initial views of edse603 my first impression of this course was overwhelming but i felt that everybody was on the same page we have the course description and outline of what is expected out of us once we looked at sample web pages and the list of what we need to have on our page i began to feel relieved and found myself thinking of my students and how creating this page will serve as an educational tool for my students and their families i feel that once i set time aside to play around with the website and work with other touro college students i will receive and provide feedback to make my website as resourceful as it can be i enjoyed viewing the exciting websites that can help with engagement for my diverse learners nycdoe iaup e privacy violations i users should not repost a message that was sent to them privately without permission of the person who sent them the message i believe this is an important violation to take notice to at times people may take for granted that a message was sent to them privately and without permission of the person who sent the message in relation to education a colleague may send a message regarding an incident and the person who received the message may fail to recognize the importance of privacy and to discuss the topic the person may post the message to get feedback and this can be a serious violation to confidentiality g student web pages i subject to district-wide policies and procedures students may create a web site as part of a class activity material presented on a student class activity web site must meet the educational objectives of the class activity i believe it is important for administrators staff and the public to know the learning objectives and how they relate to the curriculum when creating a web site as part of a class activity many people are skeptical when it comes to younger students creating websites for many reasons by providing the objectives the public will be able to see the goals of the site and how the students are meeting the goals d inappropriate language my final project page 2

scientific method the scientific method has five steps 1 question make observations and develop your question the question should be about what you are interested in learning or what you want to know 2 hypothesis state your hypothesis your hypothesis is your educated guess about what you think will happen 3 method the method is the process or steps of your experiment this should be very detailed and include materials needed 4 results the results are the facts or data that you collect from your experiment 5 conclusion in the conclusion you explain why you think the experiment happened the way it did include whether the results supported your hypothesis or not by using a picture i was able to describe what the scientific method is using a video to record only my voice this would encourage students to focus on the picture only and come up with their own observations about the scientific method back to table of contents my final project page 8

times tables anything times zero will always be zero here is why multiplication is repeated addition knowing this o 0 x 9 0 0 0 +0+0+0+0+0+0=0 o 0x7=0+0+0+0+0+0+0=0 the commutative property of multiplication o 0x8=8x0=0 o 0x2=2x0=0 anything times one will always be the number that one is being multiplied to multiplication is repeated addition knowing this o 1 x 5 1 1 1 1+1 5 o 1 x 3 1 1 +1 3 o 1x5=1+1+1+1+1=5 o 7x1=7 o 9x1=9 o the commutative property of multiplication 1x6=6x1=6 1x8=8x1=8 any number times one is always itself multiplying by two make it a double multiplication is repeated addition so o 2 x 4 4 4 8 or 2 fours o 2 x 3 3 3 6 or 2 threes o 2 x 5 5 5 10 or 2 fives the commutative property of multiplication o 4 x 3 3x 4 12 o 8 x 2 2 x 8 16 o 2 x 6 would be 6 6 or 12 o 9 x 2 would be 9 9 or 18 any number times two is the number doubled back to table of contents my final project page 10

multiplying by three make it a triple multiplication is repeated addition so o 3 x 4 4 4 4 12 o 3x3=3+3+3=9 o 3 x 5 5 5 5 15 because of the commutative property of multiplication o 3 x 5 5 x 3 15 o 3 x 7 7 x 3 21 multiplying by four double-double double-double the number you are multiplying four by double it twice o 4 x 3 double 3 twice 3 doubled is 6 6 doubled is 12 o 4 x 6 double 6 twice 6 doubled is 12 12 doubled is 24 another way to figure the answer is double the answer you would get if you multiplied the number by 2 o 4 x 3 double the 2 x 3 answer the answer to 3 x 2 6 double the 6 to get 12 o 4 x 6 double the 2 x 6 answer the answer to 2 x 6 12 double the 12 to get 24 any number times four is the number doubled doubled multiplying by fives method 1 if you can count by fives method 1 makes the fives simple 3 x 5 would be 3 fives count by five to the third number 5 10 15 the answer is 15 because the third number when you count by fives is 15 6 x 5 would be 6 fives count by fives to the sixth number 5 10 15 20 25 30 the answer is 30 because of the commutative property of multiplication o 5 x 3 3 x 5 15 o 5 x 6 6 x 5 30 back to table of contents my final project page 11

the five multiplication facts method 2 if you are multiplying five times and even number take half of the number and put a zero after it the fives are half way through the 0 9 multiplication facts this helps you remember to take half of each number o for example 5 x 6 6 is even take half of 6 3 add a zero 30 o another example 5 x 8 take half of 8 4 add a zero 40 if you are multiplying 5 times an odd number subtract 1 from the number and halve the number then put a 5 after it o for example 5 x 7 7 is odd subtract one from 7 6 take half of 6 3 add a five 35 o another example 5 x 9 subtract one from 9 8 take half of 8 4 add a five 45 multiplying by 6 make it a triple-double triple-double the number you are multiplying six by follow the triple fact then the double fact or vice-versa o 6 x 3 triple 3 then double its answer o 3 tripled is 9 9 doubled is 18 o 6 x 6 triple 6 then double its answer o 6 tripled is 18 18 doubled is 36 any number times six is the number triple-doubled/double-tripled multiplying by 7 ihmmmm trying to figure that one out multiplying by 8 double-double-double back to table of contents my final project page 12

double-double-double the number you are multiplying eight by o 8 x 3 double 3 makes it 6 then double 6 makes it 12 then double 12 makes it 24 o 8 x 3 =24 o 8 x 7 double 7 makes it 14 then double 14 makes it 28 then double 28 makes it 56 o 8 x 7 56 any number times eight is the number double-double-doubled multiplying by 9 one less that adds up to nine subtract one from the number you are multiplying by 9 x 5 one less than 5 is 4 the first number in the answer is 4 the two numbers that make up the answer will equal 9 so 4 9 5 the last number in the answer is 5 9 x 5 45 o one less than 5 is 4 45 o the answer adds up to nine 4 5 9 here is another example 9x8 one less than 8 is 7 so the first number in the answer is 7 7 2 equals 9 so the second number in the answer is 2 the nine multiplication facts using your fingers the nine multiplication facts using your fingers back to table of contents my final project page 13
