advantages of the Hindu-Arabic system over all the other systems. Fibonacci was one of the first people to introduce the Hindu-Arabic number system into Europe. It was the positional system that we currently use today based on ten digits with its decimal point and most importantly a symbol for zero. In the new system the order of the number mattered since for example, twenty-five is completely different than fifty-two. The position of each digit was significant, therefore zero was needed to get…

various new math ideas are presented and many students can face difficulties when new material is introduced. Difficulties are especially displayed when it comes to discovering decimals. Although decimals are introduced in fourth grade they are continuously presented in math thereafter. One common misconception held about decimals is the idea that the more digits that are presented in a number, the greater the value of the number. An example of this is students believing that 3 is less than…

Part B Diagnostic Assessment During the diagnostic assessment which focused on grade three student, Boris’s comprehension of number placement and value, Boris did well in most areas, with minimal exceptions. Boris took a great deal of time, when requested to partition the double digit the number. Though they progressed to partitioning the larger numbers in a standard and acceptable non-standard manner, they answered the two digit partitioning question with various multiplication equations.…

worked to fix concepts that were already founded by many other mathematicians. Although he did some amazing things for mathematics he was also known for his work in science, and engineering. He did things such as inventing a carriage, standardizing decimal fractions and their uses, as well as refuting the doctrine created by Aristotle that stated, that heavy bodies fall faster than lighter ones, and list of the things he's done continues. Simon Stevin, was born illegitimately sometime in…

up to a definite amount. It holds up to 7 digits. • Shouldn’t be used for currency as the decimals will represent a lower number and it isn’t exactly a big number. • Used as a number up to 7 digits. If the number does not have 7 digits, it will be rounded to have a format of 7 digits. An example is with the value 1.23456789. As you can see, it exceeds 7 digits and so is rounded to 1.234568. • Used for decimals as the pre-set value. Double An 8 data type which can hold 14 digits compared to a…

discuss about their strategy, possibly learn a strategy that may further their understanding in mathematics. One of the last activity’s we did in college numeracy played the card game with decimals. Although it was an interactive fun game it was still furthering my understanding about place value and decimals. I felt like my teacher did a very similar lesson with the dice game because the children are having fun through competition by rolling an die, it was still a game that was challenging…

Goal 1 – Students will be able to estimate and round differences. Goal 2 – Students will be able to subtract 3 and 4 digit numbers Goal 3 – Students will be able to subtract numbers with one or more zero in it.

Rounding and Truncation The teacher would award Student 1 an A for the class for earning 299 points out of a possible 334 points. The teacher will divide the number of points earned, 299, by the total possible points, 334, with the answer of 0.895. The teacher then multiplied this answer by 100 creating the number 89.5. This number is able to be rounded to the nearest ten percent, 90%. The student achieved the qualification for a grade of A. The student would not be given the grade of A if…

The audience type that will be watching this music video released by Spinnin’ Records are going to be in the C1, D and E brackets of socio economic status. I have found this to be correct as in theses brackets it will tend to be a much younger audience than in the other brackets, and from my research I have found that the average age for listening is around 24 and a good majority are under this age,…
