Hansen (2006) explains errors as ‘mistakes made by learners as a result of carelessness, misinterpretation of symbols and texts, lack of relevant experience or knowledge related to a Mathematical topic’. From her research she found that misconceptions, eventually led to errors. Drews (2005) defines misconceptions as the ‘misapplication of a rule, an overgeneralization or under-generalization or an alternative conception of the situation’. Misunderstandings are the result of a failure to grasp what

Assessment 1 Specific Difficulty in the Number Strand Chloe has a difficulty in completing vertical subtraction algorithms, particularly when there is a zero in the minuend. Learner Profile Chloe is an 11 year and 10 months old girl who lives on Sydney’s North Shore with her mother, father and two younger brothers.

Part 1- Effective Teaching of Mathematics After taking this course I have personally learned so much about mathematics and effective ways on how to teach certain topics in my future classroom. I believe that this course was taught in a way for me to advocate for how I teach myself mathematics. When I knew I was taking this class I was very nervous at first. Mathematics is not my strongest subject so automatically I felt as though this class was going to be a long struggle for me. Once I had a couple

Introduction This report is about place value and how it should be approached based on the interview style diagnostic observations of year six student ‘Ariel’ and her knowledge and understanding of place value, including her ability to correctly use it with mathematical operations. The aim was to diagnose areas that required learning and offered improvement opportunities. The aim was to then support this with the development of a teaching plan. This was achieved by instructional activities through

various branches of engineering such as computing. 1) UrdhvaTiryakbhyam Sutra The Vedic multiplier is depends on the “UrdhvaTiryagbhyam” sutra (algorithm). These Sutras have been traditionally used for the multiplication of two numbers in the decimal number system. In this work, we apply the same ideas to the binary number system to make the proposed algorithm compatible with the digital hardware. It is a general multiplication formula applicable to all cases of multiplication. It literally means

Mathematics and theology have blossomed together throughout history with many great mathematicians also being great theologians. However, in the modern scientific era, mathematics has become by and large secularized in mainstream academia. Although the secularization of mathematics seems to ignore mathematics’ metaphysical value, in truth, this secularization allows for mathematics to act as a universal tool and allows the individual to attach his or her own personal truths without marginalizing

The most significant aspect is being able to comprehend that whilst there may be different ways to write the number, it still has the same value. The Australian Curriculum recognises this importance for more complex learning in; algebra, fractions, decimals and multiplicative thinking (Commonwealth Of Australian, 2009). Without this knowledge, problem solving becomes limited, resulting in confusion and

Recurring Decimals Infinite yet rational, recurring decimals are a different breed of numbers. Mathematicians, in turn, have been fascinated by these special numbers for over two thousand years. The Hindu-Arabic base 10 system we use today was inspired by the Chinese method of decimals which was actually around 10000 years old. Decimals may have been around for a very long time, but what about recurring decimals? In fact the ancient Greeks were one of the first to deal with recurring decimals. The

Justifications: Warm-up: Shared Book Description: Justification: The warm up for this lesson is reading a book called, “Earth Day - hooray!” I chose to incorporate reading as a math warm-up because it is an effective way to explore mathematical concepts, which are both engaging and informative for the students. Integrating elements of literature into the lesson supports problem solving and allows students to be fully immersed in the story, solving themselves the mathematical issues that the characters
