The literature in science and math education has explored the major conceptual challenges in these fields that students face-so you may not be alone in this regard. We have also viewed a video of Heather (recast below), read literature on student misconceptions and found one that is relevant to our personal practice.<\/p>\n<p>In this writing activity, you will synthesize your notes on Heather&#8217;s challenges, the challenging topic you chose to investigate, what you found in the article you read, and how it relates to at least one of the required readings. Then, discuss how one might use digital technology and various instructional activities to help children address these conceptions. Aim for 300-500 words in this writing activity. Post your synthesis to the blog and note the target date for responding in the course calendar. <strong><em><span style=\"color: #01a9db\">Respond to at least one other posting in another thread by the due date above<\/span><\/em><\/strong> to facilitate discussion on conceptual challenges. <strong>Check the calendar.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"random-accordion-id-49\" class=\"accordion-shortcode  accordion-container\">\n <h3 ><a href=\"#watch-the-video-0\" >Watch the video<\/a><\/h3><div id=\"watch-the-video-0\" class=\"accordian-shortcode-content \" ><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support IFrames.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><!-- #random-accordion-id-49end of accordion shortcode -->\n<hr \/>\n<\/p>\n<h4><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/2018\/02\/05\/letting-go\/\" title=\"&#8220;Letting Go&#8221;\" class=\"\">&#8220;Letting Go&#8221;<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><em>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/author\/gursimran-kaur\/\" title=\"Posts by gursimran kaur\">gursimran kaur<\/a> on February 5, 2018<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/2018\/01\/13\/clearing-misconceptions-with-graphics-displayed-calculator\/\" title=\"Clearing misconceptions with Graphic Displayed Calculator\" class=\"\">Clearing misconceptions with Graphic Displayed Calculator<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><em>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/author\/vivien-kamhoua\/\" title=\"Posts by vivien kamhoua\">vivien kamhoua<\/a> on January 13, 2018<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/2018\/01\/12\/a-private-universe\/\" title=\"A Private Universe\" class=\"\">A Private Universe<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><em>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/author\/ryansilverthorne\/\" title=\"Posts by RyanSilverthorne\">RyanSilverthorne<\/a> on January 12, 2018<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/2018\/01\/11\/overcoming-misconceptions\/\" title=\"Overcoming Misconceptions\" class=\"\">Overcoming Misconceptions<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><em>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/author\/kamille-brodber\/\" title=\"Posts by kamille brodber\">kamille brodber<\/a> on January 11, 2018<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/2018\/01\/11\/4461\/\" title=\"What are the sources of misconceptions?\" class=\"\">What are the sources of misconceptions?<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><em>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/author\/mary-lynne-grant\/\" title=\"Posts by Mary Grant\">Mary Grant<\/a> on <\/em><\/p>\n<h4><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/2018\/01\/11\/misconceptions-and-the-wonder-wall\/\" title=\"Misconceptions and The Wonder Wall\" class=\"\">Misconceptions and The Wonder Wall<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><em>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/author\/shayla-mangat\/\" title=\"Posts by shayla mangat\">shayla mangat<\/a> on <\/em><\/p>\n<h4><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/2018\/01\/11\/4444\/\" title=\"Misconceptions and the Equals Sign\" class=\"\">Misconceptions and the Equals Sign<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><em>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/author\/amanda-ghegin\/\" title=\"Posts by amanda ghegin\">amanda ghegin<\/a> on <\/em><\/p>\n<h4><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/2018\/01\/11\/misconception-reflection\/\" title=\"Misconception &amp;
