Personal interview a learner social factors affecting mathematics numeracy learning Introduction Mathematics is a type of reasoning. Thinking mathematically includes thinking in a rational way, developing and checking conjectures, understanding things, and forming and validating judgments, reasoning, and conclusions. We show mathematical habits when we acknowledge and explain patterns, build physical and theoretical models of sensations, develop sign systems to assist us stand for, control, and

Mathematical Connection Mathematics has had an incredible impact on technology as we know it today. Understanding this impact aids in understanding the history of how technology has developed so thoroughly and what significant events happened to facilitate such an advanced society. A better understanding can be derived by analyzing the historical background on the mathematicians, the time periods, and the contributions that affected their society and modern society as well as specific examples

Psyched about STEM Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics otherwise known as STEM, provides the new wave of academic excellence for students of the 21st century. It is an exciting time to be scholar. STEM students enjoy a rigorous cross-curricular education that allows them to undertake competitive coursework placing them on their own playing field. STEM focuses on Biomedical Science, Engineering, and Computer Science pathways for a cross-curricular approach. Students come together

matter is likely the most significant constituent. For example, mathematics teachers need to know mathematics in a way that makes them able to teach mathematics conceptually as well as procedurally. Without a profound understanding of mathematics, mathematics teachers cannot help their students understand a mathematical concept by providing appropriate representations of it. What is more, only when mathematics teachers understand mathematics deeply are they capable of using and adapting their knowledge

THE IMPACT OF USING TECHNOLOGY ON STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT, ATTITUDE, AND ANXIETY IN MATHEMATICS Maxima J. Acelajado, Ph.D. De La Salle University Manila, Philippines e-mail: acelajadom@dlsu.edu.ph ABSTRACT This was an experimental study designed to determine the effects of using technology, specifically graphing calculators, on students’ achievement in College Algebra, attitude, and anxiety in mathematics. The respondents of the study belonged to two intact classes consisting of 66 freshman students

third grade. Though mathematics is just one of the many areas of discipline I am responsible for to teach my students, it is definitely the hardest curriculum for my students to both understand and master. With both formative and summative assessments, including the annual state standardized assessments, it seems as if every year my students are struggling more and more with understanding and applying mathematical concepts. This is also evident with an increasing number of mathematic Academic Improvement

Classroom Environment The environment of a classroom is the tone or atmosphere of the educational setting (Shochet & Smith, 2014). This tone is mostly set by the teacher of the classroom, but the students also play a role in the development of the environment. Characteristics of a positive classroom environment include organizational, instructional, and interpersonal elements (MacSuga-Gage, Simonsen, & Briere, 2012; Shochet & Smith, 2014; Spearman & Watt, 2013). The organizational elements include

deductive reasoning applied to geometry. * Discovery that a circle is bisected by its diameter, that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal and that vertical angles are equal. * Accredited with foundation of the Ionian school of Mathematics that was a centre of learning and research. * Thales theorems used in Geometry: 1. The pairs of opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal. 2. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal. 3. The sum of the angles

LEADERSHIP IN THE MATHEMATIC DEPARTMENT Executive Summary Probably leadership is the only topic that has received most of the management researcher's attention in the past four decades. This subject remains the most talked about topic year after years in management training and development, revealing the fact that leader are still seeking the secrets concerning effective leadership. "Leadership is the ability to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute to the effectiveness and success
