Algebra 2: The Troubles Of Learning Functions
January 8, 2013
Algebra 2 Well what I like about this class is that when ever I have a question you will answer me and when ever I don’t understand something you would try to explain it t me again .I know I would get frustrated but that’s because I have too much stress. What I didn’t like the class was when we learned about the F.O.I.L it confuse me at the end when you have to put all number and variable together. The other thing I didn’t like is some people in the class room are not going to say no names. What I enjoy learning was almost everything but I really enjoy learning was logarithms. I like because u don’t have to do a lot of steps and it really easy .Well I had trouble learning the functions at the begging but then I try and try until I got it . It took me almost a week to learn it. The thing that I could have done to improve my grade to all my work and to never say NO am not going to do it, and not to get mad when I can’t do something or when I have problem solving something . If I was the teacher I would teach the student the easy way on solving the problem. And I would not just give them work on the board I would go over it with them because if I give them the work the some of them not going to do it. And I would also change the room and how is set up. I thin I did well throughout this semester in this class because in my other class I have all C this the only class I have A in. I also enjoy being in this class because I get alone with almost every body. The topic in algebra 2 that we cover and I have a lot of trouble was absolute Value I do understand it but some time the negative sing just confuses me a lot. I really don’t like working with negative number because the are really confusing like when you have a negative and a positive together some time you have to change the sing when ever you get your answer or you have to add and get the sign from the bigger number all the stuff confuse me. This all I have to say MR.

    | Now, let’s reflect on the entire course: 1. Two things I liked about this class are: Learning and expanding my math skills, preparing me for my next two math classes. 2. Two things I would change in this class are: 3. I felt frustrated in this class when: I did not solve the problem right or used the wrong formula. Also the book is not that great at explaining. 4. I felt good in this class when: I figured out the problems and received good grade for my effort. 5. If I were Teacher for a Week, I would give video presentations for students having problems with certain math problems. (complete this thought)…

    Algebra has long been taught in the same way. This usually means teachers rely heavily on the textbook. Though some textbooks have changed in recent years, the central focus is till on paper and pencil, memorization of rules, and use of algorithms. The Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989) asks mathematics teachers to seek activities that “model real-world phenomena with a variety of function” and “represent and analyze relationships using tables, verbal rules, equations, and graphs”. The standards also urge teachers to give students the opportunity to be actively involved in math through data analysis and statistics that are integrated into the curriculum. My hope is to show that these types of activities can be incorporated into an algebra I course as a way of teaching slope, y-intercept, and linear equations.…

    This class has been an experience to which I am thankful for. I believe this class should continue to be a must for all incoming freshman here at Concordia. By taking this class I learned so many things about how to successfully adapt from high school classes to college courses. Every day in your class was a new day for me to learn about how to prepare and plan for success for not only the next four years, but also for the rest of my life. The great thing about transitions though, is that I was about to meet so many great new people in my life. With all the interacting done between people in the class, I was able to talk and have conversations with everybody…

    At first, I thought that I wasn't going to learn anything, but at the end I found it amazing how this class helped me. I never thought I could write a four page essay but as the time was passing I didn't realize that I was improving in my writing. My first stage was my first challenge, I didn’t know how to start, but I put my headphones on and I started typing. The next day, I asked for help in The Writing center and they gave great advices that had to do with my organization. When I turned it in I couldn´t wait to get my teacher's responses, which also helped me a lot to see what I should’ve or should’ve not done . In my second stage the level of difficulty was raised up since we had to write more than 3 pages and that brought my attention higher. In stage 3 all the work I had to do was to organize my ideas for my next stage which was another research that gave me the ability of separating my topics. In stage 4 we had to make an investigation where I learned how to do primary research. And I had to Interview a person and that gave me a challenge of communicating with other people for my project. And finally stage 5 became to be a little easier since it was a reflection of all the work we had already done, it made me realize that I really improve in my compositions.…

    I choose to talk about my Math class, which is MATH 165 with Prof. Edgar. This class is Calculus I. We are learning to understand the “instantaneous” change, by which we mean changes over tiny intervals of time. First, when I saw the class’s description I guessed that it would be a really interesting class. But this one is sort of boring because of the professor and some students.…

    I have seen how angry Mrs. McCormick gets when people talk over her or be on their phones. Mrs. McCormick gives the student all the information needed for the project or paper. Also I learned that it helps a lot actually reading the novels. I read most of The Great Gatsby and that helped tremendously on that paper. One regret is that I for sure did less than was expected of me. I had senioritis from day one and that affected my value of work. I am satisfied with this class, I loved the free time and the great discussions in here with fellow classmates. A regret though is not working harder on those…

    When I came to this school, I was in the fifth grade. At first, I didn't like it at all. I got in trouble to much, and that was the main reason I didn't like it here. Through fifth grade I was not a good student, had bad grades, and had too many levels to count. By sixth grade, I was starting to mature and wasn't getting bad grades as often, but I was still getting in trouble. By seventh grade, I was getting good grades and barely got into trouble. I think the main reason for that is because of my teacher Mr. Finley. In my eighth grade year, I was what some people would call a perfect student. At least in the beginning of the year, that is. By the halfway point of the year, I was getting into trouble again and my…

    While in the classes I felt extremely comfortable being around the students and answering questions when they asked me. While being a teacher it is crucial to feel at ease in your work environment because if you don’t it will be almost unfeasible to do your job in a successful manner. Being around the students and helping them when need be was a great experience for me. Almost all of the classroom environments I observed were inconsistent mainly because of the ways the students acted. When the students were well behaved and listened to the teacher it was a positive and beneficial…

Additionally, I enjoy the challenge of working with children who have difficulties in content areas or challenging students who are strong in certain content areas. Finally, I take pleasure in creating a warm and inviting classroom culture with my students.…
