Description
Have you ever wondered why we do certain things in mathematics?
For instance, you may have once asked, "Why do we invert and multiply when dividing by fractions?" Or, "Why is a negative number times a positive number equal to a negative number?"
It is only natural to want answers to these and many other questions regarding procedures of mathematical steps, but often we fall upon a stumbling block with answers such as, "That is just the way we do it," or "That's how I learned it."
This book will unravel the often times "mysterious" questions surrounding mathematics and will be a stepping stone in the transition to the Common Core State Standards of Mathematics.
