FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
Math Matters Everyday is a collaboration with Miami Dade College (MDC), Florida International University (FIU), the University of Miami (UofM), SECME Inc. (formerly the Southeastern Consortium for Minorities in Engineering), and NASA’s Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Aerospace (SEMA) Academy.
Math Matters Everyday is an Internet portal that provides math teachers with access to best practices vis-à-vis accredited online professional development, lesson plans and activities based on the leading research in how people learn, how to teach mathematics and how to integrate reading into the process.
FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY's Math Matters Everyday internet portal is structured around clusters of STEM Modules, and Literacy in Math, and is focused on math teachers in grade bands K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. The goal is to help teachers increase their competence and confidence in teaching math in a way that is both rigorous as well as relevant to students.

| Acid-Base Chemistry |
 An acid-base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base. Prepared by: Banu Sizirici |
| Areas |
Area is a quantity expressing the two-dimensional size of a defined part of a surface, typically a region bounded by a closed curve. Prepared by: Ginu George |
| Banking |
To induce an interest in money and its basic processes Prepared by: Ginu George |
| Batteries |
A battery is a device consisting of one or more galvanic cells, which store chemical energy and make it available in an electrical form. Prepared by: Sandeep Reddy Muppidi |
| Circuits |
To design any electrical circuit, either analog or digital, electrical engineers need to be able to predict the voltages and currents at all places within the circuit. Prepared by: Sandeep Reddy Muppidi |
| Data Analysis |
Data analysis is the act of transforming data with the aim of extracting useful information and facilitating conclusions. Prepared by: Eddie Artiles |
| Drinking Water Treatment |
Water purification is the process of removing contaminants from a raw water source. The goal is to produce water for a specific purpose with a treatment profile designed to limit the inclusion of specific materials; most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water). Prepared by: Banu Sizirici |
| Football Physics 1 |
Physics is the science of matter and its motion—the science that deals with concepts such as force, energy, mass, and charge. Prepared by: Eddie Artiles |
| Football Physics 2 |
Physics is the science of matter and its motion—the science that deals with concepts such as force, energy, mass, and charge. Prepared by: Eddie Artiles |
| Gravity |
Gravitation is a natural phenomenon by which all objects with mass attract each other. Prepared by: Ginu George |
| Heat Transfer: Conduction |
Thermodynamics is a branch of physics which deals with the energy and work of a system. Prepared by: Bala Krishna Arisetty |
| Hurricanes |
A hurricane is an intense, rotating oceanic weather system that possesses maximum sustained winds exceeding 119 km/hr (74 mph). It forms and intensifies over tropical oceanic regions. Prepared by: Bala Krishna Arisetty and Ginu George |
| Logic gates |
A logic gate performs a logical operation on one or more logic inputs and produces a single logic output. Prepared by: Sandeep Reddy Muppidi |
| Newton’s 1st Law |
If no net force acts on a particle, then it is possible to select a set of reference frames, called inertial reference frames, observed from which the particle moves without any change in velocity. Prepared by: Ginu George |
| Newton’s 2nd Law |
Observed from an inertial reference frame, the net force on a particle is proportional to the time rate of change of its linear momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. This law is often stated as F = ma or more generally F = d[mv] / dt (the force on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration). Prepared by: Bala Krishna Arisetty |
| Newton’s 3rd Law |
Whenever a particle A exerts a force on another particle B, B simultaneously exerts a force on A with the same magnitude in the opposite direction. The strong form of the law further postulates that these two forces act along the same line. Prepared by: Bala Krishna Arisetty |
| Remote Sensing |
Remote sensing is the short or large-scale acquisition of information of an object or phenomenon, by the use of either recording or real-time sensing device(s) that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object. Prepared by: Ginu George |
| Respiratory System |
Major organs of the respiratory system and the function of each. Prepared by: Bala Krishna Arisetty and Ginu George |
| Solar Energy |
|
| Sound |
|
| Trigonometry |
Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with triangles, particularly triangles in a plane where one angle of the triangle is 90 degrees. |
| Units |
The definition, agreement and practical use of units of measurement have played a crucial role in human endeavour from early ages up to this day. Prepared by: Ginu George |
| Volumes |
The volume of a solid object is the three-dimensional concept of how much space it occupies, often quantified numerically. Prepared by: Ginu George & Sandeep Reddy Muppidi |
| Waste Water Treatment |
Water treatment describes a process used to make water more acceptable for a desired end-use. These can include use as drinking water, industrial processes, medical and many other uses. The goal of all water treatment process is to remove existing components in the water, improving it for subsequent utilization. Prepared by: Banu Sizirici |
| Waves |
A wave is a mode of energy transfer from one place to another, often with little or no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium (i.e. little or no associated mass transport); instead there are oscillations around almost fixed positions. Prepared by: Sandeep Reddy Muppidi |
