Portal talk:High school mathematics

Thanks for adding Algebra 1 In Simple English to your project! Please visit http://www.hstutorials.net/olpcmath.htm to see my plans for the student-user interface. I think the design of the student-user interface is absolutely critical to the success of this project, so my focus will be split between sheparding the textbook and working on the interface.--HSTutorials 18:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I got a question I'm not really good in mathématics, particularly in algebra... If I got X / Y = X + (-(Y-1))(X/Y) and I want to divide the equation by X. Do I divide all the three Xs, or just one on each side? I don't know because I got one X in a parenthese... FenixEden 08:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


 * We should add this as an example at Wikibooks. You could first factor "x" out of the two terms on the right side of the equation and then only have to divide by "x" twice. --JWSchmidt 13:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikibooks
There is a well-designed book, i think, on Polish Wikibooks - If there's something intresting for you, maybe we (for now, I) could try to translate it into (Simple) English.. --
 * Hello, thx for the offer. Very kind of you. But why not ask at (Simple) English Wikibooks ? Here at Wikiversity we are more interested in learning projects. Perhaps some here want to join you in the effort to translate (you could start a learning project here to translate that book and then it could be moved to Wikibooks) ?

Nation specific maths.
I'm a new user here, and I plan on creating a fairly big, lesson by lesson maths course based on A level specification maths(16-18 years). I've already drawn up drafts, and am planning to make some videos with commentary explaining some of the more difficult questions. I find that some of the terms used here are ambiguous between countries, and it would make these pages a much more friendly place for would be students to see exactly what they're looking for.

For example, if I was studying Mechanics in the UK, I wouldn't know where to go, but if there was a link saying "A level Maths", things would be much more clear.

However, I see that this has not been done already, and I wouldn't want to be seen as a new user ruining the order of things. Would any one be in favour of this?

So far, I have enough to cover the following topics: Mechanics 1, Statistics 1, Core 1, Decisions 1. --Ohara 23:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Grammatical Concerns
I was confused by this passage:

"These are the topics which are normally taught in high school. It should tend to be inclusive. Topics which only presents in some curriculum and topics that are not normally taught at high school level but in which high school student are in capacity of learning should be put under supplementary materials."

In English it doesn't really make sense. I would have corrected it, but I wasn't entirely sure what its intention was.
