Swing Sets uses childrens' natural ability to classify objects to introduce the concept of a set and membership in a set. Sets are fundamental to modern mathematics. Every principle of number theory, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus is defined in terms of sets. An early understanding of the principles, language and notation of sets will prepare a child to absorb higher math concepts quickly and thoroughly. A definition of a set is "a collection of objects where it is known if any particular object is a member of the set." A 'collection' is any grouping. An 'object' can…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Swing Sets uses childrens' natural ability to classify objects to introduce the concept of a set and membership in a set. Sets are fundamental to modern mathematics. Every principle of number theory, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus is defined in terms of sets. An early understanding of the principles, language and notation of sets will prepare a child to absorb higher math concepts quickly and thoroughly. A definition of a set is "a collection of objects where it is known if any particular object is a member of the set." A 'collection' is any grouping. An 'object' can be anything; a toy, a number, or even another set. 'Membership' is a critical concept here. To form a set, one must be able to tell exactly what is in the set and what is not in the set. Each set must be clearly defined. This book starts with a definition for the types of objects that can be included in a set and a definition for each set."A swing set is a group of swings that hang from the same pole. A swing is something that swings back and forth that kids can ride on." This definition is emphasized throughout the book. As you discuss this book with your child, emphasize the definitions given and whether objects not found in the book meets the definitions. Swing Sets teaches the child how to form a math statement such as f is an element of B from a situation involving sets. This book also teaches the child how to translate a math statement expressing membership in a set into words.
Autorenporträt
David E. McAdams je pripovjedä, edukator i doivotni istraivä ideja. S karijerom koja traje desetlje¿ima u oblasti matemati¿kog obrazovanja i dubokom ljubavlju prema pisanju, David je autor irokog spektra knjiga koje spajaju u¿enje s matom. Njegov rad obuhvata sve, od razigranih zbirki zagonetki za malu djecu do detaljnih istraivanja matemati¿kih konstanti, vodi¿a za matemati¿ki rje¿nik i interaktivnih obrazovnih materijala - sve s ciljem otvaranja vrata otkri¿ima. Davidovo putovanje zapöelo je u u¿ionici, gdje je predavao matematiku u srednjoj koli i otkrio istinu koja ¿e voditi njegov rad do kraja: djeca najbolje u¿e kada su angaovana, radoznala i kada im je zabavno. S vremenom je primijetio klju¿ni nedostatak u matemati¿kom obrazovanju - u¿enici nisu imali problema samo s pojmovima, ve¿ i s jezikom same matematike. To saznanje ga je navelo da stvori All Math Words Dictionary, sveobuhvatan i djeci prilagöen resurs za jäanje matemati¿kog rje¿nika i poboljanje razumijevanja. Ali David tu nije stao. Pöeo je pisati knjige inspirisane matematikom za mlade ¿itatelje - knjige koje istovremeno pou¿avaju i oduevljavaju. U knjizi One Penny, Two, ¿arobna pri¿a o udvostru¿avanju nov¿i¿a se razvija s duhovito¿u i armom. U ta je ve¿e od svega? djeca se upoznaju s misaono izazovnim pojmom beskonänosti. Njegove knjige Moji omiljeni fraktali i Projekti geometrijskih mrea pozivaju djecu da istrauju uzorke, brojeve i geometriju na opipljiv i radostan näin. Davidove knjige su ¿esto razigrane, poeti¿ne i proete stvarnim svijetom ¿uda: dinosauri, bajke, svemir, pliane ivotinje, skriväi, pa ¿ak i ljuljäke. Svaka pri¿a ili zagonetka osmiljena je ne samo da podu¿ava, ve¿ i da probudi matu. Njegovi najnoviji projekti uklju¿uju zbirku stotina matemati¿kih zagonetki za estogodinjake i seriju tematskih knjiga koje spajaju matematiku sa svime to djeca vole: sladolednim kornetima, lovom na blago, mäioni¿arskim trikovima i jo mnogo toga. Njegova djela su prevedena na nekoliko jezika, uklju¿uju¿i bengalski, ¿ine¿i njegov radostan pristup u¿enju dostupnim jo ve¿em broju djece irom svijeta. Bilo da broji zvijezde ili istrauje znamenke broja Pi, David svakom stranici pristupa s dubokom panjom i znatieljom. Sada u penziji, David uiva u vrtlarstvu i kreativnoj radosti pisanja. Nastavlja pisati svakodnevno, stalno smiljaju¿i nove näine da pomogne djeci da uöe ljepotu matematike, mö jezika i ¿aroliju pitanja: "ta ako?"
