Recommended: Pythagoras theorem and its invention

"Mathematics standards for instruction apply to all mathematics courses in all grades K-12. Standards set high expectations for all students to ensure that Tennessee graduates are prepared for the rigorous demands of mathematical understanding for college and career" (Mathematics. (n.d.). Therefore, knowing how to incorporate Math in a CTE lesson is also one of the most important duties of a CTE teacher, because Math is used in everyday life. By encouraging the students to learn Math through using it in the CTE lesson, the teacher is helping them see the importance of Math in real life situations, beyond high school. The standards and strategies I would employ when it comes to using Math during a CTE class about solar energy, panels and systems are: "Standard 1 – Mathematical Processes and Standard 4 – Geometry & Measurement and Define, evaluate, and compare functions" Mathematics. (n.d.). …show more content…

One of the first standards I would follow during the course of this lesson would be to use the Pythagoras’s theory, as well as analyzing and solving linear equations to ensure the students know how to make sense of problems and how to persevere and solve them. This is a good chance to show my students the equations that have not been solved so far and that could change our world, if they will ever be solved. I believe this standard truly reflects what Math and school is all about and what they should focus on. I would demonstrate problem concepts and solutions to familiarize my students with the various calculations needed to solve the mathematical and scientific sides of the solar energy, panel and system from a Math and Physics calculations point of

    In Principles to Actions (NCTM, 2014), NCTM states that effective teaching of mathematics builds fluency with procedures on a foundation of conceptual understanding so that students, over time, become skillful in using procedures flexibly as they solve contextual and mathematical problems. National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) stated in 2000 that students in grades three through five are expected to a) develop fluency with basic number combinations for multiplication and division and use these combinations to mentally compute related problems and b) develop fluency in adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing whole numbers. A majority of students

    Mathematical dialogue within the classroom has been argued to be effective and a ‘necessary’ tool for children’s development in terms of errors and misconceptions. It has been mentioned how dialogue can broaden the children’s perception of the topic, provides useful opportunities to develop meaningful understandings and proves a good assessment tool. The NNS (1999) states that better numeracy standards occur when children are expected to use correct mathematical vocabulary and explain mathematical ideas. In addition to this, teachers are expected

  • Solar Boat Project Essay

    We are assigned a task and a time was given to present it. Being as an engineering student the practical work which we will do will make us learn more and we will get to know how we can improve in future. The more we will do practice the better the result will be. During the competition we all saw that winner of the boat racing has good design and did spent some time to make it work more efficient. Apart from that it was observed the sun has major role in happening of the race.. Some groups they had a superb design of the boat but unfortunately couldn’t perform well at the time of competition due to the sunlight issue because it depends on the solar panel connection too how are we going to connect it either in series of parallel. It was noticed that parallel connections were more useful in racing than series connection. We unfortunately couldn’t done boat testing because of assembling of the boat parts finished a bit late due to delay from group members and when it was completed there wasn’t enough sunlight which can provide us testing. Adjusting the coupling and shaft angle give us some bit of trouble but it was later adjusted and boat performed

  • Numeracy Essay

    1596 Words  | 4 Pages

    The prominence of numeracy is extremely evident in daily life and as teachers it is important to provide quality assistance to students with regards to the development of a child's numeracy skills. High-level numeracy ability does not exclusively signify an extensive view of complex mathematics, its meaning refers to using constructive mathematical ideas to “...make sense of the world.” (NSW Government, 2011). A high-level of numeracy is evident in our abilities to effectively draw upon mathematical ideas and critically evaluate it's use in real-life situations, such as finances, time management, building construction and food preparation, just to name a few (NSW Government, 2011). Effective teachings of numeracy in the 21st century has become a major topic of debate in recent years. The debate usually streams from parents desires for their child to succeed in school and not fall behind. Regardless of socio-economic background, parents want success for their children to prepare them for life in society and work (Groundwater-Smith, 2009). A student who only presents an extremely basic understanding of numeracy, such as small number counting and limited spatial and time awareness, is at risk of falling behind in the increasingly competitive and technologically focused job market of the 21st Century (Huetinck & Munshin, 2008). In the last decade, the Australian curriculum has witness an influx of new digital tools to assist mathematical teaching and learning. The common calculator, which is becoming increasing cheap and readily available, and its usage within the primary school curriculum is often put at the forefront of this debate (Groves, 1994). The argument against the usage of the calculator suggests that it makes students lazy ...

  • Analysis Of CCE

    2987 Words  | 6 Pages

    This paper serves to examine and analyze the change process of implementing CCE (Character and Citizenship Curriculum) in one of the MOE CCE Pilot Schools in 2012. In doing so, the analysis will scrutinize the change process and outcome of implementation against the theoretical lens offered by Garry Hoban’s change frame, Michael Fullan’s factors for implementation and insights into change, as well as Evan’s substance of change. Using these theories to interpret the variables that affect the process and outcome of change, I hope to evaluate the importance of the complexity paradigm in the context of school change. In other words, this analysis on implementation of CCE Curriculum will attempt to examine the traditional linear and mechanistic approach towards school change against a post modernist social and school reality that could not simply be managed or controlled in a reductionist manner.

  • Solar Energy

    1396 Words  | 3 Pages

    Solar energy is a renewable natural source of power that can be used to refuel vehicles but can also heat and light homes; which can potentially enable users to not rely on public utility companies to supply power. The creation of solar energy requires little maintenance. Once the solar panels have been installed and they are brought up to maximum efficiency there is little else to do to ensure they are in working order. As governments are doing their part by encouraging citizens to recycle, they also realize the importance of creating renewable sources of electricity; worldwide and locally they offer rebates and monetary incentives to those who install solar panels and solar hot water systems. Solar energy facilities can generate electricity whether there is sun shining or not. As the advancements in solar technology and the price of solar electricity begins to go down, tra...

  • Solar Power: The Future of Energy

    I am certain that all have heard of the terms greenhouse gases, fossil fuels, and global warming. Have you ever questioned what will happen if nothing is done about the environmental problems facing the world today? What if I answer you that, we can merely use the power from the sun to power up our entire planet without the use of harmful energy sources, which affect our atmosphere? The power from the sun is what we call solar power. Solar power is the energy that comes from the sun as light and heat energy, and then it is later converted into electrical energy through solar panels (Nelson, 2008).
