Changes in the teaching of the new math curricula versus the basic teachings are getting better for some student coming up learning math especially in the K-3 school. Another Phi Delta Kappan article called “Parrot Math (Criticism of Why do teachers want to use their strategies instead of learning new ideas their student come up with? The subject of the matter comes up as teachers can also learn from student as well. While a teacher teaches one way which might be long-term for a student, the student might find a different short-term way to solve their problem or equation. This is the kind of mathematics that most parents and government officials recognize as the curricula that they attempted to learn when they were in school.
In the argument “Tapping into Text Messaging” by Janet Kornblum, says teens, techies and other early adopters leading the charge to text say it is a great way to communicate when they are too busy to talk or when making a call would be rude or impractical. Just like being in the class room when there is an important incoming call, texting back is a more necessary way to get back to the person instead of disrupting the class and wasting learning time. Texting only takes a few seconds to do and could turn a 10 minute phone conversation into a 1 minute conversation. Text messaging can easily be discreet while being in the class room if turned off or on silent. As long as the student remembers to do so, their phone will not cause a distraction in class.
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.
Lopareva Ksenia 831 Whether the Internet ruined the childhood of the millennium’s children? I've already been in high school, when the Internet has finally reached our town and has started to develop, evolve, adapting to the society. I think that even my generation can already be called "the past"( regarding technology, I mean) and comparing the methods of obtaining information, which we used at school, and present-day, one can only wonder how much time we could save, whether the Internet would be the same as it is now. Talking about Internet in general, I can only note the obvious (I think) thing - I cannot imagine how we ever lived without it. What previously could take days or even weeks, now you can make in seconds - minutes with one click of your mouse.
Positives with the Internet and Growing Up The youth generation today uses the internet so much in their daily lives it has created an epidemic. The epidemic caused uproar of different ways of learning, communicating, teaching and even shopping or advertising done online. Technologies such as ipad, laptops and smart phones make internet access unbelievably easy. Since it is so easy, “Growing up Online”, a document by Frontline that aired on Januarary 18, 2008, claimed that the internet has caused many issues in the youth’s lives. One problem the internet caused stated in the documentary is, it is very hard for parents and authorities to regulate what kids do on the computer.
Retaining the knowledge of the number of rules applied to maths is a great strain on the learner. Another form of intelligent learning is achieved through formative assessment. The importance of different kinds of knowledge (schemas) which the teacher applies to the lesson allowing particular plans for differentiation of pupil knowledge and ability to help the children reach their own goals. On reading Liebeck he states that maths is a an abstract subject, you cannot understand two until you have
For example, teachers should shine light on how studying algebra actually develops stronger problem solving skills and leads students into a deeper level of thinking. If students were to see that even if they do not solve specific algebraic equations in their lives outside of algebra class, the skills that are gained by thinking on a higher level will allow them to be successful on many different levels. In today’s technology driven society relating the content to the students grows increasingly more difficult. Students in the modern classroom communicate and “operate within what they came to call “mulitiliteracies””, meaning students speak in a way that is used in computer and text message language (Ryan 192). Even in the young grades, teachers need to relate the content in which they are teaching in every way possible.
Not to mention the colorful visual and displays which increases the interaction towards the topic. (Reason why video games power up learning (June 15, 2011). Lately, video games are known to be designed as simulator or ‘learning simulator’ in which involves the user to make up his own decisions and to become protagonist in the training process. To illustrate more, the users become aware of the consequences of their decision and errors in situation that simulate reality; such games would further their job-related experience and helps them to gain self-confidence, react faster, and decrease failure percentage. The learning simulator is quiet convenient too, as the user can turn to the online platform from anyplace, instead of having to attend training sessions or classes.
How Technology Changes Thinking Back in the day our parents taught us how to walk and talk, and the next step after that was the alphabet in order for us to start connecting so that we could read. As soon as school starts the child learns how to manually count. To manually count means to count with their fingers, blocks, toys or anything to increase their brain activity. This way the child will not have to rely on a calculator because their brain automatically does all the calculations. But what if a piece of technology interferes or even reverses that early learning?
Technology in the cyber-world has been growing rapidly in recent times, and the internet has become the most useful communication and education tool. However, there is a lot of information provided in the cyber-world, both good and bad, and there is no any restriction for people using it. These conditions may cause serious risks for the internet users, particularly children and teenagers if they use it without parenting controls. This essay will discuss some problems related to the use of internet by children and teenagers and also give solution to tackle the problems concerning the serious risks. It will then explain some of the advantages and why it should not be banned by parents.
