With dedication, practice, and the right strategies, you’ll not only become more proficient in math but also in your language abilities. So, take it step-by-step, don’t be afraid to lean on technology, and remember that every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Posted onNovember 10, ...
I told them to just put a line, to fold their paper and put their first thinking and then their next thinking. They felt okay with making the first thinking messy. … if they labeled it first thinking, then they were okay with everything being messed up and not erasing it. Giving stud...
This study adopted a content-analysis method to examine the differences in how the topic of functions was handled by Finnish, Singaporean, and Taiwanese middle-grade mathematics textbooks for children aged 13–15 (seventh-ninth grade). The results showed that the three countries’ textbooks used di...
Knowing that two halves is one whole is definitely part of this understanding, but seeing where it can come from in the context of paper folding allows an opportunity for a much deeper understanding. The numerator tells that there are twice as many sections as before and the denominator (reall...
2023 has at least one exponent greater than 1 in its prime factorization so √2023 can be simplified. Taking the factor pair from the factor pair table below with the largest square number factor, we get √2023 = (√289)(√7) = 17√7. ...
When the students’ and parents’/guardians’ consent had been obtained, the students were asked to complete a 40 min mathematics assessment and then a 20 min questionnaire in a paper-and-pencil format in their classrooms. The students completed the mathematics assessment under normal examination ...
We found that the average grade given by the students was 76.5. A significant difference was found with respect to gender (women 7.9 (1.54), men 7.4 (1.8)) and scholarship (non-scholarship 7.45 (1.73) ∝=0.028∝=0.028, scholarship 7.8 (1.63), ∝=0.028∝=0.028). Students were also asked...
level, thus getting stalled at the second stage of one’s mathematical education. (Among other things, this can impact one’s ability to read mathematical papers; an overly literal mindset can lead to“compilation errors”when one encounters even a single typo or ambiguity in such a paper.) ...
On this point opinions differ. Critics of the technology say it’s all fakery and illusion. A celebrated (or notorious?) paper by Emily Bender, Timnit Gebru, and others dubs the models “stochastic parrots.” Although an LLM may speak clearly and fluently, the critics say, it has no idea...
