Nowadays, chatbots are helpful in many areas, including education. This article presents a chatbot that aims to help first-grade students get acquainted with arithmetic operations. The architecture we propose has a general character, scalability and can build other closed-domain chatbots. The results of an initial pilot study are satisfactory and encourage us to continue the research.

Increasing Trend

This study was directed to develop a learning technique, to analyze the obstacles faced by teachers in implementing the lesson, and to overcome the problems faced by teachers in enhancing elementary students’ reading and writing comprehension. In order to fulfill the mentioned goals, this study tried to use scramble-based learning technique. It was cconducted at SDN Gentra Masekdas 1, Kecamatan Tarogong Kaler involving 32 first grade students. A pilot study was conducted on 9 March 2017 for about 35 minutes. The first cycle started on 18 April 2017, while the second one was on 24 April 2017. It was found that there was an increasing trend after the implementation. The analysis proccess generated data as followed: during pilot study, eight students succeeded to reach the standard indicator with percentage of 25%. Cycle I generated 15 students with learning completion percentage of 46.8.%. And, during second cycle, there were 27 students who succeeded in reaching completion standard with completion percentage of 84.3%.

Vocabulary Assessment

Vocabulary skills are important for overall reading competence, but vocabulary assessment approaches that inform instructional decision-making and are sensitive to improvement are limited. This article describes a process for developing vocabulary measures designed to facilitate data-driven decision-making for kindergarten and first-grade students who are at risk in vocabulary. A pilot study suggested the measures could be administered and scored with fidelity, and also produced promising data for indices of reliability, criterion-related validity, and sensitivity to growth, particularly for a rating-based scoring metric. Implications and considerations for developing instructionally relevant vocabulary measures are discussed.

Know How

Let us begin at the beginning, say. first grade. We give every student a simple calculator that does all the basic arithmetic operations, including square roots and operations with fractions, We teach every student to use the calculator, that is, to find the answer to problems like 2 + 5, 3 – 7, −4 + 9 – (−8), 32.97 × 485.47, 2/3 + 3/4, and so on. Students do not have to memorize anything except how to use the calculator to find the value of an arithmetic expression. Of course, they have to know how to read and write the numbers and know which keys denote plus, minus, and so on, so as to be able to communicate verbally with the teacher or someone else, so some learning is necessary besides pressing keys. But then what?

Mathematics Program

The Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) is in the eighth year of the pilot study of its elementary school mathematics program. For the first two years, only elementary schools in the area of Carbondale, Illinois, were involved. In the extended pilot study, approximately 170 schools in eighteen states and the District of Columbia, with over one thousand teachers and over thirty thousand elementary school students have participated. For the extended pilot schools, sequential materials are available for grades kindergarten through four. Sequential materials for grades five and six were planned for use in the falls of 1978 and of 1979, respectively. Thirdand fourth-grade entry programs also have been completed for students who have not previously studied from CSMP. CSMP is asking teachers to evaluate its program and is revising as a result of teacher feedback. The final version of the kindergarten materials was completed in the fa ll of 1976. Completion of the final version of the first-grade materials was scheduled for the 1978 79 school year, with the materials for other grades to be completed one grade at a time on an annual basis.
