Measurement in the field - techniques Introduction: Vegetation management on both public and private land, in farm forestry, native forests, gardens and parkland provides examples of monitoring techniques which can be applied with students. Understanding and applying the techniques used in the field to measure individual trees and stands provides students with an insight into the roles and work of forest and other natural resource management scientists.
Patterns in Mathematics. Skip Counting. Horus Eye Fractions. The ancient Egyptian system of measures provides another example of number signs conceived as a coherent system.
In the so- called “Horus-eye fractions”1, the designer of a numerical sequence linked its members also into a unified whole derived from a myth, just as in the series of numerals for the powers of ten. Gay Robins and Charles Shute describe this series of measures in their book on “The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus”, an ancient Egyptian mathematics text for apprentice scribes : “The common unit of volume, used for measuring amounts of grain or flour, was the hekat, approximately equal to 4.8 litres or just over a [British] gallon. (...) For smaller amounts, the hekat could be progressively halved to give /2, /4, /8, /16, /32, and /64 fractions. (...) [These ] are known as the Horus-eye fractions, because they were written with distinctive signs that resemble the parts of the eye of the falcon- headed god Horus, known as the wedjat-eye.

Ask them to name the different time frames within a day—morning, afternoon, and night. Have students share activities they participate in during the morning time (for example, wake up, eat breakfast, and brush teeth), afternoon (for example, eat lunch, play outside, and go home from school), and night (for example, eat supper, do homework, and watch TV). If students have difficulty, ask such guiding questions as “When do you eat breakfast?” Or “When do you take a bath?” For older students, you might ask them if they know exactly what time (to the hour) they do these things. Read the story The Grouchy Ladybug, by Eric Carle, to the class. After reading the story, introduce the attributes of time using real clocks. Distribute a copy of the Morning, Noon, and Night Activity Sheet to each student.
Assessments At this point, it is important to assess whether or not students understand the attributes of time. Extensions Questions for Students 1. 2. Lessons. Units of Capacity Worksheets.

Addition_and_subtraction. Experiences before starting school On their arrival at school, small children are likely to be aware that the world of numbers exists, and may be able to: Recite the numbers up to 20 in order.
Write the numerals 0 to 9. Grasp the connection between the numeral ‘3’, the word ‘three’ and a picture such as or . Motivation Addition and subtraction are two of the ways we work with numbers. Subtraction and addition are inverse operations. For example, 6 = 4 + 2 is equivalent to 6 − 4 = 2 and also 6 − 2 = 4. The ability to add numbers in your head is used when you play, or watch sport and when you buy a couple of items at the shops. Formal or written algorithms are useful when larger numbers make mental calculations difficult. A student will not develop a number-sense, or fluency with operations, if they move to calculators too quickly. Content A child can develop the basic ideas related to addition whilst investigating the place value system. Teachingmathforlearning - LIU (18) TTLP Lessons.
