A Dyslexic Life According to the actor and author Henry Winkler, “If you're going to be an actor, be a good one,” (Brainyquote). Dyslexia is a disease that makes writing hard and hard to read also hard to do math ( Landau 13).To have feelings that people need to have for other people. Dyslexics have a hard time with reading because they often skip words in a sentence. Dyslexics often write words backwards while doing writing. Dyslexics have such a big struggle with math because if the teacher…

What is math anxiety? Deb Russell (mathematic expert) gives her definition in her article on the web site about.com called Math Anxiety. Math anxiety conjures up a fear of some type. Just like for actors who suffer from stage fright. They fear forgetting their lines, or fear being judge poorly. Someone who suffers from math anxiety also fears something. They fear they will not understand the math, or that it is too hard. These fears often branch from lack of self-confidence. In this paper, I…

Greatest Achievement of the Mayan, Aztec and Inca People The Mayans, Aztecs, and the Inca people made many achievements in math and astronomy. The Mayans invented an evasive number system and Mayan calendars .The Aztecs made a lot of inventions dealing with math and astronomy. The Incas made findings of math, which helped them manufacture certain things like tools. The Mayans developed an advanced number system. They developed ways to add and subtract. The Mayans understood the importance of…

amazing scientific and mathematical discoveries. Isaac Newton is known worldwide for many famous discoveries. He was an extremely intelligent man. Some of the most famous of his discoveries included discovering lots of information in optics, motion, mathematics, and a ton of laws and rules for physics that we use almost everyday today. Isaac Newton lived a very intelligent and successful life. He never had any children and never was married either. He spent most of his time in science. As he…

In Pursuit of the Unknown by Ian Stewart is about seventeen equations that have not only impacted mathematics and science but have also contributed to human advances to a great extent. According to Stewart, we generally disregard the historical link between mathematics and technological progress but this connection is integral to any complete understanding of human history. These equations are essentially based on the patterns we find in the world around us and using them one can make sense and…

There are so a good deal of math manipulative but, my favorite math manipulative is snap cubes. In my research snap cubes can be used to teach different math subjects. These cubes can be used for math activities and even homework as well. And more in school to involve the students to learn how to add or subtraction with the cubes and even to learn to place value values with the cubes. Throughout my paper I will be talking about snap cubes and how math manipulative can be so beneficial to…

I believe that students should be able to recognize from a table of inputs/outputs that there is a trend connecting the numbers. If this trend goes up continuously by the same number, it would be said to be a linear function. Common examples of linear function would be distance traveled over time for objects traveling at constant speed; cost of gas in relation to gallons used. Certain situations are linear or not based on whether or not the rate of change is constant or varies. Linear systems…

mathematical proof to a mathematical problem or theory that the viewer was not made to understand. Robert is a renowned mathematician and had a legacy of solving extensive mathematical issues. However, he wasn’t able to prove the most important aspect of mathematics that he was working on. He developed a mental situation which made him lose touch with reality and eventually dies. The mathematical problem he was trying to work on was eventually proven by his daughter Catherine, despite those in…

“Improving Elementary American Indian Students' Math Achievement with Inquiry-Based Mathematics and Games” describes a 2008-2009 ethnographic case study of four fifth grade classrooms with varying levels of Native American student enrollment (Stone & Hamann, 2012). Dr. McMillan (2016) refers to ethnography as “the quintessential qualitative approach” (p.312). Stone contends that it remains necessary to “account for what was actually happening with American Indian and other children in these…

The Van Hiele Theory applies to the article “Freedom Quilts and the Underground Railroad.” The three level of Van Hiele are used in the Freedom Quilt Activity. These three levels are recognizing figures by their appearance, recognizing/analyzing figures by their properties or components, and forming abstract definitions and classifying figures by their elaborating on their interrelationships. Students will be scaffolding as they are analyzing the shapes. At the second part of the activity, the…
