Teaching And Improving Children 's Mathematics And Language

The Orff Schulwerk (“Schulwerk” being the German translation for “school work”) approach to music education is one of the most commonly used methods of teaching music in the twenty-first century. This interactive method of music education is most commonly used for elementary students, but can be applied to teach secondary students as well. Developed by composers Carl Orff (1895-1982) and Gunild Keetman (1904-1990), the Orff Schulwerk method focuses on teaching students by using “elemental music,” meaning music that children are naturally inclined to make, similar to the natural way that children learn speech and language. The Orff Schulwerk method also places a strong emphasis on the areas of exploration and experience.

Administration and Scoring Time: The TEMA-3 is not a timed test. Within reason, students should be given as much time as they need to complete a question. On average, students will be able to complete this test in 45 to 60 minutes. The scoring time should be minimal. The child receives 1 point for each item passed, and incorrect items are scored 0.

The use of outdoor settings for learning, enables children to achieve further progression in their ‘mastery’ of Mathematics skills.

activities for literacy, numeracy, ICT and problem solving when working with children in the class.

Kostos and Shin present the research problem by explaining (in great detail) the implications and consequences of students having these issues. The researchers explain the difficulty in having students focus on finding the right answer, and then shifting that focus to finding a meaningful process instead. Students are required to “communicate

E.A.L. stands for English, as an Additional Language. It is an additional in school support provided for children whose first language is not English. If children are not supported to develop English, they are less likely to be able to

Literacy through math? How can this be? In my Webster’s New Dictionary, literacy is only defined as the ability to read and write. Reading is not exactly my cup of tea, so how can I write a paper about how literacy influenced me when I was not influenced by any kind of reading? Reading and math are like two completely different worlds. I have a dislike for the reading world, a dislike scarred in my memories by my earlier years of struggling from dyslexia. However, in the world of math, it is a fascinating celestial space that is full of fun and great potential to better myself. This special place was created by Cyberchase, a beloved childhood show I used to watch every day after I came home from school. I started watching this program around the time I began Kindergarten. Cyberchase has inspired me to have a strong enthusiasm in learning and to better myself by having a positive view on new challenges.

This literature synthesis focuses on mathematical problem solving and English language learners. In the United States public schools, the student population of ELLs is over five million students in grades Kindergarten through twelfth grade (Orosco, Swanson, O’Connor & Lussier 2011). Many different factors apply to the challenges English language learners have in an English proficient classroom. Educators have made misconceptions that mathematics is a culturally fair-minded subject because it is numbers and symbols. This indicating that no matter the students’ background knowledge or linguistic abilities, students with a diverse cultural background should have the capability to solve mathematical problems (Brown, Cady & Taylor

There are many educational software’s out there, but it can be difficult to find one that is user friendly, and teaches or reinforces information. Kidzone, after the initial downloading period, was quite user friendly. This website was developed by Symphony Works/Moon Road LLC, and is sponsored by New York Philharmonic with support from Beatrice Snyder Foundation. Kidzone organizes their website into 5 sections: game room, instrument storage room, dressing rooms, instrument lab, and composers’ gallery. To get all the features out of this website, the user needs to use Internet Explorer or Safari, and have Flash Player installed on their computer. This website is not mobile device friendly. The four games that will be analyzed are Instrument

chapter 5 explains the various types of ways to approach curriculum. The chapter covers five different approach that range from comprehensive musicianship to . there is many things we should take into consideration when teaching music. Student need to have comprehensive knowledge that will help them be able to have a better insight, and structure when learning music. The approach is divide into three part which consist of common element, musical function and educational strategies. Comprehensive musicship help students by opening ways to be creative by composing new music. Dalcroze Eurhythmics is another approach that student use the body and together. Dalcroze Eurhythmics is broken up into three different sub group which consist body movement,

METHOD The study is descriptive, qualitative research on teachers as they attempted to meet new standards. Specifically it is a case study of an elementary school faculty, done in an attempt to

According to Campbell and Jane (2012), “The generative and evaluative modes associated with creativity help children to understand their own creative thinking and decision-making, facilitating their learning.” (p. 2). I agree with this observation because I do believe that allowing children to expand in their creative thinking will allow them to make decisions on their own. Technology even helps them more because they are given software’s that allows them to show their creative thinking and decision making. The authors emphasize how children feel more motivated during technological activities and discuss how the language of the children improves with the use of technology. For example, they are able to download applications that provide them with speaking and listening skills. Furthermore, they could also use applications that allows them to learn other languages, which expand their knowledge. Their research revealed how some factors such as beliefs, attitudes, expectations, emotions, and motivation in the learning process, can help the learning experiences connect students to be more creative and analytic. In this study, the authors demonstrated that children are more engaged when they are taught by means of technology (Campbell, 2012).

“Music has the power of producing a certain effect on the moral character of the soul, and if it has the power to do this, it is clear that the young must be directed and must be educated in it,” Aristotle said (NAfME). When students learn music at a younger age their general well-being is impacted in a positive way. Musical training encourages young students to tap into their imagination and create art. Music connects pieces of life’s tasks together. As prospering musicians, students are vulnerable to emotional changes, sparks of creativity, and an increased sense of belonging. Music has made a great impact on the lives of many students from all over the world. Teaching various types of music and musical improvisation to students positively impacts their well-being by improving learning skills, promoting self-respect, inspiring creativity, and establishing musicianship.

So we trying to keep the real strenghts of this Education form made by Lego, which one of them is the „fun for children to learn”, and making an already not made program which helps children to solve problems, doing tasks and get some experience about the world with playful studying mixed with team-work via the internet.
