Bridging K-12 and University Mathematics: Building the Staircase from the Top
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article is written to promote a didactic idea of connecting computer-enabled experiential approach to K-12 mathematics with the applied, project-based teaching of undergraduate university mathematics as a way of encouraging students to participate in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) workforce of the future. It reviews current body of research on how to bring engineering and science into the K-12 mathematics curriculum. The notion of recursion is used as an illustration of how one can bridge K-12 and university mathematics in the context of STEM education. The ideas presented in this article, though based on a North American experience, can be used within a broader international context. ZDM Subject Classification (2010): R20

On Total Edge Irregularity Strength of Staircase Graphs and Related Graphs
Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a connected simple undirected graph with non empty vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). For a positive integer k, by an edge irregular total k-labeling we mean a function f : V(G)UE(G) --> {1,2,...,k} such that for each two edges ab and cd, it follows that f(a)+f(ab)+f(b) is different from f(c)+f(cd)+f(d), i.e. every two edges have distinct weights. The minimum k for which G ...
متن کاملSafety risk assessment and ranking in the construction projects with F.M.E.A and fuzzy T.O.P.S.I.S
Abstract Introduction: Construction projects are one of the most important sectors of the economy of the country, which has a high capacity for job creation. Construction projects are part of a huge and strategic set of civil engineering projects that unfortunately have a large share of work-related accidents due to lack of attention to safety. One of the most important issues that can contrib...
متن کاملBridging the ‘Two Cultures’ of Research and Service: Can Complexity Theory Help?; Comment on “Experience of Health Leadership in Partnering With University-Based Researchers in Canada – A Call to ‘Re-imagine’ Research”
This commentary addresses Bowen et al’s empirical study of perspectives of Canadian healthcare staff towards research and their call for multi-faceted action to improve misalignments in the system. This commentary argues that tensions and misalignments between research and service are inherent and can never be eradicated. Building on previous work by Lanham et al, I pro...
متن کاملInfluence of Magnetic Wire Positions on free convection of Fe3O4-Water nanofluid in a Square Enclosure Utilizing with MAC Algorithm
The augment of heat transfer and fluid of buoyancy-driven flow of Fe3O4-Water nanofluid in a square cavity under the influence of an external magnetic field is studied numerically. Cold temperature is applied on the side (vertical) walls and high temperature is imposed on the bottom wall while the top wall is kept at thermally insulated. The governing non-dimensional differential equations are ...
متن کاملEnsemble-based Top-k Recommender System Considering Incomplete Data
Recommender systems have been widely used in e-commerce applications. They are a subclass of information filtering system, used to either predict whether a user will prefer an item (prediction problem) or identify a set of k items that will be user-interest (Top-k recommendation problem). Demanding sufficient ratings to make robust predictions and suggesting qualified recommendations are two si...
