    Under a survey I conducted, I found out that about 74% of students actually like math. “It was fine before they implemented the Common Core. I think they should 've kept math they way they did before they implemented the new way of learning. And that 's why I hate math and dread going to math class” says Patrick Murzinski, an honors math student. Joey Rorro, a former honors geometry student states, “I hate geometry. Its useless information unless you are pursuing a career in architecture. Trying…

    I used to believe that geometry wasn’t possible without algebra, that geometry was essentially a representation of algebra. I didn’t have an experience of geometry that focused on the creativity and ingenuity that I’ve come to now know. Chapter 6 of Journey Through Genius reiterates how impressive the discipline of geometry truly is. Cardano’s solution to the general solution was astonishing, to me, because of the literal use of geometry to find the appropriate algebraic identities and the…

    After exploring geometry in all types of variations and activities since the beginning of the school year, on October 18th, 2015 I have planned to introduce the children in the 4’s class to an activity that supports spatial visualization and imagery. According to Douglas H. Clements and Julie Sarama, the authors of Learning and Teaching Early Math (2014), the ability to engage in visual imagery and spatial visualization is one of the most powerful operations in human cognition. This ability is…

    The Greeks developed advanced forms of geometry. As seen in document 3, the Greek mathematician Euclid created a book of geometry called the Elements. In document 3 an excerpt of the book is shown where definitions for geometry are written, such as, “An obtuse angle is one greater than a right angle”. These definitions showed how the Greeks valued learning because people could read the book to learn about geometry. Additionally, the learning of the Greeks could help people’s professions.…
