Clinical Interview Report

On Friday December 1st, I conducted a clinical interview with two of my neighbors. During this interview I watched as they completed a couple of mathematical tasks. The tasks that they were given consisted of three problems: Marcy’s Dots, Sarah Dots, and David’s Staircase. Throughout these problems, I watched two students attack the problems in different ways, and struggle to understand, but despite their hardship, I watched them rationalize their thoughts in accordance with the skills this task required. These three problems address the Mathematical content standards 7.EE.1, 7.EE.2 and Mathematical practice standards, Problem Solving and reasoning abstractly and quantitatively.
The mathematical content standard 7.EE.1 states that students …show more content…

I never really thought about the different students that I would encounter. I knew that they all wouldn’t be like Beth, but I never thought of a student that would have a mathematical thought process like James. I know now, that every student approaches problems differently, and it has nothing to do with the way you were raised or how involved their parents are. Granted, there are some circumstances where this does have a factor, but the thought process alone changes from student to student. I enjoyed being able to assist these students in solving the problems when they were stuck, of course without telling them an exact method. I learned a lot about how to ask questions that help students find their own path to the answer. Before I had actually done the interview my thoughts were that guiding questions were not going to help my students find the answers at all. How were they supposed to solve a problem if they don’t know how and I can’t tell them? Well this experience proved me wrong. A student’s mind is very fascinating, it listens to what you say and immediately connects your question with process they’ve used in the past to help them make sense of the problem they’re working on now. If I were given a second chance to work with these students, I would’ve changed the form of the question around a bit for James because this was definitely more difficult for him due to his age. I’m can’t wait to help students in my own classroom in ways that I never thought would actually help, but help more than giving students the answer

Problem Solving Essay Shamyra Thompson Liberty University Summary of Author’s Position In the article “Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say”, the author Steven C. Reinhart shares how there are so many different and creative ways that teachers can teach Math in their classrooms. Reinhart also discussed in his article how he decided not to just teach Math the traditional way but tried using different teaching methods.

I think I am at the Pseudo-Independence stage of Janet Helm’s model of racial identity development. The town where I grew up didn’t really have much diversity and when I was younger I was oblivious to racism. I didn’t realize that racism existed until I went to high school and started working. One day at work last year the store manager told me to keep an eye on a customer.

Introduction This essay aims to report on how an educator’s mathematical content knowledge and skills could impact on the development of children’s understanding about the pattern. The Early Years Framework for Australia (EYLF) defines numeracy as young children’s capacity, confidence and disposition in mathematics, and the use of mathematics in their daily life (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), 2009, p.38). It is imperative for children to have an understanding of pattern to develop mathematical concepts and early algebraic thinking, combined with reasoning (Knaus, 2013, p.22). The pattern is explained by Macmillan (as cited in Knaus, 2013, p.22) as the search for order that may have a repetition in arrangement of object spaces, numbers and design.

I 've learned while conducting these interviews that both indivuials have similar issues within the healthcare system. one of the biggest issues both interviewees faces was the cost of healthcare and health insurance coverage. One of the interviewees has a chronic illness, and at times has to decide if she wants to purchase her needed medication or to buy groceries for herself and her family. The other interviewee although employed, doesn 't have health insurance coverage because its too costly every month. it seems they 're both appreciative of the fact there is a somewhat healthcare system with health care providers and professionals available to them, but feels its only available if you have health insurance coverage.

I had the pleasure of visiting with Mrs. Cooke’s fifth grade class during my clinical experiences. Mrs. Cooke has a great rapport with her students and has very little difficult actively engaging students in learning. One of the “takeaways” from my visit references the students’ and teachers’ commitment to the principles of “The Leader in Me”. From a school-wide perspective, East Elementary School does not practice the traditional positive behavior interventions. Instead, the administration has adopted the ideals and principles behind “The Leader in Me”.

Part B Introduction The importance of Geometry Children need a wealth of practical and creative experiences in solving mathematical problems. Mathematics education is aimed at children being able to make connections between mathematics and daily activities; it is about acquiring basic skills, whilst forming an understanding of mathematical language and applying that language to practical situations. Mathematics also enables students to search for simple connections, patterns, structures and rules whilst describing and investigating strategies. Geometry is important as Booker, Bond, Sparrow and Swan (2010, p. 394) foresee as it allows children the prospect to engage in geometry through enquiring and investigation whilst enhancing mathematical thinking, this thinking encourages students to form connections with other key areas associated with mathematics and builds upon students abilities helping students reflect
