    test that I wanted to answer. I chose the Monmouth Mathematics Placement Test and Barton College Practice Placement Test. For each one, we had to categorize how many questions were in each type of math whether it was algebra, geometry, or calculus. The Barton test had 64 geometry problems and 16 trigonometry problems while the Monmouth test had 50 problems which were all algebra. I answered the Barton test because I liked the different variety of algebra problems it was consisted of. The Monmouth test

    growing civilizations, most notably counting commodities, taxation, and the division of land equally, rather than a pure desire for understanding that is seen in mathematics today. These influences culminated in the development of early arithmetic and geometry. The first civilization that is discussed is early Egypt. Records have been found referring to mathematics done in Egypt showing a rudimentary understanding of the Pythagorean Theorem as it pertains to the construction of triangles with whole number

    I choose a word problems, which is part of the lesson of finding the arc length of a circle. To address this concept, I want to assign the following word problem to the students: “A satellite orbiting the earth in a circular path stays at a constant altitude of 100 kilometers throughout its orbit. Given that the radius of the earth is 6370 kilometers, find the approximate distance that the satellite travels in completing 70% of one complete orbit.” The standard that is covering here is CCSS

    been mathematics. Currently, I take Honors Geometry with an active professor. The class is intriguing, and I enjoy the lessons. Previously, we had been working on advanced geometric constructions such as creating an equilateral triangle and a regular hexagon. I grasped the techniques quickly, and used my leisurely hours to practice. Many of the sheets of paper in my binder consist of perpendicular line bisectors, or angle copies. One eventful day, my geometry educator passed out a blank piece of paper

    Placement exam is to review everything. While researching common information about these pretests, I found that although there is a large amount of algebra, there is mostly a mixture of almost any kind of math. These include Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, trigonometry, Reading comprehension, Elementary Math, and many other possibilities. For this type of test, I do not feel prepared at the moment- at least not nearly as prepared as I could be. I know that I can achieve being prepared by doing everything

    The Math Autobiography of Jacqueline Gandara Mathematics is the study of the sciences of numbers, quantities, geometry and forms. ("Mathematics dictionary definition | mathematics defined", 2016) It is a subject that is simple as well as complex. Over the years I have learned that math is not my cup of tea. I think I liked it more when I was younger, when it was simple, and easier. I guess you could say that I liked basic math, like adding, subtracting, and multiplying. Growing up, I actually

    Today, our speaker is a great mathematician who has made many contributions to the field of mathematics, especially regarding geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. Through his lifetime, he has been a revered published author and has many prolific articles depicting his research. The man I am referring to is the eighteenth mathematician, Leonhard Euler. At a young age, Euler showed a propensity to mathematics and that was recognized by many elder mathematician. As a teen, Euler was discovered by
