Mathematics is a discipline whose basic ingredients are numbers, shapes, and algebraic relationships. Logical reasoning is used to study the properties of these objects and develop connections between them. The results can be used to understand and analyze a vast array of phenomena arising in all of the sciences, engineering and everyday life. For this reason, mathematics is often called the "language of science.” We support mathematics achievement for all learners by providing guidance and technical assistance on implementation of academic standards, current best practices, and multitier systems of intervention. When a student understands a mathematical concept, they move fluidly between the concrete and abstract. …show more content…
On a baseline level, measurements fall into the categories of weight, area, volume, length and even temperature. While we look at these various categories as stoic forms of mathematical measurements a closer examination of things we do in everyday life reveals their clear importance. In recent years, Project Math, was developed to empower students to develop essential problem solving skills for higher education and the workplace by engaging teenagers with mathematics set in interesting and real-world contexts. Probably the single most cited practical application for math in our everyday life is for money management. If you can't add or subtract correctly, it’s going to be very difficult for you to survive in the society. To be able to adequately understand the terms of a loan or an investment account, a basic understanding of higher math such as Algebra is required. You see, the interest (growth or payment terms) pertaining to these types of money markets utilize the concepts of exponential growth. For example, a typical mortgage will use the compound interest formula to determine how much interest needs to be paid each
