ABSTRACT
Teaching Mathematics Using Interactive Mapping is an innovative eBook in which readers work interactively with mapping activities, custom-designed for this book by Joseph Kerski, on the Esri server using ArcGIS Online, to understand and to master topics in mathematics which might have proven to be stumbling blocks to them in the past. Direct links, to that server, and to other sites of interest, are provided throughout this book; QR codes provided in a separate section at the end of the book provide a secondary route to major activities. Thus, mathematics tools and concepts work interactively with mapping activities.
Chapter 3 is entitled “Simple Relational Measures and Measures of Central Tendency.”
The mathematics tools and concepts in this chapter are as follows: simple relational measures (ratio, proportion, percent, etc.), math word/story problems, measures of central tendency, variation, goodness of fit and statistical significance, relational measures in sculpture.
The major mapping activities designed to interact with the mathematics in this chapter include: Florida land cover, San Diego urban litter, San Diego donut map, UK poverty map, zebra mussels, global population (vector and raster visualization), Colorado, Lincoln NB crime analysis, Florida traffic accidents.
