My results from the EYMCT, in the areas around the Australian Curriculum strand of Statistics and Probability, demonstrated that I correctly interpreted the terminology of categorical variables question. I was able to determine which answer could be categorised and although the odd answer “Average children ages in the classroom” is still related to statistics it is not a categorical variable. The same is true with understanding the terminology of mathematical statements in probability. Knowing the language surrounding statistic and probability and understand the content is a crucial knowledge that enables me to correctly answer the question and will facilitate me as an educator to pedagogically impart to the students the vocabulary, techniques …show more content…
Knaus (2013, pp. 3-80) advise that educators need to use open ended questions to trigger children’s thinking and reasoning whilst introducing language around mathematics for children to discern and make the connection between mathematical concepts and the world around. Macmillan (2009, p. 156) also suggest that educators questioning should be challenging but not threatening and does not inhibit children’s curiosity. In the EYMCT question relating to probability “Which mathematical statement is true?” I understood the mathematical probability of events occurring from the words likely and possible. As an educator in my early year’s classroom to encourage my students in using the correct vocabulary, I would have a daily weather chart where children can place visual picture representing the weather of the day underneath the words “today is” and depending on the weather forecast I would use questions such as “Is it likely to rain today?” or “Will it be impossible to see the sun today?” and children can place a visual picture of sun, cloud, rain or umbrella in the column with their deduction possible, impossible or likely and unlikely. Reys, Lindquist, Lambdin, Smith, Rogers, Falle, Frid and Bennett (2012, p. 450) inform that probability is best learnt informally by using an array of example and activities that describe the concept and educator will use the language appropriate to probability which will help children understand the concept of probability and this will enrich their vocabulary of probability. In all mathematical areas the use of appropriate language is needed, not having this ability and knowing the mathematical concept of probability, I would not be able to formulate the appropriate questions which will also prevent the integration of other leading maths strand and other learning areas of the
Stress, we all have it in our lives and for some of us it affects us in ways we do not even realise it. This causes me great discomfort as this leads me to not even have the ability to begin my tasks as I am concerned about how I will be able to complete it on time. Once I am able to resolve this predicament I will be confident enough about accomplishing all my tasks and concluding these tasks to my best effort.
There are two legal terms “search” and “seizure”. The legal term search means to examine another's premises to look for evidence of criminal activity. Under the 4th and 14th Amendments it is unconstitutional for law enforcement officers to conduct a search without a "search warrant" issued by a judge or without facts which give the officer "probable cause" to believe evidence of a specific crime is on the premises if there is not enough time to obtain a search warrant. The legal term seizure means the taking by law enforcement officers of potential evidence in a criminal case. The constitutional limitations on seizure are the same as for search. Thus, evidence
The latest action on this bill was made by House Education and the Workforce on April 29, 2015. The type of action was Committee Consideration.
For the 2020 election, I will vote for the first time in my life. Voting is an important right that most citizens will have by the time they are eighteen, and the candidates you are presented with may leave you with a difficult decision to make. Thankfully, popular presidential candidates host many events so voters are able to better understand their views and positions. So, if last year I was presented with the opportunity to vote last year, and I had to ask one of the two main candidates a question, I would ask Donald Trump when America was in a period so great that we should strive to return to it.
Matthew is a conscientious, hard-working student. He has been very dedicated this year to learning each topic in the course especially programming. This level of commitment will no doubt give great dividends in the future. He is very good at meeting deadlines, and he always does his work to a high standard. All he needs now to gain endorsement in this subject is complete the externally marked Computer Science report to a high standard.
In 1996 the largest population consisted of people aged 30-50, there were not as many people in the dependency load. In 2011, there were more people aged 40-65, who are getting close to retirement. There are not as many babies being born today as previous years because people are choosing to not have as many children. The baby boomers are getting older and there will soon be more people in the dependency load as the workforce. In 2011 there were more people ages 85 and up because nowadays people have been able to live longer.
Prior to the development of DNA technology and the sequencing of organismal genomes, Charles Darwin suggested that the “tree” of life can be traced back to a single root (Koonin and Wolf, 2012). While Darwin’s theory was primitive, it laid the groundwork for the phylogenetic trees that are currently studied in science classrooms around the world. The three-domain tree, containing Eukarya, Archea, and Bacteria, soon became too simplistic due to the realization that some bacteria possessed the ability to exchange genetic information by horizontal gene transfer (Koonin and Wolf, 2012).
After the school approved this research, all three teachers of 433 math were contacted for the possibility of the study being conducted in their classrooms. All three happily agreed to take part in this study. Approximately, three days before data collection, the teachers passed out an Opt-Out form (see Appendix I) to the students. This form allowed the students and their parents to choose not to participate in the study. All students who do not return the form participated in the Do-Now. The teacher received a manila folder with two different variations of the Do-Now, fluent and disfluent (see Appendix II and III). The folder contained the exact number of papers as students in the class. Within the folder, there was an equal number of fluent
The internal factors to be considered when planning the human resource requirements for an organisation are the internal planning force, demands for products/services, technological change, skill requirements, workforce profiles (age, gender, ethnicity, ability) and new markets. Internal planning factors are within the business to help the organisation change to cope with new methods of work or new demands; it may be the business is being introduced to new technology or new product lines. Also it maybe developing new skill so that the workforce can work more efficiently.
Under Part 4 of Section 4 we are informed when assessing capacity we must ‘permit and encourage a person to participate or to improve his or her ability to participate as fully as possible in making an informed decision which affects his future’.
a. Many phrases could accurately describe the concept of mathematics and more specifically break down the eccentric content in which math depicts different theorems and ideas that mathematics has been presented in. I would say that three phrases would be the idea of it being “complex” in its relation to always building upon another idea and the “big picture” ideas that can never be truly understood without understanding another concept on mathematics. The second phrase would be “always changing” because of the idea that mathematics has never been set in stone and is always being changed and discovered anew due to new revolutions and discoveries being made in the field every single day. The final concept is the fact that “it’s everywhere” in reference to the idea that mathematics can always be applied and found in all aspects of daily life and there is no true way to escape the concept on mathematics and the always expanding ideas it brings to society.
Every day, mathematics is used in our lives. From playing sports or games to cooking, these activities require the use of mathematical concepts. For young children, mathematical learning opportunities are all around them. Knaus (2013) states that ‘Young children are naturally curious and eager to learn about their surroundings and the world they live in’ (pg.1). Children, young and old, and even adults, learn when they explore, play and investigate. By being actively involved, engaging in activities that are rich, meaningful, self-directed and offer problem solving opportunities, children given the chance to make connections with their world experiences (Yelland, Butler & Diezmann, 1999). As an educator of young children,
I finally finished analysing all the files for the VEP data recorded on Hiro's system. It seems like the data shows reversal for all the channels and is consistent in all three recording. Attached below is the pdf containing normalized avg + sem for all 3 mice recordings, 10files each, for all 16 channels.
For the remaining parameters, we needed a tree that would not lose its readability and still provide good results; therefore, we chose a maximum depth of 7, since increasing it did not improve the results significantly, and would have made it more difficult to extract the rules and observe the results. Regarding the maximum number of bins, the default value is 32. As our variables were all continuous we could choose a lower number of bins and the one that yielded best results was
This report references the mathematics strand of the Australian Curriculum to identify, analyse and discuss specific content descriptors, elaborations, proficiency strands and general capabilities as observed in two mathematics lessons. Three best teaching practices common to the two lessons are identified and a detailed lesson outline has been created citing information accessible through the Australian Curriculum and Assessment Reporting Authority.
