Math vs. Zombies- Grade Level: Third. Standard: The specific content area and Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7. Description: Math vs. Zombies can be set for students to practice with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and comparison. Within the game, students must solve the simple math problem correctly and quickly enough to be able to have time to zap the zombies. The app also offers games and practice problems for students in grades kindergarten-4th grade. Having such a wide variety of content allows for the independent work in the classroom to differentiated for each student. While the majority of the class might be working on multiplication, some students might still need to be working with addition or there could be high fliers working on more complicated concepts, such as division. This app is a great resource because it grows with the children and has something for them at nearly each stage in the early math education.Bloom's Taxonomy: Bloom's Taxonomy: 3.1 Executing- Students solve multiplication equations using the process that they have previously learned and can apply it to problems that are new to them. …show more content…
Standard: The specific content area and Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7. Description: To succeed in the game, students must answer multiplication problems correctly to help the monkey stuck in the tree escape. The app really enforces the combinations that students practice with their times tables. The problems in each challenge are all going to be within the same times table, which can be good in helping them realize the pattern but also bad because they might benefit from the challenge of having the times tables mixed together. The app is straight forward and simple to use, especially for students at a third grade level. Bloom's Taxonomy: 3.1 Executing- Students use their knowledge of the times tables to solve multiplication
The realm of myths and magic have captivated the attention of masses for decades. Most of the myths and creatures originated from folklore from diverse cultures around the world. The mythological world usually contains myths and stories about fantastic beasts, immortal gods and goddesses, unearthly beings, and bizarre creatures that rule or roam the depths of the earth. Since the rise of the internet, classic myths like mermaids, vampires, dragons, werewolves, zombies, and unicorns continue to have a certain appeal to the public. Due to this advancement of technology, myths like vampires and zombies can tap into people’s needs or yearnings. Either by filling a psychological need, symbolizing the rejected and inexpungable or by creating an
The zombie race is very different. It doesn't not have many abilities and is not advanced like humans. Their behavior patterns are different. They cannot stand cold or winter weather. Their behavior is very different and difficult to calculate. They usually stand around lingering and waiting to attack when they hear something. They follow noises.Some abilities that they do have is that they have excellent hearing and can walk but aren't blind.The also can smell human blood. Zombies are generally weak but don’t underestimate what they can do to a human.

Humans have only discovered less than five percent of the ocean, while the ocean makes up seventy percent of our world. Even though we have explored so little of it, we have found very interesting creatures such as giant squids, yeti crabs, and zombie worms. None of these animals are similar in any way, not even their habitats, appearances, or diets. However they use these factors to be able to survive in sometimes extreme conditions.
In the article, “A Zombie Manifesto: The Nonhuman Condition in the Era of Advanced Capitalism” by Sarah Juliet Lauro and Karen Embry, the authors’ evaluate the idea of the zombie and its connection to capitalism and post-humanism. According to the authors, the zombie represents much more than just a fear, it represents a loss of oneself to many different things, primarily to a capitalist society. The authors have come to the conclusion that humans have a fear of what they cannot control, and that is why the zombie is so big in entertainment. We see zombies everywhere, in movies, books, tv shows, fundraisers, marathons, and so much more. They have been around for decades, but recently they have become very popular. The authors believe this is
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a real and serious condition that affects many people around the globe. One of the things that can be done to supposedly help a person dealing with ADHD is medication. But what happens when something goes wrong? There is no cure for ADHD, simply management. Doctors will talk about all the benefits of taking medication for ADHD, but some things may not be what they seem. Not many people speak of what is being called the “zombie effect” openly. There’s whispers between parents, but not much more. This has been going on for a few generations now. Is medicine advanced enough in the modern age to avoid the zombie effect? Or is there something still going on inside the minds of people heavily medicated for ADHD?
To supplement the lesson place value worksheets were given out for the students work on at home. Over the course of three days the concept was reviewed at the begging of math class before introducing similar concepts such as adding thousands and ten thousands to the place value work sheets. At the end of the unit the students were given a test that covered
Avery Wells Professor Wilkenfeld English 102 02/08/14 “All Men and Women Are Created Equal” On July 4, 1776 it was said that all men are created equal. What the Declaration of Independence failed to mention was women. This seemed to be a common theme throughout the history of America and is still a problem to this day. Men are constantly being held up on a pedestal, while women are forced to assume the position of looking up to them. Zombieland (2009) tends to take these “old school” ways and sheds a new light on the fact that women too can be equal, if not better than some men.
The following video observation and reflection, I am writing about today is based on video ten, Marshmallows. In this video, Second-graders create and discuss a bar graph based on the number of marshmallows they estimate each person in their class would eat on a camping trip. After discussing their results, students determine how many bags of marshmallows to take. In the given description for the Marshmallows video, it states that the NCTM standards outline this activity for focusing on concepts of whole number operations, statistics and probability, reasoning, problem-solving. Looking at what I observed in the video and what is listed in south Carolinas state standards I think standard 2.MDA.9 and 2.MDA.10 are appropriate. Standard 2.MDA.9
Now a high-school senior, I still remember my freshman year with a shudder; it was the year my friends and I joked about as the "Year of the Zombie." It wasn't that I had contracted a rare medical disorder that transformed me into one of the walking dead. I had done what many diligent students do: sacrifice most of my sleep time for the sake of academic success.
Today, schools in Oklahoma are being graded largely on their students’ achievement levels in four core curriculum subject areas (Oklahoma State Department, 2014). If a student fails to gain the knowledge needed in only one content area each year, then by the end of 5th grade he or she could possibly be behind in six content areas or be six years behind in one area. A number of students come into (6th grade) middle school math classes without the necessary math skills to begin the state core curriculum for their grade level (O’Byrne, Securro, Jones, Cadle, 2006 ). Oklahoma’s 6th grade math curriculum has definite expectations that must be met before a student can begin the curriculum and expect to have any success. Students entering 6th grade are expected to be proficient in operations with fractions and decimals (Oklahoma Academic Standards, 2014). During sixth grade students will learn to evaluate expressions and solve equations that contain fractions and decimals (Oklahoma Academic Standards, 2014). A need exists to find the best method to identify the students with deficiencies and address those deficiencies by adjusting instructional strategies at the beginning of the school year in order to give those students an opportunity to be successful in class and to score at the proficient level on state tests.
I flexed my mathematical muscles by testing my concentration and perseverance. The class comprised of independently timed worksheets increasing in difficulty, homework during holidays, and the tradition of redoing problems until every solution was etched in our minds. Although the class was rigorous, I was presented with the opportunity to respect accuracy and time constraints while honing my mathematical skills.
Zombies are real, but not like those in stories on the big screen. Real zombies and vampires are regular people who suffer from a mental condition called, Cotard Syndrome. Cotard's syndrome, is a rare mental disorder, those with cotard syndrome have delusional belief that they are already dead. This syndrome is also known as the Walking Corpse Syndrome. These delusions can range from believing one is dead, are putrefying, do not exist, or have lost their blood and organs. This mental disorder was brought to the attention in the 1880‘s, by Jules Cotard, who described a delusion he called “delusion of negations”. Cotard Syndrome is mostly a certain type of depression.
Children can enhance their understanding of difficult addition and subtraction problems, when they learn to recognize how the combination of two or more numbers demonstrate a total (Fuson, Clements, & Beckmann, 2011). As students advance from Kindergarten through second grade they learn various strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems. The methods can be summarize into three distinctive categories called count all, count on, and recompose (Fuson, Clements, & Beckmann, 2011). The strategies vary faintly in simplicity and application. I will demonstrate how students can apply the count all, count on, and recompose strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems involving many levels of difficulty.
If a zombie apocalypse does happen and you’ve read this guide, you will be able to survive the zombie apocalypse. And to battle your way through zombies. This guide is very the zombie apocalypse probably will not happen who doesn’t love to read about zombies. If the zombie outbreak did happen I would feel terrified because zombies could kill someone or something at any moment. I will be teaching you how to survive the zombie apocalypse.
