5). Flexible Estimation in Math By : Peter Waycik
Adults use rounding and estimation in their everyday lives. They approximate the temperature, the cost of items, the time, and even their age. Consider this conversation: "How much did it cost to fix your car?" "Six hundred bucks!" Without any words such as: about, approximately, around, roughly, or nearly, it can be assumed that the second person rounded the actual cost.

Calculators have shrunk in size and increased in price as consumers have sought out devices that do much more than simple arithmetic. Texas Instruments has their TI-83 Plus model which helps students with their Physics, Biology, Algebra, and Pre-Calculus classes. We'll examine why this model is so popular with today's classroom students. Back in the 1970s, the slide rule gave way to calculators in many classrooms across the nation.

9). The Invisible Ether and Michelson Morley By : Mike Strauss
The concept of the invisible ether or 'aether' is an old concept dating to the time of the ancient Greeks. They considered the ether as that medium which permeated all of the universe and even believed the ether to be another element. Along with Earth, Wind, Fire and Water Aristotle proposed that the ether should be treated as the fifth element or quintessence; this term which literally means 'fifth element' has even survived down to the present day to explain an exotic form of 'dark energy' which is crucial in some cosmological models.

10). Thinking Outside the Books - Homeschool Math Lab Days By : Cindy Prechtel
At a recent homeschool convention, I had the opportunity to speak to many moms about ways to think "Outside the Books", when it comes to our homeschooling. I wasn't advocating never using textbooks or changing programs, but rather, helping them see that there are many ways to "show what you know". It is also important for us to help our children see that real learning happens all the time, not just when they are filling out worksheets or sitting at our school table.

It may not sound like a difficult task, but constructing hexagons and other polygons can be a frustrating and daunting task for children and adults. A sketch of a square is fairly simple to make as the corners are familiar right angles that most people have no trouble creating. Every other regular polygon from equilateral triangles to dodecagons and beyond can be a challenge without a highly developed ability to recognize and construct a variety of angles.

20). Galactic Mystery - Matter - On the Dark Side By : Mike Strauss
Heralding a new age in the cosmos, Norwegian Kristian Birkeland predicted that the universe likely consisted of an exotic component that would later be called dark matter. His comments about this subject matter appeared in a description of the Norwegian Aurora Polaris Expedition (1902-1903). Birkeland's ideas about the Expedition were published in the fateful year of 1913 which would see the rise of the socialist Federal Reserve System and the Income Tax in the United States of America, two key components of the communist manifesto.

21). Big Bang Booming - Back To The Future By : Michael Strauss
Theoretical cosmologists spend much of their time perfecting what is now known as the 'Big Bang' theory. This concept originates from ideas percolating in the minds of scientists, theologians and astronomers down through the ages. However, much of what they consider as proof for the 'Big Bang' is dependent upon uncontrolled experimentation that is molded to meet their expectations.

24). Adding From Left to Right -- A Better Way to Add By : Peter Waycik
More than likely, when you learned how to add, you started on the right and moved to the left. If you were adding whole numbers, you added the ones, "carried" if necessary, and repeated for the tens, hundreds and so on. This works well on paper, and it is the most efficient paper and pencil method; however, adding in the other direction has several.

25). "WE DON'T know what we are talking about" - Nobel Laureate David Gross By : Mike Strauss
Last December ('05), physicists held the 23rd Solvay Conference in Brussels, Belgium. Amongst the many topics covered in the conference was the subject matter of string theory. This theory combines the apparently irreconcilable domains of quantum physics and relativity. David Gross a Nobel Laureate made some startling statements about the state of physics including: "We don't know what we are talking about" whilst referring to string theory as well as “The state of physics today is like it was when we were mystified by radioactivity.
