How Can Algebra Be A Camel

Decent Essays
If algebra was an animal it would be a camel. Algebra would be a camel for many reasons. For one reason, camels like to spit in your face. Sometimes you will be doing your homework from your teacher, in my case the lovely and oh so giving… Mrs. Billings, and boom that camel homework will spit in your face. You think you are getting it, but nope! That camel will drink a cup of salt water and squirt it all over your face, making you salter than the saltine crackers I eat last night. Another reason algebra would be a camel would be, because you think your camel you ride to school just adores you. THINK AGAIN! That sucker will get you when you are weak. You think your camel that you named after your Aunt Bertha and that you have loved for years

    The article “ Is Algebra Necessary? By: Andrew Hacker” is the article the reader is asked to read to understand the debate he set off by writing this article and then you go back and read the other article “N Ways to Apply Algebra With The New York Times by: Patrick Honner” that says you should read Andrew Hackers article to get an understanding of the debate. Mr.Hacker has made quite a few good points along the lines of how he understands that math and learning all the basics of math is very important “ But there is no reason to force them to grasp vectorial angles and discontinuous functions.” (-Andrew Hacker)…

    This was relevant for my own learning experience when I was in school, especially with division; I just could never seem to grasp how it worked in relation to multiplication. Occasionally, I am still met with decisions which test this understanding, however, I can now see the imperativeness of the learning process behind all mathematical skills, not just division, as students learn best with the instruction of a professional teacher; one who is experienced and knowledgeable in what they are teaching (Lakin,…

    Is Algebra Worth the Work? Recently, I came across an editorial in the New York Times debating the reasoning behind requiring higher-level algebra in high school and college. Written by Andrew Hacker, a teacher at City University in New York since 1971, the article suggests that colleges and high schools shouldn’t actually require algebra in their everyday classes. On a personal note, I couldn’t agree more.…

    Slope is an important topic in mathematics. The concept is foundational across a wide spectrum starting with beginning algebra with linear functions, even in advanced algebra to describe non-linear functions, and is entwined with the derivative in calculus (Cho & Nagle, 2017). Research has identified many different conceptualizations of slope that students attain (e.g. Moore-Russo, Conner, & Rugg, 2011; Stump, 2001). For the Student’s Mathematical Thinking Final Project we will focus on students’ conceptions of slope. We will explore these conceptions at the middle, secondary, and post-secondary level while discussing issues related to students’ holding limited views of slope.…

    It's just a set of mechanical instructions that dictate just one of the MANY ways you can use algebra. It locks you in a single path in the beautiful landscape of mathematics. Like a computer, it gives you the right answer but cannot actually give you any insight on what it is that you're actually doing. So, the order of operations isn't technically wrong, since it generally gives you the right answer, but it is morally wrong because it turns you into…

    Algebra 1 and Math 3 are very similar to each other in mathematic ways because they are both mostly about numbers, but there is also a couple of differences too. For Algebra 1, it is a study of how to solve equations or any math problems that has to solve for X and find the answer for X. Algebra 1 requires lots of thinking and self-calculating problems which will help you to solve equations faster without using your calculator. On the other hand, Math 3 is totally different. Math 3 is really about graphing points and finding the location of any points on the graph, which requires lots of practice; It's also about finding areas of any shapes or any angles on shapes. And also, finding quadrants on the graph , which talks a lot about x-axis and…

    What other kinds of creatures survive in the desert? What kind of adaptations would a human need to develop in order to live in hot, desert-like conditions? Camels share their desert home with lizards, dung beetles, cobras, locusts, vultures, scorpions, termites, hares, hedgehogs, foxes, hyenas and jackals — to name a few. Encourage creativity — some examples from the animal kingdom include big ears, like the fennec fox, to help cool down, a fluffy tail, like the squirrel, to provide shade whenever it gets too hot or the sand-blocking eyelids and eyelashes of the camel.…

    Pursuit Of The Unknown

    In Pursuit of the Unknown by Ian Stewart is about seventeen equations that have not only impacted mathematics and science but have also contributed to human advances to a great extent. According to Stewart, we generally disregard the historical link between mathematics and technological progress but this connection is integral to any complete understanding of human history. These equations are essentially based on the patterns we find in the world around us and using them one can make sense and consequently influence our world. Using seventeen equations – like the Wave Equation that helps engineers to evaluate a building’s response to earthquakes and the Black-Scholes equation, which he calls the Midas formula, which helps bankers to calculate financial derivatives over time – Stewart…
