Mathematics is defined as the science which deals with logic of shape‚ quantity and arrangement. During ancient times in Egypt‚ the Egyptians used maths and complex mathematic equations like geometry and algebra. That is how they managed to build the pyramids. Our day today life would be quite strenuous without maths knowledge. There are many ways in which people use maths during the day today living. Below are some ways in which people use maths in daily lives. * Daily life would be very difficult

Mathematics is a subject that I have thoroughly enjoyed throughout my school years. The challenge of thinking and the process of logic always attract me to Mathematical problems‚ however difficult and regardless of the form in which they come. My aptitude towards mathematics aroused because of its simplicity‚ that as long as you follow the right steps in a systematic order‚ you will reach the correct answer. At the same time‚ the challenge which it provides‚ with its complex yet logical questions

explain human behaviour by understanding our thought process. Our information process is compared to that of a computer: Inputting‚ storing and receiving data. One of the most famous cognitive psychologists was a scientist called Jean Piaget (1896-1980). According to Piaget‚ understanding comes in the form of ‘schemas’ (Fritscher‚ 2011). Schemas are cognitive structures that represent certain aspects of the world (pre-conceived ideas for things). Schemas develop through at least two processes: assimilation

and Jean Piaget are two educational philosophers whose theories are still being used and influence today’s educational system. Their theories and methods were revolutionary for their times‚ but they came to be greatly respected. Both of these theorist developed their own stages of child development and were able to base education on these stages. Although in many ways Piaget and Montessori were very similar in their thinking they were also very different in their teaching approaches. Piaget and Montessori

In Piaget’s per-operational stage toddlers and young children are demonstrating use of language through symbols plus memory and imagination development. Children primarily think egocentrically‚ which is demonstrated in my experiment. For this Piaget Psych experiment‚ I used my niece; Noelle Ray Negrete. She is a three year old little girl who has grown up living at the beach‚ with both her mom and dad‚ and her sister Nora. Noelle’s mother works at home‚ raising her two beautiful daughters while

The principles‚ applications and communication of teaching and learning theories In teaching cycle there are many different factors contribute to the final outcome‚ one of the factor is student learning which contributes the most to our teaching strategies. To get the best outcome‚ we have to apply the teaching strategies that suits our group profile the best‚ and in order to do that we need to know how student learn. Educational psychology is one of the principle foundations for our preparation

Piaget vs. Vygotsky Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget were two theorists who studied and analyzed human development. Although their theories were different‚ each man had an idea of how the child develops and different cognitive and social processes that allow this to happen. Through thorough observation‚ the theorists were able to use studies as well as knowledge to come up with their own interpretations of child development that have both been used widely throughout the world. While Vygotsky took

Using mathematics in psychology is still new and not used often so when a new mathematical theory surfaces they take great interest in it. Mathematical theories also give you data you can use that is precise and can help with experiments and reviewing their results. Mathematical testing is still fairly new which is why it is still criticised. William Estes mathematical learning theories did help bring in a lot of new information theorists did not know before. Unlike William Estes‚ Jean Piaget did
