Algebra

The following Antecedent-Behavior-Consequences (ABC) Chart has been prepared for Jackson K. Direct observation was done during his Integrated Algebra 1A class to complete the ABC chart. The purpose was to identify “environmental and contextual variables that support challenging behavior” (Chandler and Dahlquist, 70). There are some consequences that are often related to appropriate and challenging behaviors, some desirable and others not. Unfortunately, oftentimes students that engage in…

The eligible content aspect defines the content that the anchors should cover and even though not all content will be tested it prescribes the range of knowledge that the students should be equipped with in the preparation of their exams. The academic standards are specific to each area of study and for each grade. The system has prescribed core standard s for English and arts, mathematics and core standards for reading and writing in other units. For mathematics the core standards are meant to…

be; getting into a decent college . I know I deserve these ten extra points on my semester grade average. I try my very hardest in this class, I make sure my work is neat and well presented. Understand, and put yourself in my shoes. This class and algebra stresses me, knowing they're the only classes I’m not doing too well in. Having a busy schedule does not help either. Being in DATA is a lot of pressure. Also having to do community service hours after school throughout the year to graduate,…

One educational advantage that I have taken advantage of would be coming to a charter school to help my education grow. I had to a choice to g to a regular traditional school or to go to a public charter school, I chose the charter school. When I first entered the middle school charter, I knew it would be hard and I wanted to challenge my self. The first couple of weeks the teachers took it easy on us, but after that they started to teach. To surprise, it was not to hard. I had thought it would…

werom when I was a scared little freshman. I have been fortunate to have excelled in some subjects in school. However, there are certain subjects that have not come as easy to me. Mathematics happens to be one of them. Math related subjects such as Algebra and Geometry were subjects that I would go as far as saying that I truly struggled in. As a child ,math seemed like the most pointless subject in the world. It was until I entered the 5th grade is when it started to get serious. Learning how…

The output in Boolean algebra must either be a 1 or a 0 to be compatible with the binary number system requirements (Sharma, 2007). Starting with addition of the base numbers; 0 + 0= 0 0 + 1 = 1 1 + 0 = 1 1 + 1 = 1 While the first three additions are identical to the results…

When starting college I was extremely nervous when it came to my grades. I had fairly well grades but I definitely wished they were higher. As a freshman I knew I was going to have to take the general education classes that everyone was required to take if not testing out of them. Also as an accounting major I knew I would take finance and of course accounting. My first semester as of mid term has been very successful compared to what I was expecting from myself achieving all A grades thus far.…

The first marking period was very interesting. I was met with many obstacles and changes that I did not think we’re going to be there for my first marking period in high school. Some of those obstacles were the weekly test that were given, this is especially interesting since back in Middle School we were not met with such stress when it came to learning. Another obstacle that I have witness and overcame was the homework, especially in my AP classes alongside my Honor class. I was also able to…

math experience. This was the first time I was introduced to algebra and I found it extremely difficult. Being in an accelerated math class, the teacher would often go through the topics very quickly and that’s how I learned the art of imitation. For some of the topics, I didn’t really understand them, I just knew how to imitate the previous problems that were done on the board. This left many “gaps” in my mind at that time as far as algebra was concerned. I didn’t notice these “gaps” until it…

7th grade I took Algebra 1, a hHigh sSchool credit class, and I took the most important test of my life so far. Because of this experience I have adopted the quote by Charles Barkley that says, “If you are afraid of failure you don’t deserve to be successful!”, as my personal words to live by. I chose this quote by Charles Barkley that says, “If you are afraid of failure you don’t deserve to be successful!”. This is my personal experience: I am in my room studying for my Algebra SOL. I am…
