Often enough teachers come into the education field not knowing that what they teach will affect the students in the future. This article is about how these thirteen rules are taught as ‘tricks’ to make math easier for the students in elementary school. What teachers do not remember is these the ‘tricks’ will soon confuse the students as they expand their knowledge. These ‘tricks’ confuse the students because they expire without the students knowing. Not only does the article informs about the rules that expire, but also the mathematical language that soon expire.
Especially, using talking circle to introduce new math topics would be an effective way to enhance students’ number fluency and get them comfortable with explaining their thought process by using students' prior knowledge. Talking circles could also be helpful to review materials before an assessment by discussing questions and answers with students as a group. By exploring different perspective of talking circle the teachers can best implement the discussion format in their classroom to help minimize stratified talk and support mathematics learning for all
In math gives students a chance to share different methods and angles for solving mathmatical equations. In english, students can analyse characters from different points of view. In every class, students will learn to work together efficiently to gather and organize ideas. Sadly, some students believe "it is a waste of time listening to peers compared to listening to teachers.
The sociological concept, social norms, is applicable to the content in the article “What is social construction?” written by Paul A. Boghossian because norms are socially constructed. Social constructionism only exists because people give things reality through social agreement. Social constructionism also requires a society and is based on that specific society, varying depending on the needs or values of that group of people. Norms are socially constructed expectations that effect individual’s behaviors and influence why people act certain ways depending on the context of the situation. Social norms could not possibly exist without the presence of a society.
Sociology has its unique continual fascination in that the social interactions between people never stop. Especially in a group, people tend to become assimilated and take on the behaviors and attitudes of the others even if they are passive. That is, people might not even realize social norms when they reach consensus on how to behave on a specific occasion. As a crucial component of culture, norms are usually ignored. For this reason, ethnomethodology is a practical approach in sociology to uncover social norms by disrupting which people take for granted to see how others react.
That’s the only way for them to learn during the time spent solving problems in a group”(Cazden, 2001, p.89). From listening to their peers, students not only learn how to solve a problem using a correct strategy, but also learn how to think critically as to whether others’ ideas are correct or not. Second, students can develop their talking skills mathematically and socially through sharing mathematical ideas in public (Lampert, Rittenhouse, & Crumbaugh, 1996). Current research evidence also indicates that students who are given opportunities
In this discussion, I would like to analyze two sets of STEM subjects: the common core standards of Mathematical Practices and the ISTE Standards, which are focused on technology. The ISTE Standards emphasize the competences needed for learning, teaching, and leading in the digital world, providing a roadmap for success in technology within schools. These standards ensure that achieving success in technology leads to impactful, sustainable, accessible, and equitable experiences for students in education. Similarly, the Mathematical Practices focus on the knowledge that mathematics teachers need to provide techniques that promote critical thinking and proficiencies with a long history in mathematics (National Governors Association, 2010).
Imagine being perceived in a way were almost everyone thought one lived a catastrophic life based on the school they went to. A stereotype is an image of a person or group of people that is labeled or seen in a specific way by a range of people. Although stereotypes come with some legitimacy, another way groups and individuals are judged or viewed differently is by misconceptions. False interpretations forming from misunderstood ideas or thoughts are misconceptions. Stereotypes have come from past generations which are now influenced from media such as movies, tv shows, and social networks.
The incorporation of hands on learning opportunities relevant to students’ everyday lives provides a personalised learning experience. I believe it is extremely important that student learning incorporates equality and family values and beliefs, which allows students to incorporate their prior learning experiences to feel accepted and valued within the classroom. This encourages students to grow from their previous life experiences whilst incorporating new knowledge. This is incorporated within the unit design of measurement as students can use their measurement knowledge and skills at home to cook a traditional family meal or build something out doors with the family, to enhance their learning, and share this will fellow students to enhance their learning when in the classroom. My personal pedagogical philosophy within the unit provides students with the feeling of equality where differentiation occurs in every lesson when needed, to cater for the diverse learning needs of all students, therefore, eliminating mathematical anxiety for all
As a child, in school you never think of math rules ever expiring. This make you question the fact why teacher still teach these rules if they are going to expire when we enter middle school. This make you ask yourself does math rules expire. Does the rules we learn in elementary school matter?
Is it possible to create a school community where conformity doesn’t rule the school, I do think that it’s possible to create a school community where conformity doesn’t rule the school. This week i saw people doing things that they don’t usualy do I saw people being nice. In my own expreince this week I was not having a good morning it was just one of those days where everything is going wrong and i come into the classroom and there is a box of candy sitting on my desk. Let’s just say i had pretty good rest of the day.
In today’s education system, there is an ongoing debate concerning conformity and individuality. The majority of schools conform to similar curriculum as a means of ‘leveling the academic playing field’ and giving all students a fair and equal chance of success. But does this sense of conformity actually benefit students? While it is necessary to have some conformity in the curriculum taught to students nationwide, there should be an aspect of individuality as well. Schools should adopt a more individualistic approach towards the classes students must take, and less of one concerned solely on test performance, because it would benefit students upon graduation by allowing them to pursue studies that interest them, and also benefit the school
In reading the material provided for this unit, I discovered that “norms” is a term used to describe what the majority of society considers to be acceptable behavior, such as verbal and physical actions while interacting with others. Notwithstanding, this can vary immensely, depending on a number of factors, such as location, heritage, societal status, etc. (Bohm & Vogel, 2011). Consequently, the “norms” in general tend to be what guides the laws that are implemented and is the reason that there are an abundance of laws that are different from state to state and municipality to municipality.

Social norms have been used as a way for society to get individuals to conform to what it sees as correct behavior. These correct behaviors are taught and adopted through several interactions one being social control. Social control is the positive or negative reaction that one gets as a result of performing a behavior that either deviates or confirms to social norms. Two types of social norms, descriptive and prescriptive, have been seen to have an influence on social control. Thus, the researchers in this article sought to study how norms influence social control.
