Unit 1: The Language Of Algebra

Each day, students do something that is a part of their circle time and it covers much of their math learning for the entire day. At the start of the day, a student is picked to be pointer and the math fun begins. They start with the calendar and count how many days they have been in school that month with one-to-one correspondence. They go over the days of the week, the month, what the previous day was, and the next day will be. The do estimation where there is jar up at the board with various small toys in it and different students get a chance to guess how many items are in the jar. At the end of the week they will find out the exact amount in the jar.

“13 Rules That Expire” by Karen S. Karp, Sarah B. Bush, and Barbara J. Dougherty, is a thought-provoking read because, for one thing, students do not actually know that these thirteen rules perish until someone notifies us. When I first read this article, it came to me as a bit of a shock. This is an article that all math teachers should read before teaching in a classroom. This article is about the rules that teachers use to teach math to younger students and how those rules will expire before they graduate from junior high school. Many teachers struggle with getting their students to understand math. Math is often one of the hardest subjects to learn. Teachers know rules that can help students, but often they forget that those rules become more nuanced than presented.

If the teacher speaks every time, students won’t learn anything because we are telling them how to solve and work on the word problem. If the students work and we assist them through question, they will understand how to solve the problem. In my first year of teaching, I was talking and giving students everything they needed to know. In this new school year, I will take my students and use the real world activities. For example: Let the students walk around and use the materials to measure the things they see in their campus. This will be a perfect way to make them visual and understand the concept of math. The students can create a real world activity in their room. Let the students think and bring out their own knowledge that they have inside to learn what the teacher is

The 1970s were a rough year for African-Americans, still fighting for social and political rights in the United States. Consequently, women still did not receive equal rights. However, in 1972, “Congress approved the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the Constitution, which reads: ‘Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex’ (History.com Staff).” Out of the thirty-eight necessary states only twenty-two ratified it right away, it was relieving for the moment because the feminist advocates had been trying to be ratified since 1923. The First African-American woman elected into Congress was Shirley Chisholm. This moment opened doors for African-American women that they thought would never have a chance. Nevertheless, the poem Ego Tripping written by Nikki Giovanni dated back to 1972 where she expresses her power throughout the poem with the support of feminist statements. Giovanni reminds the audience of historical moments that lead up to the current conditions of the United States. Ego Tripping (there may be a reason why) was published with a bundle of poetry which is entitled My House, the book of poems had a common underlying idea that Giovanni is free to do what she pleases and live by her own set of rules (Masterpieces of American Literature Ed. Steven G. Kellman.)

The QRI-4 guideline suggested Tessa begin reading the word lists at the upper middle grade level, two levels below her current grade level. However, it was necessary to test back to the fifth grade level due to Tessa’s performance on the suggested starting point. Tessa completed the fifth grade word list automatically with 90% accuracy, in the allotted time, signifying she read the words at the independent level. When analyzing the sixth grade word list, Tessa automatically identified 70% of the words, indicating she was identifying words at the instructional level. According to her performance on the upper middle school level word list, Tessa read a total score of 60% on the upper middle school grade word list, representing a frustration level. Although Tessa’s frustration level was determined, she was presented the high school word list and obtained a score of 35%.

In your dice, popsticks, 100-chart activity, form bundles of 9 and write down the pattern. What difference do you observe compared to the 10 stick bundles?

The excerpt from The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez, and the excerpt from “A 'Band-Aid ' for 800 Children" by Eli Sastow, both portray the subject of family separation. The authors of these texts use similar and different techniques to show us family separation brings negative feelings to everyone affected by this.

What Kayden and I did first is get on EV3 robot out and connect it to bluetooth, after that we did that we started to think about how we were going to find out how many rotations that we were going to need to get it from start to finish. So, we got a ruler and since we already knew one rotation was equal to 7 inches we guesstimate that it would be about 5 rotations. When we tried it is was still a little short of its goal, so we added 0.5 to it and it barely went over its goal. Finally we took away 0.08 and tried it and it landed exactly on its target. So our final solution was 5.42 rotations at 27% would get us from the start to the finish exactly. After that we thought about how we could have done it better, and we concluded that it could have taken less tries if we had figured out how many inches are in 0.10 rotations. Those where the results on the rotations part of the reflection on the moving straight mission.

Children need a wealth of practical and creative experiences in solving mathematical problems. Mathematics education is aimed at children being able to make connections between mathematics and daily activities; it is about acquiring basic skills, whilst forming an understanding of mathematical language and applying that language to practical situations. Mathematics also enables students to search for simple connections, patterns, structures and rules whilst describing and investigating strategies. Geometry is important as Booker, Bond, Sparrow and Swan (2010, p. 394) foresee as it allows children the prospect to engage in geometry through enquiring and investigation whilst enhancing mathematical thinking, this thinking encourages students to form connections with other key areas associated with mathematics and builds upon students abilities helping students reflect

Based on what the chapter mentioned about “universal” symbols, I can probably say, that possibly there is no such sign as a universal symbol. The example produced by the book’s author suggest that symbols can be misunderstood, for example, I can relate with the author, I would have never thought that someone would be able to confuse the ladies restroom sign, with the men’s restroom sign, yet it happen, and now I feel the need of deciphering future symbols I see to prevent confusion in my life.

The history of root finding dates back during the Islamic Golden Age. The use of the word “root” originates from an Arabic mathematician called Al-Khwarizmi who is also coined the word “algebra” during writing his first algebra book. The root findings were started when he realize the variable as the root of which an equation grows. By solving the equation, we could find the roots. It is specifically

When the imperialism of the 19th and 20th centuries revisits us now in the form of globalization, the inherent class conflict is more intense and complex than it had ever been in the past. To ensure its dominance over science, technology, economy, media, etc. for ever, Anglo-American English, the lingua franca of globalization, seeks control over all aspects of language and translation. George Steiner who tried to compose ‘a poetics of translation’ has specially discussed how the authoritarian ascendancy of English over other languages is pushing the languages of Africa and Amazonia into premature death and extinction9. Steiner is afraid that, when under the spell of market economy English brushes aside other languages, it will lose its own ability to address reality creatively.
