These math classes have allowed me to gain skills and knowledge that I may apply in your class.I learned the concept of factoring in algebra 1. Factoring was a concept that I struggled to understand. It took me several minutes to determine each factor as I was not given a specific way to do it. However‚ in my sophomore year of highschool‚ I was given certain rules and “tricks” to solve equations that

Animal Kingdom The animal kingdom is a taxonomic kingdom composed of multicellular‚ eukaryotic organisms. Mostly‚ their body structures become fixed as they develop‚ yet still some organisms in this kingdom have the ability to undergo metamorphosis. The majority of these organisms are motile‚ which means they can move on their own and with spontaneity. All animals are heterotrophic‚ which implies that they depend on other organisms for food. Animals live in places that provide their necessities

Even though college algebra is considered to be an obstacle for many students in terms of degree completion‚ as teachers we must teach useful strategies to motivate our students to find interest in mathematics. Recently‚ there is a psychological problem that we as teachers will face in the future‚ which is that some students believe they were born incompetent in math. However‚ “effort is key to their success and failure is a result of a lack of effort” (Cortes-Suarez‚ 2004). As teachers‚ we must
