The critical stage in children’s understanding of the mathematical rational number and mental and written computation strategies and ‘big ideas’ to reconceptualise their thinking in what is involved in multiplication and division to comprehend the ‘multiplicative situation. (Hurst., 2015).It is important students construct and coordinate the three aspects of multiplicative situations when they are developing multiplicative thinking which is the number of equal groups, the number in each group,…

Living With Asperger's Syndrome Bill did perfectly spell and in the first grades understanding to read. His writing, however, was atrocious. He became an excellent reader and looked to recognize everything he read. Furthermore, he consumed proper grammar and punctuation on the way and became a good speller. His math skills seemed to be the weakest link in his learning process. In math, he did great while in the early levels, but in middle school and high school, math was a problem for him.…

We are faced with problems everyday, and it is how we resolve them that determines our character. During a financial role play for DECA, I was put on the spot and had to generate ideas for a company which was going bankrupt. I had to think out of the box in order to devise a plan that would help this company recover from its financial depression. Preparing constantly my presentation skill and learning the material helped me be one of the top county finalist for my even. More importantly, doing…

I think that a relating and advising math slogan to use next year for our math class is: Do All Work. I chose this because doing all the work is an important part of math. If you don’t do the work, you will find yourself lost in the math you are solving. In algebra, not doing all the work might mean that you did a question wrong. You also can’t calculate everything in your head, because going on you are going to forget how to figure out math. You will have to take some time to learn how to do…

Temporal outliers are common trajectories that follow the populated route, but with an important difference of the speed compared to the other common trajectories. For extracting such type of outliers, we make use of the average speed used by the moving objects in the populated route, we make comparison between each sub-trajectory from the common trajectories and the average speed for all common trajectories that traverse the same route with some tolerance, and we extract two essential types;…

Rosenwasser and Stephen’s “Fourteen Short Takes on Writing And Writing Process” contain a variety of helpful tips for writing a strong and clear college essay. Banking, one of the fourteen ‘topics’, stood out the most for me, mainly but I have personally experienced this problem countless times in a classroom setting. Most of the incidences happen when the teacher becomes impatient with the class. Instead of leading a discussion where the students are in control of their own ideas, the teacher…

For my forum I have decided to go with a post about grade. The question I have chosen is #3, What is a runaway truck ramp? When I read this question I had the slightest idea what it was and how it applied to this math class. As soon as I started researching the topic I could easily tell how this question plays a role with our class. Finding answers to this question was relativity easy considering I found an excellent source on my first click from Car and Driver.…

On April 1, 1776 in Paris, France Ambroise-Fancois Germain and Marie-Madeleine Gruguelu welcomed their second daughter, Sophie Germain. Sophie was the second of three daughters for the pair. It is said that her family was very wealthy although her father’s occupation was not certain. Most people believed that Amrboise-Francois Germain was a silk merchant. He was also a political member of bourgeoisie at the Estate General, which exposed her and her sisters to politics at a young age. Sophie was…

In ten years I see myself meeting a goal of owning and managing a kid friendly bar, and while I get my second college degree. Choosing and completing this goal is important to me because I prefer it when kids can do more activities with their care takers instead of with a random babysitter or daycare. It is also important for me to get a second degree in a different profession so if that goal goes under I can set a new career goal without the trouble of going through a college course when I’m in…

United States miss the mark to exploit on the ability through hard work. High school students’ math score, during an international math competition, underperformed compared with other countries. In Intelligence and How to Get It, Nisbett explores how the educational systems of East Asian countries put importance on hard work and not as much on inherent talent: He explains how the Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans excel at math compared to Americans. He emphasized that students in Japan attend…
