destruction that would be made to all the states, communities and residents. The fault line is less commonly known as the San Andreas which runs through California – Canada, where it is presumed that ‘The Big One” can be unleashed. The Cascadia Subduction zone is also runs from 700 miles from the pacific Northwest towards Canada. It can cause a lot of damage in the Pacific Northwest—Washington, Oregon and California.

Age Group Justification According to Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, 4th graders between the ages of 9 and 10 are primed to begin exercising more complex logical conceptualizations of knowledge. To illustrate, one of his basic assumptions includes the idea that by this age group -- they should be able to generate (construct) and analyze patterns (Ormrod, 2017, 29). This is evidenced as their thought processes are organized into larger systems of mental processes and operations that allow

Engaging in international trade is an effective stimulation of economic growth. David Ricardo’s principle of comparative advantage argues while nations involved in international trade, a country will become specialised in producing a product that has the lowest relative costs. (Economist, 2015) By focusing on the production onto a limited scope of product or industries, firms or the nation will experience rise in productivity due to higher efficiency in allocation and utilisation of resources. As

1. Introduction-The remarkable triumph of the Chinese economy According to World Bank (2010), China’s gross domestic production (GDP) reached as much as $5,930,529,470,799 in 2010, when for the first time China ranked the second in the world following the United States and surpassed Japan, and has been maintain the ranking in the following years with larger gap outperforming Japan. Moreover, the annual growth rate of China’s GDP has averaged over 9 percent in the last 3 decades (World Bank, 2010)

According to Piaget (1957), cognitive development was a continuous restructuring of mental processes due to varied situations and experiencing the world and maturing biologically. His view of cognitive development would have us look inside a child’s head and glimpse the inborn process of change that thinking goes through. “He was mainly interested in the biological influences on “how we come to know’” (Huitt and Hummel, 2003). Piaget’s views helps us to have appropriate expectations about children’s

upon the experiences in which he/she is immersed in and this subsequently forms their expectations of mathematics (Knowles, 2009, p.29). The strategies that teachera employ should be both challenging but achievable and furthermore within Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development (ZPD). “Realting is the most powerful contextual teaching strategy and is at the heart of constructivism (Crawford et al, 1999, p. 34).” This is where students draw on their own life experiences and use their prior knowledge

OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS OF HISPANIC INFANT OR TODDLER 2 I) Introduction Tre is the pseudonym the parents chose for the anonymity of this youth. Tres means three in Spanish but was shortened to Tre because he happens to be the third generation with his father’s name. Tre was born in 2012 into a mixed family, the father is a full-blooded Hispanic and the mother is a Caucasian woman, but Tre definitely takes after his father. Tre now looks very similar to the pictures that his parents presented of

any given point in development there are certain problems that a child is on the verge of being able to solve. This is known as the Zone of Proximal Development - ‘any situation in which, while participating in an activity, individuals are in the process of developing mastery of a practice or understanding a topic’ (Wells, 1999, p. 333). Mastery of the topic in the Zone of Proximal Development is advanced via ‘scaffolding’, supporting the student in some way. This may be through role modelling, providing

scaffolding and the zone of proximal development which will be explored in this essay and how they contribute to the classroom. ½ scaffolding Scaffolding is defined by Educational Psychology, 8th edition as: “Support for learning and problem solving; might include clues, reminders, encouragement, breaking the problem down into steps, providing an example, or anything else that allows the student to grow in independence as a learner (45).” The key concepts of scaffolding in the zone of proximal development
