2. Simple random sample - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_random_sample

   For example, if a teacher has a class arranged in 5 rows of 6 columns and she wants to take a random sample of 5 students she might pick one of the 6 columns at random. This would be an epsem sample but not all subsets of 5 pupils are equally likely here, as only the subsets that are arranged as a single column are eligible for selection.

3. List of mathematical examples - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_examples

   This page will attempt to list examples in mathematics. To qualify for inclusion, an article should be about a mathematical object with a fair amount of concreteness. Usually a definition of an abstract concept, a theorem, or a proof would not be an "example" as the term should be understood here (an elegant proof of an isolated but particularly striking fact, as opposed to a proof of a ...

   The first example is accessible to primary school students, and may be used to teach the concept of subtraction. The second example can only be solved using geometric knowledge, specifically that of the formula for the volume of a cylinder with a given radius and height , and requires an understanding of the concept of " rate ".

5. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(statistics)

   A visual representation of the sampling process. In statistics, quality assurance, and survey methodology, sampling is the selection of a subset or a statistical sample (termed sample for short) of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. The subset is meant to reflect the whole ...

6. Manipulative (mathematics education) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manipulative_(mathematics...

   It is critical that students learn math concepts using a variety of tools. For example, as students learn to make patterns, they should be able to create patterns using all three of these tools. Seeing the same concept represented in multiple ways as well as using a variety of concrete models will expand students’ understandings.

7. Elementary mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_mathematics

   Elementary mathematics, also known as primary or secondary school mathematics, is the study of mathematics topics that are commonly taught at the primary or secondary school levels around the world. It includes a wide range of mathematical concepts and skills, including number sense , algebra , geometry , measurement , and data analysis .

8. Exercise (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_(mathematics)

   In college mathematics exercises often depend on functions of a real variable or application of theorems. The standard exercises of calculus involve finding derivatives and integrals of specified functions. Usually instructors prepare students with worked examples: the exercise is stated, then a model answer is provided. Often several worked ...

9. Mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

   There is no general consensus about the definition of mathematics or its epistemological status—that is, its place inside knowledge. A great many professional mathematicians take no interest in a definition of mathematics, or consider it undefinable. There is not even consensus on whether mathematics is an art or a science.
