Using Parametric Representations to Make Connections
I introduce parametric equations in the first unit taught in our Pre-Calculus curriculum, immediately after teaching the definition of a function. The use of parametric equations greatly enhances the understanding of domain and range. I start with the students doing explorations on domain and range, using prescribed values for the parameter t. I use this activity not only to re-enforce the conc...
متن کاملUsing Technology to Make Connections in the Core Curriculum
According to Carnegie Foundation reports (Boyer, 1987, 1990), students routinely fail to make connections between their core curriculum courses and their major courses. They do not apply the knowledge they gain in academic subjects to the challenges they face in their communities, homes, and workplaces. Complex problems often require solutions that cross academic boundaries; thus, the failure t...
متن کاملImproving Perception to Make Distant Connections Closer
One of the challenges for perceptually grounded accounts of high-level cognition is to explain how people make connections and draw inferences between situations that superficially have little in common. Evidence suggests that people draw these connections even without having explicit, verbalizable knowledge of their bases. Instead, the connections are based on sub-symbolic representations that...
متن کاملHelping Intelligence Analysts Make Connections
Discovering latent connections between seemingly unconnected documents and constructing “stories” from scattered pieces of evidence are staple tasks in intelligence analysis. We have worked with government intelligence analysts to understand the strategies they use to make connections. Beyond techniques like clustering that aim to provide an initial broad summary of large document collections, ...
متن کاملFive Theories of Reasoning: Inter-connections and Applications to Mathematics
The last century has seen many disciplines place a greater priority on understanding how people reason in a particular domain, and several illuminating theories of informal logic and argumentation have been developed. Perhaps owing to their diverse backgrounds, there are several connections and overlapping ideas between the theories, which appear to have been overlooked. We focus on Peirce’s de...
