Real-World Connections to Area and Perimeter
Often, students confuse the concepts of area and perimeter and may use the area formulas and perimeter formulas interchangeably. Without building conceptual understanding, area and perimeter concepts become purely symbolic. Developing connections through concrete models and relating area and perimeter to the real world will help to stimulate student thinking and make these abstract concepts more meaningful.

In this Application, you will solve a real-world mathematical task related to area and perimeter using one or more of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice. You will then create a similar task and implement it with a group of students.

Consider the following mathematical task:

Track and Field Problem

Solve the Track and Field Problem. As you do so:

Make note of your problem-solving strategies.
Make note of your problem-solving strategies.
Reflect on how you incorporate the Standards for Mathematical Practice while problem solving.
Then, create a learning activity for students (similar to the task you solved) that incorporates the concepts of area and perimeter of two-dimensional figures in a real-world context and is cognitively demanding. Consider how to include the use of mathematical drawings or other visuals to support the learning of area and perimeter concepts, as well as other strategies to encourage the development of the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

Implement the activity with a group of learners or a classroom of students. If you are not currently teaching, you may complete these assignments by working with students from another teacher’s classroom or by working with children you know. While the mathematical task may not fit directly with your current curriculum, implementing the task with students is the best way to improve and reflect upon your teaching practice. If whole-class implementation is not feasible, consider ways to implement the task with a small group of students during recess, at lunch, or before or after school.

During implementation, pay close attention to how students respond to and engage in the mathematical task. Collect data, particularly student work samples, to help you do the following:

Assess students’ mathematical thinking and solution strategies (including any misconceptions that are revealed).
Determine how well students distinguish between the concepts of area and perimeter and how the visual representations helped to support student understanding.
Evaluate students’ use of the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
Determine appropriate next steps in instruction.
Submit a written summary that includes explanations of the following:

How you solved the Track and FieldProblem. Include your mathematical thinking and reasoning, the drawing you created to support your explanation, and how you incorporated one or more Standards for Mathematical Practice during the problem-solving process.
How well students were able to distinguish between the concepts of area and perimeter as they engaged in the learning activity you created. Include an explanation of how students may have used visual representations to support their understanding.
How students demonstrated one or more of the Standards for Mathematical Practice during their problem-solving process as they engaged in the learning activity you created.
The insights you gained by analyzing student data.
How you might use these insights to address student misconceptions about area and perimeter and to inform your next steps in instruction. Make direct reference to student work samples in your explanation. As an appendix to your analysis, include the student work samples you reference. Be sure that you do not include any names on student work.
Make sure to reference the Learning Resources and format your paper in the APA style that meets the criteria of the Walden MSED Application and Reflection rubric.

Analyze Case #2, “Where’s the Beef? McDonald’s Sells Hamburgers in a Hindu Country,” (pp. 5-7) in Cases and Exercises in International Business by Rarick (2003). Given the obvious cultural barrier to success in India – selling hamburgers in a country whose primary religion prohibits the eating of meat – why do you think McDonald’s thought it was worthwhile to try to establish a market there? What are two (2) strategies that McDonald’s could develop to overcome the barriers listed by Rarick?

Discuss five (5) advantages companies experience by producing goods in foreign countries. (A 1-page response is required.)

On pages 53-55, the text lists the following advantages and reasons for foreign production: Cheaper Foreign Production, Transportation Costs, Lack of domestic capacity, Need to alter Products and services, Trade restrictions, and Country-of-origin effects.

You should use the information from the text that I uploaded. Here is the information for citing it. Daniels, J. D., Radebaugh, L. H., & Sullivan, D. P. (2002). Globalization and business. Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Prentice Hall.

You should also research and use additional materials and cite those as well in the paper for outside support in addition to the text I uploaded.

Are you able to get a copy of the text so that I don’t have to scan the information and upload it to you? I have many other papers that will be based on the information from this textbook.

Essay Question

“When the only tool you have is a hammer, all problems begin to resemble nails” (Abraham Maslow). How might this apply to ways of knowing, as tools, in the pursuit of knowledge?

 

Personal Understanding of the Question

 

If  a person has a certain ability, this person will try to use or apply it for every situation or solution because he doesn’t know any other ways and he doesn’t see any other ways.

 

 

Overall summary of answer

The humanity is developed enough for now to understand that we can’t adress to different situations in the same way, that’s why there are exist a huge diversity of science, art and humanitiy areas. Because in all these areas our brain has to fuction differently. But it’s broadly speaking. To narrow it down a bit I would like to discuss that treating situations in one way it’s not always a bad thing, yes unfortunatly we can’t apply it to everything that we are facing. At the moment both ways of accepting situations have their own pros and cons. We can apply to it to WOK and AOK, but  probably everywhere we will have different answers.

 

All people are tend to figure out others. They all use their own way to do it, by using what they’ve learnt through years.

 

Emotion

argument:

Emotions may mislead us from objective judgement.

 

Countretargument:

Through emotions we learn a lot, for example how to contact with people in different situations.

 

Reason

argument:

Reason is not really working out well by itself,  due to the process of reasoning starts with the observation of other ways of knowing.

 

Counterarguement:

Reason helps to find out the truth.

 

Language

arguement:

In non-native languages people can’t express everything what they want to say. All languages carry the culture and traditions of the country that makes it more difficult for some expressions to be interpritated in another language.

 

Counterarguement:

Language  is the most popular way of communication and by learning new languages we are developing like humans and mind becomes more open.

 

 

Perception

argument:

What we see, what we hear might be nit certain. At this point we can’t  rely on perceprion for 100%.

 

Counterarguement:

We learn a lot through perception. We learn the environment and world.

 

Conclusion

 

Why is it important that we know about this?
What are the implications of this finding?
What is a different view on the subject?

I recently completed a law enforcement mission in Lagos Nigeria. What I observed in the community was a large division between the rich and poor. There seemingly was no middle class as we would define middle class. Crime among the poor was very high as far a street crime and delinquency. Looking at our country do you think that poverty causes delinquency and it seems that the middle class is eroding, if so do you believe that an increase of delinquency is inevitable in this country?
