Reform mathematics

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…

wasn’t something I envisioned for myself either, not until one of my math teachers in Middle School encouraged me to go to college and pursue a degree in mathematics. She saw that passion I had for mathematics when I was just 13 years old and encouraged me to pursue a degree in mathematics. At the age…

In regards to the table above, we found several things to be interesting to the way these particular students think and form ideas. First off, the students we had interviewed were in either 5th or 6th grade, which means that it’s expected of them to think this task may be a little easy. However, most of the students except one, seemed to confuse metal objects, with non-metal objects. For this reason, we think the students formed ideas based on; if the object is heavy in anyway and appears to…

The analogy being that you must take every step patiently in order to have set a firm step. Ever since I was a little kid up to the young man I am today, I have been captivated by Mathematics and Science. To this day, I find myself with the same enthusiasm in both subjects, and finishing my Associate degree in mathematics. However, the opportunity came to…

Jean Reyes Period 5 12-13-16 Mayan’s Most Remarkable Achievement The Mayans have accomplished many remarkable things like, their Mayan calendar, trade network map, and building cities, Even though those are remarkable, I think that their number system was the most remarkable thing that they have. The next remarkable thing that the Mayans did was their trade network map. The Mayans really had no transportation to get to where they wanted to be, and they had to carry everything themselves…

Does taking maths literacy classify me as stupid? Lets just get one thing straight, currently I am a maths core student. One of the biggest decisions at the end of the grade 9 journey is the choice between maths literacy and maths core. Maths literacy has been classified as the subject for stupid people, for those who are not capable of pure maths. Yes of course as we know it maths core is a lot harder, but is it more practical? Are we going to use it when we set out on our new life journey…

Just say no. It is easier said than done. I have always had a problem saying yes to every favor people ask me, it is just hard to say no. I use to pressuring people, but when the tables turned, I realized how much pressure could affect them. I get most of my pressure from school, especially in Math. Tutoring for Math was assigned for the week, I was not planning to go. The Math lesson was very confusing, so many of the people in class were attending. I was self conscious to go because I…

rarely mention enjoying the homework or classes, and even the process of learn-ing isn’t as interesting anymore. And dolefully, for most students, inclusively myself, the math-ematics courses are the main problem. The impressively wide range of mathematics classes in the average American high school can lead to confusion and frustration for the students. In some foreign countries, mainly in Europe, the schools have one single math class, explaining and shortly introducing almost every basic…
