you love the horse and you just sent it to the slaughterhouse. You will never see that horse…
Me: When the ceremony started I never though it would work; however, once they started playing the music it was just so lovely. When they took the colt next to her mother I just knew she was going to kick the colt again but she didn’t the colt started to drink from her mother, while the colt was feeding the mother camel started to cry and it mad me cry. Partner: I guess that’s why it 's called “The Story of the Weeping Camel” Me: I wish we had a ritual like that in our culture you know like when a mother feels like she cant connect with her baby.…
The Muslims made many advancements that would shape the world into what it is today and also help improve the quality of life during their time period and some of these advancements were in the medical, mathematical, scientific, and communication fields. The Islamic culture had many achievements that were the bases for some of the technology and resources that we use today. Some of their achievements came in the medical field and are mentioned when it says “Rulers wanted qualified physicians treating their ills” (Document 1) which shows why some of these advancements were made. During this time period the average life span was a third of what is today and rulers wanted to be able to be in power longer which meant new ideas in the medical field…
1) What math concepts did you find the easiest during the first 1-3 weeks of school? What concept did you find the hardest and why? Rate your understanding for each math concept using a scale from 1-10 (10 being strong understanding and 1 being weak understanding) and explain how to apply each concept. During the first 1-3 weeks of school, the easiest math concepts were solving exponential equations.…
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.…
In this essay it will explain about the similarities and differences between two units of Algebra 1, Unit 2 and Unit 4. Between Unit 2 and Unit 4 there are many similarities and differences in their lessons. In Unit 2 its lessons were based off of equalities, or equations, and in Unit 4 it is based off of inequalities. There are three main related lessons between these two units and they are, one-step equations to solving inequalities with addition and subtraction, multi-step equations to solving multi-step inequalities, and solving equations involving absolute value to inequalities involving absolute value. Finally, in this essay it will explain how these lessons are similar and different.…
There are many classes that people are taking at CBHS, one of them is Mr.Daller’s Algebra 2 class. This class is an adventure of through the world numbers, trigonometry, and algebra 2. Algebra 2 is an easy class if the effort is put in. Algebra 2 is a hard class even if effort is put forth, but others may disagree.…
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…
This year at Texas Tech University, I am taking the college algebra course in order to fulfill the pre-requisites needed to complete my pre medicine degree major. My current major is Human Development and Family Studies, but I need this math course for my pre-medicine requirements. My pre-med degree plan requires me to complete this course in order to enroll in my required Physics course later in my college career. Physics is not an easy course to master, there are many different difficult concepts we are required to learn. College algebra has many concepts that aid in the comprehension of the concepts taught in different courses, that is why it is a required pre-requisite for many college courses.…
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.…
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…
