Teaching secondary mathematics

...techniques, and students are expected to learn them separately. However, these ideas are essentially all the same. There is a ‘sameness’ about percentages, fractions, proportions – and helping learners connect ideas and know that they represent different ways of, essentially, seeing the same thing is important to building fluency with ideas in mathematics and not...

The database development life cycle

...techniques. Before we consider the development method in more detail let's discuss why we need to take a formal approach to database development. After all, it is quite simple to use structured query language (SQL) CREATE TABLE statements to define tables, or to use the facilities of a database tool to define them for you. Once developed, the tables can be manipulated and...

Exploring evidence-based policing

...techniques and interventions has become more prevalent. This course examines the basic elements of evidence-based policing and gives insight into how more evidence-based approaches can inform better policing practice. After completing this course, you will be able to: understand more effective evidence-based approaches to decision making considered ways in which...

Conversations and interviews

...techniques and, indeed, some books on research methods appear to aim for that goal. In a practice-centred inquiry, however, perfect interview technique is less important than getting timely and relevant information. So, for example, waiting a week for the perfect context for a formal interview with a senior colleague might well mean that important and urgent action is...

Introduction to finite element analysis

...Techniques have been developed to take advantage of these features to store and solve the equations efficiently without going through an ‘inversion’ process. Remember that we are generally solving for the nodal displacement values first; it is then a simple matter (using a computer package) to use the displacements to find the strains and then the elemental stresses,...
