Riassunto

The series was designed to present the learning of mathematics in an engaging and interesting format by drawing on real life situations and applications. In addition to standard paper and pencil math problems, students present oral reports, produce charts and graphs, create simulations, and write summaries to explain how they reached their conclusions. Mathematics: Modeling Our World demonstrates to students that mathematics is the most useful subject they will learn.
