About me

Hi, all!

My name is Danielle. I am a senior at UNCW studying Elementary Education. Even though I am a senior I still have 3 semester left until graduation. This is my 3rd year at UNCW, as I first went to a community college in Kirkland, Ohio before moving to North Carolina and transferring to UNCW. 

I live in Sneads Ferry and  have for a little over 2 years now. I moved here to be closer to my sister and at the time just nephews and to help her out since her husband is in the marines and always gone. I am orginally from a VERY small town about an hour east of Cleveland. I spent alot of time in Downtown cleveland going to Indians and Cavs games, and miss being able to go whenever I wanted to!

Aside from being a full time student I work full time also. I work part time as a nanny to two of the sweetest kids, Olivia (5) and Max (1), the other half of the time I work as an office manager for their parents Masonry company and I LOVE both of my jobs. When not working I spend time with my boyfriend, and family. I love spending time with my 2 nephews and niece. They are just the sweetest. I also sell Scentsy so that takes up a good part of my time. I also enjoy working out and laying by the pool reading at my apartment complex. haha

I think that pretty much says everything about me that I can think of. I'll add some pictures of my cute niece and nephews because they are just too cute not to share :)

I hope everyone has a great semester! I look forward to "meeting" all of you! Best of luck!

Module Three

Textbook Reading: Explain the three measures of central tendency, and how teachers can help children t better understand each of these measures. 1. Mode: The mode of data is basically whatever answer has the most answers. Ways to teachers to help children better understand this is I always remember that mode was like word most like "most" so if you tell students in order to find the mode you look at what answer comes up the most. It also makes it easy to figure out when you take your data and put it into a frequency chart to see how many times each answer was given.  2. Median: The median is the number in the middle when the numbers are put in order from least to most or most to least. I remember my teachers always telling me to find the median we first have to put the data in order from least to greatest, writing all numbers (even if they showed up more then once). After doing that you would cross out the number farther to the left, then the right, and keep doing it t...

Module Thirteen

Measurement Misconceptions Why do you think the students are having difficultly? I think the students are having difficulty because measurement with rulers might be something they have never done before. When we do something new for the first time without any instruction we most of the time do it wrong.  What misunderstanding are they demonstrating? The misunderstanding they are demonstrating is how to correctly use a ruler. Some students don't know how to use a ruler and don't know you have to start at the 0 mark. Some don't understand what the marks on a ruler mean. And some students just want to guess. Have you witnessed any students experiencing some of these same difficulties? I haven't had the change of working with students on measurement in my field experience so no I have not witnessed this. What types of activities could you implement that would help these children?  I would try to find online resources like videos or games that would help the student...

Module Five

Generating Meaning This article addresses how students need to understand the real meaning of range, mean, median, and mode before they are really able to understand how to find the average. It talks about how students need to understand the concept of how to find the average and not just know the procedure. The article then goes on to explain how they need to look, determine, develop, recognize, and understand  to fully get how to understand the average. The article then goes to talk about different activities to do with the students to get them to be able to really understand the concept. I really don't remember that much about my elementary school math but I do remember that when my teacher would talk about mean she would just talk about how it was the average amount of a data set. I remember the teacher asking us questions like "how many siblings do you have?" or "how many pets do you have?" and then using that data we needed to calculate what the mean or...
