...Assignment Five Differentiated Assessment By Ashford University The Unit Goal that aligns with the Common Core State Standards Kindergarten students will count from 1 to 100 by ones with at least 70% accuracy ten out of ten times by the end of the first-grading period that is usually a quarter, October 10, 2014. Kindergarten students will count from 1-100 by tens with minimum of 70% accuracy ten out of ten times by the end of the first-grading period, October 10, 2014. How will mastery be measured? Students will demonstrate knowledge by creating snack time refreshments for the entire room, students, staff, visitors if any, all will be the same number of crackers or grapes; even if the diabetic girls cannot eat the prepared snack. As they hand they snack which are to have ten of the main “course” to the individuals, hand them the snack plate, counting by ten as they hand the plate to the recipient. First person, they’ll say ten; next recipient they’ll say twenty; and so forth until ten people have received snack, and the student has reached the 100 by tens goal. Specific Outcome At the end of this quarter, October 10, 2014, you will be able to: prepare snack for a classroom by equal distribution of the main food item, whether it be celery, crackers or grapes. Students’ will decide which snack will be served (motivation) (Puckett, K., 2013, p. 21). They will place ten-snack items on the snack plates for each in the classroom at snack time. Measurable...

...mathematical mind from a French philosopher Pascal and developed a revolutionary math learning material for children as young as 3 years old. Her mathematical materials allow the children to begin their mathematical journey from a concrete concept to abstract idea”. With reference to the above statement please discuss how these children utilize their mathematical mind as part of their natural progression, to reason, to calculate and estimate with these Montessori mathematical materials in conjunction with their aims and presentations? The child doesn’t learn mathematics only through Montessori, but he learns it from the day he was born or even before that. It is a known fact that an embryo can hear its mother. When a mother says ‘the baby kicked me 4 times’, the baby can understand this in her womb. After the baby is born people often tell him what day he was born or how many siblings he has, etc. The child’s day-to-day life and environment is connected with math. The child is born into a mathematic world where he has to adapt to it. The child needs math to sort and group objects within their environment. When the child enters the Montessori environment, he can already count without knowing the real meaning of the numbers (rote-counting). He counts with understanding of numbers and gradually learns arithmetic’s, geometry and algebra in the Montessori classroom. ‘The Mathematical Mind’ refers to the unique tendencies of the human mind. The French philosopher B. Pascal said...

...(probably earlier). It was in 1785 that a French philosopher named Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat (the Marquis of Condorcet) published two foundational mathematical results, now known as Condorcet’s Jury Theorem, and Condorcet’s Paradox. The term “Social Choice Theory”, however, was not coined until after 1951, with the publishing of “Social Choice and Individual Values” by American economist Kenneth Arrow. These two men are often credited as the founders of the modern theory. In this section, we will look at seven different methods of casting and evaluating votes: i. Majority Rule ii. Plurality Rule iii. Borda Count iv. Hare Method v. Pairwise Comparison Method vi. Approval Method vii. Tournament Method Here on, we consider the general problem in which a group of n people must choose exactly 1 option (e.g. “C”) from a list of distinct options (A,B,C, etc.). These options could be candidates running for office, bills, legal decisions, etc. The one that is chosen we shall call the “winner”. 1 Plurality Voting In plurality voting (also called first-past-the-post voting in reference to horse races), each voter casts exactly 1 vote in favour of just 1 option. The winner is the option that earns a certain number of votes. • Majority Rule: The winner is the option that earns more than 50% of all votes (a simple majority). If the number of votes, n, is even, then a simple majority is at least n + 1. 2 If n is odd, then a simple majority is at least n+1 . 2 • Plurality Rule: The winner is...

...1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2. INTRODUCTION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION Fast food restaurant, also known as a quick service restaurant (QSR) within the industry itself, is a specific type of restaurant characterized both by its fast food cuisine and by minimal table service. Food served in fast food restaurants typically caters to a " meat-sweet diet" and is offered from a limited menu; is cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot; is finished and packaged to order; and is usually available ready to take away, though seating may be provided. Fast food restaurants are usually part of a restaurant chain or franchise operation, which provisions standardized ingredients and/or partially prepared foods and supplies to each restaurant through controlled supply channels. Arguably the first fast food restaurants originated in the United States with A&W in 1916 and White Castle in 1921. . Today, Filipino-founded fast food chains such as Jollibee, McDonalds, KFC which are multinational corporations with outlets across the globe. Modern commercial fast food is highly processed and prepared on a large scale from bulk ingredients using standardized cooking and production methods and equipment. It is usually rapidly served in cartons or bags or in a plastic wrapping, in a fashion which reduces operating costs by allowing rapid product identification and counting, promoting longer holding time, avoiding transfer of bacteria, and facilitating order fulfillment. In most fast food operations...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION: MATTER AND MEASUREMENT The Study of Chemistry Chemistry: • is the study of properties of materials and changes that they undergo. • can be applied to all aspects of life. The Atomic and Molecular Perspective of Chemistry Chemistry involves the study of the properties and the behavior of matter. Matter: • is the physical material of the universe. • has mass. • occupies space. Examples of matter: ~100 elements constitute all matter. A property is any characteristic that allows us to recognize a particular type of matter and to distinguish it from other types of matter. Elements: • are made up of unique atoms, the building blocks of matter. • approximately 116 elements. • names of the elements are derived from a wide variety of sources. Molecules: • are combinations of atoms held together in specific shapes. • Macroscopic (observable) propertied of matter relate to submicroscopic realms of atoms • Properties relate to composition (types of atoms present) and structure (arrangement of atoms present. [pic] • Combinations of atoms held together in specific shapes CH3CH2OH HOCH2CH2OH Ethyl alcohol ethylene glycol Why study Chemistry? We study chemistry because: • It has a considerable impact on society (health care, food, clothing, conservation of natural resources, environmental issues...

...potential of unit systems packed with this support in terms of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emissions treatment. Two laboratory scale pilot biofilters were used. A volumetric load of 680 g H2 S mÀ3 empty bed dayÀ1 and 85 g NH3 mÀ3 empty bed dayÀ1 was applied for eight weeks to a unit called BGSn (column packed with granulated sludge and mainly supplied with hydrogen sulfide); a volumetric load of 170 g H2 S mÀ3 empty bed dayÀ1 and 340 g NH3 mÀ3 empty bed dayÀ1 was applied for eight weeks to the other called BGNs (column packed with granulated sludge and mainly supplied with ammonia). Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide elimination occur in the biofilters simultaneously. The hydrogen sulphide and ammonia removal efficiencies reached are very high: 100% and 80% for BGSn; 100% and 80% for BGNs respectively. Hydrogen sulfide is oxidized into sulphate and sulfur. The ammonia oxidation products are nitrite and nitrate. The nitrogen error mass balance is high for BGSn (60%) and BGNs (36%). This result could be explained by the denitrification process which would...

...In turn, businesses use this labor to produce goods and services that are provided to the product market. Overall, products will soon be purchased back by consumers and returning to households. The clockwise arrow is to show the movement of real items such as, hours worked and so on. The counterclockwise arrow is to show the movement of money. The reason that income must equal spending in the economy, is because for every dollar spent by some buyer is a dollar of income for some seller. 4. Why does GDP accounting include only the final value of goods and services produced? What would be the problem if intermediate products were included? The reason why only final goods and services are counted, is to steer away from multiple counting. The cost of all intermediate products and services are already included in the final sales price. So by including them would mean that the product(s) where double counted, which would overstate gross domestic product. 5. Describe why GDP can be computed using either expenditures or income? GDP can be computed by either expenditures or income due to the idea that everything that is produced by the economy is purchased. This can be measured by four major categories of spending, which are personal consumption expenditures, gross private domestic investment, government purchases, and net exports. 6. What does GDP per capita measure? Why is it not a precise measure of a typical person’s standard of living in a country? GDP per capita...

Discounted cash flow analysis is the most accurate and flexible method for valuing projects, divisions, and companies. Any analysis, however, is only as accurate as the forecasts it relies on. Errors in estimating the key ingredients of corporate value . . . can lead to mistakes in valuation. Tim Koller, Marc Goedhart, and David Wessels Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies 1 A Return to First Principles mmauboussin@lmfunds.com Say you had to come up with a fair offer to buy your local dry cleaner and the seller limited the extent of your financial information to the answers to five questions. Which questions would you ask? Chances are you wouldn’t ask how the quarter is progressing or about last year’s earnings, but you would focus on the prospects for cash coming in versus cash going out over time. Sole proprietors understand intimately that the value of their business hinges on the cash flow the business generates. No distributable cash, no value. Cash puts food on the table and pays the mortgage; earnings do not. Equity investors are business buyers. While most shareholders own only a small fraction of a company, they are owners nonetheless. The source of shareholder value, and value changes, is no different than the sole proprietor’s: it’s all about the cash. Most investors don’t think...

...Final Project: Expository Essay Samantha A. Medina University of Phoenix Final Project: Expository Essay Computer technology has developed tremendously over the decades and centuries to become so modern in every aspect including education and personal leisure. It is breath taking to see how modernized out computer technology is today as opposed to the limited computer technology that was available in history. The changes that have occurred over history to today will be discussed and focused upon in this essay. The Mechanical Era: Early Computing Devices The Abacus The abacus was the first machine to be used computational science. It is considered to be the first computer. This machine was inspired by one of Charles Babbage’s designs. The abacus could process 15 digit numbers and calculate fourth-order differences. In 1885 the machine won gold medal at an exhibition in Paris and also helped calculate the orbit of mars! The abacus is still in use today. Imagine that a computing device from centuries ago still being used to this day! Charles Babbage Charles Babbage was an English mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer ("Charles Babbage", 2012). Babbage is known to have invented the first programmable computer. As stated earlier his design inspired the abacus and other complex designs. He won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society for inventing an engine for calculating mathematical and astronomical tables. Babbage was also Lucasian Professor...

...AIUB 1 Master of Business Administration Course Instructor: Dr. Swapan Kumar Dhar Definition of Statistics Statistics is the science of collecting, organizing, presenting, analyzing and interpreting data for the purpose of making intelligent statements and drawing appropriate conclusions. So, according to this definition, there are four stages: (1) Collection of data (2) Presentation of data (3) Analysis of data and (4) Interpretation of data. Example of Statistics: Examples include the average starting salary of college graduates, the number of deaths due to road accidents last year, and 20% students of BBA are female. In these examples statistics are a value or a percentage. Other examples include: 95% students of BBA come to the class in time. 25% students of IBA come to the campus by car. The above are all examples of statistics. Data: Data are the facts and figures that are collected, analyzed and summarized for presentation and interpretation. The data collected in a particular study are referred as the data set for the study. For example, the heights (in cm.) of 14 randomly selected persons from a group of 100 persons are as follows: 152, 160, 158, 155, 154, 155, 162, 164, 160, 153, 161, 158, 167, 151. The above information on height of people constitutes a data. A set of five students is selected from a class...

...The California Trail carried over 250,000 gold-seekers and farmers to the gold fields and rich farmlands of the Golden State during the 1840s and 1850s, the greatest mass migration in American history. The general route began at various jumping off points along the Missouri River and stretched to various points in California Oregon, and the Sierra Nevada. The specific route that emigrants and forty-niners used depended on their starting point in Missouri, their final destination in California, the condition of their wagons and livestock, and yearly changes in water and forage along the different routes. The trail passes through the states of Missouri, Kansas Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, and California. Before the trail was blazed, the Great Basin region had only been partially explored during the days of Spanish and Mexican rule. However, that changed in 1832 when Benjamin Bonneville, a United States Army officer, requested a leave of absence to pursue an expedition to the west. The expedition was financed by John Jacob Astor, a rival of the Hudson Bay company. While Bonneville was exploring the Snake River in Wyoming, he sent a party of men under Joseph Walker to explore the Great Salt Lake and find an overland route to California. Early settlers began to use the trail in the 1840's, the first of which was John Bidwell, who led the 1841 Bidwell-Bartleson Party. In 1842, a member of the Bidwell-Bartleson Party returned to Missouri on the Humboldt...

...Taking Wal-Mart Global Lessons From Retailing's Giant Vijay Govindarajan and Anil K. Gupta [pic] During 1992-93, Wal-Mart agreed to sell low-priced products to two Japanese retailers, Ito-Yokado and Yaohan, that would market these products in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. Then, in 1994, Wal-Mart entered Hong Kong through a joint venture with the C.P. Pokphand Company, a Thailand-based conglomerate, to open three Value Club membership discount stores in Hong Kong. MODE OF ENTRY Once Wal-Mart had selected the country or countries to enter, it needed to determine the appropriate mode of entry. Every company making this move faces an array of choices: It can acquire an existing player, build an alliance with an existing player or start greenfield operations, either alone or in partnership with another player. Wal-Mart entered Canada through an acquisition. This was a logical move for three reasons. First, Canada is a mature market - an unattractive situation for greenfield operations, since adding new stores (i.e., new capacity) will only intensify an already high degree of local competition. Second, because there are significant income and cultural similarities between the United States and Canadian markets, Wal-Mart faced relatively little need for new learning. Thus, entering through a strategic alliance was unnecessary. Third, a poorly performing player, Woolco, was available for purchase at an economical price. Furthermore...
