Just Count The Pegs In “Just Count The Pegs” it told us to find the formulas of polygons for Justin, Sarah, and Flashy. It gave us simple information about each person and how to find the formula. Each person says they have their own formula. I used the books information to help me find the formulas. Justin Short says he has a new shortcut. His formula is like an In-Out table. For the In it is the number of pegs around the sides of the polygon. For the Out is is the total area of the figure.…

alternative equivalent expressions. This allowed me to select the correct expression required and also demonstrated the ability to be an effective problem solver, keeping the expression clear and simple to avoid confusion (Morrison, 2006). The mathematics used to solve the question was algebraic expression, as well as using indices to communicate the multiplication of the variable by…

disagreements and resolve issues between humans. John liked to go outside instead of sitting in a classroom due to the excitement and compassion that he had to see the patterns and accuracy of the everyday world around him. Mainly, John enjoyed mathematics up to the point that he solved problems from the walls to the windows. He met with his student, Alissa, who later became his beloved wife from the University of Princeton. Also, a government agent requested John to break code that helped to…

We think of learning we usually believe it occurs during study sections, and later testing helps to assess what we learned through information retrieval. Some researchers argue that this traditional view is actually a mnemonic enhancer, and it often produces great achievement in long-term retention corresponding with repeated studying. Cognitive science reasoning is that we do not just need to learn a task in order to preform it well but overlearn it. Decades of research have demonstrated that…

For my coat of arms, I chose many different symbols that represent the person I am. I chose the Leaning Tower of Pisa to symbolize my Italian heritage because it is one of the most well known landmarks in Italy. The second symbol that I chose was the cross. The cross represents my Catholic faith. A video game controller was the third symbol that I chose.Video gaming is an activity I greatly enjoy and the game controller represents that activity well. The color green is on my coat of arms because…

African American women are less likely than African American men, White men, and White women to pursue the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) (Ceci & Williams, 2007; Charleston, George, Jerlando, Jackson, Berhanu, & Amechi, 2014; Perna, et al., 2009; Syed & Chemers, 2011). This is especially true for the field of engineering, as approximately 1% of undergraduate African American women declared engineering as a major during the 2013-2014 academic year (Yoder,…

The National Curriculum (2013) emphasises that children should ‘solve problems in familiar practical contexts’ and that ‘high-quality mathematics…provides a foundation for understanding the world’. Haylock and Thangata (2007) define a meaningful context as one in which encompasses the child’s everyday experience but is also embedded in mathematics, which they know what the task is about and they can be actively involved. A realistic use of context is one where students are given real situations…

Assessment 3 - Report on child study - Part B Summary of student understanding at the beginning of the process. After completing the diagnostic place value interview (Australian Catholic University, 2011) and based on her responses, it was concluded that Polly needed to begin with consolidating her knowledge of 1-9 number concepts. The diagnostic interview provided valuable insight into her current level of understandings and her mathematical way of thinking. Her responses placed her level of…

Contributions to the History of Mathematics How do Muslims and mathematics go hand in hand? What did Muslims contribute to mathematics? Last but not least how do I think Islam inspire major contributions to the history of mathematics? In my essay you will get a glimpse of Muslims and mathematics through my eyes. Muslims have made many contributions to almost all branches of the sciences and arts, but mathematics was their favorite subject. The advancement in mathematics during the Caliphate…

Solve addition sentences using place value and solve subtraction sentence using place value. Addition and subtraction are inverse operations. Both operations can be solved using many common and similar strategies. Also, knowing strategies in one operation can help create solution opportunities for the other. Math Vocabulary: Add, addition, amount left over, difference, equals, equation, estimate, number sentence, subtraction, word problem, count back, count on, digit, number line, ones place…
