If you’ve followed www.notAprodigy.com, you may or may not have noticed that we’ve been doing a little bit of expansion over the past couple of months.
We’re going to start releasing some of our favorite links as resources towards topics and their use in the real world. If you have any great links please send them our way with a brief description of the topics and how the site has been useful to you or anyone you know!
In other terms, we have the following sub-topics and hope that you may find something interesting among our links.
- Share how you use math topics in your life/career.
We are collecting practical/hands-on use for the following 10 topics, spread out across Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Calculus, Statistics, and miscellaneous math.
1) Quadratic equations
2) Linear inequalities
3) Shape volume
4) Trapezoids
5) Correlations/Causation
6) ANOVA
7) Derivatives
8) Integration
9) The number pi
10) Prime numbers
- Think you don't need that topic in the real world?
We are also trying to collect any suggestions for commonly misunderstood topics. If you are a student have you encountered a topic you can’t imagine you’d ever need to know in real life? If you are a teacher, are there topics your students consistently ask “why do I need this?”
We JUST started a new section linking some of the websites for these topics, starting with Algebra I. If you have any suggestions for websites that connect these, or other topics, to the “real world” please send the along!
- Do you use and love math?
We’ve already collected a couple of great interviews. Do you have a passion for your job and does your job/career involve using math or statistics in a regular OR creative way? If you are interested in sharing what you do with others, we are looking to obtain interviews for our company. Right now we are only interested in either written or in-person interviews. We are looking for people who can offer something interesting in their responses to engage the reader/listener.
