My name is Naima Goffney, and I am an eleven-year-old seventh grader at Julius West Middle School. I am taking algebra 1 this year. I wanted to write the Math for Real because in math class I do not always think that what we are learning is related to the real world. At home, my mom shows me all the different ways I am mathematically smart, which makes me want to try harder in school during the “rougher” days. We can use math to know more about how to improve our skills and find the math we learn in school more interesting and more related to our real world as middle schoolers.

This paper focuses on maping hadiths studies which has been done by orientalists according to Harald Motzki. So far, the maping is always seen based on an assuption which results three sections namely sceptic, non-sceptic, and middle ground. Unlike prior studies, Motzki tries to divide hadiths studies in the West based on the method they use Based on it, it is obtained a conclusion that hadiths studies in the West are not stagnant and similiar. On the contrary, it undergoes a progress time by the time. Based on the method employed to examine the authenticity of hadiths. The study of hadith in the West can be classified into four divisions. First, is matan which was introduced by Ignaz Goldziher, Josep Schacht, and Marston Speight. Second, is dating based on collections of hadis books with Josep Schacht as a initiator. Third, is dating by isnad which was started by Josep Schacht and Juynboll. Fourth, is isnad-cum-matan which was embarked by Harald Motzki.

<div>Researches related to Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) show that challenges faced by girls related to MHM in schools, such as lack of MHM facilities and information including negative stigma, potentially decrease the fulfillment of girls’ rights to proper education. However, there is no study in Indonesia to explore the implementation of the Menstrual Hygiene Management (MKM) program in schools from the perspective of children’s rights. Therefore, this study examined the implementation of the MHM from the</div><div>children’s rights perspective and explored the importance of affirmative action towards MHM for girls. This research was conducted qualitatively in March 2018, in the West Jakarta Municipality (DKI Jakarta), Nagekeo District (NTT), and North Lombok District (NTB), one elementary school and one middle school in each regency/city, there were a total of six schools.</div>

Seasonal relationships between size, bottom temperature, and distribution of cod are described for the western Gulf of St. Lawrence and Nova Scotia Banks.In summer, in the western Gulf of St. Lawrence, cod are distributed from 35 to 145 m at bottom temperatures from −0° to 6 °C. They are most abundant at about 100 m where the temperature is around 1 °C. In winter they are concentrated in 130–180 m along the western slope of the Laurentian Channel at bottom temperatures from 1° to 3 °C.On the Nova Scotia Banks cod are less abundant than in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. They are found mainly around Banquereau, Middle Ground, and the northern edges of Sable Island Bank. Further to the west cod are replaced by haddock as the dominant species. Nova Scotia Banks cod are found in shallower and warmer waters than Gulf cod, both in summer and winter. In summer they are present from 65 to 110 m at bottom temperatures varying from about 1° to 8 °C. In winter they are taken primarily at 90–135 m at bottom temperatures from 2° to 4 °C.Area and depth distributions of commercial catches reflect the seasonal pattern of cod migrations and distributions demonstrated in surveys and tagging studies.

On a not-so-routine flight to an NCTM meeting, my colleague and seat-mate, Jim Williamson, and I had ample time to chat and ponder our surroundings. As happens many times in the West in the winter, heavy snow caused a long delay. While we waited on the runway for the airplane to be de-iced, we noticed that runway numbers were posted in pairs, as in Runway 2-20. We also noticed that some numbers had an L or an R attached to them, as in Runway 2L This observation was the only setting we needed to start a real-world investigation on how airport runways are named. Because it is hard to generalize from the small sample of numbers that we could see from the airplane, we realized that we needed more data. We talked to pilot, who furnished us with several old maps of airport runways. He did give us a hint that the runway numbers had something to do with the compass headings of the runway from magnetic north. We were now in business: we had an interesting problem, we had data, and we had Time to talk about it and think about it. This atmosphere is the type for which we strive in a middle school mathematics class. The following activity is based on our investigation and can be used for middle school mathematics.

The purpose of the current study is to conduct developmental comparison of the middle school students&rsquo; misconceptions about the concepts of astronomy. The sampling of the study is comprised of middle school students attending a private school located in the west of Turkey. A total of 144 students participated in the study. In order to determine the students&rsquo; perceptions of the concepts of astronomy, a data collection tool consisting of five open-ended questions was developed by the researchers. The data collected through this data collection tool was subjected to content analysis; on the basis of the analysis of the students&rsquo; responses, codes were determined and on the basis of these codes, themes were constructed. The results are presented as percentages and frequencies. When the findings of the study were generally evaluated, it was concluded that the students have misconceptions about the concepts of astronomy.
