2016 NC Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference - Heart Math Tutoring

2016 NC Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference - Heart Math Tutoring 2016 NC Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference 2016 NC Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference December 22, 2016 By Padgett Sullivan and Cydney Kramer In November, Cydney and I attended the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference (NCCTM), in Greensboro NC. We were joined by hundreds of other North Carolina math teachers, coaches, and facilitators. It was exciting to be in a place with so many other education professionals who value math education as much as the Heart team! We had many of our mathematical beliefs confirmed, but also learned important new things about how to best support our students! We’ve summarized some of our findings below. The Role of Assessment in Math “Test less, assess more.” While that may seem contradictory, tests are generally summative and let us know what a student has mastered. An assessment lets us know where students are in the process toward mastery and allows us adjust our instruction accordingly. Blurring the line between instruction and assessment allows us to better tailor our instruction. The implication for Heart is that mini-assessments need to not only be a test at the end of a notebook, but an avenue for the coordinator and tutor to learn (at any point along the way toward mastery) what a student is able to do and what he/she still needs to work on. A “failed” mini-assessment is not a failure at all it gives us important information about a student’s mathematical understanding. For example, you may learn that a student can tell you easily “how many less” when the two quantities are only one or two different but has trouble keeping track when the difference is larger. AnOperational view of the Equal Sign vs. a Relational view “Whatever value you have on the left, you must have on the right.” After listening to the researcher Zachary Champagne talk about students’ understanding of the equal sign and watching videos of students explaining it, Cydney and I were stunned by how many students believe the equal sign means “answer.” When given true false equations, most students didn’t believe that 4=4 was true, or that 2+3=3+2 was true, as they had only ever seen equations with an addition or subtraction problem on the left, and the answer on the right. If students are never exposed to anything else, it is understandable that they would find those equations odd or even untrue. It is important for coordinators and tutors to help students understand that the equal sign indicates a balance and means “the same as” rather than “put answer here.” In addition to some minor curriculum updates which will allow students to see equations in a variety of ways, coordinators can and should “push in” to correct students’ operational view of the symbol to prepare them for algebra and other higher level math. See Hearts two-minute tutoring tip here! Mindsets in Math As we all know, students’ mindset about math greatly affects their performance in math. It isforthisreason that one of Heart’s core values is “growth mindset.” It is important for students to see mistakes as learning experiences and as a natural, healthy consequence of trying. It is important for coordinators and tutors to continue to instill in their students a growth mindset (rather than fixed mindset, where intelligence is predetermined at birth), so that they persevere through challenges in math and in life. Coordinators can ensure that tutors are asking students the metacognition and reflection questions as they are leaving the tutoring room. “What was hard about today? What was easy? What do I need more practice on?” This gets students into the habit of reflecting on their effort and normalizes the idea that some things are easy andsome things are hard.It is only by struggling through the hard things that our brains grow and become stronger!

GMAT Review Series Sentence Correction - Meaning

GMAT Review Series Sentence Correction - Meaning GMAT MBA Admissions Blog In this portion of our GMAT Review Series, we’ll take a look at a Sentence Correction: Meaning question. One of the biggest concepts regarding sentence correction that we must remember isthe meaning of the sentence is always going to be more important than grammar. Key pointers from this video: Begin by setting up your scratch pad to help you ID the Error CategoryWrite the question number with a line beside it to write any errors you identify in the sentence or the answer choices. You are looking for a category, not a single specific error. In this example, we ID pronouns as the error. Intended Meaning Arbitrary GrammarWe must always remember that the meaning of the sentence is going to be more important than grammar. Identify the subject and make sure that the answer choices agree with it. Taking a look at the answer choices to ID any similaritiesIn this case â€" “it” appears throughout a majority of the answer choices… as we evaluate it in each answer choice we can deduce that the error being tested here is a pronoun. Read literally to identify absurd choicesPlug each answer choice into the sentence to determine if it still conveys the samemeaning or if it, in fact, makes no sense.

Five Fast Mental Multiplication Methods

Five Fast Mental Multiplication Methods Fast mental multiplication methods enable you to check whether the cashier asks for the right amount during checkout. Anyone taking the SAT test is short on time. Being able to multiply fast mentally allows you to answer more questions, thus score higher and get accepted in that Ivy League college you’re dreaming about. Many people are outright terrified having to do math in their head. They need to reach for the calculator. Surprisingly and thankfully, there exists a number of fast mental multiplication methods. In this article, TutorZ  presents 5 of them. Method #1  Multiplication by 4 Most people need to find the calculator first in order to multiply 58 by 4 which is 232.   But there is an easy way to compute the result in one’s head (although for some of you this technique might be obvious). Steps for method #1 Multiplication by 4 Step 1 Multiply the larger number by 2. Step 2 Double the result (or add the result to itself). Example:       58 x 4 Step 1 58 x 4 = (58 x 2) + (58 x 2) Step 2 (116) + (116) = 232 The result is 232. That wasn’t so hard, was it? Method #2 Multiplication by 5 Many people memorize the multiplication table for 5 with smaller numbers quite easily. For example; 5 x 1 = 5, 5 x 2 = 10, 5 x 3 = 15 and so on. But when dealing with large numbers, it gets complicated. Or do you know 2681  x 5 by heart?  If not, I suggest the following simple technique to multiply by 5. Steps for method #2 Multiplication by 5: Step 1 Take the larger number and divide it by 2 (in other words half it). Step 2 If the result of step 1 is a whole number (no trailing .5) append a 0. Step 3 If the result of step 1 is a fraction (that is .5 at the end) forget the fractional part. Instead append a 5 at the end of the result. First Example:    12 x 5 Step 1 12 / 2 = 6. Step 2 The result of step 1 is a whole number (6), so we append a zero  to the six. Step 3 Not applicable because no fraction is involved. The result is 60. Second Example:      2681  x 5 Step 1 2681 / 2 = 1340.5 Step 2 Not applicable because the result of step 1 is a fraction. Step 3 The result of step 1 is a fraction (1340.5), so we ditch the .5 in favor of the 5 at the end. The result is 13405.  Amazing! Method #3 Multiplication by 11 We all know that when multiplying by 10 you simply add 0 to the end of the number. But multiplying by 11 is not that simple. Or is it? These are 4 simple steps to multiply a two-digit number by 11. Step 1 Take the number other than 11 and imagine a space between two characters (in this example, we use the number 52). Step 2 Now in the space in the middle copy the numbers. Step 3 Add the inner two numbers. Step 4 Write the result of step 3 down in the middle. First Example:     52 x 11 Step 1 5_2 Step 2 5_5_2_2 Step 3 5_(5+2)_2 Step 4 5_(7)_2 The result is 572. Second Example:     99 x 11 If adding the numbers in parentheses obtained a two-digit number, as 18 is in this example, remember the second number and add one to the first number: Step 1 9_9 Step 2 9_9_9_9 Step 3 9_(9+9)_9 = 9_18_9 Step 4 (9+1)_8_9 =  10_8_9 The result is 1089. Method #4:  Multiplying by Itself (Squaring) This technique quickly squares a number that ends in 5. A number that ends in 1,2,3,4 or 6,7,8,9 does not apply to method #4. This is how it goes: Step 1 Take the first digit off of one of the numbers. Step 2 Add one to this first digit. Step 3 Multiply the result on the first digit, the same first digit as in step 1. Step 4 Append 25 at the end. Example:        25 x 25 Step 1 2 Step 2 2+1 = 3 Step 3 3 x 2 = 6 Step 4 6 append 25 = 625 The result is 625. For those who what to solve method 4 even quicker, note it can be written in a single line:   (2+1) x 2 append “25” = 625. Method #5:  Complex Multiplication Unless you’re the savant Daniel Tammet who effortlessly multiplies large numbers we need to use a calculator.   Fortunately, if one of the numbers is even, you can successively multiply one number by 2 and divide the other by 2 also. Example:        32 x 125 Step 1 16 x 250 is the same as Step 2 8 x 500 is the same as Step 3 4 x 1000  which you can now easily solve as  4000. Thus, the result is 4000. These five fast mental multiplication methods empower you to double check the amount you have to pay at the cash register, or if the situation is right to impress your math teacher, parent or even your boyfriend or girlfriend. Still having trouble getting these techinques? Then we recommend you to get in touch with one of TutorZ math whizz tutors to learn these or other five fast mental multiplication methods.

How to Make Your Resume Stand Out to Hiring Managers

How to Make Your Resume Stand Out to Hiring Managers Photo by Steve Johnson on Unsplash Start out by brainstorming   You definitely do not want to have a resume that is several pages long just because you threw everything piece of experience you have under your belt onto paper. Its one way to lose the interest of hiring managers when they have to dig or close read your resume to find out if you are actually right for the job. You want to make sure your resume lists out what is necessary for the job position you are going for in order to make your resume stand out to hiring managers. If you are not quite sure on where to start out list out the positions you have held in the past. It may be time spent in a volunteer organization, a summer internship, or other part-time jobs. While your experience (or lack of) might make you feel reluctant to go after your desired job position, try to take any bit of experience and turn it into your advantage. An extensive amount of time as a part-time fast food worker may not seem like it has anything to do with the office job you are going after, but brainstorm different ways that your time as a fast food part-timer will help you fill the job position as needed. Think of the responsibilities you had and how you used your skills to accomplish and fill the role you needed to. Taking orders isnt the most attractive thing to put on your resume but turn those experience into other skills of communication, interpersonal skills, and so on. Make your resume stand out to hiring managers by making the most of your previous experience. Focus on what you have done rather than what you could do   You can spend plenty of space on your resume writing out skills that would help you qualify for the job position that hiring managers are looking to fill, but to truly make your resume stand out to hiring managers, focus on detailing what you have done in the past. Turning the focus on what you have done serves multiple functions. You will get to showcase your past experience by detailing what you have done in previous positions and will be able to back up any skills that your resume details when you have a statement of what you have done in previous positions. Instead of advertising your skills blindly, put down concrete proof of your accomplishments to back up whatever your resume advertises. If possible, quantify whatever accomplishments you can. List out the number of clients you brought to a previous company, quantify the number of sales you had in a specific amount of times. If you are able to put down numbers on your resume, you can help make your resume stand out to hiring managers as they can see proof of what you are capable of. By highlighting your accomplishments in your resume, you are showing hiring managers that you are capable of getting the work of the job position done instead of just writing you are capable of it. Include a cover letter Remember when teachers would make you include a front page on long reports or important essays? Their function was to give the first look at what the rest of the essay entailed and who it was by. The same idea should go for your resume. You want to make your resume stand out to hiring managers by giving them something that would catch their attention from a start include a cover letter. While you arent there to make the ultimate first impression to hiring managers, your cover letter could be. A cover letter is essentially an introduction to your resume and should effectively express your interest in the job you are applying for. Try not to overwhelm the cover letter with excessive bragging of your skills or experience you can do that in your resume! Make your resume stand out by tailoring the cover letter to the company you are applying for and do research. Figure out what the company stands for, what environment they make for their employees, and so on. Include these details in your cover letter by detailing how you can make the company better by being as specific to the company as possible instead of going the general route and saying you are a good worker. Attaching a perfected cover letter is a great way to make your resume stand out to hiring managers. Photo by Helloquence on Unsplash Tailor your resume to the job Make your resume stand out by making your stand out in a pool full of applicants. Yes, you will want to exceed in a set of skills in order to full a variety of positions but hiring managers will be looking for an applicant that can fit a specific position with a specific set of skills. Make sure that your resume is tailored to the position that you are applying for edit out experience that isnt particularly helpful to the position or add experience that would actually help you excel in the position. You may think that putting all the experience you have on your resume will help you make your resume stand out and help you secure your job, but it will just end up making your resume unnecessarily lengthy and make it even harder for a hiring manager to fish through your lengthy resume to find what actually pertains to the job they are hiring for. A hiring manager looking to fill a position for an office job wont want to read half a page detailing several summers spent babysitting neighborhood kids when it brings nothing spectacular to the position. While your resume may have worked for the last job position you applied for, it may not exactly work this specific job position. It may be the same job position/description as the last, but every company varies when it comes to their work environment, company values, and so on. The hiring manager is going to be hiring with their company in mind and its important to remember that when writing your resume for different job applications. Even if its just editing out a line or two, or including another piece of experience you normally wouldnt include try tailoring your resume to the specific job position/company you are applying for as much as possible. Rather than just selling yourself as an ideal employee for a number of jobs, you want to make your resume stand out to relay that you alone are the perfect fit for the specific position the hiring manager is looking for. Putting in the extra effort to make sure that your position reflects the amount of genuine interest you have in the job and be another factor in making your resume stand out to hiring managers. Infographic by Kaitlin Hurtado via canva.com Include a header A header will come in handy especially if you end up choosing not to include a cover letter. Maybe you didnt have enough time to type up the perfect letter if you stumble across a competitive position last minute. A header at the top of your resume will serve as a quick introduction to yourself and your capabilities by including personal information and a branding statement. An effective headline should include your name, address, and contact information (mailing address and telephone number). Along with your personal information, include a branding statement that advertises you and your capabilities in a short, yet effective statement. An effective header will help make your resume stand out to hiring managers when they know what you are bringing to the table at the first glance of your resume. Just as you would for a cover letter and resume, make sure your header is tailored to the specific job position you are applying for, if possible. Dont over customize your resume with fonts and colors When thinking of ways you can make your resume stand out to hiring managers, you may think a well-customized resume can do the job. You may want to use fancy fonts to make your resume more fancy or different colors to make different lines stand out among others, but you essentially will decrease your resumes readability to hiring managers. A cursive font on a restaurant menu may make its entrees seem more appetizing, but for hiring managers, a resume full of a cursive font can make them want to toss your resume if they are struggling to read it. Try going for a more simple font that is easy to read. The easier your resume is easier to read, the more focus and attention a hiring manager can apply to your actual accomplishments and capabilities. While its acceptable to change up whether or not something is italicized or in all caps, you want to make sure your resume is still clean in the sense that it is easy to read for hiring managers. Remember its your experience and skill set that is important to hiring managers, not how pretty you can make your resume. Always proofread or get a second opinion Once youve spent plenty of time working on perfecting your resume, the last thing you may want to do is to spend even more time scrutinizing it for any mistakes. However, you dont want to make all of your efforts to make your resume stand out fail just because of a few spelling errors or grammatical mistakes. Run through your resume and cover letter a few more times. Check for spelling. If you rearranged the order of your resume during your editing, make sure the flow of your resume is intact and that there arent repeats of certain lines or lines that are out of order. If you want to go one step further, ask a friend to review your resume and cover letter for you. Having a second pair of eyes that havent spent the same amount of time staring at your resume will ensure that even more possible mistakes are caught before they reach the eyes of the hiring manager. Asking a friend to review your resume will also help you get another opinion on your resume. Tell them about the company and position you are applying for and ask them if your resume will catch the attention of the companys hiring manager. Ask them what part of your resume works, or what part you still need to work on. Resumes can be the first thing that hiring managers can look at in the job application, so it is important to make your resume stand out to hiring managers. By editing your resume to the best of your ability, you will help your resume make a great first impression on hiring managers even if you are unable to do so.
