Elementary algebra

goal- orientated, kind hearted, a little shy and self- motivated. I’m from Spring- a little north of Houston-. However, my elementary years I would go visit my grandparents in Chesapeake, Virginia during the summer. Texas State University had all of the elements that I need to launch my career, such as, a successful teaching program and ROTC Air Force. I attended four elementary schools because we moved, rezoned the school areas and added a school close to my house. One middle school and a high…

students. For this activity, I selected my former high school Accelerated Algebra II teacher Della Highman at Franklin Heights High School. She has been teaching algebra for a number of years and even has an ESL math class that meets for two periods per day. I decided to interview her because of the diverse setting of my high school and the fact she has been teaching algebra for an extended period of time; I truly enjoy algebra and believe it would be the most suitable subject for me to teach…

down to my advisory with a big, bright smile on my face grinning from ear to ear that this school year would be an excellent year. When my advisor, Ms. Taverna gave me my schedule, I noticed I had two teachers in two of my classes (AP literature and algebra two) instead of one. That's when I realized that I was still under the 504 plan that was placed on to me in middle school. A 504 plan is similar to an I.E.P. (an Individualized Education Program), but a 504 plan is accommodations that help…

school programs follow the 5-3-4 system. This resulting in 6 years of primary school, followed by 3 years in middle school and then 3 years of high school (www.tofugu.com/japan/japanese-schools-vs-american-schools). While in America it is 5 years of elementary school, followed by 3 years…

I have always work good under time pressure and working by myself. It could have cause problems, for my class mates that are not used to testing under pressure; even though, we have done this since elementary school. I mean will have being practicing managing time in a time test since elementary and some students still cannot finish their test on the time limit. The testing room was usually quiet, which helped me concentrate, it helped me specially with my U.S History exam because is all about…

As I prepared my mind to withstand the challenges of meeting new people in middle school, I was confident that I was ready for what I was going to be facing. At first, I was eager to begin learning more sophisticated concepts in school. That was all I had expected as I was entering Stanley Middle School. Then it hit me. Many things had changed. My group of friends had altered greatly, my interests had changed, and my lifestyle had become slightly more mature, although I still was far from mature…

course I took at that time was a remedial “Math for College Students” that was a review of elementary school math- i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, positive and negative numbers, area, volume, fractions, percentages, simple solving for x… I have not gone beyond those most basic concepts since high school- nearly thirty years ago. In junior high and high school, I took pre-algebra and algebra repeatedly, and only ever eeked through- my highest grade being a C-. I have a…

this school I would be on my way to a better life than what I have. I can provide so much for your school, I have a 3.6 GPA, and I play lots of sports such as basketball, football, track, and volleyball. I’ve been on honor roll at Burdick elementary since fourth grade and I’m still on it. My strong suits academically are math and reading. I take freshman math…

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…

many similarities, and there need to be for both of the core standard can work. Common core places a greater emphasis on basic algebra while most states emphasize higher level algebra (Porter). States more than likely focus on higher level algebra because they want to be the best in the category of algebra. National core standards however do not care about the advanced algebra based math, the focus more on geometry. While common core places higher focus on less comprehension in English states…
