Using SEI Strategies in a SIOP Lesson Plan Fawn L. Stevens Grand Canyon University: ESL 533N February 17, 2014 The class is learning about Native Americans. I am working with their science, language arts and math teachers. All the other teachers are also discussing Native Americans in their classes. Today's lesson is about the Navajo Indians. The students will be conducting research in a small group setting on some basic facts about the Navajo Indians and presenting their findings to the class when they are done.
Blinder’s essay was thought out and written properly on one point I think was off. Blinder referred to the “No Child Left Behind” as an institution set up to help student get ahead, when that very program nulls the thinking of students. Alan Blinder will need college students to work “on developing a creative workforce that will keep America incubating”(Blinder 12) but within the No Child Left Behind Act students are forced to learn at the same pace as the slowest student in the room, which does nothing for the new innovator of tomorrow who will become bored with school after having to slow there pace of learning. If Alan would have used this act as a part of his reform in the educational system it would have supported his claims of the system that we already have is hurting of future and not insuring that our younger generations will be able to compete in this
Graded Assignment Unit Test, Part 2 Answer the questions below. You may use a drawing compass, ruler, and calculator. When you are finished, submit this test to your teacher by the due date for full credit. (8 points) Score 1. Write a paragraph describing the relationship between triangles and circles.
Knowing about common percentages, decimals, and fractions is extremely important in chemistry, as it is in any science or math subject. “As a technician, you work in a very fast paced environment. It would be very helpful to have certain fraction and decimal equivalents memorized so that you can quickly make these switches when necessary.”, says Jeff Blackburn (6) To those struggling, apathetic-towards-fractions pupils who are thinking, “I’ll never need to know how to change these decimals”, those in the field of medicine are constantly using the knowledge that they learned in grade school. Finally, conversions are another type of math used in a pharmacy. Compare it to making a cake: if one adds two liters of milk instead of cups, the pastry would be completely ruined, or strange tasting at the very least.
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. It consists primarily of arithmetic or computation and it is about finding answers to questions such as “17 is what percent of 9,and so that it is all about “solving for x” and memorizing formulas. The question is what is constructivism and does it effect student in math courses? Constructivism inn math terms is intuition into the theory that mathematical entities do not exist independently of our construction of them . Basically its saying that math is expressed in a different way to children than how adults intake math information.
They can’t, and for the most part won’t, do arithmetic unless they have a calculator. The most crucial years of your school life are your first three years. Sticking to the core basics of an elementary education is the best we can do for our school children right now. If you give a kindergartener, first, second or third grader a laptop today how are they going to pay attention to the teacher to learn about the core basics that you need in everyday life? There are several schools throughout the United States and Canada who think that learning the core basics by computer will give students better grades and if they struggle along the way the teacher will be able to help them with the weak spots; something the teacher should be teaching the students to begin with so there are no weak
And I want to tell a truth about me, and maybe lots of students are like me. When I was a student in Grade 9, I had 9 class every day, and I had at least 3 math class in each day. That time, we did not have time for noon break every day because we had to do math exam. The way of teaching is another important factor. In other parts of the world ,the math teacher focuses more on the ability of learning by oneself.
Promoting Literacy and Comprehension The ways of traditional teaching are a thing of the past. In today’s classrooms teachers are working hard to find new and exciting ways to engage the students, promote learning, comprehension and writing. However, even with the stimulating activities and lessons students will continue to ask the same question, “Why do I have to learn this? When will this ever be a part of real life?” Teachers must be prepared to explain to their students exactly how math, reading, science, and history will all be a used outside of a classroom setting and in the real world. 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.
In mathematics learning with STEM approach that means insert elements of Science(S) - Technology(T) - Engineering(E) - into Mathematics(M), the application of students trained to think science (Science) then use technology such as computer, calculator, Internet, etc. (Technology) and using the skills of design in completing a project (Engineering). One example of the STEM application as a mathematical learning approach is on the material of trigonometric ratio. In the learning, students are given a project to measure a building. The teacher provides a worksheet that contains steps of workmanship.
We sat down and worked out a solution we ordered a new computer, we only hope this helps us get more college work done and in a timely manner leaving us with less stress. Loosing days at work to go to school has put a huge struggle on me even though I know school is important. But having less money come in is a huge stressor that I have not found a way to deal with except telling myself that after I get an education I will get a better job. After sitting down and thinking very hard about this I have developed my action plan. One big thing that seems to help people deal with stress is going to the gym.
