Reform mathematics

There has been much to take away from this experience. I have learned a lot about myself, my teaching style, students, the pedagogical methods of teaching mathematics, and likely many other things which I have yet to process. At the onset of this semester, I chose two different goals that I wanted to reach as I progressed through my clinical teaching experience. Those goals were to be more flexible with the way I teach, and leave my comfort zone of direct instruction and involve the students…

Algebra is a class that allows you to learn lots of crazy math throughout the course of the year. Algebra this year has taught a lot of different skills that will be useful for the future of your math career. One of the most interesting parts of the year is when you get to buy houses and chose what one you would like to purchase. Algebra is one subject that has been around for a very long time. If you would like to find out some challenges of this subject continue reading. In addition to algebra…

prefers to be on his own and independent. People misunderstand Christopher because of his disability. Most people just assume that Christopher is incapable of being independent, but in fact he is very capable of being independent and he is gifted in mathematics. Most people would think just by knowing that Christopher has a disability they would think that he cannot act for himself or be independent at all for that matter,…

don’t think you need me here every minute of the day” (Auburn 1211). She thought he was well enough to take care of himself. She trusted that his clear-headedness would continue. But, when she returned home half way through a semester of studying mathematics at Northwestern University, she finds he has returned to his ill state of mind when she reads aloud from the notebook Robert claims contains a proof, “Let X equal the quantity of all quantities of X... It is cold in December. The months of…

Many students tend to join extracurriculars their friends join. Rather than picking the club that describes them as who they are, they drift towards activities that have more members or “look good” on college applications. When I was a freshman, I joined eleven clubs, signing up for whichever clubs my friends told me to. My email was filled with the dates of club meetings I could not recall joining. As the year progressed and I realized which clubs I had a passion for. Out of the eleven clubs I…

for being physicists. His parents were Johann Bernoulli and Dorothea Falkner. His father was a doctor and well-known mathematician. He was called the “Archimedes of his age”. Education: Taught by his more caring older brother, Daniel learned mathematics very quickly. However, his father wanted him to learn business to earn a better pay than he did as the chairman at Basel University. After some arguing, Daniel decided to learn medicine in Heidelberg, Germany; Strasbourg, France;…

interesting and I learned many knew things about Dr. Heitz. Dr. Heitz has a bachelor’s degree and a master’s in mathematics from the University of West Texas and has recently received his doctorate degree. He currently teaches college Algebra, finite math method for teachers, geometry, and sometimes calculus or trigonometry. Dr. Heitz said that he always knew that he wanted to teach mathematics. When he went to college he received a scholarship to go to the University of West Texas. There he…

ACC305 Excel Flowchart Project (10 points) Required: 1. Discuss the internal control weaknesses in the flowchart. Propose recommended fixes to the situation (you may have to involve other individuals or system controls to address the weaknesses). It would be better if the head of the startup entity, who approves the purchases, was not the same person who receives the ordered materials. Having the same person approve the purchases and receive the materials is problematic because that individual…

The moment I heard about the club from the announcements that it was about competing in science I wanted to be a part of the group. The science Olympiad does a lot of things; engineering, Earth science, physical science, and a lot of other subjects. I like science for a lot of reasons. First, science is exciting because it holds a lot of interesting information about Earth, for example, building bridges, bottle rocket, and green generation. Second, science describes how molecules work together,…

When I was a young girl, pencils and paintbrushes were practically extensions of my fingers. I may not have been able to recite the alphabet or count to 26, but with a box of magic markers, I had 1,000 words at my fingertips. My first few years of school consisted of many parent-teacher meetings that revolved around the fact that it seemed impossible to keep me from scribbling sloppy stars and smiley faces on every assignment. That is until one day, I finally found a subject that I was truly…
