MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN BERHITUNG ANAK USIA DINI MELALUI PERMAINAN BOWLING KALENG

This study aimed to improve early childhood numeracy skills through the game of “Bowling Kaleng”. Numeracy is the ability of every child in terms of mathematics such as sort of numbers or counting and know the number. Development of children’s numeracy skills can do through the game. This would be more effective because the children’s world is playing world, one of which is the game of “Bowling Kaleng”. Research was conducted on 30 children in Group B TK Dharma Wanita Gogorante Kediri. Those aged 5 to 6 years old, consists of 16 boys and 14 girls. The method used in this study is classroom action research using two cycles. Each cycle consists of four phases: planning, action, observation and reflection. The study was conducted at the beginning of January 2016. The results of this study indicate that learning through the “Bowling Kaleng” game can improve children’s numeracy skills. The average of child’s ability to counting, add up dan reduce numbers increased to the last cycle. Through this game, children learn to count concrete objects they like in a cheerful and pleasant atmosphere.Keywords; Numeracy skills, early childhood, Bowling Kaleng game

Development of Regulation on Accident Management and Statistics Analysis on Accident for China Special Equipment

Regulations on safety supervision and accident management of special equipment since 1979 were analyzed in order to clarify the rules and characteristics of safety supervision for China’s special equipment. The accident management process of special equipment gradually tends to be standardized and procedural. In addition, the number development and accident evolvement trend of special equipment in China since 1979 were studied aiming at obtaining the characteristics and rules of the special equipment development, and a guideline is provided for the safety supervision of special equipment in China. On the whole, the accident rates and mortality rates per ten thousand equipments gradually decrease in the stages investigated in this paper, but compared with the corresponding accident rates of special equipment in developed countries, there is a space for the accident rates and mortality rates of China’s special equipment to decline.

Don't throw the baby out with the math water: Why discounting the developmental foundations of early numeracy is premature and unnecessary

We see no grounds for insisting that, because the concept natural number is abstract, its foundations must be innate. It is possible to specify domain general learning processes that feed into more abstract concepts of numerical infinity. By neglecting the messiness of children's slow acquisition of arithmetical concepts, Rips et al. present an idealized, unnecessarily insular, view of number development.

Differences between the philosophy of mathematics and the psychology of number development

The philosophy of mathematics may not be helpful to the psychology of number development because they differ in their purposes.
