One thing that I find very significant as a student of problem solving is to continue to use the entry phase when given a math problem. The entry phase allowed me to focus on the logistics of the problem. The following questions are what I found myself asking as a learner of problem solving: what are you trying to find/want to know about the problem, what do you know about the problem and what questions do you have? I found to easier when I asked myself what are you trying to find, rather than what

The following questions is what I found myself asking as a learner of problem solving: what are you trying to find/want to know about the problem, what do you know about the problem and what questions do you have? I not only used these questions in problem solving, but also in my other math classes at

Review of Literature Every student has their own story, set of experiences, and abilities. Overtime, teachers have quickly realized that they cannot reach all students with a-one-size-fits-all approach to instruction. Therefore, the goal of a “differentiated classroom” is to maximize growth and individual success of each student by providing different avenues for the students to learn the content, to process the information and ideas, and to create a final product. Differentiating instruction

heavy weights promoting their cause, there is usually at least one group arguing for change and perpetuating a cycle of mathematics education reform. Over time, oppositional voices have regularly swayed the decision-making tide and rocked the educational boat, resulting in a century of uproar and confusion

In my advance math decision-making (AMDM) class we were encouraged to look up a famous black mathematics for black history month, so we could see that there were black mathematician in the field of work. Therefore, I choose Marjorie lee Browne known for her gifted skills in math and for her electronic digital computer center at North Carolina College. Marjorie Lee Browne was born in Nashville, Tennessee to Mary Taylor Lee and Lawrence Johnson Lee on September 9, 1914, but sadly, her mother died

Philosophy of Mathematics A philosophy of mathematics should be included in an excellent philosophy of education. A philosophy of mathematics should include your thoughts and ideas about what mathematics education is, what impact it has on society, the qualities that make a good teacher, a teacher’s role, research on the standards and instructional strategies, and ways to ensure student are able to learn mathematic concepts in your classroom. Each of these ideas should forever be evolving because

Many women have achieved in the mathematics field since the 1900’s. Especially women of color. No matter how young or old, these women have taken their careers in mathematics to an inspiring degree. Take the following women as examples, for they have created history in mathematics forever. Euphemia Lofton Haynes In 1943, Euphemia Lofton Haynes was the first African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in Mathematics. Ms. Haynes attended the Catholic University in Washington, D.C. Ms. Haynes father, Dr

subject to his daughter. Thus, in 1949, she became the third African-American women who graduated with a Ph.D in her field becoming a pioneer for African American women in mathematics. In Dr. Lee Browne’s early life, born in Memphis, Tennessee, her father Lawrence Johnson Lee often encourage Dr. Lee Browne to take mathematics seriously, for she usually liking the subject and working very well with numbers. Despite the racial

course of action in the right direction. In 1980, recommendations were made by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics for reforming mathematics instruction in An Agenda for Action. These recommendations were based on results of the second National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and on data collected by the National Science Foundation (NSF) largely from a study called “Priorities in School Mathematics” (PRISM). Specifically in the area of fractions, NAEP contended that students’ inability
