Raising Children Who Can Do Math—and
Like It!
Our latest tips appear in NCTM’s new
publication, Adding Math, Subtracting
Tension: A Guide to Raising Children Who
Can Do Math, Prekindergarten-Grade 2. This
book is written for teachers, parents, and
caregivers of young children and features
activities and videos to help raise children
who can succeed in math. It also addresses
parents’ concerns that they did not do well in
math and illustrates how they can help their children regardless of their own
shortcomings in the subject.
Consider the following tips:
•
Knowing a lot of math is not necessary; you can learn with your child.
•
Listening is more important than explaining what to do.
•
Children are eager for parents’ attention, so give it—with math.

Assessment in Math and Science: What's the
Point? http://www.learner.org/resources/series93.html
Why do we elect to assess students at various points in their
educational journey? Students frequently ask, "Will this be on the test?" and
"Is this going to count?", and they have a right to know. This provocative
and thoughtful series from the Annenberg Media group was designed to help
a range of groups and people learn how "teachers deal with common issues
and discover ways to use assessment to improve teaching and learning."

How it Works
QR codes, or quick response codes, is a type of 2D bar code that may
be decoded using your smartphone with a QR code reader. From being
a tracking mechanism for auto parts, QR codes have proven to be very
useful in marketing and convenience related applications that is more
suitable for smartphone users. In the recent months, we have seen QR
codes show up on marketing materials such as movie posters,
promotional posters for various products, billboards, flyers, among
other things. These have also been seen on newspaper ads, business
cards, artwork, and other everyday things.
There are two main things that you have to have when you deal with
QR codes:
1. A mobile phone with a camera and Internet connectivity
2. A QR code reader
Where do I get a QR code reader?
Most smartphones coming out nowadays have a QR code reader already
installed. For some, you would need to download the reader and install
it yourself.
Note that you would have to check on the compatibility of these readers
with your phones as some readers work only on iPhones or Android
phones. There are readers that work on the Symbian OS found on Nokia
phones and Java found on lower end smart phones.
How do you scan the QR code?
After you have you have your reader installed, fire up the application
and snap a picture of the QR code. Make sure that your hand is steady
and that you are able to include the whole code into the picture. There
will be some instances when the scan would fail, do not worry, just keep
on snapping.

MathWorks 12 preview
Hello Teachers,
For students entering the trades or directly
into the workforce, Workplace and
Apprenticeship Math 12 provides an
excellent grounding in the math skills they
will need after graduation. Teachers who
will be teaching W&A Math 12 now have a
chance to preview a sample chapter from
the MathWorks 12 Student Resource and
Teacher Resource on our website.
Here you'll also find the MathWorks 12
brochure which lists all of the Math 12
resources and the key features of the main
Student Resource.
In January 2012 we will begin mailing out evaluation copies of the MathWorks
12 Student Resource. Email [email protected] to make sure your name is
down for a copy, last year these went fast!
You'll be pleased to know that the MathWorks 12 Workbook and Test Bank will
be available in June 2012, along with all of the other resources. Watch for
sample chapters from these on our website in the spring.
NEW: All MathWorks 10 and 11 resources previewed
And in case you're wondering what the MathWorks 11 Test Bank looks like, or
are trying to decide whether you should purchase a Teacher Resource for
MathWorks 10 or a set of Workbooks for MathWorks 11, we now have sample
chapters of all MathWorks 10 and MathWorks 11 resources on our website.
Here's a tip: many teachers find that combining the discussion opportunities,
projects and hands-on activities in the Student Resource with further questions
from the Workbook and Test Bank leads to student success. (Please note that
these sample chapters replace the MathWorks files that were previously on our
website).

Cecilia started making new
outfits from her sister’s
hand-me-down clothes
when she was six. She still
recycles used clothes in
her designs.
In 2009, she started
selling her designs and
has been in business ever
since. She said she loves
it so much, it doesn’t feel
like work.

Divisibility Tests
Divisibility by 2: A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit is even.
Divisibility by 3: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3. For example, 1295 is not
divisible by 3 since 1 + 2 + 9 + 5 = 17 which is not divisible by 3. However, 1296 is divisible by 3 since
1 + 2 + 9 + 6 = 18 which is divisible by 3.
Divisibility by 4: A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits are divisible by 4. For example, 1295 is not
divisible by 4 since 95 is not divisible by 4. However, 1296 is divisible by 4 since 96 is divisible by 4.
Divisibility by 5: A number is divisible by 5 if the last digit is a 0 or 5.
Divisibility by 6: A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3. The number 395 is not divisible
by 6 since it is not even and hence is not divisible by 2. The number 862 is not divisible by 6 since it is not
divisible by 3 (8 + 6 + 2 = 16 which is not divisible by 3). The number 2964 is divisible by 6. It is even and is
therefore divisible by 2. It is divisible by 3 since 2 + 9 + 6 + 4 = 21 which is divisible by 3. Since 2964 is
divisible by both 2 and 3, it is divisible by 6.
Divisibility by 7: We can follow an unusual algorithm to determine if an number is divisible by 7: Remove
the unit’s digit, double that digit and subtract it from the leftover number. If the difference is divisible by 7,
the original number is divisible by seven. If unsure, repeat the algorithm with the new number.
Is 1356 divisible by 7? Remove the 6, double the 6 to 12, subtract from 135 leaving 123. Is 123 divisible by 7?
Remove the 3, double the 3 to 6, subtract from 12 leaving 6. 6 is not divisible by 7 and therefore 1356 is not
divisible by 7.
Is 45 024 divisible by 7? Remove the 4, double to 8, subtract from 4502 giving 4494. Repeat. Remove the 4,
double to 8, subtract from 449 giving 441. Repeat. Remove the 1, double to 2, subtract from 44 giving 42
which is divisible by 7. Therefore, 45 024 is divisible by 7.
Divisibility by 8: A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits are divisible by 8. For example, 1295 is
not divisible by 8 since 295 is not divisible by 8. However, 1296 is divisible by 8 since 296 is divisible by 8.
Divisibility by 9: A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9. For example, 1295 is not
divisible by 9 since 1 + 2 + 9 + 5 = 17 which is not divisible by 9. However, 1296 is divisible by 9 since
1 + 2 + 9 + 6 = 18 which is divisible by 9.
Divisibility by 10: A number is divisible by 10 if the last digit is a 0.
Divisibility by 11: We can follow an unusual algorithm to determine if an number is divisible by 11: Add the
numbers in the even positions. Add the numbers in the odd positions. Subtract the two sums. If this difference
is divisible by 11, the original number is divisible by 11.
Is 1 235 862 divisible by 11? The sums are 1 + 3 + 8 + 2 = 14 and 2 + 5 + 6 = 13. The difference of the sums is
1, which is not divisible by 11. Therefore, the number 1 235 862 is not divisible by 11.
Is 4 151 617 151 divisible by 11? The sums are 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 and 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 5 = 27. The difference
of the sums is −22, which is divisible by 11. Therefore, the number 4 151 617 151 is divisible by 11.
Is 7 326 495 divisible by 11? The sums are 7 + 2 + 4 + 5 = 18 and 3 + 6 + 9 = 18. The difference of the sums is
0, which is divisible by 11. Therefore, the number 7 326 495 is divisible by 11.
Divisibility by 12: A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by 4 and 3. The number 394 is not divisible by
12 since 94 is not divisible by 4. The number 964 is not divisible by 12 since it is not divisible by 3. (The sum
of the digits is 19 which is not divisible by 3.) The number 2964 is divisible by 12. The last two digits, 64, are
divisible by 4 and therefore 2964 is divisible by 4. The sum of the digits is 21 which is divisible by 3. Since 2964
is divisible by 4 and 3, it is divisible by 12.
