Connecting Math to Our Lives Math Introductions 2001-2002   UKRAINE: Class introduction from math teacher Anna Malko and her Class 11 students (ages 15-18) from the Kiev School-11 - Ecology Centre of Youth, Ukraine. This message was sent by students: Bormotova Vika, Cherchata Luda and Hrutba Andrey Hello! It write to you Andrey, Viktoria and Ludmila. Children study in different classes (classes 10 and 11). The previous message was from class 10, this one is from class 11. Class Portrait Our class is a large example, which consists of differences of the multi members, and our sum is identified to a word "class". In our class 28 person under the list. One girl does not go in school, but 67 % - boys and 33 % - girl is = > 28-1=27, from them. All 11 years of our study it subtraction and addition, we connect all in the equations, and then in general system. In life we lose someone (we take away), with someone we get acquainted (we add) or we search for someone (make equations). Conclusion: In life is connected all among themselves: sciences, existence and we - People, which always decide something and search (as in mathematics). Our class very similar to the large matrix, each of its members has the serial number and meaning (from 1 up to 12). As well as each matrix at us has determinant (average level of knowledge of a class). Sometimes we are transported. The members of a matrix it is possible to multiply (as a rule, we after 5-that lesson we are become thicker: we drink milk), or to divide (it is the ambassador of 4-th pair...). As well as all others, our matrix has the positive and negative members (guys - "-?", girls - "+?"). Each action has opposite. You see if at one lesson we work too well, on the following - we have a rest. At a lesson of physical culture on the data of a matrix build the diagrams (build on growth). In ours organism pass very many more mathematical processes. The list of our purchases. 1.   Bread Ukrainian (Long Loaf road is another kind of bread.
