Thomas Smith letter to Thomas Rotch, Little Bever mo 1811
No full textThomas Smith at Little Bever, in Eastern Ohio describes property near Canton which Thomas Rotch may wish to investigate. The exact date of this letter is unclear, sometime in 1811, posted to Rotch near Wheeling or in the Short Creek area where he and Charity arrived in the Spring of 1811. B-181-2 was posted in December, 1811 while Rotch was supposedly at Kendal with Charity staying behind with Friends in Wheeling. 7.6" x 9.5" (19.3 by 23.2 cm

The use of real-world contextual framing in UK university entrance level mathematics examinations
No full textAlthough there has been considerable research into real-world contexts in elementary mathematics, little work has been done at a more advanced, post-16 level. This thesis explores the origin, function and effect of real-world contextual framing (RWCF)in GCEA/AS mathematics examinations. The study develops an evaluation framework (ARTA)based on the notions of accessibility, realism and task authenticity, derived from assessment theory, and considers ‘context’ in relation to theoretical ideas such as Realistic Mathematics Education, construct validity and construct-irrelevant variance.The function and effect of RWCF are investigated using the ARTA framework on samples of A/AS questions. Its effect is explored using sequence questions with the same solutions with and without real-world context, set to a sample of nearly 600 students, together with a questionnaire that surveys students’ attitudes to RWCF. Quantitative differences in the use of RWCF are established and traced to early project syllabuses such as SMP and MEI. The study finds that RWCF in general adds to the difficulty of questions, unless they can be solved by ‘thinking within the context’. The accessibility of questions with RWCF is a function of comprehensibility of language, and the explicitness of the match between context and mathematical model. The study distinguishes between natural and synthetic contexts, according to the extent to which the context matches reality, or reality is configured to match the mathematics. Natural contexts are more realistic; but synthetic contexts can serve the purpose of reifying abstract mathematical ideas. At best, RWCF in examination questions require solvers to engage in pseudo-modelling: they cannot test aspects of the modelling cycle such as discussing assumptions, refining, and critical reading of longer arguments. There is, moreover, a gender difference in students’ attitudes to RWCF, with boys in general expressing more favourable views about its use in pure mathematics questions.These findings have the following implications for A/AS assessment. Current examination questions are not able to satisfy current QCDA (Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, 2002) assessment objectives on mathematical modelling. Questions with RWCF need to be authentic, and require careful construction to ensure that language is precise and unambiguous. Longer questions, which present and invite comparison of more than one model, are desirable, in order that students appreciate the relationship between reality and mathematical models

Reel 413, Item 2 Little Loud Thomas and Little Mary Granilee
Once there was a old Devil. Aw, an', ow naw . . .

And he run up on the old Devil out there. And the old Devil
said, "What that you got, little boy?"
"A little horn."
"let's hear you blow it."
"Toot toot toot toot."
And the old Devil told him., said, "You come on and go home with me.."
And he carried him on home with him. And he put Little loud Thomas in the hog pen out there.
He went on to the house and told his daughter, Little Mary
Grannilee, say, "Mary Grannilee, I got a pig out there in the pen.
Tek him some slop."
And she went running out there. And she got there and she said, "Papa say you was a pig! What your name?"
"I name Little loud Thomas. What your name?"
"Little Mary Grannilee."
And she went on back to the house, and carried him on back to the house with her.
"Papa, a little boy!"
Old Devil got mad. "Gee him a little bite and throw him in the bed."
And so he slept in one bed and she slept in the other.
And while they was laying in the room there, she was talking to him, laughing. So she said to him, "Little loud Thomas, you know what Papa gon' have you doing in the morning/"little Loud Thomas

"Naw!"
"He gonna have you cleaning out a old stable that ain't been clean out in a hundred years. And fast as you throw out one shovel of manure, another shovel will fall in."
And so next morning the old Devil called him, "Little Loud Thomas, I want you to go down there and clean out that stable."
"Yessuh!"
He went on down there. And just soon as he shovel out one shovel, 'nother shovel fall back in there.
And Little Mary Grannilee she went on down there. She said,
"Little Loud Thomas, ain't you tired?" And she carried his breakfast
to him too.
And so she said, "Now, Shovel, shovel out all of this manure,
and lay that shovel down at Little Loud Thomas' feet."
And the shovel got busy. It shoveled all of it out.
And she come on to the house.
And so that night little Loud Thomas come in. Old Devils said, "How did you get along, Little Loud Thomas?"
"I got Through!"
"You got through?!"
"Yessuh."
That made him mad. He told her to throw him in the bed.
And while they was laying there that night, Little Mary Grannilee say, "You know what Daddy gon' have you doing in the morning?
"Naw."
"He gon' have you have you cleaning out a old well. And fast as you draw up one bucket of water, another bucketful will fall back down in there."
"That'll be all right.
And so the old Devil told him the next morning. And so he went on down there3
Little Loud Thomas Reel 413, Item 2 Continued
Naw — uh— and she says, — uh — , "Grandmaw lost a ring
in there, was a hundred years ago. And he want you to bring that
ring to him."
And so he told him to go and clean out the old well.
And so he went on down there. And fast as he'd dip out one
bucket of water another bucketful would fall in there.
And she went on down there. And so she told the bucket, said, "Bucket, Rope, draw out all this water, and catch up that ring, and put it down at my feet."
That bucket got busy, and drawed all that water out of there and put that ring down at her feet, and she picked it and and hand it to Little Loud Thomas, and told him, say, "When you come home, you give that ring to Papa."
And so, that night when he come in, "Here the ring!"
Hade him so mad, he like to snatch his fingers off. He snatched it out his hand.
And so they was laying there that night. And so she said, "You know what Papa gon' have you doing in the morning? Gon' have you to take that ring to Grand ma. And it's a long ways. And the first gate you get to, that gate gon' draw back to knock you down.
And so you say, 'Oh, pretty little gate, please don't knock me down." And that gate'll get back and let you on in.
"When you get to the next gate, some great big old cows will come running to you to hook you. And you say, ' Oh, pretty cows, please don't hook me.' And that gate you can get on through.
And when you get to Grandma's house, the gonna put a big dog on you. And you call him 'Pretty big dog,' and he won't bite you."
And so he got there at the gate, old grandma, she say,
"Take him, take him, Big Dog!"
And the dog say, "Naw! He call me 'Pretty Big Dog'! I ain't gon' bite him!"
And then Little loud Thomas come on back home then.
And they were laying down there that night. And she say, "You know what. Papa gonna kill you tonight. But you go down to4.

the barn, and take this egg, and put it behind old Lightning' right ear. And ride him up — Aw — And I'm gonna ride him — ride him up to the window. And you get behind me."
And so she rode old Lightning on up beside of the window and he clamb out of the bed, and got behind her. And away they wemt!
And the old Devil he went in there, and he was gome and Little Mary Grannilee was gone. And so the old Devil he commenced to callung: "Oh! Little Mary Grannilee!"
"Sir, Daddy?!"
"Where you at?!"
"I'm down here greasing old Lightning!"
And he went on down there, and she wasn't down there. He come back. He call her again: "0h1 Little Mary Grannilee!"
"Sir! Daddy?!"
"Where you at?"
"I'm greasing Lightning!"
And she told Little Loud Thomas, say "You get this egg, and throw it back over your right shoulder." And he throwed it back and it hit on the ground. And the old Devil called again: She say "I'm greasing old Lightning."
And the old Devil was 'bout to catch em. And he got there to where Little Loud Thomas throwed the egg. And it come a great big ROCK MOUNTAIN!
And he call her again: "0h1 Little Mary Grannilee !"
"Sir, Daddy?"
"Where you at?"
"Greasing Lightning."
And he got there to that rock mountain. So he say,"How can I get through this rock mountain?"
"Daddy, you'll have to go back to the house and get a pick, and pick and pick through."5
Little Loud Thomas Reel 413, Item 2 Continued
So, while he was going on back to the house after the pick, she had done carried Little Loud Thomas where she wanted him to be. And put him down. And she come on back. Home. And so when he call
that time: Hey! Daddy, you see me coming on to the house?!"
And it was a long time then until she 'cided that she wanted to go where Little Loud Thomas was. And Little Loud Thomas was
down on the beach where she carried him.
And he had a slingshot and birds was flying, and he was shooting at them with his sling shot.
And Little Mary Grannilee, when she went down there, she went as a bird. And so he was just shooting — he thought he was shooting at a bird, and he was shooting at Little Mary Grannilee/
The little bird was saying, "Peep peep!" but that there was Little Mary Grannilee.
And she jumped down out of the tree and fluttered herself and turned to Little Mary Grannilee.
And then they kissed, and married.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
