Number system

In preparation for fractions number talk what I observed was very beneficial for students at the carpet it allowed students to discuss and share with one another. I liked the fact that after a student share students had to give a particular cue saying if they agreed with peer. I thought that was awesome. I also like how she went over what to expect during learning at table and how students will share. So some type of feedback was to be expected even if student did not still quite understand. As…

E) Language Development M. (4 years, 6 months) uses various vocabulary when speaking. Her sentences comprise of at least 4 to 5 words each and combined thought. When retelling a story, she understand sequencing events, but confuses some facts. She understands how to use certain words such as “can” and “will” to ask questions like, “can you come play with me,” or “Will you sit next to me?” If she is curious about something, she begins with “how,” “why,” or “what.” M also understands the…

Six Areas of Development Physical Development Goal: Learn to string beads/or items with holes Rationale: The ASQ revealed that she was not able to stringing any of the beads. Strategies: 1.Twist one side of the pipe cleaner. With hand over hand assistance, show her how to use two fingers to grasp the Cheerios, hold the pipe cleaner up wards, and together do the motion of inserting the Cheerios into the pipe cleaner. 2. Tape one side of the pipe cleaner to the table. Mold the rest so it is…

During this activity that involves the child’s use of number, quantity or counting. The child is playing with toys that are called “shopkins” I believe which she says that she has a lot of them not only at home but at her nana’s house. And when she was playing with them she was counting how many she had in total and then separated them to see how much she can play with and what her friend could play with. They are kind of small toys but they know not to put them in their mouths which is a good…

a perfect Royal Flush on the same day. Now let’s consider the odds of me writing this essay and you reading this. The odds of one of us even being born was roughly 1 and 10^2,685,000 according to some statisticians more knowledgeable than I. This number is unfathomable to us as humans, but I will do my best to quantify the miracle of this paper in a story:…

Last summer I partnered with another educator from my school to craft a multisession mini course for Math for America. The course met over a three month period and focussed on teaching educators from the Metro New York area about the symmetries of a sphere using an ancient japanese art form called Temari. I used our organization’s shared digital message board called the small world network to post and share an overview of our course in the spring course catalog and invited 15-20 teachers to sign…

structures according to certain rules . Originally these elements would put be interpreted as numbers or quantities, so that the algebra somewhat originally was a generalization . The adjective " algebraic " usually denotes a relationship with algebra , such as in algebraic structure . For historical reasons, it may also indicate a relationship with the solutions of polynomial equations , algebraic numbers , algebraic extension or algebraic expression. It AGREES distinguishes between :…

systematic approach, going along number by number to work out the T total. I was unable to start at T1 because of the number grid, therefore the first starting point was T2 and so on (see figure two.) Recording my results in a table, I noticed that each T total increased by five (see figure 3 for working out each T total.) Therefore, it must be related to the 5 times table, multiplying by five. This was my first step in creating a formula, multiplying the T number (otherwise known as N in the…

passing time have all been a part of earlier human civilizations. Prehistoric artifacts dating back over 20,000 years have suggested that early humans made attempts to quantify time. Therefore, it is no accident, that the abacus is based of the number 10; ten fingers or ten toes. As civilizations flourished mathematics as we know it today grew out of the desire and or need to count larger and larger time frames or quantities. As civilizations settled and developed agriculture…

Numbers are everywhere connected to everything we do. We use them to measure years, months, weeks, days, hours, and seconds. We count them in dollars and cents. We measure in feet, inches, meters and yards. The food we eat has a caloric number attached to it. We regard success and failure and distinguish ourselves according to the number of each. We age by ever mounting time. We calculate and distribute. We find comfort in the fact that 2 + 2 will always equal 4. Numbers have definite effect on…
