...“Memorizing math facts is the most important step to understanding math. Math facts are the building blocks to all other math concepts and memorizing makes them readily available” (EHow Contributor, 2011). To clarify, a math fact is basic base-10 calculation of single digit numbers. Examples of basic math facts include addition and multiplication problems such as 1 + 1, 4 + 5, 3 x 5 and their opposites, 2 – 1, 9 – 4, 15/5(Marques, 2010 and Yermish, 2011). Typically, these facts are memorized at grade levels deemed appropriate to a student’s readiness – usually second or third grade for addition and subtraction and fourth grade for multiplication and division. If a child can say the answer to a math fact problem within a couple of seconds, this is considered mastery of the fact (Marques, 2010). Automaticity – the point at which something is automatic- is the goal when referring to math facts. Students are expected to be able to recall facts without spending time thinking about them, counting on their fingers, using manipulatives, etc (Yermish, 2011). . In order to become a fluent reader, a person must memorize the sounds that letters make and the sounds that those letters make when combined with other letters. Knowing math facts, combinations of numbers, is just as critical to becoming fluent in math. Numbers facts are to math as the alphabet is to reading, without them a person cannot fully succeed. (Yermish, 2011 and Marquez, 2010). A “known” fact is one that is “answered...

...Basic Mathematical skills are considered as one of the foundations in mathematics. Understanding the concepts of four fundamental operations – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of integers will keep the learners confident to step up to higher math but keeps returning to the basic mathematical concepts since K to 12 curriculum is a spiral progression. These operations are also known as arithmetic, the Do-Re-Mi of Mathematics (Byrce, 2016). One of the learners’ gaps who enter in high school has difficulty in their basic mathematical skills and concepts especially in four fundamental operations of integers. Mathematics is commonly identified as one of the most difficult subjects encountered by learners in schools and adults...

...Nine Ways How do we help floundering students who lack basic math concepts? Marilyn Burns aul, a 4th grader, was struggling to learn multiplication. Paul’s teacher was concerned that he typically worked very slowly in math and “didn’t get much done.” I agreed to see whether I could figure out the nature of Paul’s difficulty. Here’s how our conversation began: P MARILYN: Can you tell me something you know about multiplication? PAUL: [Thinks, then responds] 6 x 8 is 48. MARILYN: Do you know how much 6 x 9 is? PAUL: I don’t know that one. I didn’t learn it yet. MARILYN: Can you figure it out some way? PAUL: [Sits silently for a moment and then shakes his head.] MARILYN: How did you learn 6 x 8? PAUL: [Brightens and grins] It’s easy—goin’ fishing, got no bait, 6 x 8 is 48. connects to addition. Paul wasn’t the only student in this class who was floundering. Through talking with teachers and drawing on my own teaching experience, I’ve realized that in every class a handful of students are at serious risk of failure in mathematics and aren’t being adequately served by the instruction offered. What should we do for such students? Grappling with Interventions My exchange with Paul reminded me of three issues that are essential to teaching mathematics: I It’s important to help students make connections among mathematical ideas so they do not see these ideas as disconnected facts. (Paul saw each multiplication fact as a separate piece of information to memorize.) I It’s important to...

As the design and development of this product increases, the plan in the next year is to add over 500 employees to the site headcount. As with all XXXXXXXXXXX sites, the corporate culture and policies are expected to be enforced with one unique task. XXXXXXXXXXXXX has what is commonly known as the “XXXX culture”, and one of its roots is LEAN manufacturing. What is unique about LEAN is the concepts and training can be replicated but the actually process is unique at each location. Currently the location has a core team of approximately 7 senior managers, Plant, Program, Facilities, Materials, Human Resources, Engineering, and Business Excellence and 90 direct and indirect labor employees focused on the set up, design and build of the prototype panels. The concept at the plant is to simultaneously design, build and prepare for New Product Introduction (NPI) and design a LEAN process for developing this product. In order to profit and ensure the success of the business, support the customer demands and maintain an equitable profit margin the difficulty comes in aligning both the NPI process...

...What Is Human Services? BSHS 301 What Is Human Services? Human Services is a concept created to counter the socio-economic, emotional and psychological challenges that many individuals, children and families encounter. It was created as a means to help improve the quality of life of the socially disadvantaged by promoting the idea that many cannot meet their basic physical and emotional needs on their own or without assistance from others. Elements of Human Services are also dedicated not only to help people meet their basic needs but to also put them on track to self-sufficiency. Although Human Services encompasses a broad spectrum of practices, we will discuss a more generalized view of this concept in this essay. The goal and history of Human Services, the nature of the generalist practice, theoretical frameworks, common intervention strategies and finally, ethical considerations will all be discussed in this essay. The Goal of Human Services As previously mentioned, Human Services are a means by which the socially disadvantaged can be assisted in meeting their basic physical and emotional needs. Various obstacles keep some from meeting their needs on their own. Some of these obstacles have been created by the individual himself due to bad judgment or decisions. However, more often than not the reasons why people cannot meet their basic needs are due to circumstances beyond their control (Martin, 2007). Human service agencies (also known as social service agencies)...
