Math wasn't always difficult, in the past I honestly think I was better at math or maybe math was just easier back then. In elementary school I remember that in award ceremony's I would be rewarded 3 math medals and only received 1 language arts medal. Now as for middle school, math did start to get a bit more challenging. If there was ever a problem that I struggled on I would just ask my friends or the teacher for help. In the past when there was a difficult problem I would just work on my own…

Lone Star College has a lot of helpful resources and services that I didn’t know about, but there were only 5 that really stood out to me. The first service were The Dance and Zumba Classes in the health and wellness center because I do like to stay active and I feel like those to classes will help to stay fit. Secondly, I chose the Library because they have study rooms that students can use to study when they need a quiet place to look over notes, and I feel that this will benefit me a lot…

Katherine Goble Johnson: The girl who loved to count Three hundred and sixty-five multiplied by twelve is four thousand three hundred and eighty. For years and years, we go to school and must have a math course to graduate. But who are the people that write all the books and come up with all the formulas and answers? Who are the people behind the math in NASA? We call them the Hidden Figures. Over the winter break I got the experience of watching the new movie Hidden Figures. Hidden Figures in…

“The dog was lying on the grass in the middle of the lawn in front of Mrs. Shears' house. Its eyes were closed.

serve as the head of the disease control group and I was always curious to know about the causes, effects and the spread of the disease. Last year, I participated in a mini mathematics modeling activity on the spread of HIV and syphilis. I learned…

growing I vaguely remember learning mathematical ideas. Unfortunately, it is common for adults to have lasting negative ideas about mathematics due to the way in which the concepts were presented to us as children. Is it therefore very important that we are able to scaffold children's learning in such a way that they do not feel confused or lose their enthusiasm for mathematics. Children who are learning mathematical skills need supportive adults who recognise the importance of this and are able…

however, I put extra emphasis on math and the sciences. In my classroom, I follow the guidance of the California standards and always try and model with Mathematics and science in mind. Q2: If you could teach just one subject: Math or Science, what would you choose? Why? That is a very difficult question to answer because I believe that mathematics and science go hand in hand, but for the sake of this question, I will say math because I believe that by learning math, you can learn how and why…

Pretend or dramatic play emerges in the toddler years as imitation; it blossoms during the preschool years. Children love playing "make-believe." Think about the times you have seen your child acting and sounding just like you do: pretending to drive a car and making comments like yours; "reading" a book and holding it just like you do; telling a cranky "baby" to behave in your tone of voice. Children use their imaginations to take on a role and reenact what they have experienced. They play out…
