Dewey Decimal Classification

during the summer I started learning android. The app that I built that I am most proud of is a calculator that works in sixty different numeral systems from base 2 to base 62. I started the project making a calculator that uses hexadecimal instead of decimal, but then I decided to expand the project by introducing more bases using the characters 0-9, a-z and A-Z. I am interested in doing more android development in the future. 3. The EP program is committed to increasing diversity within the…

Development of place value Place value and the ten-base system are important foundations of later mathematical concepts. The development of these concepts takes years and is built upon pre-number and early number development. Therefore, the development of place value and understanding of the ten-base system needs to be understood in relation to early concepts. Classifying and patterning are elements of pre-number development that need to be developed as part of numeracy. Classifying helps…

Computing Assessment Student’s Name Tutor’s name Course Date Assessment Item Blog-1 What is computing power? The efficiency of the computers is reliant on the computing power of the unit. The central processing unit (CPU) has different components among them an electronic clock. The job of the electronic clock is to create electric pulses at various intervals. The pulses allow the computer to synchronize different components while determining the speed in which different…

understand the units needed to make up decimal side of place value and its beneficial as it allows students to discover the concepts hands on rather than just telling them. Another visual aid is the place value decimal line: Hundreds Tens Ones Tenths Hundredths Thousandths This resource is used effectively when placed in the classroom where it is easily accessed by the students. Common misconceptions with students regarding decimals may stem from the ideas that…

medications, payments etc., is a huge part of math in healthcare. Without truly understanding basic math skills healthcare workers will not be able to accurately convert medications and cause errors. Knowing and understanding how to covert fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions etc. are all skills that also tie…

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 5.198, since 198 is bigger than 3.  Students may choose 5.0496 as this has five decimal places compared to other numbers which have less than four…

The focus area I have chosen for this inquiry is to create a supportive and productive learning environment that is safe and fun for my students to develop their mathematical thinking and reasoning. This is based, in part, on my teaching philosophy (Figure 1). A personal goal of my teaching placement is to adopt teaching practices that can offer my students a safe, morally-affective, positive and inclusive learning environment, where they can be fostered and encouraged to freely and actively…

recent years, extensive research has been conducted into the best ways to introduce decimals to students in the younger and lower levels of their education. It has become more than evident that there are many ways to teach decimals to young children, as well as conflicting views on good and bad ways to go about this. For young people decimals can be a scary topic to tackle so going about this can be tricky at times. Decimals and denominators have been listed as the “demons of misunderstanding,…

calculation. When taking significant figures into account for a problem, exact numbers will not affect them either. When performing a measurement on a digital instrument, read and record all of the numbers as displayed, including zeros after the decimal point. But on a scaled instrument, estimate one more figure than you can actually read from the scale. This accounts for the inaccuracies and errors that occur naturally. Accuracy is “a measure of the deviation of the measured value from the…

the number of digits is consistent in each answer (5 digits require the number 568 to become 00568), calculating the numbers would mean ignoring any digit before the first digit above 0, and to the left of a decimal point. When decimals are calculated, all 0s are considered after the decimal point, as they have significance to the value of the number and so cannot be ignored. An example of rounding to significant figures would be if 5.687545 were rounded to 3 significant figures, it would become…
