High School Math Research Paper

Math is all around us , its everywhere we go . Mathematics is study of quantity and shape

Mathematical understanding influences all areas of life from social to private and civil. Therefore maths education is widely believed to be the single most important aspect to establishing opportunities for young people; unfortunately, many struggle with mathematics and become indifferent as they continue to encounter obstacles with regard to engagement (Anthony & Walshaw, 2009). Knowing a

For as long as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed math classes. Although some problems are challenging, math has never been a difficult

Tynan statement, “…you’ll have to push yourself hard to work even when you don’t like it” resonates with me. I have always been a fairly decent student, tried my hardest in all my classes, but for some reason without fail Algebra and I have never connected. For as long as I can remember I have struggled with math, it’s always been my weak link in school. I know may people enjoy math, but to me it’s a lot of work. Now I am having to relearn Algebra and I don’t like it, but in order to achieve my goal of becoming a physician assistant this is the course I must stay. Maybe Tynan is right and by the end of this I will have learned to love math.

 The math is something that people usually hate on school. But i don't. I always had facility with calculations. And my love for numbers increased when I firts won a certificat of merit on OBMEP (Brazilian Olympiad of Public School Mathematics).

If I had not have nearly failed fifth grade math, I would not be taking Calculus II in college right now. All of the repeating questions from fifth grade math failed to hold my attention. There was no escape from the boredom that left grades intact, and so I ended up barely passing math. That was a serious blow to my pride. Before then, I felt intellectually on top of the world. After receiving that grade, I was at least a couple pegs lower than before.

In high school, I was very involved with the school’s musical theatre program. I loved to act and sing, and I was pretty good at both, but I never got a part better than being in the ensemble. This was because I was not part of the “privileged” group of students.

In elementary school, one of the only mathematic memories from elementary school was unfortunately, was one that I have tried to get over. I will never forget the “minute math” worksheets that were given to us every Wednesday. Those minute math sheets consisted of 50 math problems. (These were normally multiplication.) To this day, I dread doing any multiplication because it just reminds me of those worksheets. To me, they never helped me. What helped me were the rhymes or the finger tricks for the multiples of nine. To this day, I still do those tricks occasionally! In elementary school, I was never strong at math. I believe I always struggled with math because the classes always came off as boring. However, as soon as I hit sixth grade, things started to click.

Math has not been difficult for me sometimes it can be a little bit hard. I did not struggle in middle school math was great when I was in middle school noting was hard for me. Because it was not that hard some times it was hard but not that much when a math problem was hard I ask for help sometimes and when their were no people that did not know how to help me first I think and try to solve it on my own and that is why math is not that hard for me when I was in middle school. In the past, I was feeling bad when I was struggling with a problem. In the past, when I was struggling on a difficult problem, I would never quit on the problem I would continue working until I figure out the solution. Because it was my responsibility to finish my home

Through the school years I have been to two schools. Some of my years were near-perfect but, others were a train wreck. I would have to say that my worst school year was sixth grade. Thinking back I have found many issues that lead me to think the year was a train wreck. First off, in the first semester I had an I.S.S. which stands for in school suspension. I regret doing what I did to earn that because it was as boring as a sack of wet sand. But as my wise 8th grade teacher Mrs.Moncada once said “You can make any choice you want. But, you are not free from the consequences that come with that choice.”

Math is a subject that I have struggled with for a very long time; it is something that I always set aside. Math is something that I never saw myself using in my future and I thought if I put it off it would just disappear. When I came to the University I had to take Math 100 and Math SAX, which, unfortunately set me back on finishing math quite a bit because I did not put in the effort as much as I should have, and the amount of work they gave, was quite an overload. I took those courses twice and was still not put into a Math course at the University. That is when I started to push math away, but I have realized I cannot put it off and math is definitely important and we do need to know the subject no matter where we go in life or regardless

During the years of high school, students are exposed to multitudes of branches of mathematics. Each math prepares you for college and different careers; however, algebra is the basic math every person will use throughout their life. Algebra will play a role in my life throughout my college career and adult life by means of taxes and shopping. .

Math was always easy to me when I was younger, but as soon as I entered high school it became a challenge. I’ve taken gate and advanced placement classes and even though I struggled with it, I was influenced to pursue a higher level of education. Math has influenced me to pursue a higher level of education because career paths that I am interested require courses in mathematics. I learned that math opens the door to many promising careers such as becoming an engineer, physicist, or a doctor. I want to become a doctor so I will have to pursue the highest level courses in mathematics. The math classes that I have taken in high school shown me that pursuing a higher education will help me in life. Some people say that math is useless because you won't use it a day in your life after you graduate from high school, but that’s not true you can incorporate math into a daily part of your life. You can get a job that revolves around finances or

“ Crack, Boom, Pop!” “ The ceiling is falling, the ceiling is falling, oh my gosh run!” We get out quickly and safely. This is literally our school! The principal asked us what changes we would want in our school. We said we need lots of new things and changes in our school. It is old and run down. We need jerseys for our athletics team, A Floyd County Buffaloes Dodge ball team, and an entire new look to our school.

My experiences with High School have been increasingly good. I started the year in agony. I hated everything about it. I didn’t have hardly any friends in lunch with me. I also didn’t like a lot of my teachers. I struggled with getting around the school. Thankfully, that has all changed. I’m starting to realize my opportunities and experiences are bigger and better than last year. I’ve met so many new people and made countless friends. I’ve learned more about myself and who I am.
