Do you expect #kids to learn #math better alone, collaboratively, or competitively?

In a study of 274 1st and 2nd graders, it varied by gender (and not how I would have expected).

Boys performed better after working alone or collaboratively, but didn’t seem to benefit from competition.

On the harder tasks, girls benefitted *only* from competition.

Cognitive Skills among Adults: An Impeding Factor for #Gender Convergence? http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:ces:ceswps:_10428
"…suggest #numeracy skills used on the labor market are a possible important driver for wages that is not stable over time and can accumulate or depreciate depending on labor market participation and family responsibilities.
Hidden factors…may additionally discourage women from gaining & preserving higher numeracy levels."

One more reason why conservatives are unfit to to govern. They are not even numerate.

Happy #ElmerDay 🐘
I'm a huge fan of #Elmer, his story is great for stimulating learning, especially about #colours. My favourite activities are making Elmer #biscuits & Elmer candle holders 🌈

Is anyone aware of any basic #numeracy skills test targeted at undergraduate students that would be available in #OpenAccess?

I think that you'll find that your wife has a point about it being impossible for them _both_ to be the second processor. Simple arithmetic is on her side. (-:

Adults in Staffordshire invited to brush up on math skills to support children with their learning

Here's the first sample of my engineering thesis to sonify charge controller data from a #SolarProtocol web server. This is made on the tutorial from https://scribe.rip/@astromattrusso/sonification-101-how-to-convert-data-into-music-with-python-71a6dd67751c and is a proof of concept that data can become sounds, still working on getting it to music.

This is the power draw of the raspberry pi on January 2nd, 2023.
Higher power results in deeper pitches, low power is high pitches.

I've also set the velocity (think of how hard a key is pressed, lightly or softly) to correspond to the solar power. Compared to the beginning and end, where there is no solar power, there is more velocity during the day, which is when the sun is out. This part is harder to hear for sure, I'm still learning how to normalize and scale data.

This mapping of music parameters is mapped to every data point and saved as a midi event.

The audio is about 3 minutes, with about 4 data points or 8 minutes of data per beat, using a voicing of a Cmaj13#11 chord, notes from C lydian.

I didn't have to produce an audio file from the mid file for this point in my project, but I did so I could share it all with you. Painfully set up fluidSynth.

#Literacy vs #Numeracy

Another pet peeve - this one not Mastodon specific.

Why do we accept as a society that an individual is "not good at math". Some are even proud of it, make it at the center of their identity. We frown upon lack of literacy but numeracy? Not important.

This is a pet peeve of my son as well (an ex high school math and physics teacher). In fact this might have been central to him quitting the profession.

Brilliant! 👏🏼
I hope others will boost 🔄 for greater awareness 😊

Yesterday, Rishi Sunak stated “we will work with the sector to move towards all children studying some form of maths to 18” then later said “Improving education is the closest thing to a silver bullet there is.”
