...Developing Mathematics Learning Skills Sharon Kidd College Algebra – MTH1090XB Instructor – James Baldone November 19, 2010 Developing Mathematics Learning Skills Introduction Mathematics skills play an important role in our lives. To understand math we must read our math books, and understand the use of technical terms like equation, integration and many more. Understanding terms is only part of learning mathematics skills. Comprehension and analysis is needed to understand math concepts. You cannot learn mathematics by being a spectator; you must perform the calculations yourself. Reading a solution in a book and watching someone else solve the problem is not sufficient, although it helps, you must use your brain to solve the problems and write out the full solution. If you are provided with the answers to a math problem or problems you may be able to see how each answer fits, but it is very different working out the problem yourself. The real understanding is if you can do the necessary work yourself or not. Mathematics Study Skills Knowing mathematical principles and concepts can help you to succeed in school and work. It is important to use study skills that apply well to math. The following are some study skills that should be utilized: * Study math everyday during the semester. * Have a specific time and place to study with few distractions. * Keep up to date with homework. * Find an...

...Curricular Components Teachers need to apply the three UDL principles to four curricular components: Goals (learning expectations) Learning goals are important facets of the UDL framework as they guide lessons and student outcomes. It is important that goals are clear and take student differences into account. They allow teachers to offer students various options and provide alternatives through scaffolding, pathways, and strategies. Goals developed through traditional curriculum focus on the content and performance of goals whereas UDL goals focus on developing student skills. For example: A traditional learning goal for a history lesson would be: The students will quietly read a chapter about World War II and write a 500 word handwritten response about the causes of the war. A UDL goal would be: Students will learn about and present information about factors contributing to the causes of World War II. The main goal of the lesson is for students to learn about the factors that contributed to the start of...

...Jigsaw teaching is a teaching strategy that involves students working individually and cooperatively to complete a project. Here are the steps to the jigsaw teaching strategy. Step one: First divide the students into equal groups if possible. For example: if there are 20 children in a class there can be five groups with four students per group. The groups should be arranged in advance. This is to help make sure that they are compatible. The student groups should be diverse so that there different abilities, races, and genders per group. This helps the groups to be able to learn from each other. Step two: Assign each group a leader. The leader should be someone who can help guide the group and be able to give good direction in helping the group’s individuals learn what they need to know to be able to teach their part to the other groups. This is done so that a teacher does not always have to be right there all the time. The leader of the group should be the most mature of the group. Step three: Give each group a separate assignment that is related but not the same as the other groups. The groups will be as follows. Group one will be given the task of researching the animals of the salt marsh. Group two will be given the task of describing what a salt marsh is and where it is located. Group three will be given the task of describing the tides, the changes in the tides, and the effect it has on the salt marsh ecosystem. Group four with research and describe the salinity of the...

Assignment 2: Formal Outline Due Week 4 and worth 150 points The purpose of the Formal Outline is for students to organize their research and show the topical areas that they will cover throughout the Research Project. By breaking down the literature into various sections, topics, sub-topics, and details, students can divide large amounts of data into smaller, more orderly sections. The Formal Outline helps students organize their thoughts, stay on topic, and follow a logical order. It also provides students with the opportunity to show a progression of thought and direction, and can highlight specific areas of the Research Project that may need more or less attention.
