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

Definition essay Mathematics By Gilberto Duque Muñoz This could sound as a frivolous question‚ but the answer is much more elaborate than that‚ so any study of mathematics should start with defining what‚ in fact‚ it is. 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

Common Factoring: Find out the GREATEST COMMON FACTOR of each term and factor it out. Using Grouping: Sometimes‚ a polynomial will have no common factor for all the terms. Instead‚ we can group together the terms which have a common factor. When you use the Grouping Method: * When there is no factor common to all terms * When there is an even number of terms. Example: The polynomial x3+3x2−6x−18 has no single factor that is common to every term. However‚ we notice that if we group together
