MAT 117 /MAT117 Week 9 Discussion Question
Version 8

Week 9 DQ

If your neighbor asked you to explain what you learned in this course, what would you tell her?

RESPONSE

If my neighbor asked me what I learned in this math course, I would tell her "probably the same thing your kids are learning in school." As our generations progress, so does the advancement of the math that is taught to our kids in school. What I mean is, what may be considered a college level math course today, could easily become something that is taught in middle school in the future. Honestly, this course has a lot of elements that are reminiscent of grade school level math. However, those foundations are brought

We use algebra in many different ways. People who understand algebra find it easy, believe it or not. The people who struggle and suffer with it and learn to hate it are the ones trying to skip understanding and just memorize procedures. I will then give the person an example of what algebra is all about. Like this one about quadratic equations A popular example of a parabola in the real world is the trajectory of a ball in free flight. As you throw a ball, it first goes up and forward, then falls down while continuing to travel forward, thus forming an inverted parabola path. A parabolic motion also occurs when a basketball bounces on a hard floor. Another example is a baseball hit by a …show more content…
I would also tell her that we can use algebra in our daily lives to make things easier even when we don't realize it such as baking and managing money.
Not only would I explain concepts we went over, but I would also ask her questions about the last time she ever used algebra to solve a problem she had. I would also ask if she uses math in her profession.

    Roger C. Schank criticizes the way subjects are taught in school. I think he forgets that since our nation has instituted the idea of curriculum into the classrooms in 1892 America has advanced tremendously. We would not have advanced this much if the subjects taught in the classrooms were so useless and unimportant. Furthermore, Math is heavily involved in a nation’s economy and finances. Almost all economic decisions regarding a nation has math included in it. Whether to produce more of one good then another or how much money a nation should spend on its military is based off equations that math has given us. Not only does math help a nation but it also helps in small ways, such as in a family. If a couple decides to have kids, they should decide if they are financially ready for the kids. Will they have to make sacrifices on vacations or new appliances to have a child? All these decisions are solved through some sort of math.…

    Looking back on the course, I feel some sort of foundation experience or exposure at some point in my educator or career so far and that give me a feeling that I'm doing something right. That feeling of defeat, which we can often feel in public education, can be a heavy burden. Then for me, leaving a feeling that I don't know what I'm doing. As we moved through the chapters of the book, I had many moments thinking to myself "Hey, I heard of that before" or "I'm doing that." This was reassuring that I do know what I'm doing and a feeling of defeat is only temporary. I think that the class strengthened my co-teaching and skills related to applied behavior analysis. Because I co-teach all period of the school day, I was especially intrigued by…

    In regards to how much I feel I improved my knowledge and skills of advanced math during this course, I sadly have to say none whatsoever. I am just as frustrated with math at the end of this course as I was when I started. I did put an honest effort into trying to learn the material as best I could. I thought that since I had not taken math since high school nearly ten years ago, I would grasp the concepts easier. Apparently I was wrong.…

    Students can’t avoid math -- most take it every day. However, even in history and English classes they may need to know a little math. Whether looking at time expanses of decades, centuries or eras or calculating how they’ll bring that B in English to an A, they’ll need some basic math skills. Jobs in business and finance may require sophisticated knowledge of how to read profit and earning statements or how to decipher graph analyses. However, even hourly earners will need to know if their working hours times their rate of pay accurately reflects their paychecks.…
