Once completed, you will submit this document to WGU for grading. Instruct What student misconceptions have you encountered related to fraction, decimal, and percentage concepts? How do you help students understand the notion of equivalence among fractions or prepare them for this understanding? One misconception I have encountered with fraction is that students have a misunderstanding of what the denominator and numerator represent when using a visual aid. For example, if given a picture with ¾ shaded, they cannot identify which is the denominator…

splitting, fractions, equivalent fractions, and other math concepts. Lesson Plan Common Core State Standards Alignments Grade: 02 CCSS.Math.Content.2.G.A.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape. Grade: 02…

For this curriculum study, I chose third grade mathematics as my unit of study. As far as my objectives go, I would want my students to walk away from this particular section of fractions with the understanding of what a fraction is, the difference between the components of a fraction such as the numerator and denominator, knowing how to identify how many parts of a whole are shaded in, and knowing how to simplify a fraction. As far as my instructional method, I created an original prezi, which…

Recognize the Numerator of Self-Worth Recognition is a powerful tool in both business and life. Recognition is the fuel of our self-worth and many of us crave it above all else. At some level, we all want recognition. In fact, when we do something to receive recognition and none is forthcoming, we feel hurt. At this point, we are on a cross road and can respond in one of two basic ways. First, we can increase our efforts in the hopes to break the recognition threshold in others. Second, we can…

told the student the two fractions were equivalent. I asked him what the denominator would be for the second fraction and he said 8. He stared at the problem for a minute and then wrote “x2” next to the 1 and 4 of the first fraction. I asked him how he decided 8 was the denominator was 8 and he said “I multiplied the numerator and the denominator by 2 because 2 is the numerator in one of them.” Question 2: For the second question, I said “2/3 is equal to how many 6ths?” and the student wrote…

is that it caused this student to explain to the class and me that the reason that the answer was not completed was because it was not simplified. Since the student said it wasn’t simplified, I asked the rest of the class the following, “Since the answer is not simplified what number can go into both of these numbers (the numerator and the denominator) evenly?” This allowed the students to ponder over what number when into both the numerator and the denominator equally. The reason that I did…

and 28 of a pizza in another box. How much pizza was there altogether? a) 38 b) 316 c) 138 d) 1 The correct answer is option a) 38 . It is imperative for children to investigate strategies to solve problems that involve addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator (11, ACMNA103). Students may have the following misconceptions:  Adding numerator and denominator separately, instead of adding only the numerators of fractions that have a common denominators, and so…

standardize hospital event reporting, AHRQ developed a set of event definitions and incident reporting tools known as the “Common Formats”. The authors felt improvements are difficult to demonstrate without clear definitions and without adequate funding/staffing. To speak to its veracity, a sound definition must have a common, contemporary following and be technically vetted through consensus of professional’s opinions in peer-review journals. For useful evaluation, a sound definition of the…

As you mentioned finding the source of the infection and the denominators is paramount. As an epidemiologist, finding the source of infection to limit the spread of disease and collect statistical information for government reporting. Statistical information includes the number of those infected and those potentially affected by the disease. The denominator of an incidence proportion is the number of persons at the start of the observation period, in this case syphilis the 10 young persons with…

Meaningful Use Regulation #8 refers to Patient Electronic Access. The objective of this regulation allows the patient to receive their health record within four business days of an encounter with their Eligible Provider (EP). This entails viewing online, downloading and transferring their health information if desired. This regulation is broken down into two core measures. The objective is only met when both measures are satisfied. 1. To meet the first core measure, the EP must give greater…
