Algebra

She was better than most men. Her skills included Algebra, Geometry, Astronomy, and good writing styles. According to Deakin, “The breadth of her interests is most impressive. Within mathematics, she wrote or lectured on astronomy (including its observational aspects - the astrolabe), geometry (and for its day advanced geometry at that) and algebra (again, for its time, difficult algebra), and made an advance in computational technique - all this as well as engaging…

Beginning in 2nd grade, I always had an answer to the often agonizing question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Beginning in 2nd grade, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I have my 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Linehan, to thank for this certainty as to what I wanted my future profession to be beginning at such a young age. Mrs. Linehan was not only a creative, nurturing teacher but a teacher who expected a lot from her students and knew just how much to push each one individually and a…

from Yorba Linda to Long Beach. Then I had to look for the school, and as Poly High School happened to be closer to my house I went there to take admission, and they sent me over to Cabrillo High School. I talked to Ms. Kim, and she luckily gave me Algebra 2 over there, and I was happy. They asked me to pick up my schedule on the day of the school. The first day of the school, I was very nervous, and I have to take a bus to go to school. But I had never been on the bus, and I had no clue the…

degree with an emphasis in math and English, with the ultimate goal to teach algebra at any level between the seventh and tenth grades. My eighth grade algebra teacher helped me achieve an understanding of algebra that I never knew existed, instilling in me a desire to pass on an understanding of and an excitement for math to my future students. In my opinion, a teacher can share various techniques and methods in teaching algebra which will assist students in developing, in the least, a…

I teach lower-ranking students their forms and self defense, help them improve, and encourage them to do their best. The same power and attentiveness I put towards achieving each belt, I put into completing my school work. In Honors classes like Algebra 2 Honors, I complete extra work and meet during lunch and after school to discuss a more complex lesson. To be in Honors classes, I must maintain a B- or higher in the regular class. Furthermore, I tutor students at my school in…

and surprised by how the author chose to use the word confusion to describe one of many ways of educating his students in the beginning of the text. I can relate to this because of my bad experience in Algebra II. For example, when I was a junior in high school, I had a tremendously dreadful Algebra II teacher that did not teach me anything but to be confused and frustrated with math. She would just tell the class to copy down notes from the whiteboard and then do the class work, but she would…

academics, and in confidence. Being average caused me to doubt my abilities and have a negative view of myself. This took a turn, however, when I tested into Algebra a year early during the beginning of eighth grade. When this happened, I felt above average, like I was finally excelling at something. This didn’t last long because Algebra was a tough class that tested my abilities and my mind to their capacity. This class taught me how to be confident in my abilities and how to keep a positive…

have never learned what was offered, at least at the pace of a regular high school student. I learned more about the many uses of a calculator, such as graphing algebraic equations, slope, intersecting lines, etc. I was also prepared for my upcoming Algebra course…
