Once students get to the fourth grade, learning equivalence in fractions with unlike denominators is something that they can look forward to...or not look forward to. It can be a very tough lesson and something that is hard for the children to understand. They need to have a simple understanding of fractions already. They need to know what they are and how they add up together. Meaning that they need to understand that fractions are a part of a whole...a fraction of something, and that if the fractions

issue is set out in the report in numerical order with a screen shot of the methods used to solve the question followed by a reflection. The reflection describes my feelings, confidence and approach towards each question along with the type of mathematics used, the year level suitable for each question according to the ACARA (2015) and alternative ideas for solving the six questions. 2.1 Question 12 Reflection Initial thoughts were I could easily solve this because I use metric units on a

There are a number of teaching strategies a teacher can employ when teaching year 6 fractions including whole class discussion, lectures, brainstorming and questioning. Coupled with tailored instruction to suit differing abilities, it is possible for the teacher to cater for students with low, average and high ability. This essay will explore these strategies and approaches to demonstrate how a class of 24 year 6 students with ranging abilities can learn fractions in same ability groups. The essay

Abstract: - This is an article on Islamic Mathematics. Islamic mathematics is dated back to the 8th and 13th centuries CE. The mathematics in the Middle East is an expansion of what great Greek philosophers had already found and studied. Much of what the Middle Eastern mathematicians discovered helped influence European mathematics. In fact, a lot of what high school math teachers teach our current generations is Algebra, which was discovered by an Islamic Mathematician. Key-Words: - Al-Khwarizmi

The implications of infinity (co) are actualiy not that old. The Greeks were some of the first mathematicians recorded to have imagined the concept of infinity. However, they did not actuaily delve into the entirety of this number. The Greeks used the term “potentially infinite," for the concept of an actual limitless value was beyond their comprehension. The actual term “infinity” was defined by Georg Cantor, a renowned German mathematician, in the late nineteenth century. It was originally used

The school I was able to do the observation was Eastside High School where I observed sixteen hours of a class. The class I observe is an English as a Second Language (ESL) class that prepare students for college. The class is taught by Wilfredo Betance and he teach a 12-grade class. I wanted to do the observation at Union City High school were I graduate but the board of education took a long to give me permission. The other rest hours of the class observation were done with the classes videos.

I am currently enrolled in Calculus and I am feeling overwhelmed because just the year before I had only taken Algebra II so a jump from Algebra to Calculus is pretty big because I skipped Trigonometry and Precalculus. I felt overwhelmed so I saw this choice on the Application Activity 2 I chose to go for tutoring. The tutor I chose is the Valedictorian and she could have chose to graduate as early as last year. She is currently taking this last semester here and then graduating and going to New

My math level before reading this book was a little bit rough. I have always had a hard time doing math in school. Most of the things I had trouble with was the fractions, percents, and word problems. I think this is because of these problems, I have always had a fear of math and wanted to stay away from math. Everything I tried to do to help with these fears either worked for a little while or it just never stuck with me. no matter how hard I tried to succeed in math, I always needed extra help

Memories have always been priceless and cannot be bought. These priceless items tend to stay as one in the human mind. Memories are powerful feelings that help one through tough times. One will never forget the memories closest to the heart. The poem “Forgetfulness” by Billy Collins describes memories that are slowly fading away, whereas in “Once More to the Lake” E.B. White presents a man that relives his memories through his son. Both well-written texts develop a common theme of memory through
