In 8th grade I joined the REACH program, which was a way to get students actively involved with their community. Every quarter I would go out to an elementary school for community service. I would stay at the school for four hours, working with both the teachers and the students. I worked with Kindergarteners all the way to third graders. I would help tutor the children by teaching them about grammar, spelling, math, time, and much more. Sometimes I would also help the teacher grade, tutor the students, or set up the classroom. My involvement within this program shows a lot about my character. It shows that I work well with others as I have a great sense of communication with both adults and children. It also demonstrates my capabilities to …show more content…

I want to help others succeed at our school academically. Preferably, I would like to have them excel in math and like the subject after the tutoring sessions. I would help the students learn how to do parts of math that they are struggling in with clear and precise directions. I would show them visually and describe it aloud to benefit for all types of learners. I myself am better at learning visually and it is best for me when teachers show me how to do a problem step by step. This would be my strategy while teaching the student. I think it is beneficial for a student to be taught slowly at first and then find a good pace for them to complete the questions at. Going step by step also ensures the lack of mistakes because you will catch them early …show more content…

This way you can factor the equation easily. Now you will have 6x^2 -5x - 4 = 0. The quadratic formula is -b +/- √b^2 - 4ac which is all over 4a (don’t know how to put the fraction on a computer). The equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0, making a= 6, b= -5, and c= -4. So then you plug it in. 5 + √(-5) ^2 - 4(6)(-4) over 2(6). This simplifies down to 5 + √25 + 96 over 12. Then it simplifies to 5 + √121 over 12. 5 +11 over 12, which is 16 over 12. This means x= 4/3. You then have to plug in the equation with the subtraction of the square root (5 - √25+96 over 12 = 5-11 over 12= -6/12 which is -1/2. The second equations makes x = -½. There are multiple ways to solve for this equation, but I will show the quadratic formula since it will always work. The given is always your first line to the proof, which is correct. We can establish that angle b is congruent to angle h because they are same side exterior angles. They are outside of the parallel lines which make them exterior, and they are on the same side of the transversal. Corresponding angles are when two angles have the same location from the intersection point of the transversal and the parallel line. For example, a and e would be corresponding angles because they are both located in the top left corner. Angles c and e are supplementary because they are same side interior. Same side interior is the only time where the angles will be supplementary
