Logo Programming

lynnie1310 — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 15:49:02 +0000

Programming your computer is giving it instruction to take some sort of action. Logo commands act on Logo objects to turn your computer into an appliance you can use to explore and create. With Logo you can move the turtle to create graphics images on the computer screen.

By creating your own commands, or procedures, you expand the vocabulary of Logo and give your computer the capability to do what you want it to in your own words. I have done some example of creating procedure using the Logo Programming. Click here –>logo-programming1.doc

What Is Euclidean Software?

Euclidean Reality is a dynamic geometry builder. Euclidean is a software to design geometric figures. With Euclidean Reality, children can create exact figures regarding their mathematical properties, distort them freely, check properties such as angles and lengths, print figures and export them in several formats, vectorial or bitmap. Children can perform any kind of configuration in Euclidean geometry.

Here is an example of children activities on Eculidean Software….child-activities-using-euclidean-software-2.doc

Effective Teaching and Learning Strategies For Mental Computation in Upper Primary Level

Introducation

What do we mean by Mental Computation?

When people hear the term “Mental Computation” many think of the mental arithmetic problems they did at school. Mental arithmetic focuses on producing correct answers quickly. While not neglecting the correctness of the answer, Mental Computation emphasises the mental processes used to achieve the answer. To develop mental computation in the classroom, teachers can encourage students to explain how they arrives at their answers and to compare their strategies with those of other students. Number sense refers to a person’s understanding of number concepts, operations, and applications of numbers and operations. It includes the ability and inclination to use this understanding in flexible ways to make mathematical judgements and to develop useful strategies for handling numbers and operations. Hence, mental computation is closely linked to the development of number sense. Emphasising mental computation supports effective numeracy since mental computation is commonly used for calculations by adults and is the simplest way of doing many calculations.
