"Allowing pupils to divide things into 'parts of a whole' using real objects helps them move more easily onto abstract ideas, such as fractions, division, ratio and proportion. This section will help you use simple physical objects and practical activities to develop your pupils' understanding of these concepts. "
A number chart of 100 is a simple aid for helping pupils see pattern in number, and can support a wide range of learning activities. Number charts can be used for young pupils to practise counting, yet can also be used for open-ended investigations with older or more able pupils. In this section you will help your pupils to understand mathematical concepts through investigational and group work.
Statistics and probability play an important part in our lives and are particularly useful in
helping us make wise decisions. This exercise will help the students see that there are mathematical rules that can effect even our use of the English language.
GRADES/SUBJECT: Appropriate for Grades 7 though 12. Mathematics and English language.
PURPOSE: This exercise re-enforces the value of statistical research and provides an interesting view of the way people write.
Maths in Work has been designed to offer glimpses of the real world of work via video clips, to help students appreciate not only the relevance of mathematics but its importance in every day life. The clips feature the people who are actually 'doing the job' and explain some of the maths processes that they are involved with on a daily basis. There is a brief synopsis of each clip which identifies the maths topics covered, and all clips end with the simple question, "What mathematics would be involved in the work you have just watched?" The teacher is free to approach the viewing in whatever way seems appropriate to his/her circumstances.
This is more a maths than a Ml resource but...."This is an excellent place to go if you want to understand how to complete problems in basic math, trigonometry, calculus, or algebra. Mr. McKeague is a mathematician who offers clear examples on math problems through a video. He is joined by various students who also give eamples to math problems. The videos found here have super quality and would definitely help to instruct or teach difficult math explanations. This site is free, and they offer a free subscription if you plan to use the site often. When you join, you can create playlists because a login has been created for your usage." Thanx Dearlibrarian for pointing me to this! www.dearlibrarian.com
I created this page and guide to assist parents in helping their children make choices between maths and maths literacy at gr 9 level. It has a powerpoint presentation which can be used for parent evenings (with a cool joke...) Feel free to adapt and improve.
How can maths help us in our daily lives? In this exhibit, you'll look at the language of numbers through common situations, such as playing games or cooking. Put your decision-making skills to the test by deciding whether buying or leasing a new car is right for you, and predict how much money you can save for your retirement by using an interest calculator.
The goal of the course is to assemble a toolkit for helping young children develop mathematically.
The course is offered for credit at Arcadia University and for P2PU School of Math Future completion certificate to anyone in the world (open and free). Overarching themes:
Personally meaningful and relevant mathematics achieved through projects, games, problem-posing and problem-solving.
Computer-based mathematics, including interactive simulations, modeling tools, solvers, and children programming platforms.
Lifelong learning for teachers, with the focus of online communities and networks for teacher support, and building your personal learning networks
There are plenty of calculator apps in Google Play, but IDEAL WebMath is different because it shows students how to solve a problem. IDEAL WebMath can help students with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, comparing fractions, ratios, proportions, place values, and rounding.
This tool creates visualizations graphs of the data your twitter/hashtag archives. Use it to help you understand trends such as the number of Tweets over time, top users and words, sentiment, and more.
The Olympics are getting closer! What maths can you find in these activities, devised with the help of Professor John Barrow? And don't forget we have a sister website dedicated to Maths and Sport at sport.maths.org
"By the end of this section, you will have:
* explored multiplication with your pupils through visual means;
* used rectangular shapes to help pupils understand factors;
* used investigations to explore patterns in number series."
"By the end of this section, you will have:
* developed ways to use games to raise interest in mathematics;
* used a range of games to help enhance mathematical understanding and number skills."
The 30 videos offered by Mindset give a good overview of the content of the Mathematical Literacy curriculum and rich ideas for ways of teaching it in an engaging way that helps learners see how relevant this subject is for them.
Being financially-savvy is crucial to making the kind of smart money decisions key to ensuring quality of life. Help your students get up to speed on this important life skill with regularly updated K-12 lessons and other resources in this special sponsored section.
Have you thought about your organisations learning footprint?
By reducing or even eliminating the need to travel for staff training, you could see a dramatic reduction in your organisations carbon emissions. Learning Footprint is a website dedicated to helping organisations mimimise the environmental impact of their training and development programmes through the use of E-Learning.
Use the free calculator to estimate your learning footprint and see how much carbon you could save by switching a percentage of your training to E-Learning. You can even download a PDF report of the calculation to include in your next business case.
