| real world pythagorean theorem problems: Abstract Mathematical Cognition Wolfgang Grodd, Philippe Chassy, 2016-08-09 Despite the importance of mathematics in our educational systems little is known about how abstract mathematical thinking emerges. Under the uniting thread of mathematical development, we hope to connect researchers from various backgrounds to provide an integrated view of abstract mathematical cognition. Much progress has been made in the last 20 years on how numeracy is acquired. Experimental psychology has brought to light the fact that numerical cognition stems from spatial cognition. The findings from neuroimaging and single cell recording experiments converge to show that numerical representations take place in the intraparietal sulcus. Further research has demonstrated that supplementary neural networks might be recruited to carry out subtasks; for example, the retrieval of arithmetic facts is done by the angular gyrus. Now that the neural networks in charge of basic mathematical cognition are identified, we can move onto the stage where we seek to understand how these basics skills are used to support the acquisition and use of abstract mathematical concepts. |

| real world pythagorean theorem problems: Prealgebra 2e Lynn Marecek, Maryanne Anthony-Smith, Andrea Honeycutt Mathis, 2020-03-11 The images in this book are in color. For a less-expensive grayscale paperback version, see ISBN 9781680923254. Prealgebra 2e is designed to meet scope and sequence requirements for a one-semester prealgebra course. The text introduces the fundamental concepts of algebra while addressing the needs of students with diverse backgrounds and learning styles. Each topic builds upon previously developed material to demonstrate the cohesiveness and structure of mathematics. Students who are taking basic mathematics and prealgebra classes in college present a unique set of challenges. Many students in these classes have been unsuccessful in their prior math classes. They may think they know some math, but their core knowledge is full of holes. Furthermore, these students need to learn much more than the course content. They need to learn study skills, time management, and how to deal with math anxiety. Some students lack basic reading and arithmetic skills. The organization of Prealgebra makes it easy to adapt the book to suit a variety of course syllabi. |
| real world pythagorean theorem problems: Measuring Teachers’ Beliefs Quantitatively Safrudiannur, 2020-04-06 The use of Likert scale instruments for measuring teachers’ beliefs is criticized because of amplifying social desirability, reducing the willingness to make differentiations, and often providing less or no contexts. Those weaknesses may distort teachers’ responses to a Likert scale instrument, causing inconsistencies between their responses and their actions. Therefore, the author offers an alternative approach by employing rank-then-rate items and considering students’ abilities as one of the factors affecting teachers’ beliefs. The results confirm that the offered approach may give a better prediction about teachers’ beliefs than does a Likert scale instrument. |

| real world pythagorean theorem problems: Creating Stellar Lessons with Digital Tools Kenneth J. Luterbach, 2022-05-12 Creating Stellar Lessons with Digital Tools prepares teachers in training and in-service teachers to use technologies for design and development activities with middle and high school students. While software, open resources, handheld devices, and other tools hold great potential to enhance learning experiences, teachers themselves must model technology use in ways that inspire students to become producers and leaders rather than consumers and followers. Featuring concrete applications in social studies, English, mathematics, and science scenarios, this book provides pre-service and in-service teachers with seven paths to creatively integrate and innovate with computational thinking, datasets, maker spaces, visual design, media editing, and other approaches. |
