirically falsifiable or not. These two contexts in which we can analyze mathematics are pure mathematics (imaginary world) and applied mathematics (the real world around us). The

Mathematics I. Introduction A. Background: Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of shape‚ quantity and arrangement. It is difficult to define exactly what mathematics is. Everyone learns mathematics at school‚ the best way to understand what mathematics is and what mathematicians work on - is to do mathematics. B. Thesis Statement: Even though everyone has studied mathematics since they were young‚ mathematics still difficult for everyone because of many

the fact that many young people leave education innumerate. “85% of all students in England give up mathematics at the age of 16: only 15% go on to study AS and A level Mathematics”. In my opinion it should be the “norm” for the majority of young people to study mathematics until they are 18 years of age. This does not have to be pure maths‚ e.g. Mathematics

PLAN-CONSUMER ARITHMETIC Subject rationale Mathematics is an activity that is intrinsic to the development of the mind‚ civilization and the daily lives of each individual. It is the study of the properties of number and its relation to measurement‚ space‚ shape‚ statistics and probability. Mathematics is essentially an abstract subject‚ and algebra is in essence the strand of mathematics that presents this in its purest form. The study of mathematics enables one to become a creative and critical

1.1 Numeracy is an important key part of our everyday lives. The numeracy curriculum aims to give pupils a solid grounding in all aspects of numeracy. An important key aspect of mathematics is that children are able to understand it purpose and apply to real life situations. In early years numeracy skills are developed through practical activities learning about shape‚ pattern‚ counting‚ sorting and measuring. As skills develop they are then able to progress further and understand more complex operations
