Weekly Math Review Q3 2 Answers

[Tamar Navratil]

Irecently received an invitation to review a mathematics paper for a conference called "International Conference on Physics, Mathematics and Statistics". It's not one I'm familiar with, but their proceedings are to be published by what appears to be a reputable publisher (IOP; Journal of Physics: Conference Series).

The invitation said "The review period will be 1 week." This seemed quite unusual based on my experience with math journals - reviewers are usually given at least 2-3 months and often more, as it is necessary to carefully check the proofs for logical correctness. It made me wonder whether the conference was "real" or predatory.

I declined the invitation with a somewhat snappish comment about the review period being unreasonably short, but I wonder if I was out of line. I don't have a lot of experience with conferences that publish proceedings. Was their timeline at all normal or reasonable by prevailing standards?

A sure red flag is a single "international" conference that covers multiple large specialized fields of study. Each one of Physics, Mathematics and Statistics usually have enough size to warrant their own conferences, and in this case typically super specialized conferences. A conference that is so broad is not really valuable to any specialist that attends it. Another red flag is that the website has a date agnostic URL, which means you cannot go back and see past conference outcomes and attendance. Red flag number 3 is that this is the first run of that conference, so no reputation or track record has been established. You mention IOP but the two other's in that same list are both from china, that has to date not been at the forefront or quality reputable research.

You are correct, usually for journals one gets multiple months to review a paper, from my experience conference review cycles are much shorter, but still in the order of 3-6 weeks. This is heavily dependent on the conference and journal. A 1 week review time should raise another red flag with point (1) above.

Always be polite, but clearly state why you said no. Snappish was maybe not the best way, but since this conference has a high probability of being fake, no harm done. Remember to also indicate if you can be considered for future reviews for that journal even if you said no this time (e.g. when your reason was that you don't have the time right now or that the time available is too short).

As of 2018-19, only the grades 5 and 8 Statewide Science Assessment is still being administered. For information about those assessments, visit the Statewide Science Assessment page of the FDOE website. Practice materials for the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) are available on the FSA Portal.

The FCAT 2.0 Sample Test and Answer Key Books were produced to prepare students to take the tests in mathematics (grades 3-8) and reading (grades 3-10). Sample Test and Answer Key Books for grades 5 and 8 science are available on the Statewide Science Assessment page. The Sample Question Books are designed to help students become familiar with FCAT 2.0 questions and to offer students practice answering questions in different formats. The Sample Answer Keys are designed to be used by teachers to explain to students the answers and solutions to the questions in the Sample Question Books and to identify which Next Generation Sunshine State Standards benchmark is being tested by the question.

Are you looking for a fun and effective way to help your kids develop computational fluency? Try our new Tangy Tuesday and Wordy Wednesday puzzle packs! Each pack is a collection of 5 math worksheets, designed to feel more like solving puzzles rather than grinding through equations. Traditional worksheets can be boring, yet very effective when it comes to building number sense through practice. Now, you don't have to choose between the two! At Tang Math, we found the perfect balance in a math worksheet - giving kids tons practice in a way that is fun, challenging, and will have them asking for more every week.

Every Tuesday or Wednesday from September until June, we release a brand new set of puzzle worksheets for each of the 4 packs at every grade level. Over the course of a school year, that's over 200 puzzle worksheets for each individual pack! When you purchase a subscription, it is ONE-TIME payment (nothing is recurring or automatic), which grants you access to whichever pack you purchased for the duration of that school year. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHEN YOU SIGN UP. At the time that you join, you will receive all back issues of the puzzles in your subscription(s) that have already been released, plus all the puzzles going forward on a weekly basis until the subscription expires in June.

What is the key to computational fluency? Practice. Lots and lots of practice. What about reasoning skills? Practice. What about number sense? Practice. What about every important skill I can think of? Lots and lots of practice! I am a strong believer that none of us have destinies or skills or abilities that are fixed. Our country was built on the belief that if you work hard and do what's right, you will get ahead. I think this is particularly true when it comes to school and math. My Tangy Tuesday and Wordy Wednesday worksheets give students the opportunity to practice and improve their skills in a thoughtful and systematic way. By the end of the year, kids who solve all 5 of my puzzles every week will have done thousands of problems designed to help them become better in math.

But that's not all. My ultimate goal is for kids to enjoy solving problems - especially challenging ones. Students who solve my puzzles will struggle, learn to persevere, and ultimately become better, more creative thinkers. Through their own hard work, they will become smarter more successful students. In conclusion, to be good at anything, kids need to practice. In math, this means doing thousands of problems to develop conceptual understanding and fact and procedural fluency. My goal is to make practicing so enjoyable that kids look forward to solving my weekly puzzles and problems. I hope you will give them a try!

In these sessions, a staff member works with students on a set of review exercises aligned with the COD syllabus for the course. We recommend that students work on the exercises ahead of the session for maximum benefit. Students may request a copy of the review by sending an email to math-...@cod.edu or stopping by SRC 2102.
