| Reflect on the number sense and operations dimension. | Chapter 9 - Multiplication
and Division of Whole Numbers - detailed notes for a change of pace -> click through these until you understand the area or rectangular model for multiplication. THis is one of four ways of thinking about multiplication and it is probably the easiest to use with all kinds of numbers (whole, fractions, decimals numbers, percentages, and as one of the presentations shows algebraic operations). If you need assistance in understanding any of these, ask the professor questions. -> multiplication represented on a grid couple of start small, bit bigger double digits, a couple of reasons why it is sooooo important short slide presentation -> worksheet |

| Reflect on the number sense and algebra. | Chapter 12 - Some
Numbers Theory - detailed notes Instead of student VIDEOS for this chapter I have some more mathematical ideas. This chapter is probably the most important chapter for those who are going to become mathematically literate. However, the sad thing is most teachers skip the ideas that are in this chapter when they occur in their math text or program. Take some time and review these examples and see if you can create some mathematical wonderment in your life. Even ODD -> Fibonaci sequence -> multiple problem with reasoning and proof -> Interesting pattern with multiples -> Tooth pick pattern -> multiples, factors, GCF, LCM ALL together -> The Fundamental Theory of Arithmetic -> Mathematical Properties -> worksheet |

Potential to teach
and professional demeanor as described
by the principled procedures. Quality of interactions in class, effort,
cooperation with fellow students and other professional educators are the
major indicators. During the semester random class assignments will be picked up and reviewed. A score of 7-10 will be given assigned reflective of a professional promise score at the end of the semester. e.g. 10=100, 9=90... Professional promise Attendance of a professional conference is encouraged. NATM Nebraska Association of Teachers of Mathematics have a Fall state conference in Norfolk September 29 . NATS (Nebraska Association Teachers of Science has a State conference in Fremont October 9&11 LOOK for mini-grants on NATS web site. |
