eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This paper presents descriptions of a variety of learning activities suitable for the elementary grades. The activities were developed by teachers, and contributed by them to this volume. Some of the activities are short while others are intended to be carried out over several days. Paper-and-pencil activities, games, and projects involving making things are included. (SD) Link til kilde

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This book was developed by teachers for parents to work through with their children. Learning activities are provided for each of the mathematics skills on the third-grade Basic Skills Test in Louisiana. Two pages of practice activities and games are provided for each skill, plus a test question similar to that on the Basic Skills Test. The topics covered include: numeration (number words, place value, ordinal numbers); whole-number operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication); fractions; relations and functions (greater than, odd and even numbers); measurement and estimation (calendar, money, time, inches and centimeters); geometry (shapes); and word problems (addition, subtraction, multiplication). Answer keys are provided. (MNS) Link til kilde

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: The objective of preschool teachers should be to determine the mathematical ability of preschool children and improve their skills using meaningful teaching methods through pictorial demonstration and manipulative models. Children who receive number concept instruction through hands-on play models, activities, and discussion show greater understanding in math skills. Teachers should be striving to create a learning environment for their students and help them fulfill their needs through their playful activities. This paper discusses how to integrate math activities into preschool classrooms. (ASK) Link til kilde

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This paper contributes to the theory and evidence that mathematical cognition is embodied. Drawing on the practices of primary teachers in South Africa engaged in a longitudinal research and development project — Wits Maths Connect–Primary — we report on aspects of lessons aimed at developing number sense through whole-class teacher-learner interaction. Two episodes are analysed from an embodied cognition perspective. The episodes focus on helping Grade 1 (6-year-olds) learners become fluent in counting forward and back or ordering numbers. Analysis reveals different embodied metaphors underlie the teachers’ actions, the nature of which are likely to lead to different learning opportunities. We conclude that our analysis supports a theory of embodied cognition, and demonstrates its usefulness as an analytical tool.

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This document contains the efforts of a group of teachers to develop curricular materials designed to correlate the subject matter of mathematics with that of a shop course in power mechanics. It is not an adaptation of traditional courses in mathematics, but an attempt to integrate the subject matter of mathematics into the concepts utilized in power mechanics classes. Content is presented under the following chapter headings: Fractions, Decimals, Per Cent, Ratio and Proportion, Directed Numbers, Formulas, Metric System, Geometry, Powers and Roots, and Shop Business. These sections of study are designed to be as inclusive as possible. Included are all activities with which a student will be involved in a teaching situation, along with evaluation materials, worksheets, guides, and other materials that will be used. Each… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This package contains student and teacher handbooks and a report summarizing a project during which the handbooks were developed as part of a numeracy education course for adult basic and literacy education students. Discussed in the project report are the following: development of the course’s 7 numeracy education units, field testing of the units with 8 teachers and 110 students, subsequent revision of the units, and production of a math literacy curriculum and companion student and educator handbooks. Included in the student handbook are a 22-item bibliography, brief discussion of the curriculum’s purpose and scope, and instructional units containing background information and learning activities on the following topics: reading, writing, and thinking about numbers; looking at numbers; estimating and rounding numbers; using calculators; measurement and its uses;… Continue Reading →
