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…

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…

Despite its location, Dot’s Donut Shop was about to get famous. Little to very few people know of Hughesville, Nebraska or let alone heard of Dot’s Donut Shop. The little town of 879 people in central Nebraska was soon to be a town known worldwide but not necessarily for a good reason. It was the first day of Tom Johnson’s senior year. He hated being stuck in a small town with nothing but a gas station, and a rundown donut shop so as you imagine he was ready to get out of here and go to…

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…

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…

Boris is confident in their 2’s, 3’s, 4’s and 5’s skip counting, however they are not experienced in anything above 5’s. The butterflies were different colours and not standard dots or squares, they were also misarranged, which caused some hesitation until I showed Boris how to mentally and physically (with a finger on each, or imagining groups of) reposition them or to regroup. Pony calls and Partitioning of numbers was another…

worked to fix concepts that were already founded by many other mathematicians. Although he did some amazing things for mathematics he was also known for his work in science, and engineering. He did things such as inventing a carriage, standardizing decimal fractions and their uses, as well as refuting the doctrine created by Aristotle that stated, that heavy bodies fall faster than lighter ones, and list of the things he's done continues. Simon Stevin, was born illegitimately sometime in…
