Math Analysis On The Classroom

Freshman year of college, a time of joy, and frustrations. Thrust into a new world of opportunity and comradery, but also no longer having the guiding hand of a parent or guardian to assist in troubled times. We now are faced to deal with problems our own. Here at Tarleton State University, two major issues that stem from very simple problems are finding a parking spot and also lack of variety in the dining hall. I interviewed several people and discovered that these are small things to the outside world but to those afflicted by these things they can be the thing that makes a difference between doing well in class and being successful, or not being able to focus in class or being able to go to class at all.

Students in High School are being pressured every day for publicity. High school is usually a place where someone can find themself, a friend group they feel comfortable in. High school students encounter many different situations that may lead them into a series of downfalls through high school. Being in this facility, students are often categorized in groups based on their personalities, what they wear, and their social connections. In The Breakfast Club there are five students categorized into stereotypical groups in high school.Those groups are the popular students, the nerds, and the emo students. Sooner than later, these five students figure they all have something in common with each other; high school, and the pressure of their parents has molded them into the people they never wanted to become. Despite the differences between the students in The Breakfast Club, they share similarities that divides them into different groups throughout high school.

There was absolutely nothing that could set me apart from the sea of designer purses, overly expensive shoes, and cherry flavored lip glosses. In high school, it seems if you weren’t marginalized into a group or follow the status quo you were seen as the misfit. One day, I experienced an epiphany in the back of my Government class, I wasn’t content with the illusion of the perfect teen. I had acceptable grades, I was well liked by most of my student body; however, I couldn’t come to the terms that I neglected what really mattered to me. At home my family would describe me with words such as: “eclectic, unique and remarkable.”, but at school I conformed into a person with a lackluster personality. I reckon that college is a place where each student is not the same and has the ability to be their true selves without being judged. This being, another reason why I respect your institution on the importance of accepting different cultures and

In high school, being a nerd is a fine line between being acknowledged or becoming a loner. As you enter the school you will see a few students sitting on benches. Each of these benches will have one student, each

High School has obviously changed since the 1985 movie, The Breakfast Club, which portrayed different school stereotypes through five students, and how this made them reflect on their identity. In a way, this theme of different High School Stereotypes proves to still be evident in High School today when students

Every public school lunch room is filled with many tables, every day these tables are the perfect place for a student to find where they “belong”. Like Beverly Daniel Tatum states in “Why Are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?”, part of the social groups forming in high schools goes to thank adolescents. Tatum writes, “As children enter adolescence, they begin to explore the question of identity, asking ‘Who am I?’ ‘Who can I be?’”(375). At this point in their life everyone begins to see their own interests and hobbies that makes them a little different than others. Because students are starting to realize their differences, in modern day high schools there are many social groups that students can identify with and feel the most comfortable being themselves.

As a student in high school, you have your nerds, jocks, and the regular students. When it comes to work and activities some things the nerds won’t necessarily do. Nerds tend to be much smarter than the jocks. Not really saying that Jocks are not smart. Jocks are more into sports rather than nerds. They both will get their work done to be successful and to have grades they would want. Sometimes I just feel as if I'm just a regular student because I'm not a nerd nor a jock. I realized there is a difference between a nerd and jock but with little similarity.

I spent my whole childhood sorting through this mystery, being classified and categorized in my peers’ minds as a nerd. I suppose that’s because that’s what I was. I was the one who would raise my hand to answer my teachers’ every

I know, *I know*, that the vast majority of you were the “nerds” in high school. You were the ones taking all-nighters in AP classes while others slept. You were the ones studying for tests or preparing for competitions while others had something called a “social life.” But that was high school, and this is an entirely new chapter of your

In the second Kindergarten math Cornerstone, students will take on the role of monument designers. Students will examine monuments from the National Mall, create their own unique monuments, and compare them to their peers’ creations. Following the 5E instructional model, students will be challenged to apply their understanding of describing and comparing attributes of objects and shapes. Students will have the opportunity to construct viable arguments and attend to precision as they plan and create their monuments. Teachers will guide students and provide feedback with targeted questions and prompting support.

I thought that knowing that things were supposed to become easier now for me in a harder class. I’ve earned this spot in this class is what I keep saying to myself, but everyday I wasn't so sure and anymore, it has now only been 3 weeks in this class and I’ve been drowning from the start of this paper. One thing that really just dawned on me is that, I’ve always been marginalized in school, intelligence wise, which is not surprising at all. In Glenville as a freshman, I think I’ve always been trying to fit in as soon as I got there, but back lashes like ¨you think you're better than everyone else¨ and ¨you're too smart¨. The dominant discourse there was very noticeable, which was a bunch of kids who don't really care about school, for reason I was really trying to be that but they knew and I knew I didn't

I also think that it is important to choreograph your classroom. Your experience as a teacher proves that some form of choreographing is beneficial for the way your classroom is managed. I also see how it can eliminate distractions and disruptive behavior. Choreographing your classroom helps your students know how you expect them to conduct themselves in your class and produces an effective learning style and environment. Through this video, Ms. Saul shows us how she used what worked for her classroom management through using her background as a fine arts major to help students move quickly and efficiently around the classroom through choreographing.

Surviving high school is no easy task. From the very first day of class, students are forced to find comradery in various social circles. These cliques can range from sports jocks, to math and band geeks, to school club members, and to the social outcasts who could care less about school. While there are more various types of groups, the most common are the jocks and the nerds. As far as everybody in the school in concerned, the popular athletes and the “wimpy” nerds are from two very different planets. However, while there are a lot of differences between the two as far as physical appearance goes, I had the honor of being part of both worlds, and I know for a fact that they have more in common than either would care to admit.

Observations for Jose took place on his science and math classrooms respectively. At the beginning of the class, the teacher asked a question to the group, Jose raised his hand to answer. He remained quiet on his desk while teacher explained the lesson in detail to the whole class. During the rest of the class, he remained seated on his desk and participated in the discussion at the proper time. The teacher showed a video to the class and asked some questions, most of the class tried to answer them, but Jose didn’t seem interested as he was with his head down on his arms. Next Day during the math period, students were working in small groups. Jose actively participated in the class discussion. He reviewed his paperwork with his peers and asked a few questions to the teacher’s assistant. Jose followed the teacher commands until the class finished. During the interview process, Jose mentioned that his favorite subjects were reading and science, conversely the subject that gives him most trouble is English because kids in the class laugh at him. Jose thinks that learning is natural for him and he can complete assigned works but doesn’t feel being as smart as the other students. When with his friends, he likes to hang out, play games and soccer. About his other classmates, he stated not getting along with them because they are always pushing or tickling him. Jose reported having no problems with the teachers or at school in general. On weekends, he usually enjoys of playing with
