Coordinate graphing with pictures or Cartesian graphing - any way you describe this book, it is still fun! This is the third book in the series of Making Coordinate Graphing Fun. This book is for students, teachers, and anyone who wants to improve their graphing skills. Students will need to solve equations for each plot point in Making Coordinate Graphing Fun: Equations 1. Graphing is fun and some students need a little more practice with equations while other students need a little more assistance with graphing. Accomplish two assignments in one, practice and learning, with Making Coordinate Graphing Fun: Equations 1. Educators, including international educators, have purchased one or more of this series because students, along with the educators, have found this series different, exciting, interesting, differentiated, and educational.

In this unique collection of math activities, students solve computational questions, equations, word problems, and puzzles to find coordinates -- then connect the coordinates to create a cartoon image! Extensions for some activities require students to add to or change the pictures and record new coordinates. Topics include: -- operations with integers -- decimals and fractions -- greatest common factor -- math puzzles -- magic squares -- symmetry Reproducible. Includes blank graph pages.

Calculus is designed for the typical two- or three-semester general calculus course, incorporating innovative features to enhance student learning. The book guides students through the core concepts of calculus and helps them understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them. Due to the comprehensive nature of the material, we are offering the book in three volumes for flexibility and efficiency. Volume 3 covers parametric equations and polar coordinates, vectors, functions of several variables, multiple integration, and second-order differential equations.

How to separate facts from fake science in the Disinformation Age: “Cuts through the chaos . . . sure to keep you laughing while also keeping you thinking.” —Matt Candeias, PhD, author of In Defense of Plants We live in an era when scams, frauds, fake news, fake stories, fake science, and false narratives are everywhere. Fortunately, you don’t need a BS in Science to spot science BS. This guide from educator Dave Farina, aka YouTube’s Professor Dave, is a playful yet practical investigation of popular opinions and consumer trends that permeate our society. Shoppers insist on “organic” everything even if they’re unable to define the term. Healers and quantum mystics secure a foothold alongside science-based medicine in an unregulated and largely unchallenged landscape. Misleading marketing is used to sell you products and services that range from ineffectual to downright dangerous. With the knowledge gained from Dave Farina’s simple explanations of basic scientific principles, you can learn to spot misinformation and lies on the internet before they spot you. Learn the real science behind such semi-controversial subjects as drugs, vaccines, energy, and biotechnology—and most importantly, arm yourself with the critical-thinking skills everyone needs in a world filled with nonsense. “Scientific literacy is our best defense in an age of increasing disinformation.” —Kellie Gerardi, aerospace professional and author of Not Necessarily Rocket Science

Reflecting NCTM and AMATYC standards, this reform algebra text presents elementary topics in the context of problem solving and concept development. Focusing on data, equations, and graphing, students work in small groups to investigate eight core mathematical problems, adding skills to their mathematical "tools kits" through active learning. Emphasizing hands-on understanding over routine drill, the authors incorporate the use of physical objects for developing mathematical models and structures. When appropriate, scientific calculators are integrated.

By presenting teacher profiles and sample lessons from across the country, this book shows that the NCTM standards reflect successful practices of teachers at the "grass roots".
