Consumption function

• What information did you not know before? I actually did know some of these items, or at least the terms, previously but not in the sense that they were presented to us this week. I was familiar with vertices, edges, and the formal notation of a graph. I didn’t have an appreciation for how graphs could be applied to creating and managing associations with various items by applying them as vertices or edges in a way beyond their representation as numeric coordinates. • What information was…

misconceptions and the whole process has been eye-opening with regards to the number of things to consider in my own planning for these “mock” teaching scenarios.Turning to the article on functions by NCTM, I was reminded of my own mathematics learning experiences in middle and high school. I feel as if my understanding of functions (prior to college mathematics) was never fully developed. I’m not sure if we were even shown a “puddle” or “mapping” diagram in any of my secondary math classes;…

Related rates are used in a wide variety of different scenarios from finding how large a spill is increasing, to how fast it may take to empty something. Related rates deal with time, usually have two different variables like height, length, radius, or width; and have something that is changing like area, distance, or volume. In order to solve related rates problems you need to be able to recall or have access to basic geometry formulas like circle, cone, cylinder, rectangle, triangle and…

Brittany Serkus Relationship between Media Multitasking and Executive Function in Early Adolescents Georgian Court University Relationship between Media Multitasking and Executive Function in Early Adolescents The recent development of media technologies has made great changes to the way individuals consume media content. With convenient access to the media, individuals are more likely to overuse these technological services, resulting in increased media saturation. Having access…

thinking, I have chosen to examine my video from 2:45 – 3:25. During this time, I asked students for their answers to the problem given to them and their reasoning for this answer. In essence, I was hoping to target students’ knowledge of inverse functions and how they applied it to solving a situational problem. More specifically, if they were able to find the error in a solution of an inverse algebraic problem and explain their reasoning for this error. Moreover, once a student was able to…

by the use and disuse of material tools. Materialist behaviour identified communally, individually, and globally. Materials used to suit the purpose of their function was justified, but furthered to develop an emotional and spiritual connotation. Through modernized contextual behaviour associated with such material, the use of the function became conceptualized to influence greater than the being of the physical world. Emotional relationships developed with the material is reflected on other…

For this curriculum study, I chose third grade mathematics as my unit of study. As far as my objectives go, I would want my students to walk away from this particular section of fractions with the understanding of what a fraction is, the difference between the components of a fraction such as the numerator and denominator, knowing how to identify how many parts of a whole are shaded in, and knowing how to simplify a fraction. As far as my instructional method, I created an original prezi, which…

It is important in children’s cognitive development and with their success in school. Executive functions are used to organize and act on information. Working memory is one executive function. This skill is the ability to carry information in mind for the purpose of completing a task. Working memory is like your mental sticky note. When I was in fifth grade my classmates and I were learning how…

There are several areas in the natural world where the process of exponential decay arises from random processes. Whenever a material decays at a rate in proportion to its amount, this material represents the process of exponential decay. Exponential decay can be described using the mathematical model y=a×e^(-bx). A prominent example of naturally occurring random exponential decay is the process of radioactive decay. Some isotopes of nature are considered radioactive due to a specific…

Results: At the start of the experiment, the initial flow rate was established as 20 ml min-1. This means that there is a steady flow of fluid or blood in your body (in this case, water) at a rate of 20ml min-1. In order to find the final concentration of the Eosin (2,5 mg ml-1) in the “blood” after 60 minutes a calibration curve had to be created by making up seven different solutions of eosin (11,25 μg ml-1) and water to compare it against their absorbance that was calculated in a…
