For each level of cognitive demand, create or find a task that provides an example of that particular level of demand. Justify why your task is an example of that level of cognitive demand

Post a comment in the discussion board using these prompts:

• What ideas did you find useful or powerful?
• How might you promote these ideas in your school?
• What challenges might you face when sharing the information?
• What can YOU do to overcome each of the challenges you listed when sharing the information?

After watching Maths Ability Grouping: Setting Ability Groups and reading Marshall (2016) Rethinking differentiation — using teachers’ time most effectively, post a comment in the discussion board using these prompts:

• How does within-class ability grouping fit into the equity puzzle?
• Is it helping or hurting?

For your discussion board post, I’d like you to focus on the sections, “Challenging teachers’ deficit notions at the individual level” and “addressing deficit notions at the community level” (pages 143-148) from the Battey & Chan chapter. 

Choose one or two sentences from either one of these sections that struck you as important or valuable, and describe what you thought was important about it, making connections to other parts of the chapter.  I encourage you to apply the ideas to your own context–could you imagine having these conversations in your building?

answer the following questions.

 

2. Give an original example, one you create or design yourself, of a study for each of the study designs listed below:  a. Experimental design  b. Quasi Experimental design      

 

For each of the following questions identify and describe the independent and dependent variables. Justify your answers.      

 

3. Do persons in this class know more about statistics than the average college student?      

4. Are children in single-parent families more likely to be delinquents than those that are in dual-parent families?      

5. Do persons with high anxiety have better reasoning ability than those with low anxiety?

Below is a list of a few of the educators and researchers who have influenced mathematics education. Select one. Find information about this person. Create a post on the Mathematics Educator/Researcher discussion board that summarizes what you learned about the person. Be sure to include how they influenced mathematics education. If another student has already posted about your choice, just add some additional information. Check back later to read the posts of other students and learn more about those who have influenced mathematics education.
