Partitioning relates to thinking flexibly about numbers and links to Key Understanding 6 in FSiM (DETWA, 2013a, p. 60). During the subsequent sessions, activities using place value mats, tens frames, MABs, abacus, bundling sticks, arrow cards, and number expanders allowed Athena to show the same numbers in various formats (multiembodiments) as advised by Reys et al. (2012). This helped her to recognise the visual and symbolic nature of the numbers and see how numbers can be partitioned in both standard and non-standard ways (Appendix D). In extending her writing of numbers on the place value mat, in addition to using the iPad abacus app with digital readout, and playing Place Value Knockout, Athena began to also recognise the multiplicative nature of the place values (ACU, 2011a, pp.…
Looney Tunes Television is a prime example for stereotypes, especially in cartoons. For instance, in the Looney Tunes cartoon, Horse Hare, Bugs Bunny is hired by the USA cavalry as a sergeant to protect an army fort from the Indian army led by Yosemite Sam. Because of the use of derogatory terms and Native American stereotypes, this cartoon is rarely ever broadcasted on television because of ethnographic stereotyping. The Indians also speak in stereotypical broken English (“Red whiskered white man big loud mouth braggart”; “Me wouldn’t like to be me tonight”).…
Polly showed understanding, so the lesson was extended by introducing another tens frame to challenge her understanding (Department of Education, 2013). For example she was asked” how many counters would fit into these two frames”. Polly answered twenty correctly without counting each box. She confidently made numbers in the teens and removed the counters correctly when asked to show various lower numbers. Two tens frames were used (see appendix 1) to represent two different groups such as “ten and two make…
I chose to use the SENA1 assessment for my student, whom I will refer to as E, because he is in first grade. He is receiving extra help in math and is making great progress. He is also very young for his grade being as his birthday falls in August. E is very excited to work on homework with me, however, he is often looking to know if he right or wrong. Because of this, I recorded the assessment.…
In this children’s book a unenthusiastic cat is wearing his favorite shirt with his four groovy buttons. Unfortunately, buttons keep falling off! This is a great book to help primary students with basic math concepts such as subtraction. This is a great book to have kids sing along to Pete the Cat as he loses his buttons. Teachers can use this book to engage kids in a read aloud as well as encourage them to have a positive attitude even when things keep going wrong.…
One activity that changed the way I think of math was Activity 11.29. In this activity is was about collecting 10,000 items.

I am Zero. I do not have a number, I am where the numbers begin. It’s hard to explain. I like the number three, but I don’t like it if it’s with four or five. Unlike the number five, I like the number four, but not if it’s with five or three.…
This lesson was completed on April 4th, 2017. The lesson plan for this activity is attached. In this lesson I orally said a number between 20-29 aloud.

A time that I have ever taken a leadership role was when I was a junior staff at Kid’s Clubhouse when I was 14. We had taken the kids to the Museum of Natural Science in Raleigh, NC because the place we were going to go had been closed down. It was organized chaos and the kids were wanting to run around the place but we had to remember that everyone was suppose to be back at the bus by 3:30 pm. The time went by and and my partner lost track of time so I had to stand up and tell her that we had to go so that we would not get yelled at.…
