Roland "Ron" Edwin Larson (born October 31, 1941) is a professor of mathematics at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, Pennsylvania. [1] He is best known for being the author of a series of widely used mathematics textbooks ranging from middle school through the second year of college.
[1] Two dozen other nations also participate in the competition. There are two divisions, Elementary and Middle School. Elementary level problems are for grades 4-6 and Middle School level problems are for grades 7-8, though 4-6 graders may participate in Middle School problems. Hundreds of thousands of students participate annually in MOEMS ...
These tiles have proven to provide concrete models for elementary school, middle school, high school, and college-level introductory algebra students. They have also been used to prepare prison inmates for their General Educational Development (GED) tests. [1] Algebra tiles allow both an algebraic and geometric approach to algebraic concepts.
Success in middle-school mathematics courses is correlated with having an understanding of numbers by the start of first grade. [42] This traditional sequence assumes that students will pursue STEM programs in college, though, in practice, only a minority are willing and able to take this option. [4] Often a course in Statistics is also offered ...
Under (new from 1991) president Nader F. Darehshori Houghton Mifflin acquired McDougal Littell in 1994, for $138 million, an educational publisher of secondary school materials, [26] and the following year acquired D.C. Heath and Company, [27] a publisher of supplemental educational resources.
Mass point geometry, colloquially known as mass points, is a problem-solving technique in geometry which applies the physical principle of the center of mass to geometry problems involving triangles and intersecting cevians. [1]
For district meet academic championship and district meet sweepstakes awards, points are awarded to the school as follows: Individual places: 1st—15, 2nd—12, 3rd—10, 4th—8, 5th—6, and 6th—4. Team places: 1st—10 and 2nd—5. The maximum number of points a school can earn in Calculator Applications is 37.
In mathematics, the moving sofa problem or sofa problem is a two-dimensional idealization of real-life furniture-moving problems and asks for the rigid two-dimensional shape of the largest area that can be maneuvered through an L-shaped planar region with legs of unit width. [1] The area thus obtained is referred to as the sofa constant.
