The Importance Of Math Class In High School

would be the application of math in real life. I would have to calculate change and taxes on things my mom bought or calculate the sale percentage on an item. As a kid, I thought these were another one mom my mother’s ploys to my life about learning. When I look back I wish I could go back and tell my 8-year-old self to pay attention because this real-world application of math is something I wouldn’t explicitly learn in school. Throughout my primary and secondary schooling math and I would have a love

that math and science are our strong suits within education. The sciences bored me, so I did not do too well in the field. Math then became my only strong suit in education. With my current standings in academics, I can say that this is true—to an extent. There were more things that I could learn about math. All throughout my academic years, math has taught me the importance of focus, leadership, determination and work ethic. As a kindergarten student, I behaved poorly in class. My math assignments

was not taking school serious, more specifically my freshmen and sophomore math and history classes’ in high school. This misstep had taught me two major things that are important to have in this world, a college education, asking for help. These lesions that I learn helped me mature and prosper as individual.

My first memories of learning math in a classroom are from the third grade. I was at Seven Bridges Middle School, in Chappaqua, NY. I remember learning long division and recall having trouble with the concept because it was hard for me to divide the divisor by the dividend so many times. The way my teacher taught was sufficient for the class, but not me. I went to after school extra help led by my teacher as well as other instructors and had my parents explain it to me, but none of these approaches

George Washington Middle School has a fairly large population of special education students ranging from lower to higher functioning students. The teacher of the special education students at the middle school, Ms. Jones, had a difficult job in creating lesson plans and activities that would be engaging and on the appropriate level for all students. Ms. Jones found a new computer program that she knew all of her students would be able to enjoy and learn from. The mobile computer lab was a very hot

English 111 9/25/12 Compare and Contrast I could go on and on about how many similarities high school and college have, but I’d rather interest you in their differences. The three main differences between these two educations are homework, tests, and rules of attendance. I would personally prefer college over high school any day. In high school, homework is pretty ridiculous. Teachers would assign homework every day and not only that, but they would check it every day as well. If it

When in math class many students say, “What is the point of math I am never going to use it.” That statement is not true, math is used on a daily basis in our everyday life. “Mathematics is the queen of science, and arithmetic the queen of mathematics” (Carl Friedrich Gauss). Not only is math a tremendous part of everyday life but it is also a substantial part of education. Education is something that many people are passionate about, but many people overlook how much influence math has on other

Why is math required in college? Most students in my algebra II class, in high school, disliked math substantially. Math was only required to be taken for two years and if you were going to attend college, Algebra II was a requirement. When their two years were up, I could say that about half the students did not continue math. Many students in my Pre-Cal class always had a thing about asking the teacher when they were ever going to solve a problem like that in the “real world”. I noticed that the

harder and harder if I do not accepted failure. Also , it is a way to be successful . One of my failure was in my four years of high school . In high school, I have failed in a math class, drop out of a class and got a bad store on Act or Sat. The beginning of sophomore years I decided to take honors English and algebra two classes . The first day of honors English class was great and as the semester went by I realize that I was barely marginally the

As a child, I was well known as the shy girl with her nose stuck in a book. It wasn’t until middle school that I learned to be outgoing, and to enjoy the company of others more. I decided as a seventh grader that if I was going to grow as a person, I eventually needed to understand how to communicate with others better. Now is always the best time to start learning, so I launched myself out of my comfort zone and applied for both National Junior Honors Society and Student Council. To my delight I
