Transcript: The End The windows show hemispheres, the cylinders are the on the sides of the buildings, and the cones are on top of the cylinders. Graph paper has 4-fold rotational symmetry A pictorial representation of a linear pair that is NOT in a textbook 3 Undefined Terms in Geometry A familiar object that has 4-fold rotational symmetry A Unique Creation that Explains the Definition of Collinear The ice-cream scooper acts as a hemisphere. Collinear- points that are on the same line. The nails are both evenly on the white shelf, which makes them collinear. An object from the physical education department has rotational symmetry but not reflectional symmetry A linear pair- Two angles that have the sum of 180 degrees. Three things that I saw that can called geometric: The checkers board could be called a graph. The gazebo could be called a geometric shape. The walkway could be called parallel lines. The cones placed together show rotation symmerty but not reflectional symmetry. Objects From Home Objects From Books, Magazines, Newspapers, or Internet An Illustration of Adjacent Angles Newtons balls use geometry by using the placement wire that holds the spheres up as collinear points. A Cooking Utensil that has a Hemisphere A signed explanation from a non-mathematics teacher how she/he has used mathematics Adjacent angles- Angles that share a side. The cans of soup act as cylinders. The windows act as the quadrilaterals. A mechanic uses deductive reasoning once a day to figure out where a problem is in a car when he makes a repair A 2D Object that has Rotational Symmetry but not Reflectional Symmetry A building whose design includes unique types of quadrilaterals Objects From School Color photo showing a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, and a circle A sketch or photo whose design includes a cylinder, a hemisphere, and a cone A job description of someone who uses deductive reasoning and how frequently that particular type of reasoning is necessary in that job An example of vertical angles Vertical angles- Angles that are across from each other A brochure from an art museum And advertisement showing a cylinder A tool or device from the science department that uses geometry A Pair of Octahedral Dice How Mrs. Bottoms uses mathematics The picture frame has rotational symmetry but not reflectional symmetry.

Geography of Malawi CCST 9004 Appropriate Technology for the Developing World Indicator 3: Literacy Rate of 15 – 24 year-olds According to the World Bank, microfinance is defined as: Microfinance is the provision of financial services to the entrepreneurial poor.This definition has two important features:it emphasizes a range of financial services—not just credit— and it emphasizes the entrepreneurial poor. Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education Appropriate Technology: SIRDAMAIZE 113 Population: 16,777,547 (estimated in July 2013) Population growth rate: 2.758% (2012 est.) (World ranking: 18) Age structure Children: 50% of total population HIV/AIDS Human Resources Education Poverty Food Insecurity Erratic Rainfall Patterns/Droughts Corruption Lack of Foreign Investment Languages Indicator 5: Proportion of seats held by women in National Parliaments Central Region: 1-9 (Yellow) *Capital: Lilongwe Northern Region: 10-15 (Red) Southern Region: 16-27 (Green) Lake Malawi (Blue) Land surface area 45,747 square miles Challenges: · shortage of qualified primary school teachers; · inadequate physical infrastructure; · poor retention of girls mainly from standard five to eight; · high disease burden due to HIV and AIDS consequently leadinto absenteeism, especially among girls who take care of the sick · Poverty levels are high in rural areas. Malawi – Climate/Agriculture Trading partners: South Africa, Zambia, China, US Challenges: · shortage of qualified primary school teachers; · inadequate physical infrastructure; · poor retention of girls mainly from standard five to eight; · high disease burden due to HIV and AIDS consequently leading to absenteeism especially among girls who take care of the sick; and · poor participation of school committees and their communities in school management. · Poverty levels are high in rural areas. 1 Doctor per 50,000 people Hinders the ability to deliver medical services to people in need Reason: Emigration Lack of access to education Aggravated by AIDS > 4 nurses are lost each month This also affects other sectors: Government Business Farmers Human Resources HIV/AIDS - Contemporary GDP: US $14.58 billion (2012 est.) (World ranking: 142) Labor force: agriculture: 90%; industry and services: 10% (2003 est.) Countries main income Agriculture Main crops: maize, tobacco, tea, sugar cane, groundnuts, cotton, wheat, coffee, and rice Industry: tobacco, tea, sugar, sawmill products, cement, consumer goods Challenges: limited capacity in terms of human and material resources to facilitate adult literacy and continuing education; early marriages perpetuated by socioeconomic factors; socio–cultural factors that make people believe that men should be leaders while women are followers; and, poor learning environment which affects girls in primary and secondary schools e.g. sanitary facilities, long distances to education facilities, extra burden from domestic chores especially for adolescent girls resulting into high dropout rate. 1964: Independent from Britain Indicator 1: Maternal Mortality Ratio Malawi Demographics Problems - Outline Indicator 4: Share of Women in Wage Employment in the Non- Agriculture Sector measure of employment opportunities ( i.e equal proportions of men and women in formal employment) Yet, more women participate in the agriculture sector than in the formal wage employment especially in jobs that require professional qualifications. Due to: literacy levels, gender disparity and cultural values. Facts About the Product: Drought tolerant maize variant Able to mature under limited rainfall Suitable for marginal rainfall areas 136 days to mature Normally: 150 – 180 days Able to mature under limited rainfall Suitable for marginal rainfall areas
