Mathematical Aspects Transition and cycle matrices Suppose that a certain Life pattern is cyclic with period N. Suppose also that the pattern is viewed in The Rainbow game with a given initial black and white distribution. Let furthermore the colour of each cell in each generation be represented by a colour index v n [j], where n represents the generation and j the cell number. It is assumed that the cells in each generation has a given ordering such that corresponding cells N generation s apart (when the pattern has resumed its original appearence) have the same cell number. The totality of all colour indices in a given generation n can then be represented by a vector v n of dimension r n , where r n is the number of cells in the nth generation. v is the initial distribution. From the colouring rule it follows that there is a linear relation between the vectors v n and v n+1 which can be expressed by means of a transition matrix T n such that v n+1 = T n v n Hence T n is a r n+1 x r n -dimensional matrix.

For Age: 4 years and up LeapPad by LeapFrog At Amazon on 4-15-2003. More Info This talking book comes with an interactive ''magic pen'' that works like a hand-held computer mouse pointer. Children can opt to turn the paper pages and listen to the story read with different voices for each character. Or they can interrupt the read-aloud session to play with the magic pen (permanently attached with a wire). They can point the pen tip to any word on a page and hear it pronounced, or touch a picture and hear a sound effect (such as ''Strike one!'' for the baseball bat). Very similar to the popular Living Books computer games, this 10-by-11-inch book is more portable than a home computer. Stories in this set include Lil's Loose Tooth, Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, and Winnie the Pooh in A Sweet Good Morning. The set also includes a paper piano keyboard and map and human anatomy games. Gail Hudson Batteries: 4 AAbatteries required.

For example, if Joe, Mary, Jose, and Alana are part of a listserve discussing math projects for seventh graders, then when one of them sends email to mathproject7@math.washington.edu, the message will go to all of them.

Mrs. McGowan's First Grade Spring Lake, New Jersey It's been a cold, snowy winter in Spring Lake, New Jersey! We certainly missed the opportunity to find a math problem during our outside recess time. However we did find an interesting problem right in our own "classroom community". Spring Lake is small town on the Atlantic coast, located between Philadelphia and New York City. It has a beautiful beach, lovely shops, many fun things to do, and a great school - H.W. Mountz Elementary. Of course we think our town is very special! First graders are often amazed to find out that other places might have the same name. Washington, DC and the state of Washington are on opposite sides of the country. Right here in New Jersey, there's more than one town of Washington. With this in mind, we decided to extend our usual study of weather and record weather conditions in other "Spring Lake" communities as well as our own. Using the Internet, we found four other "Spring Lakes": in North Carolina, Missouri, Minnesota, and Michigan. The students had previously been introduced to reading a thermometer and were able to locate the temperature readings on the weather website. They wondered how math could be used to learn more about weather. Elizabeth suggested that "...you use math to tell how fast a storm is coming". Other students thought that knowing the temperature helps to decide what to wear or do.

You will receive a confirmation message; be sure you save it,it includes instructions on how to post messages to the group and how to unsubscribe. J anet Banks posted this message on the Multi-age Listserv. Teachers of multi-age classrooms have expressed concerns when it comes to teaching math, one of the most difficult areas to plan for, when you have a wide range of achievement levels. Some have posted questions here about math instruction for multi-agers, and I have been receiving many private requests for help, so it may be helpful to put some of my beliefs and suggestions on the list. If you have math programs with adopted textbooks, you can consider the following: Textbook activities can be used, looking at several different levels and listing activities from each textbook according to the difficulty of the material. Assignments can be given according to difficulty, with students completing activities from several different books, without concern over which grade level the book is intended for. Use such items as snap cubes and bean sticks for teaching adding and subtracting, use geoboards for teaching geometry terms, use spinners for teaching probability, draw pictures to show symmetry, divide groups of objects to show division, etc. Design problem solving activities that contain work on various levels of difficulty. Everyone can have a part to do to help solve the problem, but the students with more knowledge can do the most difficult work, then explain to others how they have found the answers. When you are ready to teach concepts, you will find that students will catch on faster since they've seen and heard something about it before.

I didn't know math could be so fun. 5th Grader I had a lot of fun this week. I learned about different kinds of symmetry like slide, flip, and turn. I learned about center/zero/origin. I also learned about chugging, clogging/flatfooting. I learned how to walk the heel. I learned a lot more but those were my favorites. Math in your feet was really cool. I wish we could do it again! 5th Grader I liked the dances that you taught us but it can’t take over my favorite music which is hiphop. I liked the chug dance, but I liked the basic step the most. This was a really fun week. I learned a lot. Thank you. 5th Grader I liked Math in your feet because you get to stand up and do things instead of just sitting there and writing. I learned the following steps: chug, basic step, walk the heel and I made my own dance. 5th Grader Math In Your Feet!™ Standards Program Requirements Sample Activities Artist Bio ...

In addition, games can motivate students and engage them in thinking about and applying concepts and skills. This first part, Playing Fraction Track, contains an interactive version of a game (based on the work of Akers, Tierney, Evans, and Murray [1998] that can be used in the grades 3–5 classroom to support students' learning about fractions. By working on this activity, students have opportunities to think about how fractions are related to a unit whole, compare fractional parts of a whole, and find equivalent fractions, as discussed in the Number and Operations Standard . In the second part, The Role of the Teacher, two video clips illustrate communication about mathematics among a teacher and her students. The third part, Communication among Students, shows how activities like this allow students to use communication as a tool to deepen their understanding of mathematics, as described in the

TABLE OF CONTENTS PART II. 4 HABITS OF MIND The top face of the cube represents the Habits of Mind that students should develop in both scientific and mathematical thinking. A habit is any activity that is so well established that it occurs without thought on the part of the individual. The Habits of Mind are those well-established thinking behaviors and patterns characteristic of methodical and logical thinking. Specifically: problem solving, communicating, reasoning, and making connections. Problem Solving "To solve a problem is to find a way where no way is known off-hand, to find a way out of a difficulty, to find a way around an obstacle, to attain a desired end that is not immediately attainable, by appropriate means." Problem situations for younger children arise from everyday experiences. ( "Do you have enough money to buy your lunch and to pay for your yearbook?" ). As students become more mathematically sophisticated, problem situations also spring from within mathematics itself ( "Can the product of two prime numbers be a prime number?" ). Problem solving is much more than applying specific techniques to the solution of a class of problems. It is a process by which the fabric of mathematics is both constructed and reinforced.
