Math Equations.
Does anyone know of any math equations - particularly used in the military - that people use to help make decisions? I teach Grade 7 math and found that my students really struggled with equations and variables partially because they did not fully understand their significance in the real world. I used the classic E=MC2 as well as the equation the police use to determine the speed of a car using its skid marks, but only a few of my students got it. I would like to put together a list over the summer so that they will be better able to see the power of equations and hopefully see their importance. Please note that if you can provide one, can you please identify the variables and no you do not need to explain it with an actual example. I just need to know the equation and what it does. Thanks.

As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.
