  1. Necessary MovementsofAttention John Mason ATM March 2009

  2. Calculate

  3. Comparisons What is the same and what different about 7, 14, 21? • What was the same and what different about the two tasks? • ‘difference’ associated with subtraction; • No word for multiplicative comparison? • So how do we educate awareness of a useful shift of attention to multiplicative comparison? • When do we use multiplicative-comparison naturally?

  4. Attention • Macro • Locus • Focus • Multiplicity • Micro • Holding Wholes (gazing) • Discerning Details • Recognising Relationships • Perceiving Properties • Reasoning (solely on the basis of agreed properties) • Educable • Additive  Multiplicative comparison • Discrete  Continuous • Reacting  Responding (rules  tools) • ‘just is’  social  abductive & deductive reasoning

  5. Odd One Out • Which is the odd one out?

  6. Seeing As • Raise your hand when you can see the diagram as illustrating 1/3 of something 1 : 2 • What else can you ‘see as’?

  7. Square Count

  8. Bagged The number of counters in a bag is deemed to be the total number of counters in all the bags contained in that bag. The ‘bag-depth’ of a bag is the maximum number of bags within bags within bags … in that bag. For what numbers of counters is it possible to have a bag containing that many counters, subject to the constraint that each bag contains exactly one more counter than its bag depth?

  9. Triangle Count

  10. Regional • Arrange the three coloured regions in order of area

  11. Reading a Diagram: Seeing As … x2 + (1-x)2 x3 + x(1–x) + (1-x)3 x2z + x(1-x) + (1-x)2(1-z) xz + (1-x)(1-z) xyz + (1-x)y + (1-x)(1-y)(1-z) yz + (1-x)(1-z)

  12. Topics • Counting • Angle Measure • Ratio (Thales) • Trigonometry • Function

  13. Gelett Burgess Remarkable truly, is Art! See — Elliptical wheels on a Cart! It looks very fair In the Picture up there; But imagine the Ride when you start!

  14. Stressing & Ignoring

  15. Constructs Equation Denominator numerator Prime Factor • Angle • Length • Fraction • Regular shape • Dimenaion • Scale • Dy/dx • Transformation • Graph • Unknown; variable; function • Equivalence • Difference • Perimeter • identity

  16. Length-Angle Shifts • What 2D shapes have the property that there is a straight line that cuts them into two pieces each mathematically similar to the original?

  17. Symbol Decoding • 1 = 13 • 3 + 5 = 23 • 7 + 9 + 11 = 33

  18. Geometric Multiplication • Use Thales Theorem to calculate, given x, y, and z; • xy/z • x/yz • 1/x+1/y
