Here are some conjectures based on the given patterns using inductive reasoning:
a. The number of dots in each successive figure increases by one in both the row and column. Therefore, the next figure will have 4 dots arranged in a 2 by 2 square.
b. The dot inside the diamond moves counterclockwise to the next vertex, while the dot inside the rectangle moves clockwise to the next vertex. Therefore, the next figure will show the dot in the diamond at the bottom right vertex and the dot in the rectangle at the top left vertex.
c. Each term is obtained by doubling the previous term. Therefore, the next term should be 32.
d. Each term is obtained by multiplying the previous

Junior Primary Mathematics was developed for in-service training of junior primary/foundation phase teachers in South Africa in the late 1990s. However, with the exception of Chapter Three, the topics and approaches will be useful for the training of junior primary mathematics teachers in other African countries. In order to adapt the book, Chapter Three could simply be replaced with a chapter covering the scope and expectations of the national curriculum in the particular country for which it is intended.A pdf version of the resource is also available.
Mathematics for Primary School Teachers. Unit 1: Space and ShapeSaide OER Africa
Mathematics for Primary School Teachers has been digitally published by Saide, with the Wits School of Education. It is a revised version of a course originally written for the Bureau for In-service Teacher Development (Bited) at the then Johannesburg College of Education (now Wits School of Education).
The course is for primary school teachers (Foundation and Intermediate Phase) and consists of six content units on the topics of geometry, numeration, operations, fractions, statistics and measurement. Though they do not cover the entire curriculum, the six units cover content from all five mathematics content areas represented in the curriculum.
This unit presents an analytical approach to the study of shapes, including the make-up of shapes, commonalities and differences between shapes and a notation for the naming of shapes.

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.

7. The Essentials of Unit I
Geometry
This unit covers five chapters that deal with the art of reasoning, points, lines, planes,
angles, transversal lines, and polygons.
In Chapter 1, you will learn new ways to reason mathematically and to use the different
kinds of reasoning in formulating conjectures. Chapter 2 will help you understand the different
models of points, lines, and planes in space, and how they can be used to determine the
relationships between segments and to prove theorems. In Chapter 3, you will learn the different
kinds of angles based on their measurements and the different geometric figures that can be
modeled by the different pairs of angles. Chapter 4 will introduce the angles formed by a
transversal line, and the perpendicularity and parallelism of lines. Finally, Chapter 5 will cover
convex and concave polygons and the angles in a polygon. All of these topics are essential tools
in understanding geometry.

III. Read and analyze each problem carefully.
1. What can you conclude about the size range of carrots if you measure 20 carrots and
found that they are all between 6 and 8 inches long? Which type of reasoning are you
going to apply? Justify your answer.
2. As you enter a room, you suddenly observe that the room is dark. You wonder why the
room is dark and you attempt to find explanations out of curiosity. You thought of a lot
of possibilities why the room is dark. You might think that the lights are turned off or
the room’s light bulb has burnt out, and worst, you could be going blind. What are you
going to do to test your hypotheses? Will you apply inductive or deductive reasoning?
Justify your answer.
3. Look for an article that shows how deductive and inductive reasonings are used in
scientific studies. Share it with the class and let the class formulate conjectures
from the article. Cite your references. (For example: If 300 out of 1 000 people got
better in taking vitamins, then 30% of any population might also get better in taking
vitamins.)
