Modular arithmetic

Background This research focuses on the pedagogy of teaching Mathematics and learners’ motivation, and how different pedagogies of teaching can affect motivation and the attitude of learners towards mathematics. As a mathematician, it is very important for me that my learners understand Mathematics and its relevance to daily life. Schleicher (2013:1) defines the importance of mathematics: “Good numeracy is the best protection against unemployment, low wages and poor health”. Learners often…

Appropriately specific brief summary of MCK Test results. It was during week three that I completed the Mathematical Content Knowledge (MCK) test for the purposes of determining my level of understanding relating to certain mathematical concepts, such as multiplication, division, addition, and place value (Curtin, 2014). Before starting, I felt overly confident in my ability to successfully answer all the questions within the quiz, however, it was not until I skimmed through the questions that…

According to my mother, I was six years old the first time I told her what I wanted to do with my life. “I want to be a teacher when I grow up!” I said to her, and I’ve been saying it ever since. I had a brief flirtation with marine biology in sixth grade, and with psychology in tenth, but in my heart I’ve always remained faithful to my one true passion: teaching. When my high school guidance counselors began asking about my career goals, teacher was always the answer I gave them, because…

Mesopotamian mathematics to modern day mathematics. Understanding the concept of zero and learning to work with it is the basis of our world today. If zero did not exist then we would not have calculus, financial accounting, and the ability to make simple arithmetic calculations. The idea of zero has crossed the imagination of great minds across the globe. Zero functions as a placeholder and the amount of zeroes after a digit can drastically change the value of the number just imagine if one…

I was supposed to report at 8:45 am as the teacher began preparing for the class few minutes before the students entered the classroom. I reached there at…

Science defines the world that we live in. Anything from making a salad to constructing roller coasters requires the involvement of science. But we as humans have not created a way to completely eradicate the error of a measurement reading. Even with all of the advancements we have made in regard to technology and scientific resources, there is no way of getting an exact measurement. This is extremely apparent when looking at chemistry laboratories. When looking at a 50 mL graduated cylinder for…

Heritage on wheels. That’s my take on the Ford Mustang. You cannot escape the evidential truth that Ford’s pony car has a great deal of history behind it, while it adroitly advances that legacy with each new model built. A Once-Threatened Species More than a half century has passed since the original Mustang took to the road, but not without a little drama through the intervening years. Indeed, the Mustang’s existence was threatened at least twice over that span, beginning with new federal…
