Protagoras by Plato

Protagoras by Plato

Right-Brained Place Value grows out of the work in Right-Brained Addition & Subtraction. Once the children know their facts to 10 on sight (very much like we want them to know their sight words) they are ready for multi-digit computation. The magic of this book and what sets it apart from other books is that all computation is based on the facts to 10. Students never have to add any facts larger than 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, or 5+5, or subtract anything other than 10 minus numbers 1-9 Children love doing big problems using this method because they no longer have to tediously count on their fingers. Right-Brained Place Value takes basic addition and subtraction into multi-digit computation, and includes strategies for word problems. This detailed resource book is packed with 155 pages of handy reproducibles of worksheets, assessments and overheads, making lesson preparation a snap. Total page count: 223.

Born to a politically connected and aristocratic family between 428 and 423 B.C., Plato received a good standard of education at an early age, and was able to immerse himself in the intellectual community of Ancient Athens. His most notable contemporary and mentor was Socrates, an eccentric but highly capable philosopher who was to feature as a principle character in most of Plato's scholarly writings. Owing to his high standard of education in art, mathematics, rhetoric and philosophy, Plato was able to assemble a comprehensive philosophy of his own via his favoured form of writing which was the dialogue. In total, over thirty of these Platonic dialogues have survived the passage of time - and together they form the backbone of Ancient Greek philosophy. After enjoying success as a writer and academic, Plato in 385 B.C. founded The Academy. This school was to unite the most capable thinkers of Greece, and would help to advance learning throughout Greek society's Golden Age. It was in the Academy that Plato would instruct and apprentice Aristotle, who was to go on to gain renown as a philosopher and scholar. Owing to his reputation Plato was hired by Dion, whose nephew Dionysus II was the rightful ruler of Sicily - Dion wished his nephew to receive a good education in the art of sound and wise governance. However Dionysus II became suspicious and accused both Plato and Dion of conspiracy - after some time spent under arrest, Plato returned to his homeland. In his late period, Plato continued to tutor and mentor the best young minds of Athens, and he would perish around 348 B.C. having lived beyond the age of eighty. Today Plato's legacy remains lauded: the philosopher ably used logic and reason to imbue insight on democratic governance, while developing a cohesive philosophy on topics such as art, metaphysics, justice and the 'Theory of Forms' - his iconic take on how ideas related to reality.
