I was recently reading the May/June 2024 issue of “Science & Children” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.
In this issue, I read the “Science 101” section written by Matt Bobrowsky. He wrote an article entitled, “What Activity Can I Use to Illustrate the Importance of Math in Science?”
Matt summarized 7 ways in which math is not only useful but essential in science:
1. Being Clear and Precise
2. Measuring
3. Modeling and Simulation
4. Problem-Solving
5. Discovery of Patterns and Relationships
6. Verification of Results
7. Predictive Power
