Teaching math can be a daunting task, especially in the lower grades. Teaching mathematical concepts through lecture and paper and pencil work isn’t enough to achieve deep understanding, math reasoning or problem solving skills. Math manipulatives are “hands on” or virtual materials designed to engage students in active investigation to gain higher levels of understanding. Manipulatives not only allow students to explore concepts, but also allow teachers to see what students are thinking. “The…

READING The Basic Reading Skills composite measures EE107’s ability to read a list of words and correctly pronounce nonsense words. EE107’s standard score of 75 falls in the low range at the 5th percentile, indicating that she performed at or 5 percent of her peers. Based on EE107’s performance on this composite, it appears that she will benefit from explicit instruction on word recognition skills and phonics skills. Reading Fluency refers to the ability to read quickly and accurately. It is…

Piaget’s Theory Well known French psychologist, Jean Piaget, developed a theory, which is known as the four stages of cognitive development. The stages start from when a child is born up to the age of twelve, or preteen years. According to simplypsychology.org, this source states, “Piaget (1952) believed that [these four stages] are universal-i.e. that the same sequence of development occurs in children all over the world, whatever their culture (McLeod 2009).” To continue, I will elaborate and…

One of many global issues that we are facing on this earth is the overpopulation of this planet. The overpopulation has been increasing due to the number of factors. Here are two main factors, technological advances, and medical discoveries. But at the same time, the earth could have the capacity to carry or hold over 7.5 billion of humans and counting (as in 2016) and how about in the future years and decades to come? Because of countries might not be able to maintain a basic standard of…

humans were given as offerings. The Incas have two calendars, one based one the cycle of the moon, and the other the sun, the other with the moon only had 354 days, so they had to add days so that it would match the sun calendar. The Incas used a decimal system - a number system based on units of ten, just liked we do. The stones used to make important structures Cuzco, and elsewhere had great engineering skills, the stones were so tightly put together that a knife blade can't be slipped in…

prevent such things from happening again. Also, as we will see in the following, learning this system it’s really not so hard.) III. The metric system, or the International System of Units (SI), is much easier than the U.S. customary system. A. It is a decimal system like out monetary system, and all units are related (Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 2015). B. There are seven base unit, from which everything else can be derived. This makes conversions really easy. For example, in the SI system…

LAB REPORT 1 MEASURING ENERGY EXPENDITURE USING CYCLE ERGOMETER 10/13/2015 SHEETAL PARMAR TY2 INTRODUCTION Physical activity is defined as movement of body, which is produced by the skeletal muscles of the body which results in energy expenditure. There are several numbers of techniques for the assessment of physical activity related energy expend, the most valid technique to estimate this value at the definition of the physical activity is indirect calorimetry (Westerterp, 2013).…

negative health effects from their diet, and the results were not indicative of either one being worse. Contributing to the mathematical errors at several points "Biological Impact Of Feeding Rats With A Genetically Modified-Based Diet" roughly rounds decimal points and skews its data and leaves out other important information “diet of mainly 60% yellow maize and 34% soybeans” it fails to mention what the other 6% of food even is (ORABY, 266) for all readers know the rats could of eaten aliens.…
