The Impact Food Insecurity Has on Children in Elementary School
No full textFood insecurity is an issue that impacts many people, and these impacts present themselves in many different ways when it comes to elementary school students. This synthesis was conducted by coming up with specific search criteria in order to find out what was being presented in the current research. As a result of this search and analysis, it was found that elementary school students who experienced food insecurity during childhood were negatively impacted in the areas of academic performance, physical health, behavioral health, mental health, and emotional health. Something else that was found was that these children who experienced food insecurity may have been at a higher risk for food insecurity during young adulthood as a result of these experiences. Although there were many negative impacts identified as a result of food insecurity, there was also research found that stated food assistance programs can be utilized in a way that helps children and families deal with this issue. Going forward, it is suggested that food assistance programs be updated and supported by those in positions of power in order to help families and decrease some of the negative impacts seen among children in elementary school. In the end, the purpose of this synthesis project was to review the literature on the impact food insecurity has on children in elementary school
Student-Centered Statistics for Algebra II
No full textStatistics is offered as a full course in some high schools while other schools focus on statistical topics integrated into courses such as Algebra. In the case of the later, teachers may feel unprepared to teach isolated statistical topics. This curriculum project was developed to provide support for teaching statistics as part of an Algebra II class. The four lessons were designed to provide an understanding of standard deviation, z-scores, and percentiles, which are then to be used in a culminating project based learning assignment. These lessons are aligned to the Common Core Standards for statistical reasoning
A Curriculum Project on Incorporating Proofs in Lessons to Deepen Students’ Understanding of Mathematical Concepts
No full textThis curriculum project provides secondary mathematics teachers with lessons that incorporate proofs to deepen student understanding of mathematical concepts through mathematical reasoning and discourse. The use of proofs in secondary math is essential to prepare students for college mathematics expectations. Mathematical proofs are difficult for students because it is not something that they often see throughout their secondary education. The Constructivist Learning Theory states that students learn by building on prior knowledge to create new understanding, thus each lesson in this curriculum project begins with a review section to connect prior learning to new concepts. Likewise, the use of the Growth Mindset and grit, also used in the curriculum, can encourage students to believe in their mathematical abilities. Encouraging students to attempt questions or proofs without providing immediate support can send a message that they are capable of meeting high expectations. Within the curriculum project there are four lessons: Introduction to Proofs; Quadratic Formula; Properties of Paralellograms; and Remainder Theorem. The last three lessons align with the curriculum for Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 respectively. The first lesson was designed to introduce proofs before they are applied in any of these courses
