Graph Using Intercepts Student Reflection

Graph Using Intercepts Student Reflection
Equitable Treatment Within my five years of teaching, I have tried very hard to treat my students equal and find something to talk with every student about, whether it is mathematics related or of something of interest to the student. During the lesson on graph using intercepts, I did notice that I do not talk to some students in the Algebra 1 classes. I try to talk to all my students, but I tend to focus my attention on the students who are actively involved in learning mathematics or trying their best to understand. The students that I found myself not talking to were my repeat students. I had these students last year. Last year the students either did not complete any work for me or ended up dropped from school because of attendance or behavior. I find it hard to build relationships with these students since they do not care about school. I also found myself not talking to the students who did not bring their textbook, notebook, and pencil.

I am always there for her when she needs assistance with a problem. The majority of the time Stormie knows exactly what to do, but I think she enjoys the reinsurance that she is correct and the encouragement I give to her. Another student I have is Alyxandria. She is sort of a repeat student but in the sense that I taught her Pre-Algebra last year and this year I am teaching her Algebra 1. Last year in Pre-Algebra Alyxandria struggled. I think her struggles came from being in junior high. Junior high seems to be the time of changes for students and these changes can affect their academic achievement. The goal that Alyxandria always has is to pay better attention and maintain a good overall
