Please discuss Importance of justifying ideas in mathematics as an apprach to use in the early grades mathematics. This must include examples from literature 
This is what I have so far:
The study by Desoete et al. (2001) involving
165 Grade 3 learners revealed that learners struggle to articulate coherent
solutions and explain their problem-solving methods. The researchers found that
learners heavily rely on direct teacher instructions for methods and procedures
to solve problems, highlighting the need to deepen mathematical understanding
and critical thinking skills in learners (Desoete et al., 2001). To enhance
learners’ mathematical abilities, it is crucial to encourage independent
exploration of problem-solving strategies and effective communication of
reasoning (Desoete et al., 2001). The approach of justifying ideas can be used
to improve conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts (YILMAZ et al.,
2019) and as a tool to enhance critical thinking. This process involves
learners providing reasons as to why a mathematical statement is correct or
incorrect, and explaining and articulating their actions, perceptions, and
thought processes when solving a math problem (YILMAZ et al., 2019). This aligns
with the findings of Desoete et al. (2001) that emphasize the importance of
learners developing the ability to communicate their reasoning and thinking
processes when solving mathematical problems.

Homework Content
As a teacher, knowing how to code standards and read coded standards will significantly aid your lesson planning. For this assignment you will practice using the ELP Standards, coding them, and aligning them with content area standards, such as math and science. Understanding the differences between the ELP Standards and the proficiency levels can help you determine how to scaffold your instruction with ELs. Aligning ELPS with content area standards will be key when planning lessons for a classroom with regular education students and ELs.

REVIEW MY ATTACH LAST ASSIGNMENT

The purpose of this assessment is to describe what research methods (quantitative/qualitative) will be used to gather information for your Capstone evaluation project. Topic-Does the McNAir High School mentorship program implemented as intended? (process evaluation)
Evaluation questions-. What are the specific discrepancies between the intended implementation of the mentorship program and its actual execution at McNair High School?
2. How do the feelings of scrutiny among mentees and the sense of overload among mentors impact the overall effectiveness of the mentorship program? 3. What strategies or recommendations can be implemented to address the misalignment and improve the mentorship program’s efficiency and sustainability?
Background- The mentorship program is currently facing challenges regarding several key issues in supporting new teachers and managing the workload of experienced mentors. The induction phase for new educators is filled with tasks, including adapting to school cultures, managing classrooms effectively, and aligning instruction with district and state standards. The program’s heavy reliance on formal observations has led to mentors feeling overwhelmed by their duties and mentees feeling scrutinized, which can detract from the intended supportive nature of the program. This problem is further intensified by the variety of mentoring approaches that focus on balancing the enhancement of teaching practices with the deepening of conceptual understanding (Carmi, 2024). Furthermore, there is a need for a mentorship model that emphasizes real-time support and feedback rather than periodic observation check-ins. Shifting towards a mentorship model that emphasizes immediate support could improve effectiveness by aligning better with everyday teaching needs (Hughes, 2022). The mentorship program’s challenges encompass the need to overhaul its approach to focus on immediate support and feedback, addressing issues of workload management, and maintaining a supportive environment for both new teachers and experienced mentors. Despite a well-intentioned mentorship program aimed at onboarding and supporting new teachers, a significant gap exists in the practical implementation of the plan.

Assessment Description
Planning for instruction begins with identifying appropriate state content standards to be taught. Analyzing these standards provides the basis for instructional planning.
Select a grade level (K-8 elementary or K-12 special education) and a content area of your choice. Choose one standard from the content area. This standard will be the focus of your assignments throughout this course.
Using the “Unwrapping a Standard” template, analyze the standard and possible instructional strategies to teach the standard. Your analysis should focus on:
The verbs used within the standard and correlating levels of Bloom’s taxonomy.
How students will show evidence of mastery of each part of the standard.
Appropriate strategies or methods of instruction for teaching the standard to meet the needs of all students
Based on your analysis, write at least two developmentally appropriate learning objectives for the standard. Refer to the “Writing Competency-Based Learning Objectives.”
Support your analysis with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
While APA style 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.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite Technical Support Articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

Select a transformational leader of your choosing. (Barack Obama) Write a 3 page paper explaining how this leader was transformational in what s/he accomplished and what traits s/he had that inspired others to follow. You must use direct and indirect quotes(paraphrased) from Northouse.
Refrence: Northouse, P. G. (2021). Leadership: Theory and Practice (9th ed.). SAGE Publications, Inc. (US). https://ecampus.vitalsource.com/books/9781071834473
Chapter 8 attached with page numbers at the bottom.
When you turn in any papers, you will always want to ensure you are pulling research from the Northouse text and citing in with your papers.  You can do this in a mixture of ways, but both ways should be happening.  Those two ways are through direct quotes from Northouse and through indirect (paraphrased) quotes.  This helps you get in the practice of writing for your dissertation.  I have put some examples below, as I will be looking for the correct usage and that will be a part of your points moving forward.  Please do reach out if you have any
questions.
Here are key points for using direct quotes for APA style for short quotes (less than 40 words):
Enclose the quote in double quotation marks.
Include the author’s last name, year of publication, and page number
in parentheses after the quote. Use “p.” for a single page and “pp.” for a range of pages.
Example: “Familiarity with nonnative speech in general, although it is clearly not as important a variable as topic familiarity, may indeed have some effect” (Gass & Varonis, 1984, p. 77).
Here are the key points for using indirect quotes in APA style:
An indirect quote is a paraphrase of someone else’s words, where you restate the idea in your own words
When using an indirect quote, do not place the paraphrased text in quotation marks
You must still cite the original source by including the author’s last name, year of publication, and page number (if available) in parentheses at the end of the paraphrased text
For example: According to Smith (2019), the literature on this topic shows no clear consensus (p. 4)
The most important things to remember are to cite the original source and to paraphrase the idea in your own words rather than quoting directly. This demonstrates your understanding of the material.

This assignment is the completion of an expanded Preschool Student Evaluation Summary Report based on the Caroline Case Study issued by the instructor. 
This analysis of an assessment oriented case study requires submission of a detailed report providing in-depth insight into the case’s documented status, the noted assessment results as well as the identification of appropriate individualized interventions, goals and objectives.
As per the New York State Education Department, a Preschool Student Evaluation Summary Report is required when a child, age 3-5, has undergone an evaluation to determine whether they are in need of preschool special education services. As its name implies, it is a summary of a more comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation involving psychologists, special educators and related service providers using multiple evaluation procedures and tools.
For this assignment, students are to read the case study and answer the seven questions noted below as well as all sections of the Preschool Student Evaluation Summary Report including Section 7, “Recommendations”.  Section 7 is to be completed with the exception of the Assistive Technology and Transportation recommendation areas.
The summary report is to be written in a concise manner using “parent-friendly” language.
