The passage discusses the relationship between mathematics and theology throughout history. It notes that many great mathematicians were also deeply religious individuals who saw their work in mathematics as a way to better understand and appreciate the complexity of God's creation. Theologians also incorporated mathematical concepts and principles into their works. There was a close relationship between the two fields during periods of history, with each informing and inspiring the other. However, in more modern times mathematics and theology have become more separated as specialized fields of study.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Southernization Essay
The idea of Southernization came from the observation that "Southern" values and beliefs were
becoming more important to the success of the government, reaching a climax in the 1990s, with a
Democratic president and vice–president from the South, and Congressional leaders in both parties
originating in the South. Some would agree that Southern values started to become more and more
important in national elections through the early 21st century. American journalists started to use the
term "Southernization" in the late 2000s to describe the political and cultural effects. Credit is given
to the American South for different values and beliefs, including religious fundamentalism, and
patriotism or nationalism. Other ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The search for gold that was conducted by the Indians may also have led them to the shores of
Africa. Although its interpretation is contentious, some archaeological evidence commends the
evidence of Indian guidance on parts of East Africa as early as 300 C.E. There is also one report that
gold was being hunted by Ethiopian merchants in East Africa, who were part of India's most
important trading partners.
Indian voyages on the Indian Ocean were part of a more general development, bordering on current
with the Mauryan Empire, in which sailors of assorted origins began to piece together the shores of
the "Southern Ocean", a Chinese term referring to all the waters from the South China Sea to the
eastern coast of Africa. During that time period, the most bodacious sailors were most certainly the
Malays; peoples came from what is now Malaysia, Indonesia, the southeastern coast of Vietnam,
and the Philippines.
Sometime before 300 B.C.E., Malay sailors began to use the monsoons, which are the seasonal
winds that blow off the continent of Asia in the colder months and onto its shores in the warmer
months, to their advantage. The records of China show that by the 3rd century B.C.E., Malay
seamen were sailing north to the southern coasts of China. They may also have been sailing east to
India, through the straits that are now called Malacca and Sunda. If so, they may have been the first
to institute acquaintance between India and Southeast Asia.

3. Roman Numerals
Roman numerals originated in ancient Rome. It lasted from 8th century BC to 2nd century AD.
When the Romans became industrious in trade and commerce, they soon realized that they needed a
method of counting, assuming all they had at that time were fingers to count on. So they developed a
system based on their hands.
An "I", based on one finger, was used to represent the number one, "II", two fingers, for the number
two, and "III", three fingers, for the number three. The numeral for the number five, "V", came from
the v that your hand makes between the thumb and fore finger. "IV" was used for the number four
by subtracting the first letter, "I" from "V". The numeral "X", or ten, came from using two hands.
The numbers were made by joining

5. Katherine Beattie 's Weekend, By Ann Beattie
Exceptional artists often create in a way that allows for infinite interpretations of their work.
However, it is the author's job to immerse their readers into the storyline as they grasp an
understanding of the overall mood and feeling of the story. Some may argue that patterns within a
work may be merely coincidental, but in Ann Beattie's "Weekend," the repeated mentioning of
weather patterns and the fireplace are used in order to portray a certain mood throughout the story.
These patterns allow the reader to deeply connect with the character's emotions and understand the
ambiance without the narrator directly stating how the character is feeling. In "Weekend," Ann
Beattie's intentional use of outside forces such as the rain, the temperature, and the presence of fire
allows the reader to develop a deeper understanding concerning the ongoing tensions and emotions
in the atmosphere throughout the entire story. For the duration of the story, the rain is mentioned
constantly as the mood shifts according to its presence or absence. Whenever it rains, Lenore seems
to gain clarity regarding her toxic relationship with her husband; whereas in the absence of rain,
everyone shifts into a state of oblivion as they pretend these immoral incidents between George and
his lover, Sarah, are not occurring. As George and Sarah leave for their outdoor escapade, Julie, who
is George's other guest, and Lenore hear the rain commence. The beginning of the rain prompts

Why did he shoot the elephant?
There are many different reasons as to why George Orwell chose to shoot the Elephant in the short
story, "Shooting an Elephant". In the following essay, there will be a wide and deep response of why
George Orwell chose to shoot the elephant in the end.
The first and primary reason for George Orwell shooting the elephant is simply Orwell being afraid.
He was originally not intending to shoot the elephant; he merely brought the rifle for his own
protection. "I had no intention of shooting the elephant – I had merely sent for the rifle to defend
myself if necessary – and it is always unnerving to have a crowd following you. I marched down the

Orwell claims that a white man must not be frightened in front of "natives", so he wasn't, but who

To sum up the reasoning behind George Orwell shooting the elephant, one must conclude, that there
had been put great pressure on his shoulders. He had two ways to go, both with major problems.

The Effect of a Schema on Memory
Psychology MSc, University of Hertfordshire
Abstract
Schema Theory is a principle in which cognitive processes are influenced by social and cultural
factors. According to schema theory the knowledge we have stored in our memory is reorganised
into a set of schemas which is based upon our general knowledge and our previous experience.
Experiments have proved that despite seeing and interacting with an object almost every day, our
ability to remember said object is greatly influenced by the schemas we already have. This
experiment will be conducted in an almost identical way to that of French and Richards and look at

12. Rhetorical Analysis Thoreau
Questions on Rhetoric and Style:
1. Describe the tone Thoreau establishes in paragraph 2. How does it contribute to the rhetorical
effect of the paragraph? In paragraph two, Thoreau uses a depressing, problematic and facetious
tone to get his message across. Thoreau explains how he is strongly against the United States
government, and also points out problems of the government. Thoreau uses depressing diction when
describing the problems of the government in order to make people feel hatred toward the
government and realize how problematic it actually is. Thoreau uses Power of Three to exemplify
the problems of the government, and further connects with the audience on an emotional level by
pointing out how the citizens help lead to the countries' problematic state. Thoreau's use of
inappropriate humor when he explains trade makes the United States government seem trivial and
almost as a lost cause due to the problems caused by the leaders. His relation of such a serious topic
to a comical reference makes it an easier to understand situation. The use of this specific tone
creates a more impactful rhetorical effect that is relayed in the paragraph.
3. Thoreau develops many analogies to support his arguments (e.g., in paras. 8 and 9). Select three,
and explain whether you find them convincing. How effectively does each one support the claim
Thoreau is using it to support? Thoreau's use of analogies to support his arguments are very

From calculating digital computations to setting the foundation of modern applications, the number
system is more relevant in life and culture than most people realize. For example, people use the
number system to organize sections and chapters from literature, keep financial affairs orderly and
neatly, and compute numerous types of everyday costs. Also, it dictates how modern applications
function and how programming languages work seamlessly. Despite these incredible
accomplishments, the world would lack all knowledge of it were it not for ancient number systems.
These systems include three of the most famous ones in the world: Roman numerals, Mayan
numerals, and Egyptian numerals. Through innovation, technology, and ingenuity, ancient ... Show

For example: IV = 4, IX = 9, XXXIV = 34, CIX = 109, CD = 400, and MCMIV = 1904. The key to
handling this exception is to subtract the digit ahead of the power from the numeral itself [4].
Now that the basic numbers and rules have been covered, the arithmetic for addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division can be understood. To calculate addition, one must first rewrite the
numbers to arrange them in descending order after putting them together. Next, one must learn to
ignore the subtractive system and write out individual numbers when appropriate. For example: 4 =
IIII, 9 = VIIII, 34 = XXXIIII; but 3 still equals III, 6 still equals VI, and 37 still equals XXXVII.
Third, evaluating in ascending order, one must rewrite trailing "I" digits into a simplified version.
Finally, any further required simplification is performed. To demonstrate this, consider two numbers
in addition, 13 + 66. The numbers are written side–by–side (XIII + LXVI), then put together in
descending order (LXXVIIII). The four trailing "I" digits are rewritten as IV, and this number is
rewritten as LXXVIV. The last three digits, the "VIV," is equivalent to "IX (9)," so the number is
rewritten one final time as LXXIX (79).
For subtraction, one must borrow numbers by marking out common symbols in the second number.
For example, LXVIII – XII (68–12) =

them through how to draw it using the illustration below for clarity. They will need to fill in the
types of pies before being given the data; you can use the types of pies that are listed in the book on
page 12, or you can have the class fill it in with 4 different types of pies. After they have drawn their
table, they will need to fill it in. Give them the following data: First row (whatever type of pie you

Observation: Observation is the major role of the teacher. The teacher observes for routines and
procedure to be observed. The teacher observes for ground rule in the classroom and in individual
materials. The ground rules are opportunity for the child to develop his/her will. The teacher
observes for pattern of order in the behavior of the child. The teacher observes for respect child to
child, child to material, child to adult interaction.
Control of Error: is the built in aspect of the material also sometime found as coding on the back of
the material.
For Example, in spindle box the extra or not enough spindle left is control of error. The material like
matching numeral to number rods, teacher is the control of error. Prepare of the environment: A
prepared environment is an important role of Montessori classroom .the goal of prepared
environment is to make children safe and comfortable. A calm and orderly space enables the
children to work on various activities of their choice at a pace they are comfortable with. They also
experience a mix of freedom and self–discipline in space that is designed to meet their development
needs.
A teacher observes the child working with the materials and make changes to the environment. In
mathematic materials, extensions and additional problems are introduced to deepen child's
understanding of materials. For example, variations introduced when child is ready with basic

20. The Numbers And Counting System In Ancient Egypt
Numbers and counting systems are used daily by everyone. Numerous civilizations throughout
history like Egypt, Babylonian, Maya and Africa developed a unique number system. They were
commonly used to communicate numbers in an everyday life. Since then counting has changed. A
few of the earlier systems had principles that survived and helped in some way, shape or form to
create our current Hindu Arabic numbering system. It has become widespread. Back in 3000 B.C,
ancient Egypt was using the number system to calculate areas of land, distribute money, and much
more. The Egyptian counting system consisted of hieroglyphs and pictorial signs. The graphic
numbers can be of a person, animal, or plant. The hieroglyphic numbers were a written form of the
number system. It used a decimal base approach. For all the powers of ten, there was a unique
symbol. For example, the number ten was represented as a upside down "U", for the number a
hundred thousand it was tadpole, for a million it was represented by a man kneeling with his arms
raised. When reading or writing the number, it is written from right to left. It was written on temples,
vases, and stone monuments. The Egyptians used hieroglyphic numbers to advance in architectural
achievements. Math was used to make historical creations like tombs and pyramids. Greenwald and
Thomley agree that "the ancient Egyptians were also aware of fractions, which were primarily
written as unit fractions of the form 1⁄n, such as 1⁄2or 1⁄4..."

22. Mathematics and Theology Blossoming Together
Mathematics and theology have blossomed together throughout history with many great
mathematicians also being great theologians. However, in the modern scientific era, mathematics
has become by and large secularized in mainstream academia. Although the secularization of
mathematics seems to ignore mathematics' metaphysical value, in truth, this secularization allows
for mathematics to act as a universal tool and allows the individual to attach his or her own personal
truths without marginalizing the beliefs of others, especially in education. In addition, attaching
one's personal beliefs to systems of math and logic may lead to contradicting interpretations of the
material when taken into the larger context of society, such as with the concept of infinity, the
meaning of truth and proof, or even the source of mathematics itself. In essence, the secularization
of mathematics is a necessity in our modern dynamic world and in order for mathematics to
maintain its effectiveness as a universal tool our personal beliefs must not be attached to
mathematics as a whole.
To begin with, a proper definition of secularization is necessary in order to establish the correct
connotation for the term. As denoted by the world renowned scholar in the study of the sociology of
religion, Jose Casanova, secularization is spoken of in three senses:
a.) Secularization as the decline of religious beliefs and practices in modern societies, often

groups of three items. In English, however, the sign means either "times" or "multiplied by,"

The history of Roman Number Symbol are represented by letters. The Roman numerbs are
represented by seven different letters are I, V, X, L, and D. Therefore, these roman letters represent
1, 5, 10, 100, and 500. Ancient Roman use these seven letters to make a lot of different numbers and
to be written of the Roman alphabet. In the Etruscans was an ancient civilization of Italy developed
their own numeral system with different symbols. A common theory of the origin Roman numeral
system was represented by hand signal. For example, the Roman numeral system by hand signal
was used like one, two, three and four signaled by the equivalent amount of fingers that were used.
Then, "The number five is represented by the thumb and fingers separated, making a 'V' shape and
The number ten is represented by either crossing the thumbs or hands, signaling an 'X' shape"
(Pollard). Therefore, the numbers; six, seven, eight and nine are represented by one hand signaling a
five and the other representing the number 1 through to 4. The hand signal was used for counting by

these numbers described in the article would be written in tally sticks a Roman numerals. For
instance, "Four could be written as either IIII or IV" (Reddy). Another example, seven on a tally
stick would look like, IIIIVII, when shortened it would look like VII. These Roman numbers are the

32. Essay On The Babylonians
The Babylonian civilization existed from around 3000 BC until 539 BC. The civilization has its
roots to Mesopotamia, a plain between the Tigris River and the Euphrates River, which is now in
modern day Iraq. The Babylonians are notoriously famous in their discoveries and inventions, most
of which we still use today. The civilization–developed ideas such as astronomy, in which they
created the Saros Cycle, a cycle used to predict solar and lunar eclipses. The Babylonians were also
masters in architecture, constructing buildings like the Hanging Gardens using innovative
techniques including glass–covered bricks and adornments of gold and bronze. However, despite
many of these discoveries being forgotten or lost, their advancements in mathematics have been kept
for centuries, and have brought modern ideas of angles, quadratic equations and even knowledge
about the Pythagoras theorem, before Pythagoras himself existed.
One modern–day use of mathematics and quadratic equations, created by Babylonians, was the
collection of taxes. Mesopotamia was a very fertile land; therefore there were a high number of
farmers in the Babylonian Empire. Because of the high number of farmers, tax collectors and
mathematicians had to develop a new and more efficient way of calculating the ... Show more

34. The Impact Of Arabic Numerals In Medieval Europe
The Impact of Arabic Numerals on Medieval Europe The Islamic Golden Age introduced lots of
innovative thought into the world, and eventually those ideas made their way into Europe, one of
which was the Arabic numerals. Medieval European society was changed by the introduction of the
Arabic numerals into their society because these numbers revolutionized the way that daily tasks,
like merchant bookkeeping, and academia were approached. Medieval European understanding of
mathematics, physical sciences, and accounting was transformed by the translation of texts into
Latin, allowing Arabic numerals to become the primary numeric system and therefore easing the
burdens of daily life in academia and bookkeeping. Arabic numerals arose from the transferring of
ideas from Hindu scholarship into Islamic caliphates of the Golden Age, and from there, into
European culture. One thing from Indian culture that transcended into Islamic culture was the
concept of zero. This was something that was not considered in earlier mathematic studies. It reads
in "Math Roots: Zero: A Special Case," "the Arabs recognized the value of the Hindu system,
adapted the numerals and computation, and spread the ideas in their travels." The Arabic people saw
the power in this numbering system because there was a placeholder number. This concept was
accepted into Islamic thought; however, it was not received well in Europe. For the greater part of
the European society, it was a strange system, in comparison to

40. Examples Of Lexical Cohesion
This paper tackles how cohesion can be effective to make the text more united. Both cohesive
devices; lexical and grammatical, have a powerful role in giving the text texture. Lexical devices are
repetition, antonyms, synonyms, and general words. On the other hand, grammatical devices are
reference, conjunction, and ellipsis. Both of them provide the text harmony and meaning.
Lexical Cohesion Lexical cohesion occurs when two words are semantically related to each other
such as, repetition, synonyms, antonyms, general words, and superordinate. Firstly, repetition occurs
when one word is mentioned more than one time throughout the text. To illustrate, the word "and" is
repeated about 22 times in the text , the word "her" is repeated around 15 times in paragraphs
number 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13, the morpheme "mother" is repeated 5 times in paragraphs number
1, 8, and 14, the pronoun " I" ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Secondly, conjunctions link between clauses and sentences. They signal the way the writer wants the
reader to relate the sentence to what have been said or what is going to be said throughout the text.
Conjunctions have many types such as, additive, causal, adversative, and temporal. Additive
conjunctions, "also" in paragraph number 6, "or" in paragraph number 3, "and" in paragraphs
number 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, are used when the writer wants to add more information to his
idea. Causal conjunctions like, "in order to" in paragraph number 7, "so" in paragraph number 8, 9,
and 14, and "because" in paragraph number 14, are used to tell a reason or a result. Adversative
conjunctions like, "but" in paragraph 8, and "although" in paragraph number 11, are used to confirm

A significant discovery that Dr. Montessori made was the importance of offering indirect
preparation for the math materials while children were in the sensitive periods for movement and the
refinement of the senses. It is through children's work with the Exercises of Practical Life and
Sensorial materials that they first encounter and experience the concepts of measurement, sequence,
exactness, and calculation Sensorial education is the basis of mathematics. Dr. Montessori said that
children are sensorial learners. They learn and experience the world through their five senses. So
sensorial education helps the child to create a mental order of the concepts he grasps using his five
senses. "The skill of man's hand is bound up with the development of his mind, and in the light of
history we see it connected with the development of civilization." – Maria Montessori, THE

restricted to only using the numbers 0,1,2. Now we are going to start by adding 2 and 2 together
which makes four, but you can't write down four so we must now subtract 3 so that it can give us a
number to work with, and we are also subtracting 3 because it's the base we are working with. Then,
you must carry the 1 and write down a 1 down at the bottom too. Secondly, we are going to now add
the middle column, which is 1 and 2 also don't forget to add the 1 that we carried earlier.Four would
be the answer but we can't write down 4 so as previously done before we have to subtract 3 and
carry a 1 and also write down 1 at the bottom of the problem because that is the answer. Finally we
move to the last column which is 2 plus 1 and the other 1 we previously carried. The answer to this
is four again so you just repeat the step we took earlier. Since we carried the one from the left over

50. Persuasive Essay On Women Pay
If,for the same work,women make only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes, why don't business
hire only women? Wages are the biggest expense for most. So, hiring only women would reduce
costs by nearly a quarter and that would go right to the bottom line. Don't business want to be
profitable. Or, are they just really bad at math? Well,actually,it's the feminists,celebrities and
politicians spreading this wage gap myth who have the math problem. Here's why. The 77–cents–
on–the–dollar statistic is calculated by dividing the median earnings of all women working full–time
by the median earnings of all men working full–time. In other words, if the average income of all
men is, say, 40,000 dollars a year, and the average of women is say 30,800 dollars, that would mean
that women earn 77 cents for every dollar a man earns . These calculations do not reveal a gender
wage injustice because it doesn't take it into account occupation,position, education or hours worked
per week. Even a study by the American Association of University Women, a feminist organization,
shows that the actual wage gap shrinks to only 6.6 cents when you factor in differents choices men
and women take. And the key word here is "choice". The small wage gap that does exist has nothing
to do with paying women less, let alone with sexism ; it has to do with differences in career choices
that men and women make. In 2009, the US Department of Labor released a paper that examined

the way for people everywhere. Of these early cultures, one of the most remarkable was
undoubtedly the Mayans. The Mayans lived in Mesoamerica, around Southern Mexico, Guatemala,
Honduras and Belize. They were an isolated group of people that thrived on farming and raised
crops such as Maize, Beans, and Chili Peppers. They also Fished often and hunted Deer and other
woodland creatures. The culture of the Mayans gradually uplifted, and the peak of their civilization
appeared during the Classic Age of 250 to 900 CE. During this time, The Mayans created an
abundance of art and amazing architecture that still inspire the architects of today. This civilization
was on the road to greatness, but this greatness came to an end quickly. The Mayan city–states were
in a constant feud and violence was constantly raging. Because of this, The Maya never became a

tubes, etc...A manipulative can be taught either concrete (hands–on) or virtual. Hands–on
manipulative models are physical objects such as base–ten blocks, deck of cards, Dice games, and
Algebra tiles. A virtual manipulative is a technology that models the existing manipulatives such as
base ten blocks, rulers, fractions bars and algebra tiles to name a few. These manipulatives are in the
form of Java or Flash applets, a web base technology. Normal playing cards have so many uses in
teaching mathematical lessons. When teaching your students how to add, subtract, sort, compute or
compare numbers, using a deck of cards gets the students working with numbers while playing a
game. There are two advantages of using a deck of cards as a hands–on manipulative: First
advantage; cards are inexpensive, can be easily put away. Second advantage; the cards can be used
as independent practice or cooperative learning. During cooperative learning the students become
involved & they are able to practice the edification adeptness such as multiplication games,

The Babylonians used pre–calculated tables to assist with arithmetic. Perhaps the most amazing
aspect of the Babylonian's calculating skills was their construction of tables to aid calculation. Two
tablets found at Senkerah on the Euphrates in 1854 date from 2000 BC. They give squares of the
numbers up to 59 and cubes of the numbers up to 32. Most frequently Babylonians utilized tables of
squares and cubes to simplify multiplication. The concept of reciprocals was also first introduced by
the Babylonians. Because they did not have a method for long division, they were able to recognize
that using their sexiagesimal system of numbers, numbers with two, three, and five, had finite
factors of which tables have been found. For numbers not containing one of the finite factors, the
Babylonians used approximation reciprocals. The pre–calculated tables method is also how the
Babylonians incorporated algebra in their number system. They were the first people to use the
quadratic equation, though not in its exact form. They used the form x2+bx=c which, when solved,
can be interpreted as x=–b/2–√(b/2)+c which more closely resembles the modern quadratic
equation. Using their arithmetic tables of squares, the Babylonians were able to interpret them in
reverse to find square roots. Because everything was a real problem, they always used the positive

teacher tells them to go to the carpet for calendar time and that gets them on task. They count the
number of days they have been in school out–loud. They also count the days with straws and put
them in a ones, tens, or hundreds pocket. The students also keep record of the number of days they
have been in school with change. They count out change to the number of days they have been in
school. They say how much each coin is worth and who is on it. Lastly, they add a gumball to their
jar of gumballs and say how many they have in total. This is a normal everyday morning routine that
involves math. TMPs 3 and 6 are used for this routine and SMPs 4, 6, and 8 are used during this
time. This activity takes around thirty minutes everyday. I think doing this everyday has really
benefited the students. A student found a dime outside and he brought it to me. He knew it was a
dime, how much it was worth, and even the president that is on the dime SMP 6. I observed a forty–
five minute second grade lesson using the Invagations program. The lesson was called how many
stickers how much money (cents). The lesson began with the students coming to the carpet and

66. The Impact Of Arabic Numerals In Medieval Europe
Impact of Arabic Numerals on Medieval Europe Medieval European society was changed by the
introduction of the Arabic numerals into their society. The Islamic Golden Age introduced lots of
innovative thought into the world, and eventually those ideas made their way into Europe, one of
which was the Arabic numerals. They revolutionized the way that daily tasks, like merchant
bookkeeping, and academia were approached. Medieval Europe was transformed by the Islamic
Golden Age and that is highlighted through the transformation Arabic numerals had on society.
Preceding the Islamic Golden Age, Indian culture had a revolution of thought which was seen in the
Islamic Empire. One thing from Indian culture that transcended into Islamic culture was the concept
of zero. This was something that was not considered in earlier mathematic studies. It read in "Math
Roots: Zero: A Special Case," "the Arabs recognized the value of the Hindu system, adapted the
numerals and computation, and spread the ideas in their travels." The Arabic people saw the power
in this numbering system because there was a place holder number. This concept was accepted into
Islamic thought; however, it was not received well in Europe. For the greater part of the European
society, it was a strange system, in comparison to the Roman numeral system, and was not widely
accepted. At the beginning of Arabic numeral introduction into European society, scholars and
mathematicians were primarily the only ones who accepted

68. The History of Zero: Indian and Mayan Cultures
Zero is usually recognized today as being originated in two geographically separated cultures: the
Maya and Indian. If zero was a place–holder symbol, then such a zero was present in the Babylonian
positional number system before the first recorded occurrence of the Indian zero. If zero was
represented by an empty space within a well–defined positional number system, such a zero was
present in Chinese mathematics a few centuries before the beginning of the Common Era. The
absence of a symbol for zero in China did not prevent it from being an efficient computational tool
that could handle solution of higher degree order equations involving fractions.
However, the Indian zero was a symbol, a number, a magnitude, a direction separator and a place–
holder, all in one operating within a fully established positional numeration system. Such a zero
occurred only twice in history – the Indian zero which is now the universal zero and the Mayan zero
which occurred in solitary isolation in Central America at the beginning of the Common Era. To
understand the first appearances of the Indian and Mayan zeroes, it is necessary to examine them
both within the social contexts in which both of these inventions occurred. Because of the popular
difficulties with the zero, there has occurred over time a series of avoidance mechanisms to cope
with the presence of zero. The word zero comes from the Arabic meaning void or empty which
became later the term for zero. The ancient Egyptians never

73. The Things They Carried By Tim O ' Brien
Memories and stories swarming the mind and twisted by imagination are the only glimpse of
humanity a man can hold on to while at war. Through stories, men at war can share their thinning
humanity with one another. The deafening silence of war defeats the human spirit and moral
compass, thus it is not only man against man but man against sanity. Tim O 'Brien 's "The Things
They Carried" provides a narrative of soldiers in the Vietnam War holding on to the only parts of
themselves through their imagination. O'Brien employs symbolic tokens, heavy characterization,
and the grueling conflict of man to illustrate how soldiers create metaphorical stories to ease the
burden of war.
Each man carries with him at least one token that represents his internal monologue during war.
Soldiers are called to bear unimaginable burdens, not only physically but also emotionally. O'Brien
notes, "there was at least the single abiding certainty that they would never be at a loss for things to
carry" (1023). The items represented much more than a lucky token as they personify themselves as
a character in a play. Each man's item represents a different tragedy of war. From Dave Jensen 's
toothpaste and assorted hygienic supplies to Ted Lavender's tranquilizers and high quantities of
dope; these items represent each man's ideal paradise. Formed by their imagination, the tokens help
them play in the desolate setting of war. Rat Kiley's paradise is in the form of comic relief in his

75. Why Do Lincoln Use Significant Figures
Any good chemist would understand that when Abraham Lincoln said "four score and seven years
ago" he was actually using significant figures. The Declaration of Independence was signed on July
4th while Lincoln delivered this speech on November 19th. This means that it actually occurred four
score, seven years, four months, and 12 days before. Admittedly that does not roll off the tongue as
smoothly, so it's understandable that Lincoln would only use two significant figures. Significant
figures are the reason that the beginning lines of the Gettysburg address will forever be remembered
by Eighth graders across the country. Without the use of significant figures, numbers in chemistry
wouldn't have any meaning. I could say 2g when I'm really ... Show more content on

If you are given a measurement of 4g and a measurement of 4.0001g, you would understand that the
equipment used to measure 4.0001g is much more precise than the equipment used to measure 4g.
Although significant figures tell us about the precision of the measurement, we really cannot attest
to the accuracy of the measurement unless we are sure of the correct answer. The same rule about
the estimated digit is applied when taking measurement. The way to report an analog measurement
is to write down all the digits you are "confident" in and estimate one digit further. For example, if
using a 10ml graduated cylinder with nine markings in between the numbers 1ml and 2ml and the
liquid falls between 1.5ml and 1.6ml, but closer to 1.5ml, the digits you are confident in are 1 and 5.
Therefore you estimate another digit which you think it could be such as 1.53ml. When making a
digital measurement, the rule is to always write down every digit while understanding that the last
digit is an estimation. There are also a few important differences between the course policy and the
textbook. One is that the book states that if you place a $#$#0$#$# to the right of trailing zeroes, it
would make those zeroes significant e.g. 500. has 3 significant figures while 500 has 1. This is not
true and they should be ashamed. Another difference is in the convention of marking significant
figures. In this course, Professor Halpin will underline all significant figures to identify them. It just
makes it easier to get the correct answer while rounding to the correct number of significant figures.
