This brought about the idea of using cooperative learning strategies to help the students learn from one another and increase each student’s numeracy skills. When students were allowed to speak both English and Arabic, the students’ knowledge of numbers seems to increase slightly. Incorporating different cooperative strategies such as think pair share, roundtable, and strategic grouping will help each student improve their numeracy skills because each will be forced to think, as well as…

with many advances in the fields of math and science. The discoveries of these people paved the way for deeper understanding for following generations. As their civilization passed through the control of countless rulers and cultures, the idea of numbers and mathematical calculations slowly molded into what we know today. Between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in a region known as Mesopotamia, the Babylonian people resided and worked. The wedge-shaped writing style of the Sumerian people,…

some or little knowledge of numbers and counting. They can count five to ten objects accurately and can also read some numbers, but many other children have not developed this knowledge that’s why I felt it was important to teach them. Children in particular need many opportunities to learn how to count things, and to learn to read and write numbers. A small number of three year olds may still be hard for a child to accurately figure out how to accurately determine the number of items in a…

I had whole numbers, mixed numbers, and fractions being multiplied together. I had him work through a few with me, including drawing pictures together, and then gave him a variety of problems that I wanted him to work through on his own (I was right there to help if he got…

going around the room asking the children to explain how they added the numbers in their head. For instance if a child turned over a 3, a 9, and a 1. The easiest addition equation for the children at this age is to first do 9+1, to get 10, and then add 3 to that. Thus the equation would not be the order in which the cards were turned over, 3+9+1, but 9+1+3. The teacher was stressing this idea that the children could add up the number in any way they like, but the equation needed to represent…

I will need to come up with 50 different expressions that equal the numbers one to fifty on individual slips of paper put them into a container. The numbers 1-10 will correspond to B on the bingo board, 11-20 correspond to I, and so forth to 50 and O. The students will have to solve these expressions to get the number on the Bingo sheet. The object of the game, like in regular bingo, is to get five numbers in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. To begin the activity,…

children are likely to be helpful/unhelpful in scaffolding their thinking (Bottle, 2005). Drews (2007) also noted that whilst structured manipulatives, such as, Dienes and Cuisenaire are especially helpful for children struggling with decomposition and number property and relationships, unstructured manipulatives such as Multilink, counting materials or collections of shapes are more versatile and encourage children’s own application. The ability to use manipulatives in diverse ways encourages…

integer and floating point unit, but is used to represent text rather than numbers. • I bought 3 CD’s which were from 3 different artists. It shows that I bought it from 3 different people. • If (Option 1==Option 2) If the values are the same, then it is true. If they are different, then it is false. • Usernames are an example of string data type. Integer A data type which consists of a whole number. Examples would be numbers 1-10. • Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division are examples…

Section A: Description of Two Young Children’s Mathematical Activity Anus’s Spontaneous Mathematical Activity The polygon puzzle is the most popular activity in my kindergarten. The puzzles are made up of a set of strong and colorful shapes. Children enjoy using the puzzles to create different creative flat shapes and even three-dimensional shapes. The Early Year Learning Framework (EYLF) emphasizes the importance of children being able to resource their leaning through processed materials…

(Highlight and Explain): (1) Converting a fraction into a decimal 1 Weak 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Strong Explain how to do the concept: To convert a fraction into a decimal you have to divide the smaller number by the larger number(adding zeros to the number if needed) and the answer of the equation would result into your decimal.…
