Cell Phone Comparison Tasks

Did you know Argentina is the most sociable country in the world (Document 4)? As of lately there has been a national debate national as to the detriment of cell phone usage, specifically in young people as well as in the parents of young children. It has gone so far as to the Oregon State Legislature designating a task-force to examine the hidden costs of cell phone and smartphone usage on individuals. Many speculate the task-force will shape the laws and restrictions placed upon smartphone users for future generations (Assignment). While luddites could argue that cell phones wrap you up in yourself, cell phones bring people together, as well as being useful and a tool people use everyday.

Algebra is a major mathematical strand that has been incorporated across all year levels within the Victorian Curriculum. The many components within and interrelated with algebra and algebraic thinking sets children up, not only for formal algebra in high school, but for life (Reys, et al., 2012). This paper will be addressing some of the main ideas and understandings associated with Algebra. Key skills, strategies and ways of thinking will also be explored along with strategies for teaching the content effectively.

This is the result of solving an equation to find a value(s) for the variable(s) which make the equation true.

A-APR.1 Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely that they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials. This particular unit is important because the skills learned helps lay the foundation to all of the mathematical concepts learned in Algebra 1.

Cell phones; also known as thing that the human race revolves around. But how can we blame ourselves? You can do almost anything on your phone, right there in your hand. Most of us wouldn’t last a day without being able to check Instagram or text our friends. You can communicate with anyone anywhere. It’s hard to think about where we would be without them. Most likely, nowhere near where we are today.

The math concepts taught in this lesson are teaching the students how to use certain math formulas, and practice addition and multiplication. It is beneficial for students to know what tools to use for capturing and displaying information that is important to them (Davis, 2011). The science concepts taught in this

In the unit, called cookies, I have come across many mathematical concepts when doing the math problems. Inequalities were one of the concepts. Inequalities are the relation between two equations that are not equal. One of the first things that were done was to guess and check using random numbers to find the highest number of combinations that would still make the inequalities true. Also, in this unit it reviewed how to place inequalities on number lines; the open circle in inequalities represents greater than or less than and the closed circle in inequalities shows that it is either greater than or equal to or less than or equal to.Another mathematical concept is Systems of Equations. Systems of Equations are equations you deal with altogether

Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.

He can convert improper fractions to a mixed number with 57% accuracy and convert mixed numbers to improper fractions with 80% accuracy. John can simplify a fraction with 92% accuracy. However, he does not always simplify his answer, instead he stops with his answer rather than seeing if it can be simplified. He can add and subtract fractions with 88% accuracy. He can multiply a fraction by a fraction with 14% accuracy and by a whole number with 90% accuracy. He can divide a fraction by a whole number and a whole number by a fraction with 89% accuracy. He needs to be able to simplify fractions when computing with fractions. He needs to be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. He needs to identify the correct operation to solve a word problem. He needs to be able to solve one-step and multi-step word problems involving all 4 operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) of whole numbers and fractions. John’s weaknesses in math impact his ability to solve multi-step word problems, which is expected in 5th

We can use this information for simple division, multiplication and even when multiplying and dividing larger numbers. This information can be used when cooking, grocery shopping, building things etc..

But, A difference between the two would be graphing the answers. After we both get 4 for both of the problems, we’d need to graph both of the answers. But, in both you’re still trying to find the unknown number which is shown to be a variable, or simply put, ‘ x ‘ .

In today’s society, smart phones are a part of a student’s average, everyday life. No matter what people are doing, they find time to look at their phone and make a call, read a text, check e-mails, or search something on Google. Even though people find so many uses for them throughout the day, they are a controversial subject to talk about in their use in the classroom. Many schools have policies strictly prohibiting the use of smart phones in school. For schools to ban the use of smart phones is a major mistake. They only look at cell phones as a distraction to students, and don’t understand that this generation is dependent on the technologies of today. What educators need to do is ask themselves

Technology has advanced over the years, causing our lifestyle to change drastically and head down a new path. With these advances in technology, the cell phone appeared and has evolved throughout time. The cell phone has become a necessity to many. All ages use this mobile device for either personal or business use. Higgins states that the amount of cell phones active has increased from “one billion in 2000 to 6 billion.” Although cell phones play an important role in the lives of many, the negative possibilities could cause destruction to our society.

Addition: Addition is the process of adding or combining two or more numbers in order to find the sum. Addition is used to find the result of organizing parts of a whole or items in a group. The opposite od addition is subtraction. The addition operation sign is (+).

Completing algebra problems can be difficult if you don’t understand the properties of real numbers. There are several properties in algebra dealing with both integers and real numbers; one that will be the focus of this report will be the distributive property. We use this property when we are combining addition and multiplication in an algebraic expression. Let’s say that you are presented with the expression 6x(2 + y) = 9x + 5xy, now with this problem the order of operation would have you to add the terms in parenthesis first, by using the distributive property it allows to simplify the problem by multiplying all
