For this report I interviewed my great grandmother, Margaret Westphal, about the changes she is encountering within each domain throughout late adulthood. Last April she celebrated her 76th birthday and appears to be aging successfully according to John Rowe and Robert Kahn (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 462). Rowe and Kahn define successful aging as maintaining physical health, cognitive abilities, being involved in social and productive activities, and being satisfied with life. (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 462). When asked questions regarding the physical domain, several things my grandmother mentioned are common changes that occur in late adulthood. At age 75 she had surgery to remove cataracts in both of her eyes. Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes clouded and impairs vision (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 440). More than 60% of adults over the age of 75 are affected by cataracts (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 440). My grandmother also commented on how she tries to avoid driving in the dark. This is likely due to it being difficult for the pupils to dilate or constrict in response to light or darkness (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 397). The final visual difference mentioned was that she has become farsighted. She said she typically holds items, such as a newspaper, farther away to obtain an improved view of it. These changes are collectively referred to as presbyopia (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 396). Presbyopia is defined as the normal loss of visual perception, especially difficulty focusing on near…

equivalent to the ratio. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns which repeat endlessly. Spiral growth is shown in nature. Voronoi Patterns help architectures design. These different aspects of Geometry are often incorporated into our everyday lives. The Golden Ratio is also known as the Golden Rectangle which is believed to be the most visually pleasing form and appears in masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa and in other art and architecture for centuries. Around 1200 AD,…

2014 pp. 90 identifies that a major cause of student’s difficulties in mathematics has been how they understand and process numbers. The teacher then writes on the board 723- 246. The class is asked to copy and complete the above exercise in their books. The teacher then asked a student the answer. The student says “four hundred and seventy-seven”. The teacher interrupts the student: “That is not the way you have been taught to do it” The students haven’t discussed to reason on the answer…

Science, and History. However, math is appeared to be the hardest and more challenging subject that is being authorized widely. In the beginning for hundreds of thousands of years, children educated themselves through self-directed play and exploration. With the rise of agriculture, and later of industry, children became forced laborers.…

The instructional strategies selected for this unit were appropriate to meet the needs of the diverse learners. Providing the students with different cues and questions played an essential role during this unit as they were able to help activate the students prior knowledge. The cues and questions provided when working one-on-one with students was also important as the number of prompting, cues, or questioning varied based on the student. Another equally important strategy was the use of…

Counters are tokens which represent units or numbers, so they can be anything. Teachers can cheaply acquire or make a bulk amount of counters to use. Some examples of what teachers often use for this manipulative are: dried beans, popcorn kernels, jelly beans, colored paper squares, marshmallows or Fruit Loops style cereal. Another advantage of this manipulative is their ease of use. Students can use counters intuitively, it does not take much instruction time explaining how to use them. A…

problems included multiplication problems that were more advanced. So, I wanted the students be able to solve word problems that involve multiplying three or four digit numbers by one. Or, two digit numbers by two digit numbers. I also wanted them to demonstrate and practice proper group work expectations since Ms. Bell has been working diligently to establish positive group work in their lessons. Overall, this lesson went very well. The students were so well behaved, showing their ability to…

Ownership can be defined in a number of ways. Some regard ownership in terms of things are tangible, such as a house or a car, while others adopt a broader definition of ownership that encompasses internal as well as external traits, such as knowledge of a subject or self-understanding. Given the ephemeral nature of tangible items, self-identity is more accurately expressed through the unique qualities people have and how they use them in order to better themselves and the world around them. In…

According to page 285 on Introducing Philosophy, self-identity is defined as, “The way you characterize yourself, either in general or in particular” that “self-identity requires self-consciousness” (285). There are some philosophers that believe the self-identity is what makes you the same person over time, and some who believe that one is not the same person over time. Because there are many questions that are asked about the self-identity, different philosophers had different views on what…

Images of thin, beautiful women and muscular, wealthy men form stereotypes for many that have led to a decline of self acceptance. Many of the images portrayed by the media shape individuals to think that thin is beauty and most will attempt by all means to achieve it. Teenagers (mostly women) on social media experience body shame, body dissatisfaction, weight dissatisfaction, lower body esteem and higher levels of depression. The internet and other similar sources like magazines can have a…
