Math on the Interweb... Help Is Everywhere

This is a Resource Page, so that means it's a Mish-Mash of Mathematics Resources found on the Interweb.  I'm a huge supporter of Open Source and Creative Commons resources.  This is another way of saying Free, Equitable and Accessible resources...  📽️ 🎧 📰 📖 📝🛠️

I'm still working on this Unit... This will be developed and taught for the 2021-2022 school year... I hope...

Back is the awesome stuff about old stuff you already know...
Next is the awesome new lesson about stuff
  • Unit: Mathematics For Technology
    • Module: Mathematics For Technology - Resources
  • This is a LEARNING Activity : Lesson / Lab

Overview, Introduction & Prerequisites:

Whole Numbers - a number without fractions; an integer.  Whole numbers are a set of numbers including all positive integers and 0. Whole numbers are a part of real numbers that do not include fractions, decimals, or negative numbers. 

Lesson Resources:

Sid Bar for Teachers: This Module or lesson is how I teach in my class. Many of the lessons might be specific to my class, but you could probably adjust them for your class.  I'll try to make them a neutral as I can, so they can be used in any Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or any other Engineering / Technology class.  Let me know how I can make that better. I'll try to keep this unit current and relevant.  Please let me know if any resource links are broken or not accessible.  Use this email link to let me know what is broken @ TopClown@STEAMClown.org 

Sponsor Shout Out

I would like to thank Digi-Key Electronics for their generous support of my classroom and curriculum development.  Digi-Key has Kits, Lab resources and Lesson materials ready to support each of the Labs and Lessons presented here.  Each Lesson or Lab will have convenient links for all your electronic component needed to complete the hands on activities.

Prerequisites:

Caution & Safety  Considerations:

Primer:  "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"

Lesson Topic - Mathematics for Technology:

What Are Whole Numbers?

Mathematics need building blocks, & Whole Numbers are these building blocks that all more complex math is built from.

Whole Numbers - a number without fractions; an integer.  Whole numbers are a set of numbers including all positive integers and 0. Whole numbers are a part of real numbers that do not include fractions, decimals, or negative numbers. 

Humans and even other intelligent animals innately understand the concept of Whole Numbers.  We can clearly understand the concept of "How Many" when we look at these two piles of Jelly Beans.  

We may not immediately know how many beans are in the big pile, but we absolutely know that there are way more than 5.

And to find out we can easily start at 1 and then count each... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14... 93.  That's what I think... I think there are 93.

What Do You Already Know? Take This Pre-Quiz To Find Out:

Take the Pre-Quiz to get a better self assessment.  Sometimes we feel like we already know a topic, and maybe we can just do a quick review.  Other times we find we need to go a little deeper.  By taking a quick self assessment, you can measure how much effort you need to put into this section.

If you scored 79% or less, you should probably spend a 20-30 min reviewing this section. Even if you scored 100%, it can't hurt to spend 10-15 min.
