SS221 Class One/Lab 1a: Study Critique – Chocolate! (10 points) Read the Messerli (2012) study and answer questions 1-9 in class. You are encouraged (expected really) to use the Morling book to help you answer these questions. You should find all of the italicized terms below in the Morling book. 1. Describe Messerli’s theory at the beginning of his analysis. (theory pp. 9-13) Messerli’s theory is that flavonoids improve cognitive function, and flavonols reduce cognitive decline that…

Mathematical modeling is a process where the mathematical knowledge, the skills and strategies that students already know are used to investigate and solve real world situations. Mathematics modeling in PreK-8th grade starts out with a real world problem. The teacher no longer plays the role of teacher, but more so a facilitator, that guides the students into what tools and strategies they already know, that would help them solve the problem given. These problems or situations or tasks, are…

following questions will engage students in higher level thinking and mathematical reasoning: “Is there another way to get this answer?” and/or “Can you explain how you got your answer?”. This strategy is from the National Council of Teachers for Mathematics, “Teaching and Learning Principles from PtA”, which entails asking essential questions that are to be a catalyst for deeper levels of thinking (NCTM, 2014). This formative assessment helped me see if they conceptually understood the lesson…

As an Ivy Tech student, I am looking at how my investments in my education will pay off utilizing this project. With a much desired job as a Clinical Psychologist, I will be comparing the salary and my overall lifestyle as a Clinical Psychologist with the median annual income for a high school graduate, which is $25,000. Compared to the median annual income for a high school graduate, the median annual income for a Clinical Psychologist is much higher at $70,580. Seeing as a Clinical…

(Issue 34, 2011). The complexity of these particular type of proofs can be adjusted to fit in with the national curriculum at the appropriate ages. Another technique is the use of a conjecture, this is reasoning in order to develop statements in mathematics which are considered true but in fact have not actually be proven true (Herringer, 2013). Children can create a conjecture which has not yet been checked, this is identified as blooms taxonomy which allows deeper learning and requires more…

topic in applied mathematics, with additional interest in differential equations. Lecturers are not much motivated to improve the situation rather they maintain their traditional lecture approach. Problem-solving applications and research activities generally are only beginning to take hold, however, because university mathematics has traditionally focused on theoretical topics on the assumption that the only career for math majors would be in teaching (The International Mathematics Union,…

• 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…
