unit theme of mathematics. The focus will be on clocks. First grade students will view and identify various clocks and telling time from types of clocks to the half hour. Students will be able to tell time to half hour using different types of clocks. Reading/English also ties into this unit. Students will be able to match words that are spoken with words in print. Class Description: Description of the Class: The first grade class of fifteen students at Liberty Elementary School is…

The name of the article is Using Technology to Balance Algebraic Explorations by Terri L. Kurz which is in Teaching Children Mathematics, May 2013, Volume 19, No. 9, pp. 554-562. In the article, Kurz talks about the concept of using a web-based balance tool to algebraically demonstrate equality. These tools encourage the Common Core Standards of Algebra. For example, The article illustrates a balance tool called the Balancing Act in which the kindergarteners to balance a bird feeder and a…

requires, at the very least, an elementary understanding of math. One cannot escape things like counting, adding, and subtracting, no matter where you go. These are absolutely necessary skills for children to learn at the earliest possible age. However there are many students today who do not like math at all. We as teachers need to do our part to make math easy, understandable, and perhaps even fun. The textbook goes over many theorists' views on how to teach mathematics. According to the…

they have learnt it. The elementary child requires materials which offer repetition but with more change. As the Montessori preschool student moves closer and closer to having an abstraction way of learning, the need for the child to use the materials for a long time shortens. All Montessori math lessons are presented first with the materials, but the old child quickly moves from concrete materials to abstract ones. It is in this stage where practical use of mathematics is important. Montessori…

the elementary standards to include more arithmetic. Elementary teachers spent time, in the classroom, on arithmetic along with other mathematical problems including, shapes, probability, and statistics (Jason Zimba, 2014). While everything that is being taught at the elementary level is relevant, arithmetic has more prevalence for the students because it directly leads to the understanding of algebra in later grades. Jason Zimba, a writer of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics,…

More specifically, it was so fascinating to see how formulas I had been using since elementary school were founded on the basis of calculus; the mathematics used to find the volume of a solid formed by revolving the region bounded by the equation y equals the square root of the quantity r-squared minus x-squared, where r is a positive constant, and the x-axis from -r to…

encourage them to value their progress in learning. 3. Why should special education teachers assess mathematics vocabulary? • Math is like a second language. It is important for students to know and understand the vocabulary terms that they are using when they are talking about the math problems to others. This will also help the students understand math word problems. 4. List and describe the two mathematics learning styles. • Quantitative- These children are usually good with language skills…

Isaac Newton, both intelligent, driven, revolutionary scientists who changed the way we look at the world. Their advancements science can still be felt in our everyday lives. Both Newton and Einstein made equal contributions to modern physics and mathematics, with Einstein building upon Newton’s theories, impacting the world today. Isaac Newton, born December 25th 1642 (January 4th 1643 depending on the calendar) in Woolsthorpe in Lincolnshire England. He was the only son of a prosperous…

Basic skills, as defined from the book Teaching the New Basic Skills: Principles for Educating Children to Thrive in a Changing Economy, are those skills that are fundamental in reading, mathematics, solving semi-structured questions where assumptions should be developed and experimented, working and communicating effectively with different kinds of people, and accomplishing simple tasks via computers (Murnane & Levy, 1996). However, according to Kimberly Lightle, Director of the Office of…
