The lesson that I have taught before was an application of using proportions as an application for Algebra 1 and as an introduction to the lesson of similarity of polygons for Geometry. The objective of the lesson was to use ratios to find your height. First, I give my height, and the students measure my shadow with a yard, using inches as units. Then, the students measure the shadow of their partner. Then, the students use my height, my shadow, and their shadow to find out how tall are they…

Through my journey in high school, I have found that I am not always the smartest person in the room, but I am almost always the hardest worker. I find myself being the hardest worker because I am always working for the long-term goal. My biggest goal is to graduate from college with a master’s in education and to become a teacher. Of course, to do this I have to do well in school and challenge myself to make more than the bare minimum grade required to pass. This has led me to push myself…

Learning Style, 2016). Logical learners “like creating agendas, itineraries, and to-do lists” (The Logical (Mathematical) Learning Style, 2016). Furthermore, they are great with numbers and especially complex math problems, such as calculus and trigonometry. Often times they solve them in their head without ever having written anything down. They learn through patterns, placing things into classifications while note taking, and love using…

In modern times there are many things that help us figure things out. Things that range from technology, rules, equations, previous discoveries and so on, but in the times of Aristotle there was not much of that. There were many inspired scholars that worked to discover and invent things to help understand the world and how it works. One of those remarkable scholars was Eratosthenes of Cyrene who lived to be about eighty-two years old. Eratosthenes was born in Greece in a colony known as Cyrene…

Ever since I can remember, I have been known as mommy and daddy’s good little helper.

The cognitive conservation of good student and helpful daughter from others just fueled my existence and pushed me to achieve more. There was a time in my life, not very long ago, that I was at the top of my game. I was an honor student my freshman and…

information the child sends to the Wildlife federation will be reviewed and with that data they will be able to track the health and behavior of wildlife and plant species nationwide. These and many other similar activities allowed us to spend time together as a family, learn new concepts, and understand our surroundings. Using Mnemonics to Help Children Remember Facts Mnemonics are simply strategies that could be used to aid information retention. Note that although it is best to learn the…

My school community is filled with opportunities to make the world a better place for others. There are so many service trips and groups dedicated to fundraising at my school, which I've also participated in, but there was an atmosphere dedicated to just trying to raise the most money possible and send it off somewhere. That's why now, as group leader of the Philosophy Club, my advisor and I try to emphasize that this club isn't about raising money but instead trying to create a space for…

“being a wiz in areas like calculus and trigonometry is a major advantage.” (U.S. News & World Report L.P., 2016). In an engineering career, you must be good on math, science, and problem-solving you like it or not, these three things are the basic definition of engineering. That will give you an…
