A Justification for Mathematical Modelling Experiences in the Preparatory Classroom
نویسنده
چکیده
Traditionally, mathematics has received little attention in prior-to-school settings, however, extensive research in the last 30 years has recognised that mathematical learning is critical to success and achievement in both school and life pursuits. Research has also documented children’s capabilities for complex mathematical thinking and reasoning, and recently curriculum has been developed that addresses young children’s competencies and potentials. This paper reviews current literature to provide a justification for the inclusion of mathematical modelling activities in preparatory settings. Mathematical modelling activities move beyond traditional problem solving to encourage children to develop and explore significant, real world mathematical ideas.

Washbacked Teacher-Learner’s Academic Behavior (the case of Iranian EFL MA Preparatory Course)
The effect of test on teachers, students, and their classroom behaviors has ever been amenable to scholarly studies. To explore such an effect, 20 professors offering MA TEFL preparation courses and 30 candidates received PLSP and APALS inventories. Paired-sample t-tests revealed significant differences. However, the respective componential multivariate ANOVA revealed non-significant and signif...
متن کاملAN APPLICATION OF FUZZY NUMBERS TO THE ASSESSMENT OF MATHEMATICAL MODELLING SKILLS
In this paper we use the Triangular and Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers as tools for assessing student Mathematical Modelling (MM) skills. Fuzzy Numbers play a fundamental role in fuzzy mathematics analogous to the role played by the ordinary numbers in classical mathematics, On the other hand, MM appears today as a dynamic tool for teaching and learning mathematics, because it connects mathematics w...
متن کاملMathematical modelling of an annular photocatalytic reactor for methylene blue degradation under UV light irradiation using rGO-ZnO hybrid
The application of heterogeneous photocatalysis in industrial scale has been hindered by a lack of simple mathematical models that can be easily applied to reactor design and scale-up. This work intends to use a simple mathematical model for predicting methylene blue (MB) degradation in a slurry-annular photocatalytic reactor using zinc oxide (ZnO) hybridized with reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-Z...

متن کاملMATHEMATICAL MODELLING FOR DICE FINDER GAME PROBLEM
Play is often episodic and mission-centric, with a series of challenges culminating in a final puzzle or enemy that must be overcome. Multiple missions played with the same characters may be related to each other in a plot arc of escalating challenges. The exact tone, structure, pace and end (if any) vary from game to game depending on the needs and preferences of the players, as in [9]. "THE C...
