Description:

Everything you need to know about Concept-Based Mathematics

This book contains secondary math examples. Early years and primary math examples will be provided during the course.

Traditional curriculum focuses on rules and procedures with little attention paid to the conceptual relationships of mathematics—and mathematics is a language of conceptual relationships. Traditional curriculum often assumes the deep understanding of concepts, and fails to teach for transferability, or to consider context.

With the exponential growth of information and knowledge students need to move to a higher level of abstraction. We need to develop students’ ability to critically think and reason, in order to solve complex problems and create new ideas.

This four week online course will cover the concept-based curriculum design model specifically for mathematics. All content will be based on Jennifer Wathall’s book “Concept Based Mathematics; Teaching for Deep Understanding in Secondary Schools”. This online course can be viewed on any mobile device connected to the internet.

This online course will address the following questions:

• Why is it important for students to learn conceptually?
• What are the facts, processes and concepts in mathematics?
• How do I craft generalizations in mathematics?
• How do I craft quality guiding questions?
• How do I plan units of work for concept-based mathematics curriculum?
• How do I captivate and engage students? Practical strategies for creating rich learning experiences in the classroom

After this course you will be able to:

• Write quality generalizations and guiding questions
• Use a unit web to plan a concept based mathematics unit
• Design engaging, rich and inquiry-based learning experiences for your students
• Use formative assessment strategies to inform teaching and learning
• Embed the use of technology effectively to enhance conceptual understanding

Business online course

Information about business:

Business is the activity of making one’s living or making money by producing or buying and selling products (such as goods and services).
[need quotation to verify] Simply put, it is “any activity or enterprise entered into for profit.
It does not mean it is a company, a corporation, partnership, or have any such formal organization, but it can range from a street peddler to General Motors.”

Having a business name does not separate the business entity from the owner, which means that the owner of the business is responsible and liable for debts incurred by the business.
If the business acquires debts, the creditors can go after the owner’s personal possessions.
A business structure does not allow for corporate tax rates. The proprietor is personally taxed on all income from the business.
