HELP WITH ELEMENTARY MATH PART 4(BE SOMEWHAT GOOD AT MATH)?

a machine has 3 parts, if any one of them fails, the machine fails. suppose that the probability of failure during a certain period of time is 0.1. for the first part, 0.2 for the second part, and 0.01 for the third part. find the three significant digits the probability that the machine will fail during this period?

P(any one of the 3 parts fails)=
1-P(no one of the 3 parts fails)=
1-(1-0.1)(1-0.2)(1-0.01)=
1-0.9*0.8*0.99=0.7128=0.2872=28.72%

Where's the Wonder in Elementary Math? $32.95 This book argues that even in today''s high-stakes testing environment, ''teaching to the test'' need not be teachers'' only focus as they introduce young children to mathematics. Judith McVarish demonstrates how building a community of learners and using problem solving to engage students can help teachers encourage students'' disposition to creative thinking and reasoning-skills that can otherwise become lost due to the pressure of the many other expectations placed upon both teachers and students. This book offers strategies for infusing mathematics learning and reasoning into elementary school classrooms while meeting curriculum and testing mandates. The teacher researcher component of each chapter provides a vehicle for teachers to bring their own expertise and questions back into the teaching and learning equation.

Connecting Math for Elementary Teachers $32.98 This book provides general descriptions of children’s learning and is intended to help show how children approach mathematics differently than adults. By connecting children’s thinking to our own learning, we hope that this book will improve understanding of both mathematics and children’s thinking, thereby enhancing the teaching of mathematics to children. The more you understand mathematics and how children think about mathematics, the better teacher you will be! Each chapter section contains insights and examples of how children come to understand mathematics. Many of the descriptions of how children learn are based on research, but some are based on the authors’ personal experiences with helping children learn mathematics. As appropriate, the authors also include information on the “why” behind certain mathematical topics, how to incorporate manipulatives into the classroom, and some activities to try. Each section also has “Questions for Discussion” to encourage reflection while learning. At the end of each section are “Problems and Exercises” that are specifically designed to help show how children learn mathematics. The material is presented by topic, following the standard topics covered in a traditional mathematics for future elementary or middle school teacher’s course.
