2. Mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

   Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, [1] algebra, [2] geometry, [1] and analysis, [3 ...

3. Calculus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus

   In mathematics education, calculus denotes courses of elementary mathematical analysis, which are mainly devoted to the study of functions and limits. The word calculus is Latin for "small pebble" (the diminutive of calx, meaning "stone"), a meaning which still persists in medicine. Because such pebbles were used for counting out distances, [5 ...

4. Multiplication table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_table

   Multiplication table from 1 to 10 drawn to scale with the upper-right half labeled with prime factorisations. In mathematics, a multiplication table (sometimes, less formally, a times table) is a mathematical table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system. The decimal multiplication table was traditionally taught as an ...

5. Addition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

   Addition (usually signified by the plus symbol +) is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic, the other three being subtraction, multiplication and division. [2] The addition of two whole numbers results in the total amount or sum of those values combined. The example in the adjacent image shows two columns of three apples and two apples ...

6. Subtraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction

   Subtraction is an operation that represents removal of objects from a collection. [1] For example, in the adjacent picture, there are 5 − 2 peaches—meaning 5 peaches with 2 taken away, resulting in a total of 3 peaches. Therefore, the difference of 5 and 2 is 3; that is, 5 − 2 = 3.

7. Mathematics education - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_education

   Discovery math: a constructivist method of teaching ( discovery learning) mathematics which centres around problem-based or inquiry-based learning, with the use of open-ended questions and manipulative tools. [23] This type of mathematics education was implemented in various parts of Canada beginning in 2005. [24]
