Naplan Test Paper
Introduction
I was quite confident in completeing the compulsory NAPLAN Year 9 questions, I have a high level of understanding in the three numeracy strands
("Numeracy," 2016) covered in the test and the questions that were selected cover the range of topics. The NAPLAN test is a compulsory test that
enables the assessment of students from years three to nine, which provides statistical analysis to ensure the students are meeting the relevant
educational outcomes for their year.
Question 1
My confidence in completing this question was quite high, as the cubes are clearly visible and the top view, or plan view is identifiable by the white
top section of each cube, with the sides being grey or shadowed to show a diferent side in a three dimensional drawing ("Isometric ... Show more

Another way would be to find the difference between the pre 3d ticket and after as followed.
To calculate the mean involve adding all the costs up before the 3d movie ($41) and dividing them by the total number of tickets (4) which equals
$10.25, using the same steps to find the mean after the 3d movie is $75/ 5 movies = $15 a difference of $4.75.
To find the range the numbers need to be aligned numerically, 8, 10, 10, 13, Subtract 8 from 13 leaves the range of 5, if the 3d movie ticket price is
added into the list 8, 10, 10, 13, 34, subtract 8 from 34 leaving the range after the 3d movie of 26.
Again to find the median it is essential to align the numbers numerically, 8, 10, 10, 13 is and equal number therfore we must use addition to calculate
the two middle numbers (10+10) and divide this by two, (10+10)2 which equals $10 if the 3d movie ticked is added into the equation 8, 10, 10, 13,

Age Group Justification Paper
Age Group Justification
According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, 4th graders between the ages of 9 and 10 are primed to begin exercising more complex logical
conceptualizations of knowledge. To illustrate, one of his basic assumptions includes the idea that by this age group–– they should be able to generate
(construct) and analyze patterns (Ormrod, 2017, 29). This is evidenced as their thought processes are organized into larger systems of mental processes
and operations that allow them to conceptualize information in more logical or "adult–like" manner. Furthermore, the content presented in this lesson
is appropriate for this age group of students by virtue of the idea that though they are not keen to the purposes of double–digit multiplication in real life
/authentic settings –– they are starting to mature and will be more eager/ready to learn more advanced concepts (Ormrod, 2017, 31). Finally, we
perused the Georgia State Standards of Excellence's guide for instruction in fourth grade. Our lesson was based upon the following two standards:
MGSE4.OA.2 Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison. Use drawings and equations with a symbol or letter for
the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.

Dear Ms. Politis,
Upon observing your class, we have learned a lot about the methods you utilize in order to help the students with mathematics and about how the
students learn. Observing your class was both an honor and a learning opportunity for us, as you are an important, and well–respected faculty member in
the school system. However, while we appreciate your goals and tactics to make learning mathematics easier for the students, we have discovered some
flaws in the use of mnemonics, rules, and tricks for helping students understand the subject material.
Procedural knowledge involves working out a procedure, but the students may not understand the reasoning behind a procedure. ... Show more content

Mnemonics can be detrimental in the sense that they often prevent students from truly understanding what it is they are learning. Instead of learning
math, they are just learning a process.
There are many tips and tricks that have an "expiration date"(Bush and Dougherty, 2014), or are unable to be utilized by the students in more than
one situation. One of the tricks that does not carry through to every situation is having students use keywords to solve word problems. Now, while
finding key words in a word problem can make it easier to identify what the problem is asking in some instances, they can also mislead the student.
The keywords that students are taught to look for can be misleading because in different circumstances, these words can be used to mean different
things. If a student is only able to associate one word with one meaning, they could be missing the overall conflict of the world problem and complete
the wrong operation in order to solve it. The trouble with teaching students to only identify key words in the problem without regarding the other
terms comes when there are multistep word problems. While there may be a familiar key word in there, the student may be missing another step that
is needed to reach the answer that is not given away by a keyword, or the student may not fully read the problem in order to

Use Of The Abacus Script By Leiden Huber And Denise Tran
How to Use the Abacus Script
Created By: Leiden Huber and Denise Tran
Leiden: Hi. Today we are going to show you how to use the abacus and tell you a couple background details about it too.
Denise: The abacus is also known as the "saunpan" (calculating pan) and was created by a mathematician named Cheng Dawei. He created it during
the Ming Dynasty which was in reign from 1368–1644 B.C. and is known as the Fifth Invention of China. The Chinese abacus is very similar to the
Roman abacus and was thought to be influenced by it.
Leiden: The typical abacus is about 20 centimeters high and comes in varying widths depending on how many rods it has (usually has 7 or more
rods). Its beads are usually rounded and made of hardwood making them able to last for a long time. Lastly, the most important fact to know about
the abacus is that is has 2 beads in the in the upper deck which have a value of 5 and 5 beads in the lower deck which each have a value of 1.
Denise: The bars outside of our abacus is called the frame and the bar separating the top and bottom row is called the beam. Each section is also
called a deck. These are very important terms to know when talking about the abacus.
Leiden: Now you know some facts about the abacus' history; next we'll show you now to do basic calculations using the abacus. The first form of
calculation I will show you how to do is adding on the abacus. This one is very basic and you should be able to do it in no time. Before you start your

This allows the student to become increasingly engaged and motivated in the class. Peter is engaged during peer discussion and classroom discussion.
Peter is not a 'leader' among the group; however, he did participate to complete a multiplication problem in front of the class. During this volunteer
time, Peter was aided by his peer, Michael to further his understanding of repeated addition. It has also been discovered throughout the school year that
Peter is a hands on learner; the manipulatives present in the lesson keep Peter more engaged and increase his learning outcomes. Peter was able to
complete the multiplication problem 10x3 on the board using the area model format; this displays that Peter understands the method of breaking

The Teacher Had Put On Board
''Slightly and squeaky!" The door to the classroom flew open as I burst into the room and sat in my usual seat. This was the day I was going to
learn how to do polynomial long division. "Good morning." The professor said, as she walked into the classroom. Almost every one of the students
had at least a pencil and notebook copying notes that the teacher had put on the board. After writing the notes down, I said to myself let me try to do
one of the problems that the teacher had put on board. Surprisingly, I could not start the problem because I did not even understand the first step.
Therefore I stopped and wait on the professor.
After the teacher did the first problem, but she did not do or put all the steps on the board, she skipped some of it. She said "you guys should have
known how to do this stuff already. This is not elementary or grade school, so I am not going to do or write every little step. Without paying close

My Reflection Of Mathematics : My Experience In Mathematics
Mathematics has been my favorite subject since I was 12 years old. It all began when I was 9 years old, back in Mexico. As any child, I struggled a
lot with math, I did not know how to multiply in my 3rd of school, in fact, I did not learn the multiplication table during that time. I struggled with
subtractions and additions as well. That was not bad at all, I really love that at that time I was having troubles with math. As a big sister's must have,
my big sister, who was really good at mathematics, helped me with math problems, homework and anything related to math, I felt lucky, not for her
helping me, but for me sharing time with her, when that happened she tied to teach me how to solve more advanced math problem. At a very young
age, I learned that math was not only a subject to struggle with in school, but it was logic, all those problems presented in my math class were some
kind related to real life problems. When I understood that, I become more efficient at math, I was able to present a math problem in as many ways as I
could, I saw mathematics more familiarly.
Time passed, my sister left the small town where we lived to go to the city to follow her dreams and achieve a career, I thanked my her for those
advises in math, and promised I would be just like her. Though, I thought I was not that great at math, not that low, but at least I could "understand" it.
In no time, I became a 8th grader, or a "1st secondary grader" how it is known in Mexico. My math teacher was

Thinking, Fractions And Decimals Are Extremely Important...
Multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals are extremely important areas of mathematics children are required to develop. The concepts within
these three areas are related and it is critical for educators to support these relationships in the classroom. Multiplicative thinking involves recall of basic
facts, the relationship between multiplication and division and underpins the development of fractions. Comprehension of fractions includes the
division of objects, fractions as numbers, the multiple ways equal fractions can be represented, as well as being represented as decimals. Place value
is a very important underpinning concept of decimals. Place value aids the ability to read, write and work with decimals. There are a number of
difficulties children can come across when developing these concepts and relationships. With a vast mathematical content knowledge and pedagogical
content knowledge educators can provide effective instruction to help children over come their difficulties. Developing a deep understanding of
multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals will assist children in later mathematics.
To become a multiplicative thinker the ability to recall basic multiplication facts and understanding of the relationship between multiplication and
division must be developed. If children do not develop the ability to recall basic multiplication facts they can be in danger of developing negative
feelings towards mathematics and becoming withdrawn (Booker, Bond,

I Am A Math Lesson Essay
For my second lesson, I decided to conduct a math lesson as I had never conducted a math lesson in an elementary classroom let alone a 3rd grade
classroom. I discussed with my CT what math concept I could teach that pertained to one of the 3rd grade standards. My CT told me that I could
introduce the new concept of area to the class on the Friday that I was supposed to teach my lesson. I knew that that introducing a new topic on a
Friday in an elementary classroom was not ideal as the majority of teachers that I have observed in the past usually wrap up their week's lessons on
Friday. The Friday I was conducting my lesson was also a shorten day due to Fall Break, so I thought the students would show some off task behavior
for the early release day. These circumstances made me think hard about how I was going to introduce the concept of area to the students in an
effective way. I knew that I needed to have a lesson that included an exploratory hands– on activity to keep the students engaged and wanting to learn.
Therefore, I decided to use cheese crackers as manipulatives to represent square units. The students were to first guess what the area of the different
shapes in a worksheet packet were and then they were to use the crackers to figure out the actually area of the different shapes. I had been grading the

Basic Math Facts On Math
Michalczuk‟s (2007) understood basic math facts to be an important skill for students to succeed in math. Michalczuk (2007) generalized students
who could answer single–digit, 0 – 9, multiplication problems (2 times 3, or 5 times 7, etc.) "Within three seconds will do well at math and those that
answer in less than one second will do excellent at math" (p. 1). Perso (2007) has defined the "looking back–to–basics" as a need to teach and focus on
the basic arithmetic skills needed as a skill for higher level mathematics learning.
In addition, Hersh (2009) stated that skills in general are more important than ever because they allow students to further their learning as well as make
judgments about the meaning, adequacy, and accuracy of the overall content. Clavel (2003) stated if students wanted to engage and be successful in
higher–order mathematical thinking skills, mastery of the multiplication table was critical. Henry and Brown (2008) reported "students who learn to use
derived–fact strategies in concert with memorization are more likely to develop mathematical proficiency than those students who have memorized the
facts without supplementary strategies" (p. 172).
Wallace and Gurganus (2005) identified students who mastered the multiplication facts, not only acquired a more positive attitude to mathematics
learning, but they also developed an overall positive mathematics experience. Basic math fact fluency provided the necessary foundation to succeed in

with both integers and real numbers; one that will be the focus of this report will be the distributive property. We use this property when we are
combining addition and multiplication in an algebraic expression. Let's say that you are presented with the expression 6x(2 + y) = 9x + 5xy, now with

Effects Of Positive Reinforcement
Question:
How will positive reinforcement affect speed and accuracy on a timed multiplication test?
Purpose:
To determine whether positive reinforcement has a bigger effect on speed or accuracy, and to what degree.
Research:
When I took AP Psychology last year, I learned that positive reinforcement will reinforce someone's behavior by making them associate the behavior
with a positive stimulus. In my experience, rushing through things usually causes me to have a faster time, but a lower score. In a study published
February of 1990, it was stated that "teachers' systematic use of certain categories of verbal statements, such as praise and reprimands, can have a
positive impact on student behavior, achievement, or both." This seems to indicate that positive reinforcement and encouragement may have an effect
on the achievement of students. However I was unable to find a study comparing the accuracy and speed of participants in a study, and so I will have
to make a few assumptions of my own based on previous knowledge in order to form a hypothesis.
Hypothesis:
If people are given positive reinforcement on a timed multiplication test, then their overall speed will increase, while their overall accuracy will
decrease.

Teaching students effectively in areas of multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals requires teachers to have a true understanding of the concepts
and best ways to develop students understanding. It is also vital that teachers understand the importance of conceptual understanding and the success
this often provides for many students opposed to just being taught the procedures (Reys et al., ch. 12.1). It will be further looked at the important
factors to remember when developing a solid conceptual understanding and connection to multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals.

C., 2015, p. 3).
Symbolic representation using base–ten and expanded algorithms is a way to show students the written connection to the visual models used. The
partial–products algorithm is a more detailed step–by–step process and therefore more advisable to avoid errors in students learning to grasp the
procedure (Reys ch.11.4). This process allows students to visualise the distributive property more easily. However, the standardmultiplication
algorithm is quicker and acceptable for students, if the teacher feels they have complete understanding of the steps in the partial–products algorithm.
Multiplication by ten gives students opportunity to explore larger numbers, and can also be extended on(Reys et al. ch. 11.4). In addition, multiples of
10 give students the knowledge that all digits move left one place and an additional place hundreths. This concept can be used to introduce the decimal
place which is also moving place each time something is multiplied by tens. Exposing students to a range of examples which displays patterns that
occur when multiplying by tens and hundreths will generate meaning of digits moving place (Reys et al., ch. 11.4).

about the many components involved with each math objective. This wasn't an easy assignment, but it wasn't extremely difficult. I felt it was time
consuming, and detailed. I learned that formative assessment is extremely helpful in the classroom because you can see how well your students can
apply what they have learned in your class. I learned a lot about the processes that students go through when taking a formative assessment. For
example, in the text it discuses procedural knowledge as, "knowledge that is needed to carry out an action or solve a problem," (McMillian, James H.
(2014). Classroom assessment: Principles and practice for effective standards– based Instruction (6th ed). Boston, MA: Pearson). I also saw through out
this assessment the students were having a hard time with simply identifying or repeating the needed steps, (McMillian, 2014). Another important
aspect of teaching with assessments is that its crucial to show, and tell the students what is expected of them in regards to showing work, and what
objectives will be on the test. I can remember being in school, and having a test on some material that I wasn't told would be on the test, and how
angry I felt. I will always ensure my criteria are clearly articulated. In this formative assessment project I learned that assessments are essential ways
for teachers to evaluate their students, and also a good way to self reflect on your own lessons. In the "Assessment, Decision Making, and Learning
Targets" lecture, I learned that assessments are a great way of knowing where the students are, and where you want them to be with knowledge and
skills, (Heilbroner, 2016). I also learned that its ultimately a professional judgment, and includes a variety of valid methods. I enjoyed

I Want To Become A Teacher
I want to become a teacher because I would love to give back to the village who helped raise me, be a mentor to my students, help students to learn
and truly understand Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics also known as STEM and the careers associated with it. People in my
community have helped me get to where I am today. With my mom being a single parent to two kids and maintaining a full time job was not easy,
she relied on extended family when needed. For example, when I was in Kindergarten my Grandfather would always talk to me about money
management. The basics of budgeting of how a person can have fifty dollars to spend, but they want to purchases six items for ten dollars each. I
was able to do this by adding ten dollars, six times then subtracting this by fifty dollars to see that there was ten dollars left. He did not like my
method of reasoning so he taught me how to multiply six times ten dollars and to subtract fifty dollars from this answer. I remember asking him what is
multiplication, and within two weeks I not only knew how to multiply, when to multiply, but I learned my multiplication facts one through twelve.
Multiplication is very hard for most second graders, let alone a kindergarteners. One lesson I learned from that day forward it does not matter how
young a person is or the time frame they have to learn it in they can do it. I have applied this same rule time and time again for the past fifteen years.

VEDIC MULTIPLIER
The Vedic mathematics applicable over complex calculation, it reduces the typical calculation into a very simple one. This is so because the Vedic
formulae are claimed to be based on the natural principles on which the human mind works. Vedic Mathematics is a methodology of arithmetic rules
that allow more efficient speed implementation. It also provides some effective algorithms which can be applied to various branches of engineering
such as computing.
1)UrdhvaTiryakbhyam Sutra
The Vedic multiplier is depends on the "UrdhvaTiryagbhyam" sutra (algorithm). These Sutras have been traditionally used for themultiplication of two
numbers in the decimal number system. In this work, we apply the same ideas to the binary number system to make the proposed algorithm
compatible with the digital hardware. It is a general multiplication formula applicable to all cases of multiplication. It literally means "Vertically
and Crosswise". It is based on a novel concept through which the generation of all partial products can be done with the concurrent addition of
these partial products. The algorithm can be generalized for n x n bit number. Since the partial products and their sums are calculated in parallel, the
multiplier is independent of the clock frequency of the processor. Due to its regular structure, it can be easily layout in microprocessors and
designers can easily circumvent these problems to avoid catastrophic device failures. The processing power of multiplier can easily be increased by
increasing the input and output data bus widths since it has a quite a regular structure. Due to its regular structure, it can be easily layout in a silicon
chip. The Multiplier based on this sutra has the advantage that as the number of bits increases, gate delay and area increases very slowly as compared

My Goals And Dedication Of Dedication
When people hear dedication, they may think about relationships or a job. Dedication means something different to all of us. To me, dedication is
more general. It is chasing a dream or goal relentlessly yet selflessly. It has shaped me into the person I am today. Dedication emerged in me when
I first started school and competing in athletics, and it has led me to every major achievement. Twelve years after dedication started to model me
into who I am today, I realized it was shaping my life when I became a National Merit Scholar and placed eighth at state wrestling, both in February
of 2016. I looked back to all the times where dedication is all that kept me on the track of achieving my goals and where dedication paid off. I
didn't choose to value dedication; external factors grew it up inside of me. Every youth soccer league practice and game, every wrestling practice and
tournament, and every class I had were factors in the development of dedication. It's clear what made me become so dedicated. The question to ask
myself is why these experiences instilled dedication in me. The first place to look is wrestling. It's a sport that can build or destroy character. Wrestling
builds confidence. This confidence can grow or shrink depending on the outcome of competition. Some people become overconfident and others settle
into the perfect amount of confidence. I believe I fall into the latter group. Practice can grow humility and dedication by fighting through

2. Let us consider the multiplication of two decimal numbers (5498 Г— 2314). The conventional methods already know to us will require 16
multiplications and 15 additions. The numbers to be multiplied are written on two consecutive sides of the square as shown in the figure. The square
is divided into rows and columns where each row/column corresponds to one of the digit of either a multiplier or a multiplicand. Thus, each digit of
the multiplier has a small box common to a digit of the multiplicand. These small boxes are partitioned into two halves by the crosswise lines. Each
digit of the multiplier is then independently multiplied with every digit of the multiplicand and the two–digit product is written in the common box.
All the digits lying on a crosswise dotted line are added to the previous carry. The least significant digit of the obtained number acts as the result digit
and the rest as the carry for the next step. Carry for the first step (i.e., the dotted line on the extreme right side) is taken to be

Mygraphy Of A Teacher Autobiography
My Teacher Autobiography
Since I can remember I have always wanted to be a teacher. You can say I come from a family of teachers because several of my family members
are teachers. I enjoy helping others and I love working with children. I dream of becoming a middle school English teacher in spite of people
telling me I will have a difficult time with the children from that age group. I have had many role models throughout my life and they have all
impacted my life in their own way. My biggest role models have been my 8th grade math teacher Ms. Gurrola, my maternal grandfather, Higinio, and
my 8th grade Language Arts teacher, Ms. Cordova. All of these individuals in their own way have had a significant impact on my life and are part of
the reason why I choose to become a teacher. By learning about these people that have meant so much to me you can learn a lot me as a person and
how I will be as teacher.
One of the most memorable and favorite teachers I have had is my eighth–grade math teacher Ms. Gurrola. Although she wasn't my favorite teacher at
the time, today is she is one of my most significant roles models and inspirations for becoming a teacher. Being a new member of the bilingual
program at my school, Ms. Gurrola's math class was one of the most challenging because I had never taken a math class in Spanish before and
although Spanish is my first language the terminology was new to me. To me, Ms. Gurrola was a great teacher in spite of her strict rules and at
times unpleasant attitude. She knew her subject matter very well and was always open to helping her students whenever possible. She had a strong
accent that made it evident that she was bilingual and that English was not her first language. It was rumored that she had come to the United
States from Mexico with a convent of nuns but left and became a teacher. I did not realize her value as a teacher until one day that I stayed after
school with her to finish an exam for her class. I was upset with her over something that happened the previous day in class and I gave her a little bit
of attitude that day yet when I went to her class after school it seemed as if nothing had ever happened. She was helpful and very nice to me. After I

As it is known, multiplication is only a simplified version of addition; adding a number a fixed number of times. Therefore, first it is fundamental to
have a satisfactory background in addition in order to dominate multiplication, including all the rules and properties such us the commutative,
associative, and distributive properties. Another important knowledge is to learn the multiplication table from 0 to 12 at the top of our head. Finally,
it is also recommended to keep in mind certain properties of multiplication but especially know the property that specifies the interaction between odd
and even numbers. When an even number with an odd one or two even numbers are multiplied, the result will always be an even number; however,
when two odd numbers are multiplied, the answer will be an odd number. It is essential to know such property because every time we have to
multiply and look at the numbers we are multiplying; one will have a better idea of what the result is going to be.
Once the preparation is completed, one can start practicing some tricks to get results without the need to use a calculator. Personally, I found seven
efficient cases that involve multiplying large numbers.
The first case, is known as the benefit of the distributive property, or applying the distributive property to one's benefit. It is better to use this case

Understanding The Concept Of Division
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce the students to the concept of division. This will be somewhat of a review for the students who have had
practice with division in past grade levels. It has been a long time since the students have had any practice with division, so this lesson will serve an
introduction to the meaning of division, division vocabulary, as well as its relationship to multiplication. Students will be introduced to fact families as a
way to show the connection between multiplication and division. The students will be able to see the relationship between a concept they have had a
lot of practice with (multiplication), to a concept that might be new to them (division).

definition while is a useful link between multiplication and addition is limiting if it is students' only concept of multiplication.
The meaning of the multiplication sign, "Г—", depends on the language of the speaker. In Japanese it always means "multiplied by." "3 Г— 4" and "3
times 4" mean, "Three multiplied by four," or four groups of three items. In English, however, the sign means either "times" or "multiplied by,"
where"3 times 4," denotes three groups of four items, and "three multiplied by four" means four groups of three items. Therefore, in English the sign

The Teacher Had Put On Board
"Slightly and squeaky!" The door to the classroom flew open as I burst into the room and sat in my usual seat. This was the day I was going to

possible to fit all cars on floor 1, 2, and 3 in the parking lots. Now, before you construct your parking lot, you must be able to complete your
blueprints. In the blueprints, you show all the arrays for each floor that are best to be able to construct your floors. Check your blueprints with the
supervisor (teacher). However, your floors will be made out of cardboard box that can be between 12 inches to 48 inches, nothing more and nothing

The Importance Of Multiplicative Thinking
Multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals are important aspects of mathematics required for a deep conceptual understanding. The following
portfolio will discuss the key ideas of each and the strategies to enable positive teaching. It will highlight certain difficulties and misconceptions that
children face and discuss resources and activities to help alleviate these. It will also acknowledge the connections between the areas of mathematics and
discuss the need for succinct teaching instead of an isolated approach. Multiplicative Thinking Multiplicative thinking is imperative to a child's
understanding of important mathematical concepts and is seen as the 'big idea' in number that links multiple key ideas and strategies (Vergnaud, as
cited in Siemon, 2011). Commonly, children have a procedural based view of multiplicative thinking which can hinder progress, as opposed to a more
conceptual view which is a far better learning framework (Hurst & Hurrell, 2016). If teachers are to maximise a child's learning, they must acknowledge
this and help children maintain a conceptual understanding of multiplicative thinking and emphasise this much more so than procedural rules. Several
key ideas and strategies underpin the success of multiplicative thinking and a greater conceptual understanding. Hurst and Hurrell (2014) explain that
children need to be acutely aware of the ten times multiplicative relationship between places and how this effects many aspects of mathematics.

Today was Halloween, so my teacher had planned some really fun activities for the students to participate in. Before the students arrived, I talked with
Mrs. Beach about the lesson that I would be teaching in two weeks. I also helped her set up the science experiment that the students would get to
observe while they were working on another activity. When the students arrived, Mrs. Beach explained the science demonstration to the students and
asked them to develop a hypothesis of what they thought might happen to the Peep Pumpkins when she put them in hot water, cold water, club
soda, vinegar, and oil. She also asked them to predict what would happen when she put candy corn in these types of liquids. Once the students had
made their predictions, Mrs. Beach asked for some of them to share their predictions. Three boys proceeded to share their hypotheses with the class.
Mrs. Beach wanted some girls to share their hypotheses with the class, so she encouraged them by saying, "Come on girls, the boys are out doing
you by sharing their hypotheses. Let's hear from some of the girls. What do you think will happen?" Even though I probably would not say these
exact words, I really like how Mrs. Beach was encouraging the girls to share their thoughts as well. Following this exchange, Mrs. Beach proceeded to

In earlier stages of VLSI circuit design the emphasis is on Area and Speed optimization giving concerns to Packaging and Efficient designing. As the
technology scales down according to predictions of Moor's Law, it is advent that the CMOS dimensions have been scaled down drastically. But due to
increase in use of Portable Devices Such as Cellphones, Laptops, Personal Health Monitoring systems, there has been a demand of higher battery life
for Portable devices. Whereas big data centers which contains large set of circuits consumes tremendous power and dissipates large amount of heat
which incurs huge cost to maintain. The solution for these problems is to design circuits which consume low power which give rise to the concept of

Naplan Test Paper

  • 1. Naplan Test Paper Introduction I was quite confident in completeing the compulsory NAPLAN Year 9 questions, I have a high level of understanding in the three numeracy strands ("Numeracy," 2016) covered in the test and the questions that were selected cover the range of topics. The NAPLAN test is a compulsory test that enables the assessment of students from years three to nine, which provides statistical analysis to ensure the students are meeting the relevant educational outcomes for their year. Question 1 My confidence in completing this question was quite high, as the cubes are clearly visible and the top view, or plan view is identifiable by the white top section of each cube, with the sides being grey or shadowed to show a diferent side in a three dimensional drawing ("Isometric ...

To calculate the mean involve adding all the costs up before the 3d movie ($41) and dividing them by the total number of tickets (4) which equals $10.25, using the same steps to find the mean after the 3d movie is $75/ 5 movies = $15 a difference of $4.75. To find the range the numbers need to be aligned numerically, 8, 10, 10, 13, Subtract 8 from 13 leaves the range of 5, if the 3d movie ticket price is added into the list 8, 10, 10, 13, 34, subtract 8 from 34 leaving the range after the 3d movie of 26. Again to find the median it is essential to align the numbers numerically, 8, 10, 10, 13 is and equal number therfore we must use addition to calculate the two middle numbers (10+10) and divide this by two, (10+10)2 which equals $10 if the 3d movie ticked is added into the equation 8, 10, 10, 13, 34 the median is still ...

  • 2. Age Group Justification Paper Age Group Justification According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, 4th graders between the ages of 9 and 10 are primed to begin exercising more complex logical conceptualizations of knowledge. To illustrate, one of his basic assumptions includes the idea that by this age group–– they should be able to generate (construct) and analyze patterns (Ormrod, 2017, 29). This is evidenced as their thought processes are organized into larger systems of mental processes and operations that allow them to conceptualize information in more logical or "adult–like" manner. Furthermore, the content presented in this lesson is appropriate for this age group of students by virtue of the idea that though they are not keen to the purposes of double–digit multiplication in real life /authentic settings –– they are starting to mature and will be more eager/ready to learn more advanced concepts (Ormrod, 2017, 31). Finally, we perused the Georgia State Standards of Excellence's guide for instruction in fourth grade. Our lesson was based upon the following two standards: MGSE4.OA.2 Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison. Use drawings and equations with a symbol or letter for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison. MGSE3.NBT.5 Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by one–digit whole number, and multiply by two–digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Kayleigh Poudrier, Jakara Small 05/02/2017 MA112–002 Dear Ms. Politis, Upon observing your class, we have learned a lot about the methods you utilize in order to help the students with mathematics and about how the students learn. Observing your class was both an honor and a learning opportunity for us, as you are an important, and well–respected faculty member in the school system. However, while we appreciate your goals and tactics to make learning mathematics easier for the students, we have discovered some flaws in the use of mnemonics, rules, and tricks for helping students understand the subject material. Procedural knowledge involves working out a procedure, but the students may not understand the reasoning behind a procedure. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Mnemonics can be detrimental in the sense that they often prevent students from truly understanding what it is they are learning. Instead of learning math, they are just learning a process. There are many tips and tricks that have an "expiration date"(Bush and Dougherty, 2014), or are unable to be utilized by the students in more than one situation. One of the tricks that does not carry through to every situation is having students use keywords to solve word problems. Now, while finding key words in a word problem can make it easier to identify what the problem is asking in some instances, they can also mislead the student. The keywords that students are taught to look for can be misleading because in different circumstances, these words can be used to mean different things. If a student is only able to associate one word with one meaning, they could be missing the overall conflict of the world problem and complete the wrong operation in order to solve it. The trouble with teaching students to only identify key words in the problem without regarding the other terms comes when there are multistep word problems. While there may be a familiar key word in there, the student may be missing another step that is needed to reach the answer that is not given away by a keyword, or the student may not fully read the problem in order to

  • 5. Use Of The Abacus Script By Leiden Huber And Denise Tran How to Use the Abacus Script Created By: Leiden Huber and Denise Tran Leiden: Hi. Today we are going to show you how to use the abacus and tell you a couple background details about it too. Denise: The abacus is also known as the "saunpan" (calculating pan) and was created by a mathematician named Cheng Dawei. He created it during the Ming Dynasty which was in reign from 1368–1644 B.C. and is known as the Fifth Invention of China. The Chinese abacus is very similar to the Roman abacus and was thought to be influenced by it. Leiden: The typical abacus is about 20 centimeters high and comes in varying widths depending on how many rods it has (usually has 7 or more rods). Its beads are usually rounded and made of hardwood making them able to last for a long time. Lastly, the most important fact to know about the abacus is that is has 2 beads in the in the upper deck which have a value of 5 and 5 beads in the lower deck which each have a value of 1. Denise: The bars outside of our abacus is called the frame and the bar separating the top and bottom row is called the beam. Each section is also called a deck. These are very important terms to know when talking about the abacus. Leiden: Now you know some facts about the abacus' history; next we'll show you now to do basic calculations using the abacus. The first form of calculation I will show you how to do is adding on the abacus. This one is very basic and you should be able to do it in no time. Before you start your addition ...

[ The lesson plan was cut short due to a two hour snow delay, this change forced the lesson plan time to be shorter than expected. Due to this change, I decreased the amount of whole group instruction.

Peter is not a 'leader' among the group; however, he did participate to complete a multiplication problem in front of the class. During this volunteer time, Peter was aided by his peer, Michael to further his understanding of repeated addition. It has also been discovered throughout the school year that Peter is a hands on learner; the manipulatives present in the lesson keep Peter more engaged and increase his learning outcomes.

  • 8. The Teacher Had Put On Board ''Slightly and squeaky!" The door to the classroom flew open as I burst into the room and sat in my usual seat. This was the day I was going to learn how to do polynomial long division. "Good morning." The professor said, as she walked into the classroom. Almost every one of the students had at least a pencil and notebook copying notes that the teacher had put on the board. After writing the notes down, I said to myself let me try to do one of the problems that the teacher had put on board. Surprisingly, I could not start the problem because I did not even understand the first step. Therefore I stopped and wait on the professor. After the teacher did the first problem, but she did not do or put all the steps on the board, she skipped some of it. She said "you guys should have known how to do this stuff already. This is not elementary or grade school, so I am not going to do or write every little step. Without paying close attention and understand every single steps and everything she was saying. The first thing I did was, I immediately started the next one. I started good. I did the first step which was the division part. Where I had to change the way the problem was writing and to look at that first number of the guy that I was going to divide into.

  • 9. My Reflection Of Mathematics : My Experience In Mathematics Mathematics has been my favorite subject since I was 12 years old. It all began when I was 9 years old, back in Mexico. As any child, I struggled a lot with math, I did not know how to multiply in my 3rd of school, in fact, I did not learn the multiplication table during that time. I struggled with subtractions and additions as well. That was not bad at all, I really love that at that time I was having troubles with math. As a big sister's must have, my big sister, who was really good at mathematics, helped me with math problems, homework and anything related to math, I felt lucky, not for her helping me, but for me sharing time with her, when that happened she tied to teach me how to solve more advanced math problem. At a very young age, I learned that math was not only a subject to struggle with in school, but it was logic, all those problems presented in my math class were some kind related to real life problems. When I understood that, I become more efficient at math, I was able to present a math problem in as many ways as I could, I saw mathematics more familiarly. Time passed, my sister left the small town where we lived to go to the city to follow her dreams and achieve a career, I thanked my her for those advises in math, and promised I would be just like her. Though, I thought I was not that great at math, not that low, but at least I could "understand" it. In no time, I became a 8th grader, or a "1st secondary grader" how it is known in Mexico.

  • 15. Thinking, Fractions And Decimals Are Extremely Important... Multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals are extremely important areas of mathematics children are required to develop. The concepts within these three areas are related and it is critical for educators to support these relationships in the classroom. Multiplicative thinking involves recall of basic facts, the relationship between multiplication and division and underpins the development of fractions. Comprehension of fractions includes the division of objects, fractions as numbers, the multiple ways equal fractions can be represented, as well as being represented as decimals. Place value is a very important underpinning concept of decimals. Place value aids the ability to read, write and work with decimals. There are a number of difficulties children can come across when developing these concepts and relationships. With a vast mathematical content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge educators can provide effective instruction to help children over come their difficulties. Developing a deep understanding of multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals will assist children in later mathematics. To become a multiplicative thinker the ability to recall basic multiplication facts and understanding of the relationship between multiplication and division must be developed. If children do not develop the ability to recall basic multiplication facts they can be in danger of developing negative feelings towards mathematics and becoming withdrawn (Booker, Bond, ...

I discussed with my CT what math concept I could teach that pertained to one of the 3rd grade standards. My CT told me that I could introduce the new concept of area to the class on the Friday that I was supposed to teach my lesson. I knew that that introducing a new topic on a Friday in an elementary classroom was not ideal as the majority of teachers that I have observed in the past usually wrap up their week's lessons on Friday. The Friday I was conducting my lesson was also a shorten day due to Fall Break, so I thought the students would show some off task behavior for the early release day. These circumstances made me think hard about how I was going to introduce the concept of area to the students in an effective way. I knew that I needed to have a lesson that included an exploratory hands– on activity to keep the students engaged and wanting to learn. Therefore, I decided to use cheese crackers as manipulatives to represent square units. The students were to first guess what the area of the different shapes in a worksheet packet were and then they were to use the crackers to figure out the actually area of the different shapes.

Michalczuk (2007) generalized students who could answer single–digit, 0 – 9, multiplication problems (2 times 3, or 5 times 7, etc.) "Within three seconds will do well at math and those that answer in less than one second will do excellent at math" (p. 1). Perso (2007) has defined the "looking back–to–basics" as a need to teach and focus on the basic arithmetic skills needed as a skill for higher level mathematics learning. In addition, Hersh (2009) stated that skills in general are more important than ever because they allow students to further their learning as well as make judgments about the meaning, adequacy, and accuracy of the overall content. Clavel (2003) stated if students wanted to engage and be successful in higher–order mathematical thinking skills, mastery of the multiplication table was critical. Henry and Brown (2008) reported "students who learn to use derived–fact strategies in concert with memorization are more likely to develop mathematical proficiency than those students who have memorized the facts without supplementary strategies" (p. 172). Wallace and Gurganus (2005) identified students who mastered the multiplication facts, not only acquired a more positive attitude to mathematics learning, but they also developed an overall positive mathematics experience.

There are several properties in algebra dealing with both integers and real numbers; one that will be the focus of this report will be the distributive property. We use this property when we are combining addition and multiplication in an algebraic expression. Let's say that you are presented with the expression 6x(2 + y) = 9x + 5xy, now with this problem the order of operation would have you to add the terms in parenthesis first, by using the distributive property it allows to simplify the problem by multiplying all ...

  • 21. Effects Of Positive Reinforcement Question: How will positive reinforcement affect speed and accuracy on a timed multiplication test? Purpose: To determine whether positive reinforcement has a bigger effect on speed or accuracy, and to what degree. Research: When I took AP Psychology last year, I learned that positive reinforcement will reinforce someone's behavior by making them associate the behavior with a positive stimulus. In my experience, rushing through things usually causes me to have a faster time, but a lower score. In a study published February of 1990, it was stated that "teachers' systematic use of certain categories of verbal statements, such as praise and reprimands, can have a positive impact on student behavior, achievement, or both." This seems to indicate that positive reinforcement and encouragement may have an effect on the achievement of students. However I was unable to find a study comparing the accuracy and speed of participants in a study, and so I will have to make a few assumptions of my own based on previous knowledge in order to form a hypothesis. Hypothesis: If people are given positive reinforcement on a timed multiplication test, then their overall speed will increase, while their overall accuracy will decrease.

C., 2015, p. 3). Symbolic representation using base–ten and expanded algorithms is a way to show students the written connection to the visual models used. The partial–products algorithm is a more detailed step–by–step process and therefore more advisable to avoid errors in students learning to grasp the procedure (Reys ch.11.4). This process allows students to visualise the distributive property more easily. However, the standardmultiplication algorithm is quicker and acceptable for students, if the teacher feels they have complete understanding of the steps in the partial–products algorithm. Multiplication by ten gives students opportunity to explore larger numbers, and can also be extended on(Reys et al. ch. 11.4). In addition, multiples of 10 give students the knowledge that all digits move left one place and an additional place hundreths. This concept can be used to introduce the decimal place which is also moving place each time something is multiplied by tens. Exposing students to a range of examples which displays patterns that occur when multiplying by tens and hundreths will generate meaning of digits moving place (Reys et al., ch. 11.4).

I felt it was time consuming, and detailed. I learned that formative assessment is extremely helpful in the classroom because you can see how well your students can apply what they have learned in your class. I learned a lot about the processes that students go through when taking a formative assessment. For example, in the text it discuses procedural knowledge as, "knowledge that is needed to carry out an action or solve a problem," (McMillian, James H. (2014). Classroom assessment: Principles and practice for effective standards– based Instruction (6th ed). Boston, MA: Pearson). I also saw through out this assessment the students were having a hard time with simply identifying or repeating the needed steps, (McMillian, 2014). Another important aspect of teaching with assessments is that its crucial to show, and tell the students what is expected of them in regards to showing work, and what objectives will be on the test. I can remember being in school, and having a test on some material that I wasn't told would be on the test, and how angry I felt. I will always ensure my criteria are clearly articulated. In this formative assessment project I learned that assessments are essential ways for teachers to evaluate their students, and also a good way to self reflect on your own lessons. In the "Assessment, Decision Making, and Learning Targets" lecture, I learned that assessments are a great way of knowing where the students are, and where you want them to be with knowledge and skills, (Heilbroner, 2016).

VEDIC MULTIPLIER The Vedic mathematics applicable over complex calculation, it reduces the typical calculation into a very simple one. This is so because the Vedic formulae are claimed to be based on the natural principles on which the human mind works. Vedic Mathematics is a methodology of arithmetic rules that allow more efficient speed implementation. It also provides some effective algorithms which can be applied to various branches of engineering such as computing. 1)UrdhvaTiryakbhyam Sutra The Vedic multiplier is depends on the "UrdhvaTiryagbhyam" sutra (algorithm). These Sutras have been traditionally used for themultiplication of two numbers in the decimal number system. In this work, we apply the same ideas to the binary number system to make the proposed algorithm compatible with the digital hardware. It is a general multiplication formula applicable to all cases of multiplication. It literally means "Vertically and Crosswise". It is based on a novel concept through which the generation of all partial products can be done with the concurrent addition of these partial products. The algorithm can be generalized for n x n bit number. Since the partial products and their sums are calculated in parallel, the multiplier is independent of the clock frequency of the processor. Due to its regular structure, it can be easily layout in microprocessors and designers can easily circumvent these problems to avoid catastrophic device failures. The processing power of multiplier can easily be increased by increasing the input and output data bus widths since it has a quite a regular structure. Due to its regular structure, it can be easily layout in a silicon chip. The Multiplier based on this sutra has the advantage that as the number of bits increases, gate delay and area increases very slowly as compared to other conventional

To me, dedication is more general. It is chasing a dream or goal relentlessly yet selflessly. It has shaped me into the person I am today. Dedication emerged in me when I first started school and competing in athletics, and it has led me to every major achievement. Twelve years after dedication started to model me into who I am today, I realized it was shaping my life when I became a National Merit Scholar and placed eighth at state wrestling, both in February of 2016.

I didn't choose to value dedication; external factors grew it up inside of me. Every youth soccer league practice and game, every wrestling practice and tournament, and every class I had were factors in the development of dedication. It's clear what made me become so dedicated. The question to ask myself is why these experiences instilled dedication in me. The first place to look is wrestling. It's a sport that can build or destroy character. Wrestling builds confidence. This confidence can grow or shrink depending on the outcome of competition. Some people become overconfident and others settle into the perfect amount of confidence.

Let us consider the multiplication of two decimal numbers (5498 Г— 2314). The conventional methods already know to us will require 16 multiplications and 15 additions. The numbers to be multiplied are written on two consecutive sides of the square as shown in the figure. The square is divided into rows and columns where each row/column corresponds to one of the digit of either a multiplier or a multiplicand. Thus, each digit of the multiplier has a small box common to a digit of the multiplicand. These small boxes are partitioned into two halves by the crosswise lines. Each digit of the multiplier is then independently multiplied with every digit of the multiplicand and the two–digit product is written in the common box. All the digits lying on a crosswise dotted line are added to the previous carry.

As it is known, multiplication is only a simplified version of addition; adding a number a fixed number of times. Therefore, first it is fundamental to have a satisfactory background in addition in order to dominate multiplication, including all the rules and properties such us the commutative, associative, and distributive properties. Another important knowledge is to learn the multiplication table from 0 to 12 at the top of our head. Finally, it is also recommended to keep in mind certain properties of multiplication but especially know the property that specifies the interaction between odd and even numbers. When an even number with an odd one or two even numbers are multiplied, the result will always be an even number; however, when two odd numbers are multiplied, the answer will be an odd number. It is essential to know such property because every time we have to multiply and look at the numbers we are multiplying; one will have a better idea of what the result is going to be.

  • 36. Disadvantages Of Multiplication In Mathematics Based on the Council of Teacher of Mathematics,(1993) "Multiplication involves the counting of units of a size other than one." The repeated addition definition while is a useful link between multiplication and addition is limiting if it is students' only concept of multiplication. The meaning of the multiplication sign, "Г—", depends on the language of the speaker. In Japanese it always means "multiplied by." "3 Г— 4" and "3 times 4" mean, "Three multiplied by four," or four groups of three items. In English, however, the sign means either "times" or "multiplied by," where"3 times 4," denotes three groups of four items, and "three multiplied by four" means four groups of three items. Therefore, in English the sign "Г—" has two interpretations ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The use of games and concrete materials can aid in pupils' recognition of the importance of Mathematics and its many different real applications. Educators views on the use of concrete materials and Manipulatives in the classroom Manipulative materials are objects that pupils can feel, touch, handle and move. The National Council of Teacher of Mathematics( 1993), proposes that pupils and teachers often view the use of manipulatives"as play time", but stress that using manipulatives is any excellent way to help learners make faster connection between mathematical ideas. It is also established that learning is enhanced when pupils are exposed to concepts in varying manipulative context. Learners who are at the concrete level deal with manipulative materials as they discover solution to problems. Many if not all games, involve object manipulation at some ...

  • 37. The Teacher Had Put On Board "Slightly and squeaky!" The door to the classroom flew open as I burst into the room and sat in my usual seat. This was the day I was going to learn how to do polynomial long division. "Good morning." The professor said, as she walked into the classroom. Almost every one of the students had at least a pencil and notebook, copying notes that the teacher had put on the board. After writing the notes down, I said to myself, let me try to do one of the problems that the teacher had put on board. Surprisingly, I could not start the problem because I did not even understand the first step. Therefore, I stopped and wait for the professor. After the teacher did the first problem, but she did not do or put all the steps on the board, she skipped some of it. She said "you guys should have known how to do this stuff already. This is not an elementary or grade school, so I am not going to do or write every little step. Without paying close attention and understand every single step and everything she was saying. The first thing I did was, I immediately started the next one. I started well. I did the first step which was the division part. Where I had to change the way the problem was writing and to look at that first number of the guy that I was going to divide into. I got stuck in the middle of step number two which was the multiplication part. In the multiplication step, I had to multiply the divisor with the quotient. However, I did not know if I had to put the answer right under ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 38. Building Parking Lots For A Mall Hello fellow construction workers, today we are scheduled to make parking lots for a mall. Before we sit down and do our blueprints, do you guys know the product of 2–two digit numbers using arrays by multiplication? What examples can you name where you have seen array multiplication? Example, Construction workers are planning to build new parking lots for a mall. There has to be a total of 3 floors. Floor 1 can fit 384 cars, Floor 2 can fit 169 cars, and Floor 3 can fit 144 cars. Show all of the array possibilities for all 3 floors. However, between each parking lot they have to be 2 inches apart. Draw 2 yellow lines to show the 2 inches. After, label each array as amultiplication problem. You will have to see what 2–two digit numbers ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Make sure to remember your multiplication tables. Let's try to solve the construction site. We have fifteen students in our class today, so that means we will have 5 groups of 3 people. Each group will have to come up with the best way possible to fit all cars on floor 1, 2, and 3 in the parking lots. Now, before you construct your parking lot, you must be able to complete your blueprints. In the blueprints, you show all the arrays for each floor that are best to be able to construct your floors. Check your blueprints with the supervisor (teacher). However, your floors will be made out of cardboard box that can be between 12 inches to 48 inches, nothing more and nothing less. Remember also between each parking space, they have to be 2 inches apart and to mark those inches you must draw your 2 yellow lines. Once you are able to construct your floors you can stack them up together and tape them up so they can hold. After all of that, you are ready to turn them it. Each group is engaged in the activity that is assigned to them. The classroom may stay quiet for a while, but you will notice their concentration on their blueprints and on how to construct their floors. We listen closely to how they are going to build their floors, and on how they solved their word problems. We can't wait to have their blueprints been checked by the supervisor (teacher) and to see what they are going to create based off of their ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 42. The Importance Of Multiplicative Thinking Multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals are important aspects of mathematics required for a deep conceptual understanding. The following portfolio will discuss the key ideas of each and the strategies to enable positive teaching. It will highlight certain difficulties and misconceptions that children face and discuss resources and activities to help alleviate these. It will also acknowledge the connections between the areas of mathematics and discuss the need for succinct teaching instead of an isolated approach. Multiplicative Thinking Multiplicative thinking is imperative to a child's understanding of important mathematical concepts and is seen as the 'big idea' in number that links multiple key ideas and strategies (Vergnaud, as cited in Siemon, 2011). Commonly, children have a procedural based view of multiplicative thinking which can hinder progress, as opposed to a more conceptual view which is a far better learning framework (Hurst & Hurrell, 2016). If teachers are to maximise a child's learning, they must acknowledge this and help children maintain a conceptual understanding of multiplicative thinking and emphasise this much more so than procedural rules. Several key ideas and strategies underpin the success of multiplicative thinking and a greater conceptual understanding. Hurst and Hurrell (2014) explain that children need to be acutely aware of the ten times multiplicative relationship between places and how this effects many aspects of mathematics. ...

  • 45. Science Reflection Today was Halloween, so my teacher had planned some really fun activities for the students to participate in. Before the students arrived, I talked with Mrs. Beach about the lesson that I would be teaching in two weeks. I also helped her set up the science experiment that the students would get to observe while they were working on another activity. When the students arrived, Mrs. Beach explained the science demonstration to the students and asked them to develop a hypothesis of what they thought might happen to the Peep Pumpkins when she put them in hot water, cold water, club soda, vinegar, and oil. She also asked them to predict what would happen when she put candy corn in these types of liquids. Once the students had made their predictions, Mrs. Beach asked for some of them to share their predictions. Three boys proceeded to share their hypotheses with the class. Mrs. Beach wanted some girls to share their hypotheses with the class, so she encouraged them by saying, "Come on girls, the boys are out doing you by sharing their hypotheses. Let's hear from some of the girls. What do you think will happen?" Even though I probably would not say these exact words, I really like how Mrs. Beach was encouraging the girls to share their thoughts as well. Following this exchange, Mrs. Beach proceeded to place the candy into the cups of liquid, and then she explained the next activity, Halloween Glyphs. I loved how prepared Mrs. Beach was for the Halloween Glyphs activity. Some of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Figure 3.6: Implementation of 8x8 Modified Booth Multiplier with HPM Reduction Method [4] The Figure.3.6 shows the implementation 8x8 modified booth multiplier using High Performance Multiplier (HPM) reduction method [4]. The modified booth algorithm is a predominant high performance multiplier which has low number of partial products row. The generation of these partial products is quite complex to implement in hardware. So in this work has used a straight forward way of implementing a Signed and Unsigned Multiplication using Baugh–Wooley Algorithm with HPM reduction tree method. Baugh–Wooley Multiplier with HPM reduction tree is discussed in Chapter Six. CHAPTER FOUR: LOW–POWER DESIGN 4.1 Introduction: In earlier stages of VLSI circuit design the emphasis is on Area and Speed optimization giving concerns to Packaging and Efficient designing. As the technology scales down according to predictions of Moor's Law, it is advent that the CMOS dimensions have been scaled down drastically. But due to increase in use of Portable Devices Such as Cellphones, Laptops, Personal Health Monitoring systems, there has been a demand of higher battery life for Portable devices. Whereas big data centers which contains large set of circuits consumes tremendous power and dissipates large amount of heat which incurs huge cost to maintain. The solution for these problems is to design circuits which consume low power which give rise to the concept of Low–Power VLSI designing. As this ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
