Elementary algebra

the outcomes to these challenges do not define me. What defines me is how I respond to these challenges. Ever since I can remember, I have never excelled in math. It has always been one of my biggest challenges and the worst part about school. In elementary school, I remember sitting out at recess so I could do test corrections. I also remember staying after school in junior high almost every day so I could get some extra help. Every year of high school I was placed in a higher…

Just like everyone else, I can 't wait to go home and start my summer. It was almost time to walk out the doors of West Elementary School for the last time. At the end of the day, my teacher tells our class she wants to meet with us in her classroom. She wouldn’t let anyone leave before giving us her parting words of wisdom. She meets with each of us individually to give us…

University. It was an online degree plan. I failed my pre-algebra. I suck at math, if you did not already know. So in a class room environment is the way to go for me this go around. The Colorado Christian University offered this, plus it’s a yellow ribbon participant. I like the faith based curriculum. I can always learn more about the Bible.

in. The Missouri A+ program allowed me to reach out to impoverished elementary students. Through this program, I learned how to break down materials students were already familiar with and present it to them in multiple ways. I used this skill to help children improve on their times tables, simple science, and reading abilities. I’ve also applied this method when tutoring middle school students who were struggling with algebra and history. The key to effective tutoring is finding out how your…

A small portion of students would express themselves and state that the school syllabus…
