I believe that the course EDCP 342A played a significant role in my learning process. As it encouraged me as a learner in many ways, it has also provided me a variety of opportunities to go through, which were absolutely new to me. I still remember, when Susan assigned us the first project which was about mathematical art and we chose Spiro laterals. It was the first time, when I could realize that how math is near to the art. The patterns of Spiro laterals were so creative, these took me in some other realm. In the same way, when Susan talked about the concept of flow, it was also amazing. Everyone felt that he/ she had gone through this type of flow in his/her life. I also felt when I compose any poem I also remain in that state of mind. Even though all assignments are helpful in encouraging my learning, David Stoker’s article Math that Matters gave me a lot of inspiration. It shakes you whether you are in right direction or not. He explained that teaching of math can not be con...

Paramvir Singh LESSON PLAN 3 Mathematics EDCP 342A Date : December 14, 2017     Room       1213 Topic/learning objectives: After completing this lesson students will explore their deep understanding of the topics of the arithmetic and geometric sequences. The respondents will include more information and feelings. Open ended questions will allow the students to get extra information such as demographic information. Many solutions and many ways of solving the questions would be found.

Paramvir Singh LESSON PLAN 1 Mathematics EDCP 342A Date : December 14, 2017     Room       1213 Topic/learning objectives:  After completing this lesson students will be able to know about the history of arithmetic and geometric sequences and their inventors. They will also know about the origin of the formulas which we often use in sequences and series. Resources: Textbook Pre -Calculus 11, and internet HOOK Could you find the sum of first 10 natural numbers, without using calculator? How about 20? Lesson content/activities:  An arithmetic progression is simply a sequence of numbers that are separated by the same amount. Even though we are not sure about the specific history of arithmetic sequences, it was developed by Egyptian mathematicians. The formula of sum of arithmetic sequences is given by Carl ...

EDCP 342A Unit planning: Rationale and overview for planning a 3 to 4-week unit of work in secondary school mathematics Your name:  Paramvir Singh School, grade & course: Fraser Heights Secondary School Surrey Topic of Unit: Sequence and Series (Pre-Calculus 11) Preplanning questions: (1) Why do we teach this unit to secondary school students? Research and talk about the following: Why is this topic included in the curriculum? Why is it important that students learn it? What learning do you hope they will take with them from this? What is intrinsically interesting, useful, beautiful about this topic? (150 words) The main objective of this topic to make students familiar with different patterns and sequences so that they would be able in recognizing these different patterns in nature and human body. The pattern of the logistic spiral is found in the chambered nautilus. Patterns of seed growth, petals on flowers and rabbit reprod...
