Principles and Standards for School Mathematics

Graduate school is my next step to improve upon what I have learned in undergraduate school and in industry. Currently, I work at Space Systems Loral (SSL) as a lead designer for the payload structure on a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) earth environmental monitoring satellite.

2009) highlighted B’s counting errors occur as counting one object in a set twice, as a result, gets an incorrect total. Similarly, McGuire, Kinzie and Berch (2012) believes that if B could correctly count using the one -to- one correspondence principle, he would have labeled each block with the correct number name. Furthermore, this highlighted that B could not keep track of objects is he has counted and of those, he has not counted(DCFS,2009). McGuire, Kinzie and Berch (2012) highlighted that

One of my beliefs is that there should be a set curriculum that all students have to learn in all subjects such as mathematics, science, reading, and history. My second belief is that the most important thing children need from early on is structure in both the household environment and in school as opposed to freedom. My third belief is that the best education is one that combines authority and liberty as opposed to one that priorities only liberty. Three authors that will be used in my beliefs

culture with a humanist outlook. Ideals from antiquity centered on the individual's intellectual potential were reexamined and expanded upon to promote the study of the liberal arts. As a result, tremendous innovations were made in the fields of mathematics, medicine, engineering, and the arts. The society and class (of the transitional period from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, coined “proto-Renaissance”) into which Alberti was born, endowed him with the intellectual and moral tendencies of

Pythagoras of Samos is often described as the first pure mathematician. He is an extremely important figure in the development of mathematics yet we know little about his achievements. There is nothing that is truly accurate pertaining to Pythagoras's writings. Today Pythagoras is certainly a mysterious figure. Little is known of Pythagoras's childhood. Pythagoras's father was Mnesarchus, and his mother was Pythais. Mnesarchus was a merchant who came from Tyre. Pythais was a native of Samos. As

raise money for the maintenance of public schools. Jefferson proposed an educational bill in 1779 to sort out leaders for the nation. Rush proposed a uniform educational system that would teach the same values and be available to all children. Webster’s proposal in 1790 called for universal education with grammatical reform. Because of the revolution, women were able to act politically and keep their role as a housewife. In the 1780’s and 1790’s, grammar schools started to allow girls to attend, and

Chapter 2: Literature Review At the research site, the IAT process has not been effective in helping students achieve mastery of South Carolina standards as defined by a grade of C or better in courses. The purpose of this school’s IAT is to identify students who are struggling academically and to work collaboratively with school personnel, parents, and students to improve student academic performance. However, this goal is not being met as indicated by current data. Identifying and analyzing

generally the most challenging for students who experience difficulties in Math. Garguilo and Metcalf (2013) discuss the need for considerable scaffolding and direct instruction when it comes to real-life problem in mathematics. The student may be able to add and subtract to a satisfactory standard, but cannot apply skills in problem solving methods. These types of difficulties are usually seen in students with ADHD. (Garguilo & Metcalf, 2013, p. 360) Studies suggest using a combination of formal and informal

citizenship, and our workplace/professions. The report then goes on to describe what statistical education should look like. The framework presented in the report is based off the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and its Principles and Standards for School Mathematics published in 2000. The framework breaks down statistical education into four main components: 1. Formulate Questions • Clarify the problem at hand • Formulate one (or more) questions that can be answered with data
