West Virginia is full of rolling mountains ranges with valleys tucked in between the stretches of mountains. The valleys are beautiful and full life, a stark difference to the tall cold mountains that surround them. These valleys are an evident outlier in the environment around them. Katherine Johnson is another prime example of an outlier from West Virginia. Her endless intelligence and affinity for numbers made her stand out among her peers as future mathematician. This affinity for numbers…

FATEMEH MASTERI 25.04.2016 MY DIARY (Towards unit 10 & 7) 10.1.3 Use own knowledge of the learners and curriculum to contribute to the teacher’s planning. 7.1.1 &7.1.2&7.1.3 Be able to communicate with children and young people Today as always I arrived at 8: 30 and Miss B explained to me about the plans and program of the day. First, all the students completed their science activity and it was about the…

I chose Gravity of the Situation in A Stroll through Calculus: A Guide for the Merely Curious by Professor Barcellos,"A Stroll through Calculus: A Guide for the Merely Curious helps students fully understand calculus and successfully grasp its concepts. The foundational premise is that calculus is, at its most basic, about measuring things and how fast they change. The material gives non-majors an appreciation for calculus and teaches them its importance without the formal proofs needed only by…

On Friday, January 29, 2016, I had the opportunity to go and observe at the Crowley County Elementary school. When I first arrived, all of the students, grades k-3rd, were gathered in the common’s area for their Captain America Friday. Here Captain America lead in morning stretches and the pledge of allegiance. Then the students were released to go to class. At this point, I was directed to go to Ms. Freyta’s classroom of 1st-graders, 20 students total. When I first walked into this…

everyone, then that leads to a lowering of academic standards. Having lower academic standards would just be too easy for some people. Lastly, Algebra is a requirement for all college-level mathematics courses, such as pre-calculus, calculus, linear algebra, statistics and probability, and more advanced mathematics courses. Algebra was taught in middle school so by the time you have already learned algebra I. Now I know people don't like math, and I get that. But if you payed attention in…

Shoes, boots, trainers, sandals, soft shoes and shoe boxes of different sizes, tags with prices, a note, pen, play coins, paper money with a dollar sign and number, small trolleys/baskets, toy or old unused telephone, a real measuring tape and rough feet measuring sheet with numbers. Children can pretend like shop keeper and customer, engage in negotiation and telephone talk, and pay and receive bills etc. These exercises are well suited for an indoor area that can be prepared by arranging all…

Yuhao Zheng Northwest Corner Building The Northwest Corner building locates on 118 Broadway, northwest of Columbia University Morningside campus. The different scale and material of the building make it easy to identify and hard to forget, however, not every resident and critics have positive opinion of the building. The critic Mark Lamster says: “This is not the building most New Yorkers were expecting from either Moneo or Columbia. I think there was an expectation of something contextual,…

variables to communicate. Even if you get around that, the emotions would be obliterated from the language. However, math can still be used as for a basic process of exchanging information or communicating of the numerical universe. Just the way mathematics can be used as language, so can music. Music to me is already considered a language, because of the usage of words. But, I think that even without the usage of words music can still be a language with the usage of instruments and flow. Music…

5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions Future employers of the twenty-first century are looking for employees that can think, reason, and engage in problem solving while working as a team. In order to nurture students to develop these skills, we as teachers need to also evolve our teaching skills by providing learning opportunities that stimulate future work environments. Research shows that cognitively challenging tasks is one of the most effective methods for…

The students were passing in the fluency sprint when I entered the class. Students were asked to take out the place value chart and a marker. Teacher passed out a Kleenex to erase. (Students talked while this transition was taking place.) Teacher reminded students that the voice level in class should be 0. Students continued to talk. Dexter and Brandon were called from class. They missed the introduction and practice for the skill taught today. (I do, We do) Teacher moved to the…
