She reveals careful thinking and planning that goes into each routine and offers detailed vignettes and dialogues of how they unfold in real classrooms Assessment Strategies:' As students engage in the process each routine becomes an exciting opportunity to gain insight into where they are in their understanding and help students articulate their mathematical thinking Identify Big Ideas: Not only will these math routines help develop students' mathematical understanding as they move towards using standard algorithms but teachers will learn to better recognize the big ideas that emerge in discussions how to encourage important strategies based in number sense and how to facilitate conversations on key mathematical concepts. These routines may appear in other places [but] I have never seen them written in such detail and with so many variations. . Although she makes what she does sound easy we all know that teaching math well is anything but easy. It is challenging and complex. Unpacking what students are saying helping them make connections not only to the math but to each other's ideas while simultaneously recording their ideas using mathematical models visuals or equations is no easy task. Jessica provides wonderful visuals examples of student work and so much more to help educators develop the tools they need to improve their practice and in so doing improve student learning.

Advances in Aviation Psychology Volume 1

Advances in Aviation Psychology Volume 1

Aviation remains one of the most active and challenging domains for human factors and applied psychology. Since 1981 the biennial International Symposium on Aviation Psychology (ISAP) has been convened for the purposes of (a) presenting the latest research on human performance problems and opportunities within aviation systems (b) envisioning design solutions that best utilize human capabilities for creating safe and efficient aviation systems and (c) bringing together scientists research sponsors and operators in an effort to bridge the gap between research and application. Though rooted in the presentations of the 17th ISAP held in 2013 in Dayton Ohio Advances in Aviation Psychology is not simply a collection of selected proceeding papers. Based upon the potential impact on emerging trends current debates or enduring issues present in their work select authors were invited to expand on their work following the benefit of interactions at the symposium. The invited authors include the featured keynote and plenary speakers who are all leading scientists and prominent researchers that were selected to participate at the symposium. These contributions are supplemented by additional contributors whose work best reflects significant developments in aviation psychology. Consequently the volume includes visions for the next generation of air management and air traffic control the integration of unmanned (i. e. remotely piloted vehicles) into operational air spaces and the use of advanced information technologies (e. g. synthetic task environments) for research and training. This book is the first in a series of volumes to be published in conjunction with each subsequent ISAP. The aim of each volume is not only to report the latest findings in aviation psychology but also to suggest new directions for advancing the field. | Advances in Aviation Psychology Volume 1

Optimization in Industry Volume 1 Optimization Techniques

Optimization in Industry Volume 1 Optimization Techniques

As optimization techniques have developed a gap has arisen between the people devising the methods and the people who actually need to use them. Research into methods is necessarily long-term and located usually in academic establishments; whereas the application of an optimization technique normally in an industrial environment has to be justified financially in the short term. The gap is probably inevitable; but there is no need for textbooks to reflect it. Teaching of optimization techniques separately from their connection with applications is pointless. This book gives a detailed exposition of the techniques. In this first volume T. A. J. Nicholson demonstrates the full range of techniques available to the practitioner for the solution of varying problems. For each technique the background reasoning behind its development is explained in simple terms; where helpful it is supported by a geometrical argument; and the iterative algorithm for finding the optimum is defined clearly. These steps enable the reader not only to see plainly what is happening in the method but also to reach a level of understanding necessary to write computer programs for optimization techniques. Problems are tackled in the same way-by searching a feasible region for an optimum. This approach helps the reader to develop the most essential of all skills-selecting appropriate techniques for different circumstances. The numerous worked examples in the text supported by worked solutions and the exercises at the end of the chapters are important aids to learning and to teachers. This book serves as an introduction to optimization techniques for students as well as a reference work for the practitioner in business and industry. | Optimization in Industry Volume 1 Optimization Techniques
