Help-seeking in an online maths environment: A sequence analysis of log filesChristian Bokhove
In online mathematics environments feedback is often provided to help students make progress. However, the extent to which students make use of such feedback, so-called ‘help-seeking’, depends on numerous instructional variables, including the design of the online platform and individual student characteristics. Furthermore, student behaviour in such platforms are not independent events: the order in which tasks are completed matters, and we therefore have to study sequences of such events. This study used student data from UK students in grades 3 to 5 with at least 100 lesson records in the academic year ’18-’19 (N=1,799), totalling 1,048,575 records between December 2010 and January 2019, from an online mathematics platform. Sequence analysis was applied to the data to uncover patterns of help-seeking. The results showed that help, task difficulty and precision interact, demonstrating the usefulness of learning analytical approaches like sequence analysis.

New York Survey Data
Instructions
A consulting firm was hired to perform a survey on people living in New York City. The survey was completed monthly for six months by 445 randomly selected people in different boroughs. There were a number of items on the survey, but six basic biographical items will be studied for this exercise. The data for the people surveyed in one of these monthly surveys can be found in the Excel file SURVEY. The variables that were used for the basic biographical data are found on the last page of the exercise.
In this exercise, some of the estimation techniques presented in the module will be applied to the New York survey results. You may assume that these respondents represent a simple random sample of all potential respondents within the community, and that the population is large enough that application of the finite population correction would not make an appreciable difference in the results.
New York City governmental agency personnel like to have point estimates regarding variables describing the biographical information of the people living within the different boroughs. It is very helpful for them to have some idea regarding the likely accuracy of these estimates as well. Therein lies the benefit of the techniques presented in this module and applied here.
1. Item A in the description of the data collection instrument lists variables 1 through 5, which represent the respondent’s general attitude toward each of the five boroughs. Each of these variables has numerically equal distances between the possible responses, and for purposes of analysis they may be considered to be of the interval scale of measurement.
1. Determine the point estimate, and then construct the 95% confidence interval for μ1= the average attitude toward Manhattan.
2. Repeat part (a) for μ2through μ5, the average attitudes toward Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island, respectively.
2. Given the breakdown of responses for variable 6 (highest level of education), determine the point estimate, then construct the 95% confidence interval for π6= the population proportion of doctoral degrees.
3. Given the breakdown of responses for variable 7 (marital status of respondent), determine the point estimate, and then construct the 95% confidence interval for π7 = the population proportion in the “single or other” category.
4. Assume the governmental agencies requested estimates of the mean attitudes towards each borough with a margin of error of 0.05 for each borough. If the governmental agency personnel want to have 95% confidence that the sample mean will fall within this margin of error, how large should the sample sizes be for each borough?

PHY 241 Lab 6- Law of Conservation of Energy
Introduction:
Last week we spent significant effort understanding the forces and
resulting acceleration of the cart in Figure 1 to the right. This week we
want to keep the same experimental setup and focus our attention on the
various Energies within this system. For example, because objects are
moving up and down, there must be Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE.
Also, a spring is involved, so there must be Spring Potential Energy, SPE,
as well. If we add ALL forms of energy involved in the system, we can also
define a Total Energy, TE,
𝑇𝐸 = 𝐺𝑃𝐸 + 𝑆𝑃𝐸 + ⋯ . (1)
The Total Energy is a very useful idea because the Law of Conservation of Energy promises us that the
Total energy will behave in a very specific, simple way. The Law of Conservation of Energy states:
“The total amount of energy in a system is a constant unless energy is transferred through the
system boundary through Work, Heat, Electrical Transmission, etc.”
This single statement gives us a series of concrete goals.
A. Calculate, 𝐺𝑃𝐸 and 𝑆𝑃𝐸 for each time step at which we collected data.
B. Plot each form of Energy over multiple bounces of the cart. Also add 𝑇𝐸 to the graph below.
Does the behavior of the Total Energy agree with the Law of Conservation of energy stated
above?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

In this section developments in graphical methods of assessing water drive performance are
presented. An extensive number of graphical and mathematical extrapolation techniques is available
in the literature. A number mathematical extrapolation methods were also assessed (not presented
here). Mathematical extrapolation technique presented by Dake (1994) was found to be quite
effective in predicting future production performance and in assessing the effects of any remedial
actions which has taken place. The method was tested on two fields, namely Miller and Maureen.
Description of method proposed by Dake is presented below.

Conversion from surface volumes to reservoir pore volumes is performed using the following
relationships:
N_pd=(N_p B_o)/(NB_oi )(1–S_wc)
W_id=W_i/(NB_oi )(1–S_wc)
Since 1PV=(NB_oi)/(1–S_wc )
Finally, the dependence of fractional flow at the producing end of the system on fractional flow at
reservoir conditions is expressed using the classical Buckley–Leverett fraction flow function:
f_we=1/(1+B_o/B_w (1/f_ws –1))
It must be noted that in most water drive reservoirs before the water breakthrough, there is an initial
period of depletion. The fractional flow calculations, only take into account the oil recovered by
water injection. Therefore calculations can be performed only after the water breaks through in the
producing wells.
Prediction of final oil recovery
If injection rates during the latter part of the flood are relatively stable, then 1/Wid function can be
approximated by a straight line, which can be fitted by equation of the form:
(δf_we)/(δS_we )=aS_we+b
Where a and b are constants. Integrating the equation results in quadratic function: f_we=a^2/2
S_we^2+bS_we+c
Where c is constant. Predicted values of fwe and Swe obtained by extrapolation of the quadratic
equation above are then can be used in Welge equation for predicting Npd as a function of fwe,
which are then should be converted to surface conditions.

32. Termites Behavior Lab Report
After completing the lab The Effect Colors of Pen have on Termites Behavior it could be identified
that termites like black pens the most and prefer to follow an ink line. In both trials the termites
seemed to avoid the squares for the most part, but when they got near one they would walk around
the outside of the square. Out of all the colors it was evident black was the preffered color because
they spend 11 seconds inside that square 2 seconds in the blue, and 3 seconds in the red. While this
seems like a short period of time considering each trial was 2 minutes long the termites spend a
good majority of that time near the black square which we did not put into our data table. If three
squares are drawn in different colors, then the termites will mostly stay in the red square, because it
likely has the strongest scent. This was the hypothesis made in the beginning of the experiment and
it was rejected based off the lab results. The termites defintely prefered the white portion of the
paper and also liked the black pen the most as they spent most of their time in the white or walking
around the black square. According to Joe Culin from Clemson University this is because the pen's

This ended up affecting the results because termites spent a majority of the time in the white part of
the paper. If the amount of white was closer to the size of the colored squares then the termites likely
would of spent more time in the colored squares. Halfway through the experiment a termite died
which was another large source of error. This affected the experiment because the new termite
behaved differently then the one who died. A student in another biology class peformed a similar
experiment where they drew a red and black circle and found the termite preffered the black circle.

36. Sociocultural Theory And Social Interaction
Sociocultural theory refers to the idea that parents, peers, teachers, and culture help to shape a
child's learning. The engagement between objects and environment, in collaboration with social
interaction play an extensive role in a child's learning and development (Wang, Bruce, & Hughes,
2011). Psychologist, Lev Vygotsky, introduced socio–cultural theory. The basis of socio cultural
theory is made up of social interaction and cultural tools. Social interaction refers to the parents,
peers, and teachers daily interaction with the child and the learning that is stimulated. Cultural tools
refer to the values, beliefs, technical tools, and psychological tools that available and accessible to
the child. This theory also describes the learning process in two parts, interpersonal and evolves to
intrapersonal. Interpersonal is when a child is learning through social interaction and intrapersonal is
when a child learns it on an individual level (Siegler and Alibali, 2005). The transition from
interpersonal to intrapersonal depends upon the proximal zone of development and scaffolding. The
zone of proximal development is the abilities that children can perform by themself compared to the
abilities that a child cannot perform on their own, but is able to learn with the guidance of others
(Siegler and Alibali, 2005). Instructed learning is one form that aims to teach a child a task. This

1.) Visual Search – In this activity I participated in a classic psychological experiment that uses
visual search tasks to explore fundamental process of visual perception and attention. In general I
learned that selective attention filters enable us to make more automatic decisions about the stimuli
around us, including which items to pay attention to during a visual search. Also, since your brain is
always active and sees visual sights and sensory information, your mind copes by automatically
screening or filtering incoming sensory information to let in only what is most important.
Specifically, I learned that the first set of trials I did were the feature search part of the experience
and the second set of trials were the conjunction search part of the experience. What I learned about
my self after doing this activity is that I had a quick reaction time on the first set of trials as I was
asked to find a blue circle amid orange squares and circles. But, on the second set of trials my
reaction time was not as quick as it first was. On the second set of trials, I was asked to find the blue
circle amid blue squares and orange circles. I believe my reaction time was quicker on the first set of
trials due to the fact that I was just looking for the color blue among orange squares and circles, but
on the second set of trials I was looking for a blue circle among blue squares and orange squares.
Therefore, the blue squares were distractors from the blue circle and I was forced

44. Additional Mathematics Chapter 1 Essay
Chapter One From chapter 1, I feel a very important contribution to the development of mathematics
is the Egyptian "doubling" method. The Egyptians came up with this dyadic method when they
realized that any integer can be written as a sum of "doubling numbers" or powers of two without
repeating any of them. By doubling a number enough to add up to the value of another, the
Egyptians came up with an approach to multiplication that we should purpose today. It is also an
early introduction to the distribution property that will be used in later mathematics such as Algebra.
I find this method of "doubling numbers" as a path to multiplying large numbers that avoids the
mistakes that can be made with multiplication in our current method such as "dropping the zeros for
the next place value"; and I will surely teach this method to my middle school students as they
progress to mastering mutiplication.
Chapter Two The "Babylonian" formula from chapter 2 is what I feel is a very important
contribution to the development of mathematics. They Babylonians came up with the formula and
they did not even know it. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Interesting that we actually get introduced to this theorem in our text earlier in time in the
Babylonian Era of chapter two. Plimpton 322 actually contained pairs of numbers in which the
square root of the difference of the pairs' squares was a whole number; what we know as today as
Pythagorean Triples. But it was Pythagoras who took this property beyond just a concept and
applied it to right triangles; where the sum of the two squares of the two shorter sides of a right
triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse. There is no way that I will teach mathematics and not
come across teaching any of my students the Pythagorean Theorem; whether it be Pythagorean

48. The Groton Maze : An Effective Method For Measuring...
Executive Summary The Groton maze is a computer cognitive test which requires a participant to
find a twenty eight step pathway that is hidden on a 10 x 10 matrix of squares (Morgan et al. 2011).
The maze measures the visuospatial executive function of an individual. This is done by assessing
the total errors made throughout the trials which will highlight the level of the visuospatial executive
function of the participant (Morgan et al. 2011). There are three essential rules to the maze that
guide the participant's attempt. Only one tile can be moved at a time; diagonal moves cannot be
made; and if an incorrect choice is made, the participant must go back to the last location (Morgan et
al. 2011). The device is seen as an effective method for measuring cognitive functioning because it
is brief, reliable, valid and resistant to practice effects following multiple completions (Morgan, et
al. 2011). The Go–No Go task is a simplistic task in which an individual has to choose the stimulus
they have been assigned to pick, which are the go trials. The participant must ignore the other
stimulus which they have been told not to pick, which is the no trial. Each time a Go or No trial is
presented to the participant, a noise will be made to suggest that a selection can be made. The
participants have to respond to a choice but restrain themselves from responding to the alternative
which is incorrect (Gomez, Ratcliff & Perea, 2007). The design of this test assesses an individual's

I chose this specific topic because I was interested to know if there was an actual mathematical way
of beating the game called "A Knight's Tour". Whenl was first introduced to this game in my
research for an internal assessment topic, I was rather intrigued by its goal that was required for each
player to attempt to achieve. I thought that the game wouldn't be too terribly hard because I knew
fluently how the knight moved and thought that I would be able to move it in certain patterns across
the board that would allow me to complete the knight's tour. Although the goal of the game seemed
easily obtainable at first glance, as I continued to play the game and take myself on a l<night's tour, I
came to conclusion that it would be nearly impossible to beat without having an algorithm to base
each move off of. With each attempt at the game, I try different movements that might help to beat
"a Knight's Tour" but always end up landing on the same square more than once because I run out of
moves, or failing to beat the game in the required 63 moves or less. After coming as close as 69
moves at the end of the tour, l decided to research the game more thoroughly and attempt to find a
solution to the game without cheating, but using math based algorithms to help guide each rnovet

Project Estimating
Cost management planning happens early on in the project planning phase and should be refined
throughout the project's life cycle as additional details become available. The project's cost
management plan sets the framework for all of the project's cost management processes. The
accuracy of estimating a project's cost is essential to the successful or failure of the project. This
makes choosing the right estimating techniques crucial for a project. Expert judgment provides an
insight to past experiences, environments, and historical information from past similar projects. This
information is compared and analyzed against ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Bottom–up estimating can be used when individual work packages or activity segments of the
project need to be estimated. Bottom–up estimating takes the detailed costs and then rolls those cost
details up to a higher level activity segment or work package (Project Management Institute, 2008).
An example of this would be estimating all the resources and facility costs and rolling the
information up into the overall project estimate.
Three–point estimating takes a single–point activity and use probability distribution to approximate
what can happen in the future. This technique takes uncertainties and risks into consideration and is
considered a more accurate technique as the three points clarify and determine the risk level or range
of uncertainty for the cost estimate (Project Management Institute, 2008).
Determining the most appropriate estimating technique for the project is important. Choosing the
right technique depends on the amount of information you have from past similar projects, and the
information you have regarding the current project, such as scope baseline, project schedule, human
resource plan, risk register, enterprise environmental factors, and organizational process assets
(Project Management Institute, 2008). It is also important to know how much time and money the

This lab report serves the purpose of explaining the Mendelian theory on genetics. An experiment
done on the common fruit fly shows how the dominant and recessive traits appear in the generation
tested. The data collected and found by using a chi–square and Punnett square that allowed a
hypothesis to be made and the decision to be accepted or rejected. Drosophila Melanogaster, the
common fruit fly is an essential organism to use for genetic research because of its simple living
requirements and choice of diet. The fly can also be easily sedated and obtains many hereditary
features that can be seen with the naked eye. The fly has a few chromosomes. Another plus in using
the Drosophila is its short life cycle. The average life cycle is about 12 days. The eggs are small and
after a day are hatched into the larva. While the Drosophila is in the larval stage, it is constantly
eating. As it grows, the larva will shed its skin. Then in the last few stages, the chromosomes will be
visible. While in the pupal stage, the larva will crawl to the side of the container to begin forming
the pupal case, which is darker and harder. After a few weeks, the adult fly crawls out of the casing
and begins mating to restart the cycle (Vijayalakshmi 5). During this fly lab, the investigation was
based on genetics and gave ratios when the crosses were performed. The first objective was to find
the dominant allele. The dominant allele is the more powerful gene in the crossing. There is also a

68. Implementing High Cognitive Demand Tasks
To implement high cognitive demand tasks, we need to plan for the tasks accordingly to promote
reasoning and problem solving skills, help our students to explain and justify the answers, give the
students chance to discuss and validate the results, and ask students to explain their thinking about
the math concepts. I divided each class into teams of four to work collaboratively on the tasks.
Another strategy I did during these tasks was revise and find different ways to make the tasks easier
to start and complete within the groups. I learned how to explain and the task thoroughly, I walked
around the room more, checking up on the groups. If students had any questions, comments, or
thoughts about the task they could asked me while I was walking around the room. I asked my
students many different questions like inviting, probing, pressing, waiting, orienting, re–voicing,
connecting, and explaining questions to help them start or continue solving the task. These questions
would extend their knowledge of the concepts and make them think deeply about solving and
justifying their answers. I needed to prepare well planned intentional questions, think about the
barriers and the challenges such as previous knowledge. To help the all the students in engaging
with the task, we need to allow them enough time to work on the task. During these tasks students

disabilities, visual impairment, and physical disability. There are four big rectangular tables instead
of desks and chair, which were positioned into a square where there was enough room to walk
around or within it the square. Mrs. Bell explained to me that she positioned the tables this way
because it helps the students concentrate better. There were numerous posters, displays and boards
present with routines, instructions and students work. Mrs. Bell used if–then picture cards and fun

76. Analysis Of Justin Unger 's School Readiness Test Essay
Summary:
Justin Unger is a sweet five–year–old male who is currently enrolled in kindergarten at Southwoods
Elementary School. He was referred to occupational therapy by his teacher due to difficulty with
recognizing and writing letters and numbers and completing fine motor activities. He was pulled
from his classroom and evaluated using the Printing Performance School Readiness Test (PPSRT)
and the Visual–Motor Integration assessment (VMI). Clinical observation was used to assess Justin's
actions and behaviors within the classroom and on the playground.
Per teacher report, Justin has difficulty attending to and completing activities within the classroom.
Justin's scores on the PPSRT show that he is unable to form his letters correctly, has difficulty
recognizing letters placed before him, and is unable to write a letter without visual cues (Simner,
1982). These deficits lead to a severe developmental delay in writing tasks and letter recognition.
When Justin was observed during tabletop activities, he did not recognize his last name and was
only able to write eight letters of the alphabet independently. In addition, Justin was unable to draw
a square or a triangle without having a visual example to copy. Lastly, the VMI shows that Justin has
a severe delay in visual–perceptual skills and motor coordination (Beery, Buktencia & Beery, 2010).
These delays contribute to his inability to write and his decreased fine motor skills. However, Justin

The figures are distinct and clearly visible against the background. You can tell that one of the
women is behind a curtain while the other four are outside of it. One is even leaning on a wall. Some
of the painting has crisp outlines. The shapes on all the women's bodies are pointy and lemon
shaped. You see this mainly in their arms and legs. The two middle women are a little softer and
smoothly shaped as real women would be. Their robes and curtains have a series of misshaped
squares and triangles. The placement of the women in the painting make it hard to really understand
their positions. It isn't certain if the second woman from the left is sitting or standing. The spaces
between each woman are distorted as well. the values in the painting are well defined. For example,
you can see the contour of the middle woman's mid drift and breast, because the paint changes
between dark and light. You can also distinguish this with the robe and curtains. The edges of the
open curtains are darker than the rest, which indicates there are shadows there. The colors of the
women do appear flesh tone. You can distinguish the robes from their skin. A portion of the painting
is a different color than the curtains, so one can assume it's a wall. The difference in colors give

A Broker 's Price Opinion is exactly how it sounds. It is the process that a licensed Broker follows in
order to assist a bank or a home buyer with estimating the price of a property. In a BPO, "A bpo is a
broker price opinion and it is based on what an agent feels a property is worth to a buyer in the
current market." (Trulia.com, Gary Geer) In the first week of practicum, the BPO was one of the
main tasks that I was assigned to complete. When it was first handed to me I had so many questions
about it. I would usually ask the agents for assistance when I came to parts of the process that I did
not understand. However if they appeared to be very busy I did not want to interrupt them and tried
to figure out answers on my own. Most of the time was spent completing BPO's. When I was
finished, my adult partner would look over it to make sure that it was completed correctly. That is
why this research question interests me. The idea came from being new to the real estate sales
process and the most challenging task that I had to perform day–to–day.
The question for my research is, " If you are a beginner, how do you properly fill out a Broker's

Abstract: – This is an article on Islamic Mathematics. Islamic mathematics is dated back to the 8th
and 13th centuries CE. The mathematics in the Middle East is an expansion of what great Greek
philosophers had already found and studied. Much of what the Middle Eastern mathematicians
discovered helped influence European mathematics. In fact, a lot of what high school math teachers
teach our current generations is Algebra, which was discovered by an Islamic Mathematician.

1) [2]. Al–Khwarizmi was born in Persia near Baghdad around 780. He worked at the House of
Wisdom under the leadership of Caliph al–Ma'mun in Baghdad. The House of Wisdom was a library
for translation and research. Most of the library was full of treatises dealing with philosophy,
mathematics, and science. Here Al–Khwarizmi was commissioned to translate Greek, Hindu,
Syriac–Persian, and Hebrew text into Arabic. He popularized a number of mathematical concepts,
including the use of Hindu–Arabic numbers and the number zero, algebra, and the use of geometry
to demonstrate and prove algebraic results.
3 Arithmetic
In the 12th century, Al–Khwarizmi introduced Hindu–Arabic numerals and their arithmetic to the
west. His work is preserved in Latin, Algoritmi de numero Indorum, which then gained the term
algorithm [1]. This treatise is especially important to mathematics since it was the introduction of
the number zero. The number zero was used in the Middle East for about 250 years before it was
ever heard of in Europe. He also introduced the Hindu concept of decimal positioning notation to
the Arab and European worlds, which we still use today [2].
4 Algebra
Kitab al–jabr wa'l–muqabalah is another extremely important treatise written by Al–Khwarizmi,

After cutting out the required measurement for the door, I also add a border around the area cut out,
once again matching the measurements of the space cut out. From there I also need to attach two
hinges on the frame of the door and the doorway to attach the door to the flat. I will be attaching it
once again using a drill and screws. I also have to cut out a bit of the door in order to attach a

104. Performance Suppraisal As An Approach To Performance...
Introduction. An organizational goals can be attained only when people put their greatest efforts. So
the organization has to ascertain whether an employee has contributed his or her best performance.
Performance appraisal is an objective assessment of an individual's performance against well–
defined benchmarks. The other terms used for performance appraisal are: performance rating,
employee assessment, employee performance review, personnel appraisal, performance evaluation,
employee evaluation and merit rating. The performance being measured against such factors as job
knowledge, quality and quantity of output , initiative, leadership abilities, supervision,
dependability, co–operation, judgement, versatility, health, and the like. Assessment ... Show more

Organisation used performance management to drive behaviours from the employees to get target
outcomes. In fact, it worked well for certain employees who were solely driven by financial
rewards. In earlier days the development of people skill and knowledge and the determination of pay
was very difficult. This became apparent in the 1980s and more comprehensive approach was
needed to manage reward performance. This performance managing approach was developed by
United Kingdom(UK) and United States(US) much earlier than it was developed in Australia. In
recent days, after the introduction of human resource management, it has very formalised and
specialised.
Performance management Performance management as a "process by which the company manages
its performance in line with its corporate and functional strategies and objectives

108. Sistine Chapel Challenges
The Sistine chapel was built between the years of 1475 and 1483 in Vatican City and is named after
the pope who had the chapel built, Sixtus IV. One of the most impressive things about the Sistine
chapel and one of the most famous works of art in history is Michelangelo's painting on the ceiling
of the chapel. The project was completed using fresco. In 1508 Michelangelo was requested by Pope
Julius II to repaint the chapel. The Chapel at the time was painted with a blue sky and gold stars.
Pope Julius II original request was to have the chapel painted with the twelve Christian Apostles and
when the project was completed Michelangelo had created more than 3,000 figures. The ceiling was
created depicting nine stories from the bible's book of genesis, including the "The Creation of
Adam", the most famous panel of any. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The first challenge and maybe the easiest for Michelangelo to overcome was the fact that he had no
experience painting with fresco and he considered himself a sculptor. The next challenge was the
sheer size of the painting at a whopping 14 meters by 40.5 meters. That is more than 132 square
meters larger than a basketball court. Completing this large of painting was a monumental task
enough even without all the other challenges faced by Michelangelo. Michelangelo accepted this
commission regardless and would continue to face many more challenges over the next four years.
One of the most obvious challenges that stood in the way of completing this challenging work of art
was the fact that it was the ceiling that needed to be painted. A local townsman offered to
manufacture scaffolding for Michelangelo that would hang from the ceiling, but Michelangelo
refused because he did not want to leave holes in the ceiling from where the scaffolding would have
hung. Michelangelo then created his own scaffolding that could be held in place by brackets in the

112. Why Do We Use Quadratic Equations?
It might seem as if these contributions have no real world applications, however, that would be very
incorrect. Completing the square is very useful for quadratic equations, which we have mentioned
before. The question lies, where do we use quadratic equations? When projectiles are put into
motion they create a parabolic path, to calculate the speed and height at which they travel
completing the square would come in handy. Another example would be traveling by boat, or foot,
or any other method. You would go one way, then probably return to your original location. This
would also be similar to a parabolic path which can be solved by completing the square. Pictured
below is what a parabolic track would look like. Figure 5. Parabolic Graph Without the foundation
that al–Khwarizmi laid out for all mathematicians to come, there would not be the mathematical
field we know today. In every aspect of calculus, geometry and other forms of mathematics, the
methods of reduction, completion and balancing come into play. The combinations that those three
methods have created can be attributed to the many discoveries we have today. Just some examples
are the creation of the World Wide Web, in other words, the internet. Without the algebraic
foundation the strings of Booleans, cannot be translated to create the internet as we know it. Without

Axis of Symmetry Axis of symmetry is a line going through a graph that separates the parabola into
two.
The axis of symmetry ia a vertical line through the vertex of the functions graph. The quadratic
function has the axis of symmetry x=h
Example
Every parabola has an axis of symmetry, the line that runs down its center.The line divides the graph
into two perfect halves. In the picture the axis of symmetry is line x=1 Vertex
If a parabola opens upward, it has a lowest point. If a parabola opens downward, it has a highest
point. This lowest or highest point is called the Vertex of a parabola
The standard equation of a parabola is
But the equation for a parabola can also be written in "vertex form"
Example:
Find the vertex of the parabola.
y = 3x2 + 12x – 12
So, the x–coordinate of the vertex is:
a = 3 and b = 12.
Substituting in the original equation to get the y–coordinate, we get:
y = 3(–2)2 + 12(–2) – 12 = –24

Abstract: – The many concepts we currently have in the field of mathematics are thanks to great
mathematicians from different cultures throughout time. An important era when great mathematical
discoveries were made was during Medieval Times, or the Middle Ages. In this paper we discuss
important discoveries and contributions that were made by three famous mathematicians of this time
period including French Nicole Oresme, German Jordanus Nemorarius and Italian Leonardo Pisano,
better known for his nickname of Fibonacci.
Key–Words: – Medieval, Mathematics, Fibonacci, Arithmetic, Sequence
1 Introduction
Mathematics has grown and expanded its many concepts thanks to mathematicians from different
societies throughout time. A very important era in history is considered to be the Medieval Times, or
the middle ages. According to reference [6], "People use the phrase 'Middle Ages' to describe
Europe between the fall of Rome in 476 CE and the beginning of the Renaissance in the 14th
century." The Middle Ages, or Medieval Times, are known for their famous art, architecture,
crusades among other things, but there were also mathematical contributions happening during this
time period.
Mathematical concepts that we know and use nowadays are thanks to contributions made from
different mathematicians throughout time. The Medieval Times are no exception since great men
living in this era contributed to the beautiful subject of mathematics. Some of the many intelligent

145. Elementary 's Writing Workshop : Four Square Model
Introduction The curriculum initiative I chose to actively engage in is our third grade's Writing
Workshop: Four Square Model. The Writing Workshop: Four Square Model initiative is currently in
the evaluation phase. The most important aspect of this initiative is provide students with the
opportunity to expand upon their writing, add details, and stay organized. So many young writers
struggle to develop well–written stories, essays, and descriptions. This method utilizes a simple
graphical organizer to take students step by step through the writing process. It can be used for any
type of writing project from a simple paragraph to a story or even a persuasive essay. During the
project I worked to analyze student data and researched the Four Square Model for school–wide
usage. Overview During the 2013–2014 school year, our third grade team and administration,
evaluated student writing data and PASS projections from MAP data. They found a need for
additional writing instruction. The teachers then researched a variety of programs as they prepared
to adjust instruction. Teachers and administration chose the Four Square Model program, set a
timeline for implementation during the second semester, and created a common writing instruction
plan. My current work is focused on evaluating the effectiveness of Writing Workshop: Four Square
Model through PASS test score data and researching the applicability of the model in other grades.

153. Common Theme Of Memory In Forgetfulness, And Once More To...
Memories have always been priceless and cannot be bought. These priceless items tend to stay as
one in the human mind. Memories are powerful feelings that help one through tough times. One will
never forget the memories closest to the heart. The poem "Forgetfulness" by Billy Collins describes
memories that are slowly fading away, whereas in "Once More to the Lake" E.B. White presents a
man that relives his memories through his son. Both well–written texts develop a common theme of
memory through syntax, diction and rhetorical devices.
"Forgetfulness" by Billy Collins develops a common theme with "Once More to the Lake" by E.B.
White with the use of rhetorical devices. While describing the way memories are "floating" away,
Collins says "Long ago you kissed the names of the nine muses goodbye and watched the quadratic
equation pack its bag." (Collins 9). This is an illustration of personification because quadratic
equations lack the ability to pack bags. Similarly, in "Once More to the Lake", White says "I would
remember the things you could do with the old one–cylinder engine with the heavy flywheel, how
you could have it eating out of your hand if you got really close to it spiritually." (White 17). Both
of these examples connect to create a common theme of memory. Collins uses personification to
show how the memories of quadratic equations are forgotten. On the contrary, White uses
personification to show the reader how the narrator remembers every small detail from the
