Math in My Life
This year in Algebra 2 class I have learn some very interesting and important topics. Throughout this past school year I have grown and learned how to use these newly learned skills and my understanding of algebra is now complete. In math class this year, I believe I did fairly well and received almost got all A’s. I think I passed this class is because math in general comes easy to me. I only studied in the beginning of the year, as the latter part of the year came much easier. Partially why I did well is because of the fact; I enjoy building and constructing things. When I was younger I played with Lego’s all the time, but now since I grown up I build remote control cars and trucks and once in a blue moon I work on real cars. Through building these objects I connect with math more and more. In math this year I learned many interesting topics. I learned about scientific notation and useful it is and when to use it. I also learned about arithmetic sequences. Arithmetic sequences can be used to help solve patterns. People who work in the stock market use arithmetic sequences to predict changes in the econmony. I also learned about permutations and combinations and how to us them and what they are used for in the real world. In addition, I learned how to solve logarithmic equations. I learned about logarithmic growth and decay and how they relate to the real world. People use logarithms to calculate the deflation of a product. Scientists can use logarithms to calculate how long it will take to grow flowers with Miracle-Gro. Engineers use logarithms to figure out how much steel will hold a certain amount of weight. Engineers need to use algebra to solve equations, if they don’t their product could be defective. The subject I struggle the most was graphing rational equations, solving rational equations and most of chapter 9. I studied and did the chapter 9 spring break packet, but I struggled with that a little too. Just in general I do not like

    I currently teach a second grade class, but I have learned valuable information that I can use to help prepare my students mathematically for third grade. In second grade, my class completes tasks focusing on arrays and repeated addition toward the end of the school year. Creating equal groups is another concept taught more toward the end of the year. This course has provided insight on the importance making connections between mathematical operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Another skill taught in second grade is decomposing numbers into hundreds, tens, and ones as students write numbers in expanded form or use base ten blocks to create a visual representation of a number. Students will continue to decompose numbers as they transition from addition and subtraction to multiplication and division (Beckman, 2014a, p.316). Completing assignments for grades higher than…

    My eleventh grade year was arduous. Not only was I concerned about passing five Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GGT), but math III was complex. math III was full of foreign concepts and equations. Overtime, I grew excited about learning new concepts in math III. My teacher was a great influence upon me. He regularly encouraged me to work hard. With his support and endless determination I was committed to succeeding. A few weeks went by and class was going great. We were learning how to plot linear functions, factor polynomials, and how to find missing sides on a right triangle. I was very consistent with studying and reviewing past assignments. I knew if I did not study I would not pass the tests. As the end of the semester grew near, I grew concerned about the final exam partly because I had forgotten a few of the earlier lessons in the class.…

    Math has always been difficult for me. I have struggled with how to figure out problems and how I can do my best in math class. I was really worried about my grade in math because I wanted to succeed in all my classes in order to get accepted to my first college choice. I started figuring out the math problems in my head and practicing them at home.I used my calculator and computer to help me to solve my math problems. I soon found out that Math wasn't as difficult as I thought it was because I had learned the steps to solve the equations. No matter how difficult the problems were, I always persevered through them.That is how I learned that no matter how hard something is, with practice and repetition you can achieve your best potential.…

    In school, we are taught math from the time we start school until the day we graduate. Almost every subject, besides English, has some sort of math involved. As time goes on the math becomes harder and harder to prepare students for life outside of school. One of the main types of math that is heavily taught in high school is Algebra. In fact, it is a requirement for California high school graduates. By learning these math skills in school, it helps students for their daily life and in their later professions.…

    But, in the words of my spirited friends, “momma didn’t raise a quitter,” so I have spent my entire life crusading against math, the antidote to my joie de vivre. I have worked alongside a brigade of brilliant tutors, all of whom now have expertise in the subject of Consoling a Tearful Laurel. Therefore, my least favorite course in high school has been every mathematics-centered class I have ever taken. I will not claim that my struggle with math has led me to a magical epiphany or has made me a stronger student. In reality, it has given me a ridiculous amount of anxiety even from the start of my academic career. However, my friend Confucius has helped me reconcile this negativity within myself; I need something to balance my obsession with writing, culture, and literature, and math is simply the convenient ruffian to bear the cost of my love. In this way, my toxic relationship with math is almost poetic, and I’m a sucker for good poetry. I am incredibly excited to be the own navigator of my course load, even if that means transferring schools and…

    That year, I took Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-Ap) Algebra II with the best math teacher I have ever had, Mrs. Robison. During the first couple of grading periods, I maintained a B- average in her class. This was different, considering that I was used to having such high grades in my math classes. One day after school, I decided I would arrange a student teacher meeting to discuss my grade and the steps I would be able to take to improve it. While meeting with Mrs. Robison, she gave me some of the best advice I had ever received. She told me, “Jermyah, math comes easily for you but, if you do not study and apply yourself, your goal of having an A in this class, or any other class for that matter, will never become a reality.” From that day forward, my previously jaded outlook on math was transformed into an attitude that would allow me to get the grade I desired. The following year, I moved on to Pre-Calculus. In this class, I used everything I learned…

    I hope you enjoyed your Spring Break. You have been an amazing teacher, delivering humor, personality, and superb lessons in your classroom. Since mathematics is formula based and does not alter, each course builds onto the last; therefore each class taken in high school aids in college, in the workplace, and life in general. However, having the knowledge base is not the sole component in being successful in any particular subject. Sometimes it is the way the material has been taught, or instilled in our minds. In high school my foundation of mathematics was formed through Algebra 1 my freshman year, Geometry my sophomore year, and Pre-Calculus my senior year, all which had an immense impact in my mathematic skills.…
