The use of ICT in the daily mathematics lesson can be central to creating an inclusive environment where all children are engaged in learning. On the most basic level children, or so I have witnessed, find using computers and other technologies "cool". It arouses their interests and "seems to provide a focal point which encourages interaction between pupils, as well as between pupils and the technology itself" (BECTA. 2003). Using technologies such as computers, interactive whiteboards, audio…
The first major difference from a billiard table is that one end is rounded instead of square. The second diversion is that instead of pockets around the edge, the semi-circular end features nine holes (in the manner of Bar Billiards), one in the middle of the semi-circle and the rest surrounding it evenly in a ring. The hole in the middle is numbered nine, the others are numbered 1 - 8 in a semi-random order. Rather like a Billiards table, Pool table or Darts board, a variety of games can be…
creativity, communication skills, critical thinking and problem solving skill are crucial (“Mechanical”). In addition, Onet Online, a website supported by the United States Department of Labor, describes the skills of Mechanical Engineers as listening skills, math skills, mechanical skills, creativity, and problem solving skills (“Summary”). The BLS describes the tasks and duties of Mechanical Engineers as analyzing problems, designing problem solving devices, developing and testing the device,…
example I would have the class come up with problems that happen at school or in the school yard or among their friend and then in groups, students would come up with solutions to these problems. These solutions would not be inventions, but instead real life solutions that the students could apply everyday. Taking their enthusiasm and incorporating it into a very important part of the health curriculum could help students see the connection between problem solving and creativity and how they…

Critical thinking helps obtain great problem solving and analytical skills. These skills will not only be helpful in college, but also in everyday life. This skill will help you collaborate better with classmates and solving problems. The steps to critical thinking are first identifying your problem, Once you have identified the problem your second step is to analyze the different perspectives of one another, then you brainstorm all the possible solutions of the problem and last decide what…
If I was to describe mathematics I would describe it as using numbers to solve problems. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, mathematics is “the science of numbers and their operations, interrelations, combinations, generalizations, and abstractions and of space configurations and their structure, measurement, transformations, and generalizations”. I believe mathematics is not just a class you have to take in school. It is not just a class that students dread to take in school. Some…
Project summary Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is able to provide personalized instructions and feedbacks based on individual needs for facilitating learners’ learning and skill development. The goal of this research is to investigate the effect of implementing the Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) assessment embedded within the ITS in the context of STEM learning on SRL skill development and academic achievement of African American students and to identify factors that can facilitate their…
