Significant Decimal

Famous quotes containing the words significant and/or decimal:

“The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

“It makes little sense to spend a month teaching decimal fractions to fourth-grade pupils when they can be taught in a week, and better understood and retained, by sixth-grade students. Child-centeredness does not mean lack of rigor or standards; it does mean finding the best match between curricula and children’s developing interests and abilities.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
