Algebra

This past summer I took an algebra class at STC that really boosted my academically confidence. I had gotten quite a few B’s in my last classes and just decided to switch that around and get an A in algebra. I have always liked algebra, but I was never too sure as if I was good enough to get such a high grade. I had an epiphany where I thought about my future. I thought about how if I wanted to succeed, I needed to try harder and push myself. I knew I had it in me, I just was very doubtful…

I can recall a time when I challenged myself to do tremendous work over the summer. That summer was this year, where I encouraged myself to take drivers education for my license next year, test out of Algebra 2 and P.E., work at my parent’s nail salon to earn some cash, do my AP History and Advanced English homework, practiced my viola for Symphonic Orchestra, read during the night, and study for the S.A.T. (which was too early). I was prompted to act because I recently found my ambitions for…

I can recall my recent summer when I challenged myself to do tremendous homework. Looking back to my previous summers, they are all boring, so I encouraged myself to take drivers education for my license next year, test out of Algebra 2 and P.E., work at my parent’s nail salon to earn some cash, do my AP History and Advanced English homework, practiced my viola for Symphonic Orchestra, read during the night, and study for the S.A.T. (which was indeed, way too early for me). I was prompted to act…

Mikayla Wood 30 September, 2016 Mr. Hinkley Blue 4 Should Students Have to Take Math Classes Up To Algebra II In High School? Taking higher level math classes in high school has been a controversial topic for quite a few years now. Should students really be required to take such difficult math courses, even when what they want to do after high school doesn't require classes such as calculus? Throughout a students high school career - they are put under large amounts of stress between…

but we have just improved them to make them more advanced and even better than the original creation. The three greatest advancements that Islam gave to civilization are hospitals, games such as Polo and Chess, and the very well known math skill, algebra. One of the biggest creations that the people from Islam invented was the hospital. Back in the seventh and eighth centuries hospitals were used to perform surgeries on people, just like modern day hospitals. The doctors who worked at the…

science major were interviewed to see the importance of college algebra in their degree. Shihan states that Physics without math, especially college algebra would not simply be solvable. Moreover, he considers math to be the basic idea to explain “any quantitative disciplines” in fields such “physics, chemistry, finance, computer science, and economics” (Shihan, 2016). On the other hand, Andrey Stukopin states that college algebra, indeed, is a base for his career in Physics as well as in chess…

Sitting in Algebra II, you may think to yourself: when am I ever going to use any of this in the real world? You are going to use all of the skills you learn in Algebra II more than you will ever realize. Using trigonometry, linear functions, series and sequences, and rational functions are prevalent in everyday life. In this fun, exciting report, you will learn about many situations in which you use Algebra II without even recognizing it! Trigonometry is a widely used math concept in everyday…

My expectations in the past for math class, was for me to do my absolute best that I can. In 5th grade, I was really good at math and I didn’t take the consideration of preparing for 6th grade at Scott M. Brame Middle School. When middle school had started, I expected for myself to do great because I believed I would. Though, there were times that I did struggle due to myself expecting for it to be easy. In the long run I managed to pass the 6th grade surprisingly. In 7th grade, I expected for…

Algebra 2 In my life I had a lot of memories good ones and bad ones.The best memory I can come up with is when I was little and every summer my family went to Mississippi. We would go swimming, and family members houses and just see a lot and eat a lot. One of the years we had went I almost drowned by jumping into the middle of the pool at our hotel and not knowing how to swim. But what made the best memory was just seeing my whole family together and that I just like being down south, for the…
