(You may wish to click Pause occasionally to give yourself time to think.) Click Pause after at least 10 hours have passed, if you can survive that long! Select the GRAPH tab and click the camera ([pic]) to take a snapshot of the graph. Paste that snapshot here.…
Some of the similarities that I saw in the data are: 1. An increase in temperatures began in January and ended in July. After July, the temperatures decreased. 2. With the data I worked with, I noticed that the median tends to be around 50 to 60 degrees.…
1) What math concepts did you find the easiest during the first 1-3 weeks of school? What concept did you find the hardest and why? Rate your understanding for each math concept using a scale from 1-10 (10 being strong understanding and 1 being weak understanding) and explain how to apply each concept. During the first 1-3 weeks of school, the easiest math concepts were solving exponential equations.…
Brief Description of the Activity: The activity will begin with students drawing a self portrait on a cue card. They must choose a colour that represents them and use the colour more than once in their portrait. After everyone is finished their self portrait, we will make a bar graph as a class to represent the class’ favourite colours. This activity will begin to show students what the axis of the graph are and introduce proper mathematical language (axis, scale, and one to one correspondence, mode).…
Write of what parts of the text were the most difficult to read, and to identify how many times a passage was read before some understanding was achieved. This has been actually one of my best weeks so far, week 6. The topics were linear equations and non linear equations and I was able to remember about them so this time my brain was not that disconnected as normally is with algebra which made me happy. Do not get me wrong, I still had to read multiple times some sections that caused a little confusion, but again it was not that bad and at the end everything came back to me, this time it was a lot easy for me to figure out some of the book samples, except of course the ones that had multiple fractions I am still under pressure with those.…
In the book, 5 practices orchestrating productive mathematics discussion, it discusses five practices that will improve student-centered discussion (Smith & Stein, 2011). These six practices are anticipating, monitoring, selecting, sequencing, connecting, setting goals and selecting tasks. The first practice is anticipating. In the book, 5 practices orchestrating productive mathematics discussion, it states, “Anticipating requires that teachers do the problems as many ways as possible” (Smith & Stein, 2011). This is also a great time to involve colleagues and other educators.…
The three areas of the tutorial I am aware that I require a few practices in the Patient Care, Part 1; General Patient Care tutorial on Perform Measurement Conversions 1 explains how a MA needs to record a patient’s temperature by converting the Celsius to Fahrenheit by multiplying the Celsius by nine-fifths and add thirty-two. And to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is by subtracting thirty-two from the Fahrenheit temperature and multiple the results by five-ninths. The second tutorial on Perform Measurement Conversions 2 demonstrates how to convert a patient’s height and weight. For instance 1 lb = 0.45kg, to convert pounds to kilograms multiply pounds by 0.45 and to convert kilograms to pounds multiply kilograms by 2.2. The third tutorial on Perform Measurement Conversions 3 explains how to convert feet to inches is by multiplying the…
The 6 areas of learning included in the Early Years Foundation Stage are : - Communication and language; Communication is not always verbal, a baby communicate by pointing at objects, making noise, crying, language involves speech and understanding of words used. -Physical development; Developing good motor skills, being healthy, growing up well. - Mathematics. Knowing how to count from 0 to 20, making simple additions and substractions, being in the process of learning about maths, understand the value of 1,2,3,4,5 apples for instance.…
Are mind and body essentially different? [Descartes, Conway, Cavendish] In 17th century philosophy, the mind-body issue surfaced many circulating viewpoints as to what the real relationship between the mind and the physical world is. This continuing dilemma brings up questions that have ongoing answers regarding if the mind and body are two substances or not, and how exactly the mind and body are related to each other. I am choosing to take a monist standpoint in this paper, expressing that the mind and body are in fact one substance and are not inherently different: matter cannot be infinitely divisible, there is no source of activity in the nature of matter being extended, and other body parts besides the mind have knowledge.…
Children television program: Sid The Science Kid Season 1 Episode 1 -The Sticker Chart. The age target for the show is 3 to 6 years old, mostly preschool. Plot: Sid's mother introduces him to a sticker chart for chores, with a reward for a mega space ship toy if its filled. Sid's curiosity begins that morning with the question of “Why do we need charts?”…
Students who identify with gender or racial minority groups may see their group membership as an obstacle to academic success. Additionally, other theories suggest that the academic achievement minority-group children are jointly affected by cultural conflict both inside and outside of school (Nasir & Hand, 2006). These students may face obstacles such as nonsupport at home, parents who do not value education, or lack of relationships with teachers and peers that encourage learning (Nelson, 2014). A study by Marsh (2008) suggests that changing the organizational systems and structures of a classroom could have a positive impact on both students of color and students living in poverty.…
This letter is intended to help me figure out what skills I have learned in this class, and what skills I was lacking and had already obtained coming into this class. This is my first year in college, but I had many of my teachers in high school that prepared me for the rigorous calculus course. I took calculus AB my senior year of high school, so I had all of the skills I needed prior to entering this class. I knew the Limit, Derivative, and Anti-Derivative topics, and in depth.…
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA DULUTH INTEGRATED ELEMENTARY AND SPECIAL EDUCATION MEMO TO: John Smith FROM: Alexis Smullen DATE: 14 September 2015 RE: Elementary and Special Education related genre memo Thank you for showing interest in the Integrated Elementary and Special Education program at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Although there are many different writing styles educators use on a daily basis, the three most prevalent include lesson plans, direction handouts for assignments, and class syllabi. I hope this gives you a little insight on the responsibilities of an educator. LESSON PLAN A lesson plan is the educator’s step-by-step instructions of what the students need to learn and how he or she plans to use…
Compasses and straightedges are tools used regularly in geometry. Compasses are used to draw precise circles and arcs, leading to making many geometric figures. Straightedges are used to make straight lines that are exact measurements. There is a need for students to understand and be able to construct geometric figures using a compass and straightedge. This is because students will be able to understand the steps it takes to construct geometric figures, it allows students to understand how to use other geometric tools easier, and it is likely for less mistakes.…
Your first key to visualization success is to be willing to make visualization a part of your life. If you stick with it for 30 days, the visualization success you experience will probably make it impossible for you to give up. In just 30 days, you can have such a profound experience from visualization that you'll want to keep at it. It will no longer be something you should do, but something you're compelled to do because the benefits will be obvious to you. Have an open mind.…
