...? Article Summaries: Math in Action Engaging Children Physically and Mentally: The Power of Math Trails Summary In “Designing Math Trails for the Elementary School,” Kim Margaret Richardson (2004) discussed the role of math trails in making Math more physically engaging and interesting to students. Richardson (2004) stressed that math trails can accommodate math concepts from preschool to college. Math trails are similar to science trails because teachers use a pre-selected and planned route, where students can learn mathematics in an actual environment. Richardson (2004) also explained...

...Math Problem a) I constructed the first linear function based on the municipal solid waste data for 1970 and 1997 and the second linear function based on the data for 1980 and 1997. A dependent variable is the annual production of municipal solid waste in million tons. An independent variable is the number of years after 1960.
Based on the municipal solid waste data from the graph, I received such numbers for independent and dependent variables for the models.

217 = a + b*37
The solution is a=85.4, b=3.56. Therefore, the first linear function is:

...Derivatives of sine functions Investigate the derivative of the function Figure Graph of function and for Figure shows the graph of function (red curve) and it derivative (gradient) (green curve). From graph it can be seen that the gradient of the function behaves similarly as original function, however it shifts left side by (or shift right side by).
= or
From above, it is obvious that the graphs of the sine and it derivative cosine functions are sinusoids of different phases1. The derivative is also a sine function with a phase-shift of (or).
Conjecture: The graphs of the sine function, and its derivative cosine function, are sinusoids of different phases i.e. the derivative is also a sine function with a phase-shift... of sine...

...Critique Article – “The Big Math for Little Kids Early Childhood Mathematics Program” The teaching of Mathematics to the young children requires specific care and attention as the approach adopted in early teaching has a great value considering the general attitude the child develops to the subject throughout its life. Among the many articles which emphasizes on this special requirement in the teaching of Mathematics to young children, the article “The Big Math for Little Kids Early Childhood Mathematics Program” by Robert Balfanz, Herbert P. Ginsburg, and Carole Greenes has a central value. It is specifically because the authors throughout the article deal with research based principles for the design of an effective program... for the...

A. What kind of correlation do you expect to find between annual income and amount spent on car? Will it be positive or negative? Will it be a strong relationship? Base your answer on your personal guess as well as by looking through the data.
The two variables, annual income and amount spent on car are expected to have a positive correlation. The main reason is that when the income is higher, people tend to spend more on their cars. Moreover, the relationship between the two variables is expected to be strong.
Based on the data given, it is evident that the annual income and the amount spent on car are directly proportional to one... XXXXX Number:...
