Manipulative mathematics worksheets

manipulative math icon Manipulative Mathematics worksheets are activities through which students develop conceptual understanding of arithmetic and algebraic concepts and procedures. Manipulatives are used to give students concrete models of abstract concepts. These activities are referenced where students tend to have little understanding of mathematical concepts and often rely on poorly memorized procedures.

links to literacy icon With Links to Literacy, students are given the opportunity to read primary-grade-level math-themed children’s literature whose content supports the topics in Prealgebra . Each assignment asks the student to read a book and answer several questions, progressing from re-telling the story to applying the concept to their own lives. The Links to Literacy assignments give our students alternate simple explanations for basic algebraic concepts and show how they apply to common life situations. They fill in the holes in some students’ math backgrounds. They provide evidence students that the basic concepts of algebra are understandable to everyone. They also help students who are not native speakers of English develop fluency with written English and with mathematical vocabulary.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
