Her kindergarten teacher recognized her inability to stay focused compared to her peers. In first grade, Grace took longer to complete assignments, had a tendency to daydream, and had difficulty with paper and pencil tasks which was the most noticable in math. Her first and second grade teachers provided her with additional educational support through small group instruction, and she receives weekly instruction from the reading specialist. Finally, her scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition and Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement show she has deficits in the areas of Working Memory, Passage Comprehension and Math Fluency. Since information has been obtained by a variety of dependable sources, identifying Grace as a learning disable child is

Why are the English and Language Arts a highly-favored subject? Why do teachers become fearful when they must teach math? This article explains how reading and math are much different subjects in many ways and how important each subject is. It discusses the importance of math, the reasoning behind math, and how there are so many higher order thinking questions you can use in your classroom when it comes to math. I personally thought that higher order thinking question were strictly for reading and boy was I wrong. Marilyn Burns wants teachers to be just as excited to teach math as they are reading and language arts. Math is vital in the classroom and it is time to overcome the fear of math.

At the age of three, Olivia was having emotional outbursts, such as temper tantrums, when she did not get what she wanted at stores or local restaurants, which was so embarrassing. I really wanted to start to go to family-style, more elegant restaurants, but I did not know if she was going to break into an outburst during dinner. So we could only go to fast food-style restaurants for the longest time. She would never sit still and would become squeamish and loud during dinner. After some time, an event changed the way she was acting. My husband and I were having an argument about something, and Olivia witnessed it. She began to cry as my husband walked out the door and she thought he was running away. After reassuring her that he would never run away from her, she started to act better and began to listen to our requests of how we wanted her to behave, with stricter rules. She might have also had some emotional issues, since she was shy and reluctant to be a leader in a group. I witnessed this when some of the other children were pushing her around, since she always was real passive in certain situations. So to fix this emotional deficit, my partner and I started to have play-dates at our house, where other children could come over and play with

Math was never difficult for me. In middle school , I would always be good in Math , the teachers would push me hard to do my work and understand math. I used to stay for tutoring to get better at math and to help other students out. When I would struggle with a problem , I would always work it out until I found my mistake or ask for help. In 8th grade , I moved to a new school and the teachers were different so I wouldn't ask for help or I wouldn't understand math but , I passed with a B which is weird. So I quit on 8th grade because there was no point. The teachers cared but I felt like I was a nerd and i felt different because I didn't know what was going on because everyone knew what was going on and i didn't. I felt stupid and I didn't

Is mathematical literacy practical? Some critics argue that the math you learn and practice in school is not beneficial in real world experiences. They argue that mathematical literacy is pointless if the career they have chosen does not display a need for it. Some might argue that they are never going to use trigonometry or calculus, and these areas of mathematics are a waste of time. The problem is the lack of realization. The fact of the matter is that not every career is going to use all branches of mathematics. Although this is certainly true, math is utilized in some way constantly.

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 ones who had lower standards for example, they were set on going to the junior college or going straight to working, did not continue math after two years in high school. The students who were set on going to a four year university continued on with math. The students with lower standards did not care to go above and beyond. This had me thinking. If some students felt that math was useless in the “real world”, why are we required to take it? In my opinion I feel that students should be required to take a math class as a GE requirement, but it should be math that is applied to the “real world”. Those who need math in their career can continue their math studies even further.

I’ve always had a complicated relationship with math and science classes growing up. Science has always fascinated me, especially marine science, but I didn’t always understand it, especially advanced forms of science. Science and Mathematics has had both a positive and negative effect on how I’ve developed academically. Experiences from former teachers and their teaching method had given me both fears and enjoyment out of my learning.

“Papa! Papa! I really can’t do this; this math problem is impossible to solve!” I ran crying to him, startled by the complexity of a “4+6” math problem. Since I was a conceited, omniscient second grader that knew everything from coloring inside the thick bold lines of a circle to counting to fifty-three when the whole class was at fifty-one, getting my knowledge challenged wasn’t my happiest experience. My dad, who I perceived as a human calculator, a human library, and a human typewriter at the time, acknowledged this atypical behavior saying, “Son, we flew to the moon and back, keep strangling those ‘4+6’ problems in your life and you will fly there one day. Now! Go try solving it, then go to sleep; you’ve got school tomorrow.” Since then, my journey to self-inquiry and to make the impossible possible started.
