The construction of a fundamental understanding of numeration and place value concepts forms the foundation for all additional branches of mathematics (Booker‚ et al.‚ 2010). Computational processes and patterns of thinking require a clear understanding of these concepts‚ as they underpin the learning and use of mathematics (Booker et al.‚ 2010). Developing mathematical thinking from an early age is extremely important in establishing students understanding of number concepts. Clements (2001‚ p271)

Case Report-2: TruEarth Healthy Foods 1) Using the forecast model for pasta shown in Exhibit 5‚ what is your forecast of the demand for pizza? In Annex I‚ we see that the forecasted demand for pizza is 1.6MM‚ which is represented by the Trial Households. We calculated this by using the calculation in pasta that BASES used for pasta case. We found that the trial rate for “actual definitely would buy” for pizza will be 80% of the definitely would buy rate of the BASEL research. The actual probably

Investigation: Intersecting Chords of a Circle On completion of the investigation I had learned many new important qualities associated with the intersecting chords within a circle theorems. The three theorems studied in this investigation include: Two chords intersecting externally‚ two chords intersecting internally and the intersection of a chord and tangent. Each theorem can be used to determine different things (e.g. the tangent-chord theorem can be used to determine the approximate distance
