Generation FCAT! Unfortunately my generation was driven by budget cuts, and standardized test. I feel like I got cheated out of what could've been a more productive learning environment. Throughout all twelve years of school, all everyone would worry about is passing the FCAT. The teaching curriculum was based off of that standardized test, teachers that actually loved teaching got let go due to budget cuts. Most of my highschool years I had substitutes for two weeks at a time! This summer I would like to learn more about order of operations. Once you know the order of operations, you are able to expand to bigger and more complex problems. I’ve always had difficulty with the bigger problems, they take me more time. One reason I can say I don't like learning math is because I have had teachers that didn't explain things well in the class and then to come home and look at my book feeling overwhelmed, makes me really dislike math!
If I could teach my math class for one day it would be on multiplication, I will never forget my second grade my teacher who taught me. She would play these multiplication songs every day in class till we couldn’t take it any more. Now ten years later when doing multiplication problems I still hear those songs in my head!
After taking the BARSCH my primary type came out to be an auditory learner. Auditory learners prefer to get information by listening, rather than reading or writing it. Written directions are more difficult to follow than spoken ones for most auditory learners. A study skill that I will put into practice would be having my test questions or directions read aloud. I chose this one because I've done it in the past and its helped me a lot having someone read directions for me, and quiz me once I've studied the material on my own.
Math is important for many reasons, adding up prices, adding in tax percentages, subtracting a discount percent. We use math everyday, even when we don’t realize it. We can’t always depend on technology to help us, just as easy as we have it now it may easily be gone tomorrow!
