Is it correct to introduce invariantology at school level?

The use of invariants to study and understand the world around us is the heart of education! We are biologically determined to have set "templates" in our minds which we use to define objects and ideas, and we then meld, use and make minor modifications to the templates in order to define everything else. Read Pascal Blaise.\n\nInvariantology itself, however, which you yourself define on your webpage (and interesting use of Yahoo! Answers for advertising, btw) as "investigating invariants", is probably best left to university level, or at least advanced secondary school. Younger children instinctively use invariants, as we are neurologically constructed that way, but would have difficulty with the articulation in the way you use it.\n\nAlso, I think there are problems with definition. It's all well and good to say that to experiment on music, all you have to do is "vary the music by aesthetic factors." But look at that for more than a moment, and you are left with significant difficulties in defining, rating, varying, and even agreeing on "aesthetic factors." Is John Cage really more appealing than Debussy? Is Bach more or less "aesthetic" than Schoenberg or Holly Cole?

try talking to the teacher and see if they will prvide you with the appropriate material or at least point you in the right direction.

The pre-school that I was fortunate enough to have been a part of in Minneapolis, MN did.\n\nThe Lead Teacher and myself (Assistant Teacher), took the time to make sure our children practiced etiquette/ethics frequently.  You would be surprised how impressionable and teachable children are on these two subjects at this age.\n\nIt worked excellent!!

My teacher had a great way of doing this. Tell your students to collect various household items and a few bags. Make sure each kid picks out two specific objects. When everyone returns, teach union and intersect using the kids' "sets".

Well, I think it's not interactive enough at all. It's very textbook oriented. There is not enough hands-on action for a student to really understand a concept through and through. It provides a good base, but not enough useful information or experience. I think Math is handled very well. Sciences and second languages are handled in an average manner. The teaching of English and Social Studies is lousy although the curriculum isn't that bad.

I have written a math book that explains math in plain English.  It is called Mauk Math.  I teach math and I could not find any math book that I liked so I decided to write my own.  Math does NOT have to be difficult.  It CAM be explained in simple terms and it CAN be easy and even FUN.  I use music to learn certain concepts and help retain it.  I use songs to help break it down and make it easier.  For instance, when I teach how to make negative exponents positive I use Will Smith's song, SWITCH. We play the song in class and sing it.  Because that's how you make a negative exponent positive.... you switch it !  If it is on the top of a fraction... you switch it to the bottom.  If it is on the bottom...you switch it to the top...EASY!  In typical math books, they make it difficult by explaining it like this: a number taken to the -nth power in the denominator can be make positive by rewriting the fraction with the denominator as the numerator taken to the nth power.  Ridiculous...especially for the struggling student.  MAUK MATH uses M.C. Hammer's Hammertime to teach the order of operations.  You always do everything in parentheses first.  If something is outside the parentheses....CAN'T TOUCH THAT na na na na. break it down.  Math can be easy and fun with the right book.... my book.  LOL

Thorough knowledge is an added advantage but if a teacher is not sincere for his work or not dedicated to his proffession then he's not worthed. a teacher should always be approachable for kids.

I am taking that class now in college and I believe that some of the concepts are beyond what some teachers are capable of teaching. It takes my professor a while to explain it to people in three diffrent ways. I though have had some courses in high school that connect with the subject. So some hhigh schools are teaching parts but not all of it.

awwww.....that was a really good thing you did! I actually helped teach one of my classmates a lesson when he wasnt understanding it from the teacher......he understood after I taught him.\n\n\n=) Have A Great Day! (=

Try the bitesize website. Which is a UK school revision site. But math is the same the world over so that should not matter

I think you should go to like teaching tools or a place that has something to do with teaching or something like that.Good luck.

I know of one children's method book using Chisenbop finger math that proposes onedy-one thru onedy-nine for children learning the numbers.  There are fewer exceptions to the overall pattern that way, but realisticly, one must learn the exceptions eventually as all childs do as they learn the language.

No. I've been out of school for many years.  \n\nHowever, to the people who are using this for homework: I caution all to check the answers & references to ensure that it's correct.  Reliable sources are needed.  While I'm answering correctly, there's no guarantee everyone is doing this.

I think that you should keep your textbooks for future reference.  Because of the subject ( math, engineering) they won't become outdated over time.  They'll also be as relevant now as 15-20 years from now in teaching calculus to your children.

go back to your introductory paragraph. You should be rephrasing the introduction to tie it all together.
