Research shows that attitudes about science, math, and technology start to form during the early schooling years. This pioneering book shows how to successfully use technology in the early childhood classroom. Grounded in a constructivist approach to teaching and learning, the author focuses on robotic manipulatives that allow children to explore complex concepts in a concrete and fun way. At the same time, she examines how this technology engages sensorimotor and socioemotional skills, which are fundamental for the healthy development of young children.

Over the last few decades, important progresses in the methods of sampling have been achieved. This book draws up an inventory of new methods that can be useful for selecting samples. Forty-six sampling methods are described in the framework of general theory. The algorithms are described rigorously, which allows implementing directly the described methods. This book is aimed at experienced statisticians who are familiar with the theory of survey sampling.From the reviews:pAs well as containing much new material, the book succeeds in providing a systematic development for what often seems a collection of isolated and ad hoc methods. A.J. Scott for Short Book Reviews of the ISI, December 2006pThis book draws up an inventory of new methods that can be useful for selecting samples. a ] The book is well-organized and lucidly written. It maintains a very high level of mathematical rigor and, at the same time, its contents have direct practical applicability. The numerous examples as well as the extensive list of references will endear it to the readers. Overall, this is an outstanding book which will be of great value to anyone interested in the theory of survey sampling. (Rahul Mukerjee, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1099 (1), 2007)pThis book is a state-of-the-art of sampling techniques different from a ~order samplinga (TM), and its author takes this opportunity to clarify his own points of view and contribution to the topic, mainly with some emphasis on joint inclusion probabilities and the use of the so-called cube method to select balanced samples. a ] Forty-six algorithms are described. The book is clear, easy to read and could be used as a textbook to teach the topic a ] . (Guy Jumarie, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 c)pA comprehensive overview of a ] sampling algorithms, in a very clear and comprehensible way. The concise presentation of many sampling algorithms enables interested practitioners to easily apply or implement the methods in their own prog@TÀ

This Spanish-language series, perfect for English language learners, uses simple text and colorful photographs and illustrations to introduce students to key math readiness skills. Each book focuses on key areas of the kindergarten math curriculum – number recognition, lengths, greater than and less than, and adding and subtracting.

The book is concise and includes the topics covered in class. The explanation of concepts are well integrated with application problems with the use of computer software (I do like that).Writing style and level of mathematics are critical elements that can heavily influence the studentsa attitudes and motivation to succeed in the course. This is a text that students will find easy to read. This text is written with students in mind. The level of mathematics is kept within reach of the students without sacrificing accuracy, clarity, or the exposure a topic deserves.Get the grade you need and prepare for the business world with CONCISE MANAGERIAL STATISTICS. Learn Business Statistics without the complicated math. Fully integrating the use of computers with statistics, the textbook describes the concepts and applications of business statistics and gives you an opportunity to observe and actually carry out computer-generated solutions using SPSS, MicrosoftA(R) Excel, and MINITAB. Plus, this volume comes with access to InfoTracA(R) College Edition! Save time, save money–and eliminate the trek to the library and long waits for reserved readings with this online university library of more than 5,000 academic and popular magazines, newspapers, and journals.

Offering a uniquely modern, balanced approach, Tussy/Gustafson/Koenig”s BASIC MATHEMATICS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS, Fourth Edition, integrates the best of traditional drill and practice with the best elements of the reform movement. To many developmental math students, mathematics is like a foreign language. They have difficulty translating the words, their meanings, and how they apply to problem solving. Emphasizing the language of mathematics, the text”s fully integrated learning process is designed to expand students” reasoning abilities and teach them how to read, write, and think mathematically. It blends instructional approaches that include vocabulary, practice, and well-defined pedagogy with an emphasis on reasoning, modeling, communication, and technology skills.

Pi to One Hundred Thousand Places is the ultimate book for those who are fans of this important mathematical constant which is approximately measured to 3.14159. In Euclidean geometry, Pi represents the ratio of a circle”s circumference to its diameter. What can one do with a book of the complete sequence of pi rounded to 100,000 places? You can impress your friends with this unique book. You can have math memory competitions with friends and family to see who can remember sequences of pi better. You can even use the pi sequences to help build and grow your own brains memory abilities! This is not just a book for nerds and geeks, but Pi to One Hundred Thousand Places is for all mankind! Don”t miss out on getting your own paperback copy of this unique publication.

Daydreaming in class is causing troubles for Andy Russell, especially in Ms. Roman”s math class. Classroom angst is cleverly explored in this third book in the series about the likable fourth grader who learns that maybe teachers aren”t always as bad as they seem.

More than 40 ready to reproduce pages for the fun, skill-building practice they need! For use with Grade 3.
