Division 1

It had been 31 years since humans wandered out of their homes in Division 3. After the nuclear war ended in 2020, the government of Havenbush divided the country up in three divisions. Division 1, was full of people who were affiliated with the government, they were the only ones with the freedom to legally break the New Amendment. Division 2 was full of middle classed people. Division 2 had a few violators that broke the New Amendment rules, and they were killed by the Sanitizers, robots armed with guns. Lastly, my Division, Division 3, had been full of the wealthy people. The New Amendment stopped all physical human contact outside an individual’s house. We weren’t allowed to leave home, make friends in real life, or even play on the street.…

Rosabeth Moss Kanter once said, “Confidence isn't optimism or pessimism, and it's not a character attribute. It's the expectation of a positive outcome.” The quote explains how having expectation of a positive outcome sprout from the idea of confidence. If one has confidence in his or her performance, he or she will be able to stay optimistic through the toughest of challenges. Being recruited is an up and down process because there is constant failure and achievement. Confidence, resilience,…

For example, in our third pre-assessment question, which had a word problem and the students had to write an equation based on that problem, none of the students answered it correctly. We saw misconceptions such as adding, subtracting, or multiplying fractions rather than the division that we were looking for. Within our lesson the students will be engaged due to the focus question being given as to how to correctly break apart a word problem. By having a focus question, the students will want…

input/output tables and other graphs and charts to recognize patterns and express them in writing as well as verbally. Develop the Ability to Communicate Mathematically appropriately use vocabulary regarding time, decimals, money, fractions, multi-digit multiplication and division, when solving problems and defending their answer. Students will listen and respond to strategize and solve problems with their peers. 4th Grade Intro Table Numbers and Operations Algebraic Reasoning Geometry Data…

I had whole numbers, mixed numbers, and fractions being multiplied together. I had him work through a few with me, including drawing pictures together, and then gave him a variety of problems that I wanted him to work through on his own (I was right there to help if he got stuck). It was clear right away that he was confused on simplification. He wasn’t sure when to change an improper fraction or when to simplify. I decided that it was probably best to go over exactly what 1/3 * 4 is saying. I…

storied heritage of excellence by being a contributing member of the division. In order to complete the change from its current state to a well-respected unit, I would execute a blended version of the seven-step vision process with John Kotter’s eight-stage model to create successful and lasting change. First, I would begin with conducting an initial assessment of the brigade prior to taking command, which is the first step in the seven-step vision process. From this initial…

One important aspect of mathematics is interpreting the meaning of the numbers in the different operations. Van De Walle, Karp, Bay- Williams, (2013) emphasize the importance of developing meaning, interpretations, and relations to the four operations to help students integrate mathematical skills into the real world. For division, teachers should help students identify and use different meanings of remainders to help the learners understand and apply different rules. As students become…

On the 17th of September, 1862 at approximately seven o’clock in the morning, Brigadier General Willis Gorman of the Union army began mobilizing his units as part of Major General Sedgwick’s division to assault the Confederate defenses in the West Wood.

This narrative will discuss the events that took…

math questions I asked her the following: 1. Miss. C has 15 pockets. She puts 8 Jolly-Ranchers in each pocket. How many marbles does Miss. C have? 2. There are 30 marbles that 6 friends want to share evenly. Each friend wants to have the same number. How many marbles can each friend have? 3. Miss. Salome has 23 goldfish. She wants to put the goldfish into jars, with 10 goldfish in each jar. How many jars does she need? 4. Sarah has 9 boxes of chocolates. Each box has 8 pieces of chocolate. If…

I would also use the numerator and denominator song: from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7WhRMvlQwo Practice Use this scale in order to rate the following… 1 = Detrimental 3 = Neutral 5 = Highly Effective Select, define, and rate the effectiveness of three to five instructional strategies from the video.  Having the students draw the fractions, write in what the fraction means, and then creating a problem with the fractions.  Extension=having the early finishers use different fractional…
