Atomic number

The measurements of our world strive to quantify the quality of our lives. The scales we use to measure ourselves and how we feel, fail to understand the concept of life itself. The tears of joy felt by a mother; the symphony of silence held by a survivor; the loudness of a murmur spoken as a prayer. Life is a composition, led by a melody, woven piece by piece, tied by our hopes and colored by our sorrows. Like darkness is the absence of light, pain is measured by the absence of happiness.…

I chose to do two non-written tickets because my students are pre-kindergarten and they do better with interactive play. I want to be sure that they all participate in this exit ticket. The class helper and I will demonstrate what they will be doing before beginning the activity. Non-Written: I will give them a blank sheet of paper with some crayons for drawing and coloring. They will be asked to draw their favorite fruit and color it. When they are done, they will stand by their seat.…

double-digit addition problems (place value, empty number line, break apart). Ask student, “Do you think we could use some of these same strategies to find the sum of three-digit numbers?” “Today, we are going to use those same strategies to solve three-digit addition problems.” 2. Objective/EQ: During math today, we are going to play a game that includes adding two three-digit numbers using the place value strategy (includes base ten blocks), the empty number line strategy, or the break apart…

Find out the numbers that has the greatest value a) 5.3 b) 4.99 c) 5.198 d) 5.04896 Children should have the ability to compare, order ad represent decimals (11, ACMNA105). The correct answer for the above question is 5.3. Some of the misconceptions could be:  some students may choose 4.99, with the misconception that 99 is the highest number, without considering the whole number, in which 4 is less than 5.  Students may rule out 4.99, compare the other three numbers, and choose 5…

substances different properties. Democritus’ work, however, did not survive through the Middle Ages. Democritus had no real evidence to prove his theory, but he was close to the truth about atoms. In the year 1803, John Dalton contributed to the Atomic Theory. He came up with his own theory of atoms after researching pressures of gases. Dalton’s theory included that all matter is made of atoms. He said that atoms are indivisible and indestructible. He also theorized that atoms of an element…

Specifically, how old is counting? When was representing quantities thought of? Where did it start? Counting originated based on the needs of societies. For example, a primitive society did not need more than a few numbers to manage their life, while a more advanced society needed more than a few numbers to…

to discovering decimals. Although decimals are introduced in fourth grade they are continuously presented in math thereafter. One common misconception held about decimals is the idea that the more digits that are presented in a number, the greater the value of the number. An example of this is students believing that 3 is less than 0.7648 when this is definitely not the case. This misconception is related to Mariam Small’s third big idea where it is stated that by something about mathematical…

Part B Diagnostic Assessment During the diagnostic assessment which focused on grade three student, Boris’s comprehension of number placement and value, Boris did well in most areas, with minimal exceptions. Boris took a great deal of time, when requested to partition the double digit the number. Though they progressed to partitioning the larger numbers in a standard and acceptable non-standard manner, they answered the two digit partitioning question with various multiplication equations.…

possible 334 points. The teacher will divide the number of points earned, 299, by the total possible points, 334, with the answer of 0.895. The teacher then multiplied this answer by 100 creating the number 89.5. This number is able to be rounded to the nearest ten percent, 90%. The student achieved the qualification for a grade of A. The student would not be given the grade of A if the teacher truncates the whole number. Truncating the number to the nearest whole, would leave the student…

Ten fingers. What can we count on ten fingers? Most of you could count how many siblings you have, how many days until winter break, or how much money you have in your backpack. For me, I can count how many schools I've been to so far in my life, 8. It may not seem like a lot but consider they are towns, cities, and even countries apart.People say it's easier for me since I was "little" and I won't remember the friends I've made or worry about customs I had to change from moving to a different…
