• During the beginning of my lesson, with the entire class, I had the students help another student through a multiplication and division problem. When the students were helping another student, I asked the students prompting questions that allowed them to help that student effectively. For example, during the multiplication problem, I asked the students, “Is this answer complete?” to which a student responded with, “no.” When the student responded to this, I asked then the simple question of…
outcome of learning mathematics is the development of one’s mathematical confidence (Ernest 22). This includes being confident in one’s personal knowledge in mathematics, in applying previously learned mathematical knowledge in various situations and contexts, and acquisition of additional knowledge and skills when needed. Mathematical confidence translates to success in dealing with math problems and mathematics in general, thereby decreasing one’s negative attitudes towards mathematics and…
INDIVIDUAL SCORE OF STUDENTS PER SECTION ANCOVA T test Question 3: What will be the response of students on a survey investigating their attitude toward the classroom environment when they are grouped according to the following approach given to them: a. Flipped physics approach (Group A – Treatment Group) b. Traditionally taught physics approach (Group B – Control Group ) STUDENTS’ ATTITUDE SURVEY INDIVIDUAL SURVEY RESULT OF STUDENTS PER SECTION ANOVA SMD Question…
Start, even as simply as writing an essay, but a good one, it requires a start and it requires the writer to start with his or her magic pen to let the article flow. Operation research is my new start. In the field of operation research, optimization attracts me with its unique beauty. Nonlinear optimization, linear optimization, integer optimization, decision diagram all these fields of study start letting me know what I’m good at and what I will devote my life in. Starting a PhD in operation…
As the arrangement of 38 timber columns in Wisdom Path forms a figure “8” pattern which means infinity makes the secret spot looking extraordinary, we would like to develop this concept into our design by forming the shape of art installation to look like a circle instead of the “8” pattern. It will be too direct if we use the figure “8” pattern in our design as it will be like an imitating artwork of the wisdom path therefore we came up with an idea which is to form a circle shape for the art…
5. Hopf-Andronov-Poincare bifurcation In this section, we shall show that the system (2) undergoes a Hopf-Andronov-Poincare bifurcation by using as a bifurcation real parameter. Without loss of generality, suppose that is a function of and . Then system (2) becomes (29) with . System (29) can be written as (30) where , and is the bifurcation real parameter. The function is a on an open set in . Let be the set of equilibria of system…
The Accomplishments of Jean Jacques Rousseau Jean Jacques Rousseau was one of the few people who could be considered as a jack of all trades. He was a philosopher, author, and composer, and he also dabbled in botany and mathematics. He produced many wonderful works in his lifetime and had made several important contributions to music, literature, and political philosophy. His professional success belied the difficult childhood that he had. His mother died a few days after he was born, and his…
“The golden ratio is a special number found by dividing a line into two parts so that the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided by the longer part.” (Elaine J. Hom )After the 21st century, golden ratio represents as a phi in Greek alphabet. The equation for golden ratio is a/b = (a+b)/a = 1.6180339887498948420 …,but if we round it two places, it will be 1.62.the golden ratio is also called the golden mean, golden section, golden number and so on. The…
Introduction Mathematics is a necessary aspect of my life. In my home, work, school and even social environments, numbers surround me. Over many years, I have learned how to derive meaning from them or use them to help me figure things out. During this unit, I have learnt, re-learnt and applied various areas of mathematics to help me achieve the outcomes and find solutions to each ‘Thinking Time Problem’ [TTP] presented. These relate to the Australian Curriculum- Mathematics proficiency strands…
Content of Interview In this interview I focused on asking the students questions that assess different types of mathematical approaches. For instance, I asked questions pertaining mental math, adding, subtracting, putting numbers in order from least to greatest, and word problems. I wanted to address the different aspects of math in order to have a better understanding of what type of level is the student performing in. Throughout the interview, I saw that the students used his strategies to…
