NY State Learning Standards: Mathematics, Science, and Technology
Standard 1: Analysis, Inquiry, and Design
• Students will use mathematical analysis and scientific inquiry to seek answers and develop solutions.
Materials:
Mathematics Textbooks (page 401)
Notebooks
Pencils
Different colored chalk
Objectives: Students will be able to name and write equivalent fractions by multiplying and dividing.
Procedure:
1. Ask students – What does equivalent mean?
2. Point out that we have already used fraction strips to show equivalent fractions.
3. Explain that we are now going to use multiplication and division to write equivalent fractions.
4. First, start with multiplication and show an example of how to make an equivalent fraction. Remind students that what we do to the top we must do to the bottom (signal hands up….hands down)
5. Use one color of chalk to show what you do to the numerator and another color to show what you do to the denominator.
6. Put another example on the board and ask a volunteer to help write an equivalent fraction.
7. Point out that the number we use to multiply can be any number, as long as what you do to the top, you do to the bottom.
8. Go over multiple examples together and assign textbook examples. Go over various answers.
9. Call students up to the board to show some answers.
10. Go on to show equivalent fractions using division.
11. Explain that the first step in finding equivalent fraction using division is to find the factors of both the numerator and denominator.
12. Circle the common factor and divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number….because what you do to the top, you must do to the bottom.
In the silent era of Brockmeier’s city, individuals grew into a lethargic existence, “The drunks in the bars turned amiable and mild. The jails were unusually tranquil...The great roar of the city had stopped, [the birds in cockfights] becoming as useless as pigeons, virtually impossible to provoke to violence” (Brockmeier 53). Indeed, “The silence was beneficial for us” as suggested by modern science, but people began to remember what they lost: “the fire, the vigor, that came with a lack of ease” (Brockmeier 61). To be more concise, this fire and vigor came with the difficulty and the thrill of the chase, “Our lives seemed no less purposeful than they had during the silence, but it was as if that purpose were waiting several corners away from us now, rather than hovering in front of our eyes” (Brockmeier 62). Of course, while Brockmeier is merely describing these traits as a benefit or asset of silence or noise respectively, it could be applied with relevancy to the state of the individual. Meditation is only gaining popularity while “low-noise” becomes a commodity sought after; however, perhaps in the hunt of silence, individuals often neglect to learn the ability to thrive in dissonance. While Brockmeier reminds us of the
Tillie Olsen's novel “Yonnondio: From the Thirties” portrays complex layers of physical and psychological conflict and the result is a haunting work of social criticism. Yonnondio is, among many things a protest novel and is representations of poverty, violence, and exploitation convey its protest. Social criticism, in literary context, means seeing literature as a reflection of the environment. Examples of social criticism include: struggles of the poor, oppression of the working class, and even civil rights struggles. Social criticism is not historical criticism. Social criticism examines literature in the cultural, economic, and political context in which it is written or received. There are several themes, symbols, and instances in the story that add to the social criticism displayed in the story. Olsen uses the theme poverty, which contributes to the idea of social criticism in the story
One must multiplied “x” times “x” to equal to “x^2”. Next, “x” is to be multiplied by negative “√(x^2-1)”, which equals to negative “x√(x^2-1) ". Then, “√(x^2-1) " is to be multiplied by positive “x” , which equals positive “x√(x^2-1"). Finally, "√(x^2-1)” is to be multiplied by negative “√(x^2-1)”, which equals to “x^2-1” because the square root cancels out. Once the terms have been distribute,
Frida was an amazing artist and courageous women. Through all the heartaches and tragedies she went through during her life, she managed to stay strong and follow her dreams of being a well know artist and painter. She was a beautiful and incredible artist with such creativity and heart. To see such raw emotion come from someone who went through hell and back, she remained true to herself. I wish I had half the passion she did for life.
Latane and Darley (1968) investigated the phenomenon known as the bystander effect and staged an emergency situation where smoke was pumped into the room participants was in. Results showed that 75% of participants who were alone reported the smoke, whereas only 38% of participants working in groups of three reported (Latane & Darley, 1968). Their findings provide evidence for the negative consequence of the diffusion of responsibility. In line with the social influence principle, bystanders depend on reactions of others to perceive a situation as an emergency and are subsequently less likely to help. Latane and Darley’s findings were also supported in recent research: Garcia and colleagues (2002) found that even priming a social context by asking participants to imagine themselves in a group could decrease helping behaviour. It can be contended that these findings are examples of social proof where individuals believe actions of the group is correct for the situation, or examples of pluralistic ignorance where individuals outwardly conform because they incorrectly assumed that a group had accepted the norm (Baumeister & Bushman,
are said to be in the same ratio, the first to the second and the third to the
Frida and Artemisia are both sensational women artists from before I was born. Artemisia Gentileschi once said, “My illustrious lordship, i’ll show you what a woman can do.” Frida and Artemisia were both very powerful women and they showed that through their artwork. These women are very similar and yet very different at the same time.

Florence Nightingale is a very prominent person in the medical field. She had a strong desire to devote her life to helping others. She is known as the founder of modern medicine. The Nightingale Pledge is taken by new nurses and was named in her honor. The annual International Nurses Day is celebrated on her birthday. Without her contributions healthcare would not be what it is today.
To this day, the most admired person in nursing history would be Florence Nightingale. She will forever be an influential figure in the world of nursing due to her perseverance and critical thinking skills that saved so many lives during the Crimean War. There is no way to tell how long it could have taken nursing to evolve without the help of Nightingale. In her book, Notes on Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not, Nightingale described a multitude of factors that must be considered when helping the ill to recover and to have the healthy maintain their well-being (Nightingale, 1860/1969). Four chapters in her book are of high importance, chapter two, on Health of Homes, chapter
Bystander effect, (Darley & Latane, 1970) refers to decrease in helping response when there are bystanders around relative to no bystanders. Referring to previous study stating that there are some cases of which group size may promote helping instead of hindering it (Fischer et al., 2011). Researchers then speculate the possibility of positive influences from bystanders by taking public self-awareness into consideration. Researchers proposed that high public self-awareness would reverse the bystander effect in this study with 2 independent variables which are bystander and presence on the forum. They are defined as number of bystanders (absent vs present) and salience of name (salient vs non-salient) respectively. 86 students are randomly assigned to one of the four conditions in the experiment. Response of participants in the online forum is the operational definition for the dependent variable of helping behavior. The result shows that number of response increases with respect to increase in bystanders when public self-awareness is enhanced by using accountability cue (Bommel et al., 2012). Participants were asked to rate how notable they were from their view afterwards as a manipulation check.
Art could be displayed in many different forms; through photography, zines, poetry, or even a scrapbook. There are many inspirational women artists throughout history, including famous women artists such Artemisia Gentileschi and Georgia O’Keeffe. When searching for famous female artists that stood out to me, I found Frida Kahlo, and Barbara Kruger. Two very contrasting type of artists, though both extremely artistic. Both of these artists are known to be feminists, and displayed their issues through painting and photography. Frida Kahlo and Barbara Kruger’s social and historical significance will be discussed.
This problem has parentheses, exponents, and multiplication. The first set of brackets is a symbol of product. It indicates that the second set is multiplication. Grouping symbols are handled first.
Living a healthy life style is challenging and stressful but it shouldn't be that way. Starting off slow and allowing your body to get accustomed to such changes will help you enjoy yourself more with these new changes. Changing one dish you eat to something healthy is a great start. Keeping yourself happy while putting healthy foods into your body or exercising will further your success. I’ve come to realize that your outlook on things will effect how much effort you put into it. Keeping yourself active and motivated is crucial to such a change. Making schedules or goals for yourself weekly and trying to fulfill those goals will help you accomplish more. If you manage to fulfill each of those goals, allow yourself one of you're favorite cheat foods. Keeping healthy is all about working with what you know and how willing you are to keep going and challenging yourself to new
As with every academic subject, there are a variety of strategies for teaching mathematics to school-aged students. Some strategies seem to be better than others, especially when tackling certain topics. There is the direct instruction approach where students are given the exact tools and formulas they need to solve a problem, sometimes without a clear explanation as to why. The student is told to do certain steps in a certain order and in turn expects to do them as such at all times. This leaves little room for solving varying types of problems. It can also lead to misconceptions and students may not gain the full understanding that their teachers want them to have. So how can mathematics teachers get their students to better understand the concepts that are being taught?
