PLEASE READ ASSIGNMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY . USE GEORGIA MATH STANDARDS.

ASSIGNMENT IS DUE 24 HOURS AFTER BID IS ACCEPTED

RUBRIC IS ATTACHED PLEASE READ 

Successful teachers recognize the connections between conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and real-world application when teaching children to make sense of numbers. They embed opportunities for children to concurrently develop numeracy skills in all math areas, including the contexts of counting, cardinality, and base ten concepts.

For this assignment, select three state math standards for kindergarten related to number sense (counting and cardinality) for the selected grade level. USE GEORGIA MATH STANDARDS

Using the “Number Sense Standards Table,” create one math activity for each standard that is developmentally appropriate for the selected grade level and that uses manipulatives.

Each activity should provide:

• Real-world application for the math skill taught
• Manipulatives and other resources 
• Differentiation  strategies to meet the individual needs of all students
• Formal and informal assessment  strategies to ensure mastery of the standards

Write a 250-500 word rationale for the hands-on learning activities you created and how each supports learning of the selected standards. Discuss how each activity, manipulative, and assessment is developmentally appropriate for the selected grade level.

Support your matrix and rationale with 2-3 resources.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Part 1

Why do we make mistakes?   The old adage that “nobody is perfect” is certainly true but we can LEARN from our mistakes.   Start to analyze your mistakes. By increasing your awareness of the type of mistakes that you make the most often, you will begin to make them less often.

Conceptual Error:  The error is due to a misunderstanding of a concept.  Name the concept, at least to yourself.  For example, the concept might be finding the absolute value of a number.  The process of naming the concept will help you to find additional information about that concept and strengthen your understanding.

Calculation Error:  In your judgment, you understood the concept or concepts involved but you made a miscalculation.  Name the type of calculation error.  For example, a type of calculation error might be that you applied the wrong rule for adding signed numbers or that you rounded the number incorrectly.

Transcription Error:  The error resulted from miscopying of the problem or miscopying a portion of the problem from one step to another. Identify the transcription error. For example, you may have copied the wrong problem or copied part of one problem and part of another.  Another common transcription error is to leave out a number or sign as you copy from one line to the next.  

Interpretation Error. We answer the wrong question or do not answer all the questions.We often find ourselves anticipating what a problem is asking us to do without carefully reading the instructions.  For example, you might be asked to give the new amount in a percent increase problem instead of just the amount of increase.  

TASKS

1.    Identify the types of errors listed above that you make most often and what strategy you will use to minimize making this type of error in the future. 

2.  What you have learned by analyzing your mistakes?

Part 2

Is your confidence level at being able to do math rising from when you signed up for the course?  

• If so – what is contributing to that rise?  
• If not – what additional support do you need?

 Assume a role of an e-commerce consultant. Your client is a local pet store. The mission of the business is to “enrich the lives of pets and their families”. The store is planning to start selling its beds for pets through its website and social media marketing. They are targeting mostly female customers in the US, 45  – 60 years old, who have an interest in pets. 

QUESTION 1 (up to 400 words): Which two social media platforms (channels) would you recommend to your client? Why? Support your recommendations with research.

QUESTION 2 (up to 400 words): Keeping in mind your answer to the previous question, provide recommendations for your client’s social media content strategy 

 QUESTION 3 (up to 400 words): Assume that your client has advertised their products through Google Ads during the last thirty days.  You now want to gain more insights into the client’s campaign.

a)   What are the most important metrics that are normally used to assess the historical effectiveness of various ads and keywords used in advertising campaigns?  Which three of these metrics would you recommend to your client?

b)   How would you choose the best landing pages that have been used in your client’s campaign? What metrics/tools would you use to choose the best landing page?

Note: please make sure not to go over the above specified maximum word count. 

Before answering any question, make sure to conduct online research to better understand the best practices, trends and/or important stats as it relates to the question.
 

It is advisable to provide several images in the body of the text (in Word file). 

You may also want to provide an Appendix with max 3 additional pages (only charts, tables, images).

For the final component of the course project, you will imagine that you have successfully implemented the program evaluation you designed. Create a PowerPoint presentation to communicate the results of your evaluation to stakeholders.

Since you have not actually implemented your program evaluation design, you will need to simulate results that are fictional, but they must be plausible.

Note: It must be understood that in an actual program evaluation it would be highly unethical to represent “made up” results as actual data. However, it is ethical to simulate results in this way for this learning exercise.

Assignment Instructions

Refer to the two sample PowerPoint presentations linked in Resources for guidance as you create a PowerPoint deck for this assignment. Do not submit a paper for this assignment. Papers will not be graded.

• The number of words on each slide should be cut to the bare minimum without losing the meaning. It would be ideal to have no more than six bullet points on a slide and no more than six words per bullet. You can always add more slides to cover any given topic. Note: do not use complete sentences.
• Place supporting details and references to evidence that you will use when making your presentation in the Notes section below the slide. Provide enough detail so that a colleague could make the presentation in your absence.
• Include copyright-free graphics or your own images to accompany text where appropriate. For instance, search Google Images (linked in Resources) for royalty-free stock photos and other graphics; be sure to attribute image sources as you would cite any other source and comply with any terms of use.
• In-text citations in current APA format must be included and references listed at the end of the presentation. Refer to the APA links in Resources as needed.

For guidance in the basics of using PowerPoint and effective PowerPoint design, refer to the helpful links in Resources. If, after reviewing this material, you need more help using PowerPoint, contact your instructor—seek help early!
