During my time in my Kindergarten LAL/Math resource classroom I observed a student, who will be referred to as Ally for confidentiality reasons. Specifically, I observed Ally’s number recognition ability. Ally is currently five years old and is in her seventh month of Kindergarten. Ally lives at home with her mother, father, and older brother Mathew. Ally’s parents are very involved in her school life. They attend celebrations, meetings, and other events. Ally comes from a Russian family. Her…

systematic approach, going along number by number to work out the T total. I was unable to start at T1 because of the number grid, therefore the first starting point was T2 and so on (see figure two.) Recording my results in a table, I noticed that each T total increased by five (see figure 3 for working out each T total.) Therefore, it must be related to the 5 times table, multiplying by five. This was my first step in creating a formula, multiplying the T number (otherwise known as N in the…

Grade level: a. 2nd Grade CCSS Content Standards for Mathematics Number and Operations (base ten or fractions) heading: a. NBT.5 Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. Lesson objective(s): a. Students will be able to accurately use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract numbers within 100. b. Through multiple activities students will…

passing time have all been a part of earlier human civilizations. Prehistoric artifacts dating back over 20,000 years have suggested that early humans made attempts to quantify time. Therefore, it is no accident, that the abacus is based of the number 10; ten fingers or ten toes. As civilizations flourished mathematics as we know it today grew out of the desire and or need to count larger and larger time frames or quantities. As civilizations settled and developed agriculture…

involve the use of sleight of hand. The Trick The victim is free to shuffle a full deck of 52 cards in any order they will like. They are later asked to choose a number between 1-10 and also to count along as the cards are being displayed. The card in the position chosen by the victim becomes his/her first chosen card and the number on that card becomes the position of their second chosen card and they are expected to repeat the process till the point they are out of cards. In this…

3. Focus Students: Description of Student A: Abby Prior Learning Abby’s prior knowledge of multiplication of fractions is limited because this is not introduced until the 4th grade. The student was able to get the first two problems on the pre-assessment correct which asked the students to find the missing value that would make the equation true when multiplying. The student does not understand the concept of unit fractions or the relationships between multiplying fractions and repeated…

In The Housekeeper and the Professor, Yoko Ogawa illustrates the varying perspectives through which different people regard the world. Set in late 20th century Japan, The Housekeeper and the Professor follows three characters as they form a strong relationship despite their contrasting opinions. The Housekeeper, prior to working for the Professor, sees the world as dull and unremarkable. Similarly, her ten-year-old son Root finds nothing special about the mathematics that he learns in class.…

In case where there are not enough bits to obtain the MSB of last block, multiplier is sign extended by one bit. Therefore Modified Booth Multiplication is a technique that allows for smaller, faster circuits by recoding the numbers that are multiplied. It is a standard technique used in chip design, and provide significant improvement over long multiplication technique [6]. III. SOFTWARE DESIGN Modified Booth Multiplier consist of three basic components namely Booth encoder…
