Math Classroom Course Analysis

My interest in Computer Science started when I joined in Robotics Team during my Sophomore year of high school. As a new member, I presumed a semester of Honors Computer Science would prepare me to contribute to the team. My initial excitement was short-lived, however, as I trudged through program after program - completing well over thirty by the end of the first semester. I sensed something was missing; I didn’t feel completely fulfilled.

Growing up, I was always the student that struggled in school and I was constantly being pulled out of class for extra help. Through all of my struggles, I always had many teachers supporting and believing in me. If it were not for those teachers, I would not have been able to get to where I am today. For that reason, I went into teaching because I want to be there for my students just as my teachers were for me.

Throughout my high school years I have chosen classes that challenge me that are graduation requirements and that

In 2016, the mathematics department in my high school experienced a growing disinterest in mathematics amongst the students in the lower years. So in order to reinvigorate excitement for the subject, so they asked the Math-Tutoring Club, which I was the president of at the time. The Club’s duty was to help teach Math to struggling students in both our High School and Public Schools.

In my opinion, I think assigning homework is a good idea because you'll help yourself. I think you'll understand the work you're doing in class. Homework will help you be someone better in life when you graduate.

As the last year of my college career starts dwindling away, I have been contemplating some of the many things that I would want to implement or not implement in my future class. One of the topics that I have been pondering over is student homework. I have been asking myself should I have assigned homework for my students or not?

The challenge of use of clickers is the response time in which a student is supposed to give answers is short and hence may sometimes make a student to answer a question wrongly although they knew the correct answer because of less time. Clickers also tend to sometimes malfunction which tends to affect the process of learning as it is usually hard for those that are used to clickers to be able to learn without using them (Shapiro and Gordon, 2012). Though it has its challenges, clickers should be used in classrooms for learning.

I don't think that I identify as someone who is a visual learner but as look at this list it makes me wonder if I am! I always carry a pen and paper with me just in case I need to make a list and I love studying in a quiet environment. Most people that really know me would say I am very detail oriented, but what I don't like of this list is reading. I have a hard time sitting down and just reading for enjoyment. Reading is something that I really have to work hard at even just for fun. In the online classroom it has been really easy to intergrate these things because of how organized the whole classroom is. I have everything laid out for me even a list of what I need to

In spite of the fact that this course was different than a traditional in-class course, I believe that it has helped me tremendously in a substantial variety of ways. When I was introduced to the online course process for the first time, the idea appeared odd to me. However, I soon realized how many advantages there are in regards to saving time. As the days went by, this class helped me think critically and accept different points of view in ongoing conversations about certain issues my classmates and I were discussing. Additionally, this class also taught me about the importance of staying organized with all my homework and managing my available time wisely. Although we were not in a classroom setting, Professor Mills along with my peers

To support increased learning in our allotted thirty minutes time frame, we included some videos pre-class to help to establish a concept of our topic and, emailed our powerpoint in which they could take their own notes during class. We used repetition with discretion to provide a platform for which our Powerpoint presentation could build up their understanding (Fitzgerald, K., & Keyes, K. (2014). We feel this minimized the same information being repeated in a manner in what Fitzgerald & Keyes (2014) desctive effective learning tools by reviewing key points to deepen the learner 's understanding.

Use of hand-held clicker are straightforward. Question projects to the board and students enters their response to the clicker. Software shows result on the screen right away. Clickers are good because they allows educators to see the level of understanding of the concept. Additionally the use of clickers not just engages students actively to the class but also makes students accountable.

Larger Projector Screen and High-tech Handwriting: It would be best to widen the projector screen in this rectangular room. As I mentioned above, for those seat in the sides and rear, it’s hard to recognize some important contents in the slides projected on the screen (e.g. numbers, charts). Enlarging the projector screen would surely enhance the visibility of projector and hence improve our learning experience.

Mrs. Goss is a first grade teacher at Riverside Elementary, in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Riverside is a Title 1 school. Her class has eighteen students, ten of which are boys and eight are girls. There are two different ethnicities represented in the class with thirteen students who identify as white and five who identify as African American. In terms of what levels the students are on in mathematics, Mrs. Goss identified her class as being evenly split, as six of the students as below level, six as at level, and six as above level. When my co-teacher, Felicia Lemons and I first met Mrs. Goss and we asked her what were some interesting facts about her students she told us they love read alouds, with Mo

They can also assist instructors in assessing student comprehension and developing classroom activities that allow for the application of key concepts to practical problems”. According to them there are many potential trade-offs of using the clicker and pedagogical values. One of these is it will obtain student participation and engagement to rise deeper thinking about the selected topic and it monitor students’ understanding in order to recognize and assert areas of confusion and adjust the speed of the course appropriately but it can take an

The classroom for IB Media, Media one and film is in the brand new wind of the remodel. It’s situated just past the cafeteria and was especially designed for this curriculum. It sits between a career technical classroom, complete with a 3-d printer and the business classroom used for computer classes. It’s interesting that Mr. Wests class is not close to Visual Arts. It’s actually at the opposite end of the school. I don’t perceive this as a coincidence. The bundling with career and technical classrooms seems to be the way the administration separates these medium. Mr. West does go to departmental meetings with the arts, Theater, Dance, Visual and Media.
