I was so happy that I didn’t have to worry about the stress of this topic anymore. My parents were so proud that about how determined I was. Now I realize that it wasn’t until I completed the Geometry class in my junior year that I passed the regents in June of 2011. I believe this is because Geometry was the necessary class to take before Algebra II Trigonometry but the curriculum in my school district wasn’t set up that way, causing many students to fail. Many students who failed were “A Students” and never failed a test before this.
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.
Rite of Passage BSHS 342 September 19, 2011 Babara Kennedy Rite of Passage A high school boy, 16 years old passed his math exam. Math was not Robert’s favorite subject so he had to study really hard for it. His parents said how well he was studying and promised to teach him how to drive if he gets a B and would give him a car if he gets an A in his finals and if he passes the driving test. Robert literally spent time in the library daily receiving extra tutoring from a friend John, he meets at the library. Robert forgot about his x-box and had less time for his friends Mike and Sean, who didn't think he needed to study as hard as he was doing.
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. They learned that civil literacy meant that they not only needed to worry about themselves but helping someone else out. I went through this stage as an 8th grader and was one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to socialize, have fun, go on field trips and other fun activities with my very own 1st grader. The thing is this doesn’t go on in every other grade school; those other kids that don’t get this option are stuck.
On the paper had all my class assignments, quizzes and tests I had done last quarter. All of that, along with my big, fat, ugly D that I was pretty ashamed of. “Krystal, you’re a very bright student and I know you know the work, so why the sudden downfall?” Mr. D asked, as we both stared at the paper. Honestly, I didn’t know what to say. I wasn’t going to tell him that last semester I felt as if all he did was deposit information to this container of mine.
When I have free time and friends need help with their homework, I would volunteer to help them during lunch. My best subject is in math and it’s also my favorite subject. On my sixth grade CST scores, in math, was 600 out of 600. I believe I am more than capable to be in Honors Algebra 2. Everyone has dreams.
Franklin was born in Boston N. England and was well raised by both his parents when he was eight; instead of becoming an apprentice to a trade like his brothers, his father sent him to grammar school and excelled tremendously. Unfortunately Josiah decided he couldn’t afford it and transferred him into a school for writing and Arithmetic. Franklin learned good amount of writing but he did poorly in arithmetic. By the age of ten, he was taken out of school because of the same issue. He was put to work in trade but none of the trades interested him.
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.
I knew I could succeed in whatever I wanted to do with my life, but the problem was I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. As students; however, we all process many strengths, mine being that I’m a great reader, but I wasn’t always a great reader. When I was in first grade, I was placed in special education because of my poor reading skills. Now this helped me a lot, by showing me where my weaknesses where in reading. Consequently
