use them to help me figure things out. During this unit, I have learnt, re-learnt and applied various areas of mathematics to help me achieve the outcomes and find solutions to each ‘Thinking Time Problem’ [TTP] presented. These relate to the Australian Curriculum- Mathematics proficiency strands of problem solving and reasoning, while the ‘What I Know About’ [WIKA] activities relate to understanding and fluency (Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], n.d.-b). This…
mental math, adding, subtracting, putting numbers in order from least to greatest, and word problems. I wanted to address the different aspects of math in order to have a better understanding of what type of level is the student performing in. Throughout the interview, I saw that the students used his strategies to solve the math problem. He did not use standard algorithm computation to solve mathematical problems. Furthermore, when I was conducting the interview the students in the class were…
work fairly among staff while accomplishing business goals with fewer resources. Therefore, problem solving and conflict resolution must be addressed. The type of leadership style used to address these issues can either be an autocratic style, where problems are addressed with quick and definitive resolution prohibiting subordinates from providing input. Alternatively, participative leaders approach problem solving by involving the entire team for collaboration (Lindblad, 2015). Both of…
physics engines require a knowledge of vectors so objects can accurately move, which Calculus III teaches. No one wants to play a game where you throw a ball forwards and the ball goes backwards. Calculus can also determine the growth rate of interest or population growth, the volume of any object that can be represented with a function, and even the vector measurements that make space travel possible. To apply calculus to these real world problems I need experience with calculus, which is why I…
As noted Ashley has a lack of self-control, presents as very impulsive, reactive and lacks insight as to how her maladaptive behaviors. Her lack of self-control mostly inhibits Ashley to full succeed academically. Ashley’s impulsive reactivity, and attention seeking behaviors usually gets her thrown out of class for days at a time. When talking to Ashley about why she thinks she got kicked out of class, she would usually respond, “I don’t know why she kicked me out of class. Mrs. J, always…
When I thought of the word “gambling” I considered it to be someone who has a serious problem spending money. In fact it really has nothing to do with the money, it why they do it, how it makes them feel while they are doing it .When you step into a game room the atmosphere is surreal and filled with stagnant smoke. The games just sit and…
According to the PBS Frontline interview, “Digital Demands: The Challenges of Constant Connectivity,” we are witnessing a generation of adolescents who would rather experience human interaction through texting in place of calls or “face to face” correspondence, sighting the efficiency of technology and the safety of distant intercommunication. Consequently, the interview indicates that adolescents are being stripped of the opportunity to build interpersonal skills due to their overuse of…
same. When humans find something to indulge in or something of great passion, most strive to do the best they can in the subject. Bringing back creativity in the school setting would allow a broader spectrum of learning methods for students to grasp knowledge from, thus engaging those who have different learning styles. These students tend to have a higher outcome. The problem with this fact is, not every student can find the way that best fits them. With how the school systems are turning,…
one another; (c) worlds are comprised of objects which can be material or abstract. Abstract materials are comprised of ideas or concepts, the meaning of which is endowed by the individual or group; (d) the collective are in fact objects onto themselves and are not simply organisms which respond, but rather organisms that also act on the environment;…
standardized tests for college admission. “By the time she’s ready to take the SAT or ACT as a junior, she will have completed Algebra II, which is covered in both of these college admissions tests” (GreatSchools Staff). Also, students gain helpful problem-solving and reasoning skills by completing an Algebra II…
