Wow, I am glad we use the shorter version of π =3.14 to solve our math problems but what is π really used for in today’s world? The obvious answer is π is used in almost every branch of math. If you want to find the circumference of a circle, the surface area of a cylinder, the area of a sector of a circle, any measurement of a circle, cylinder, or sphere it involves π since π was used to make the circle. So with that in mind, I thought I had a good handle on where π is used in the real world today. It is used by architects, contractors, draftsmen, building and bridge designers, engineers, or just about any job that uses shapes.
support teaching and learning Unit 312 Support numeracy development Outcome 1: Understand current national and organisational frameworks for mathematics 1.1: Explain the aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development The aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development is to ensure that all pupils understand that maths is an important part of everyday life, and will continue to be used throughout their life. Maths is taught to children in many different ways, sometimes there can be too much emphasis on the recording of ‘sums’, if this is introduced to children too early it can slow down the pupil’s progress in thinking mathematically. Maths is now taught very differently to when I was in school, because there is more emphasis now in how you arrive at the answer and finding different methods of arriving at the correct answer particularly in the early primary phase. Showing the children different methods of arriving at the answer improves their investigation skills. The mathematics curriculum is intended to give the children a better understanding of numeracy.
COSC1301 Assignment 1.2 Name: Adam Aitbouchireb On Blackboard, under Assignment 1.2, submit a word document with complete answers for the following questions. Complete Answers needed for full credit. (2 pts) Why personally do you believe it's important that you study computers? It is important that we study computers because as technology advances we will relies more and more on it and we should at least have an understanding of how it works. (2 pts) What role do computers play in your life as a student?
The 8th edition. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2006 Graphing Calculator Use Students are expected to have a graphing calculator for class work, homework, many tests and AP exam. I strongly recommend students have his/her own calculator in the TI-83 or
Format your math work as shown in the Instructor Guidance and be concise in your reasoning. In the body of your essay, do the following: * Demonstrate your solution to the above problem, making sure to include all mathematical work. * Explain why the computed weight ranges could be misleading. * Choose one of the four BMI regions and express the region using set notation and interval notation. Include a simple graph of the region.
I then of course have always had certain morals and ideas I believed were crucial to bring into the classroom, but now that I have become more educated on the subject of math which I can say that my outlook of teaching has opened up to a variety of different methods, “out of the box,” kind of thinking. I am a firm believer that all needs the tools and concepts to be the educator that all kids need to have so that they can carry on with these concepts throughout their lives as needed. The mentioned concept of the educator’s course has taught me not only the math concepts itself, but also different ways for me to teach a class and bring such concepts to life for my classes that I will hopefully teach. My goal is not to become a perfect educator teacher, but to do the best teaching I can do. By taking this course and knowing the following the Principles and Standards I will now be able to take what I’ve learned from this class and put it to use.

The aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development. The curriculum provides pupils a solid foundation in all aspects of numeracy and a Key feature of developing skills in numeracy is for pupils to understand its purpose and be able to not only learn but also apply it to real life situation which is why it is important to establish mathematical skills at a early stage. In reception classes Teachers follow through a Foundation Stage Curriculum which includes problem solving, reasoning and Numeracy for pupils 40-60+ months old. In Key stage 1, numeracy skills are developed practically in shape, pattern, counting, sorting and measuring. Teachers plan activities in order to help the pupils develop mathematical skills through exploring, playing games.
I chose to focus on the PK-2nd Grade guidelines developed by NETS for Students. It is important to keep in mind that the profile that is set up for PK-2nd grade is meant as a guide for teachers to use as “indicators of achievements at this certain primary stage (“ISTE/NETS,” 2007) and it is based on the assumption or idea that these children will have regular access to several different types of technological tools. There is a multitude of technology that is widely available for the K-12 classroom. Software as simple as Microsoft Powerpoint and as complex as Auto CAD is available for every type of classroom. Hardware such as scanners, digital cameras, and flash drives are also a tiny handful of hardware that is available.
Next, the teacher will hand out the math notes, so the students can follow along. Having math notes that students can keep in a binder and refer back to is real helpful in math. Next the teacher will ask the students to think about how many problems are on their normal math test, this number will be the bottom of the fraction. Then the teacher will ask the students for a number to put in the numerator place. Now that we have a fraction the teacher will show them how to find the percent by making an equivalent fraction.
