It took determination, a lot of studying and two years, but I finally managed to pass the Algebra II Trigonometry Regents. Some New York schools changed the curriculum, and instead of teaching Geometry before Algebra II Trigonometry, they reversed it to accommodate the more difficult Regents exams. The problem with that was that students weren’t learning the correct math subtopics that were going to be on the test. The first Algebra II Trigonometry Regents that I took in June 2010 was after completing the entire full year course. When I first opened the test, I realized that some of the topics included were never taught.
This is the kind of mathematics that most parents and government officials recognize as the curricula that they attempted to learn when they were in school. It consists primarily of arithmetic or computation and it is about finding answers to questions such as “17 is what percent of 9,and so that it is all about “solving for x” and memorizing formulas. The question is what is constructivism and does it effect student in math courses? Constructivism inn math terms is intuition into the theory that mathematical entities do not exist independently of our construction of them . Basically its saying that math is expressed in a different way to children than how adults intake math information.
I hated to do this so as I said before, this teaches that lesson of what’s right and wrong, therefor learning civility. As I got grew up I learned something every year. In first grade I learned that when older people help younger kids out for a whole school year you can really learn a lot. We had 8th grade buddies that were there every morning waiting for us in our classroom to talk to us before the school day started. Our teachers were very old and wise so they knew that this wouldn’t just be a learning experience for the 8th graders but also the 1st.
During those six weeks I worked on material that helped me get ready for the next grade. For example last summer I took am math class called “Algebra 2, which happens to be a class I knew I would struggle with since math isn’t a subject I’m good at, with the help from the ConnCAP staff they helped me better understand what I was learning by offering me extra help after class and worked with me one on one”. So when school started in the fall I was always ahead of my classmates. I did multiple power points and projects, I learned how to speak in front large crowds professionally and know what to do and what not to do, which would help me in college and in my career. At the end of the six weeks I was required to participate and complete an “End of the program
Reflective Paper Juanita Ashley Ramsey MAT 213 July 23, 205 David Beames Reflective Paper MAT 213 Mathematics for Elementary Educators 1 has taught me so much in 5 weeks that will help me in the future. MAT 213 was so full of great and valuable information that will help me become a great math teacher. This course has addressed several major mathematical concepts and through the My Math Lab Mastery Points and Formative Assessments I have mastered many topics from problem solving, numeration systems and sets, whole numbers and their operations, number theory, integers, rational numbers and proportional reasoning, decimals: rational numbers and percent, real numbers and algebraic thinking. I came in this class thinking it was going to be really easy and I was wrong. This has been one of the hardest most challenging math classes I have ever taken.
History was quite a challenge like I had expected. Being in a college level class taught me how to manage my time wisely. At first it was hard because I was so used to having a limited quantity of homework, that when my AP teacher gave us our six page assignment I was flabbergasted. Though the paper was due within three days I still felt like I was struggling.After completing the assignment I knew I conquered the Challenging assignment. Besides taking an AP Course in school I took a Political Science course at Hunter College.
Date: Wednesday, July 11 Times: 6-7 p.m. Location: Living room couch Subject studied: Algebra 101 Distractions: Tv sounds would distract me if it peaked my interest 2. I learned the most in my world history class junior year. The teacher did not teach in a conventional way and he was very hands on and interactive with the class. We often did activities and projects that made us think about and study the material in a way that was not the norm.
There I attended Johnson Primary School. When I had left my previous grade school, I was excelling in every subject and absolutely loved school. I quickly began to hate school once I started at Johnson Primary. The children at Johnson Primary were learning math in a different way than I had been taught. Although I was getting the correct answers, they believed that I was figuring out the
Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper George Tomadakis GEN/200 March 31, 2011 Bradley Volmar Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper After completing the reading and learning assessments, I looked at the diagrams and numbers and notice that my results were almost completely balanced. I would have to base this on experiences over the years and various positions of leadership that I have held. In my school and college years I would have to say I was more adventurer personality and had a mathematically learning style. This caused major problems in my learning. My attention span was zero to none.
Admissions Committee, Being born and raised in Shippensburg I have always wanted to attend Shippensburg University. While in elementary school I was diagnosed with dyslexia and a slight learning disability. I was placed in the learning support program in the second grade using an IEP I was able to excel in all subjects maintaining a high GPA throughout high school. I excelled at mathematics and science courses often tutoring other students during free time. I am proud to be a 2010 graduate of Shippensburg Area Senior High school where I have found memories of the teaching staff and all the help they provided.
