In modern mathematics teaching we want relational understanding, in addition to instrumental understanding. Describe how a teacher would teach for both instrumental and relational understanding of long division 357÷19.
Teaching long division of 357÷19 for instrumental understanding
Teaching long division of 357÷19 for relational understanding

Show that the relation <u, v> = u1v1 - u1v2 - u2v1 + 4u2v2, where ū = (u1, u2) and v = (v1, v2) are in R², defines an inner product space on R².
A group of the following students got the following score in a test:6,9,12,15,and 18.compute the mean of the sample mean
(a) state the null and alternative hypotheses, (b) compute the test
statistic, (c) determine the critical value and sketch the rejection region and non-rejection
region in the normal curve.
1. The cahier of a fast-food restaurant claims that the average amount spent by customers for dinner is
Php 120.00. A sample of 50 customers over a month was randomly selected and it was found out
that the average amount spent for dinner was Php 122.50. Construct the critical regions using a 0.05
level of significance to conclude that the average amount spent by customers is more than Php
120.00. Assume that the population standard deviation is Php6.50.
Given the following information, construct the rejection region. Show the solution in
a step-by-step procedure.
1. H 0 : = 84
H a : 84
m= 87, s= 10, n = 35, "\\alpha" = 0.05
