From the idea that they know that $x^2 - x$ is equal to $x(x-1)$, I was able to help to construct that knowledge. I also realize that complicated problems are always stressing the child, for this reason, we must first help them to solve the easy problem, once they are familiar with them then we can include the complicated ones. Cooperative learning promotes a positive relationship and communication
Materials Needed: Pond Lily pads with numbers Alligator head Math Skill: Greater Than Directions: One student will select a number from the pond, then another student will select a separate number. They will each place their numbers on a lily pad. As a class the students will recite the phrase: “ Alligator, Alligator sitting in a swamp.
Students would learn and become familiar with the Order of Operations and understand that they must do the work that is in the parentheses before continuing with the remainder of the problem. Another fun activity that the students could do for independent practice is ‘Fact Family Homes’. For this activity, students would be given three numbers; 2, 5, and 7; they would practice the addition first- 2+5=7 and 5+2=7 and then the subtraction- 7-2=5 and 7-5=2. The teacher would make six of these little homes on a worksheet and have different numbers and equations for the students to solve. One more activity that I would have the students work on to help retain the Commutative property of addition is a cut and paste worksheet.
o Mental math: 20 ÷ 2 (10) Step 2: Solve • Have students solve the division problem using long division for the 1st problem and mental math for the second problem on their chalkboards. Remind students to show all their work for the first problem. • Walk around and check for understanding, ask guiding questions to help students who might need further assistance. • When students have solved the problem, ask students to raise their chalk boards to show you their answers. If correct, students may erase their work.
The Winter term of Algebra II Accelerated presented a significant challenge for Dylan as we moved past review of the topics he encountered in Algebra I. He earned a commendable grade of 94% on the Unit 3 test, which assessed his understanding of inverses of lines and quadratic equations. Dylan missed several classes due to illness, however, upon his return, he seemed to lack his enthusiasm for Mathematics. Dylan was proactive in setting up a timeline to make up his work, but he failed to show up for his make-up test.
Math is often one of the hardest subjects to learn. Teachers know rules that can help students, but often they forget that those rules become more nuanced than presented.
First of all, when students are looking for their classes on their own it becomes tough to find an adequate class or instructor/teacher for them. Every teacher has his/her own way to teach and that’s what makes the difference or interest of students to learn in an appropriate way. One topic I want to bring on is about the textbook (Everything is an Argument) as a student it comes to a point where you hope to do a great use of what we put in when we get enrolled in college. For example, some teachers required students to buy an expensive book from the bookstore just because it goes with the class.
conceptual understanding - The lesson incorporates manipulatives, students will gain a conceptual understanding of addition and subtraction because they can use Play-Doh to physically add or take away muffins to solve the problem and understand
u02d2 Repairing a Learning Experience – Sheila R. Darden An unpleasant learning experience was taking an algebra class online and needing to have a tutor. I did not like math when I was in high school; however, I needed a math class to obtain my bachelor degree and could do a face-to-face class. It was difficult for me to grasp the concepts used to solve the equations and the tutor tried simplify the processes so I could complete the equations.
Although Khan believes that his program helps to create a functional classroom environment, he stresses the fact that there is no blanket solution to creating a perfect classroom environment. The Academy basically started off as a problem generator and progressed from there. He emphasizes the importance of active learning. Encouraging students to delve deeper and look further is very important. Access was also an important factor in Khan

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra expresses that any polynomial of degree n will have n roots. Moreover, Descartes’ rule of signs states that the number of real positive and negative roots can be determined through the number of sign changes present within a given polynomial. In order to demonstrate my understanding of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and Descartes’ rule of signs, I will provide two polynomials and predict the number of complex roots for each. Polynomial 1: f(x)=x^4-6x^2+x^3+3x-4 Based on my understanding, the degree let’s me know how many zeros the function has—4 in this case, which I have highlighted in blue.
In College Algebra I decided to change the preparation techniques I used for the class as well as taking good notes so I would be able to review them without having any confusion. For the lectures I believed I did a good job in a few techniques the textbook presented such as “Be Here Now”, good listening skills and note-taking skills. The preparation for lecture that the book gives is reviewing the notes that was taken in the previous lecture. For College Algebra a few of the topics presented I believed that I had a good enough understanding and knew the topic beforehand that I didn’t review the notes, however for my other classes I do review the notes but only briefly. During each lecture the behavior I always I have had has been focused
This will be a perfect way to make them visual and understand the concept of math. The students can create a real world activity in their room. Let the students think and bring out their own knowledge that they have inside to learn what the teacher is
My Math Journey” are the portfolio making and journal and reflection writing. The similarity with portfolio is the collection of assessment result, the materials utilized and the reflection writing. This assessment methodology is utilized in the topic “Demonstration Teaching and Portfolio Making” in the Mathematics subject Seminar in Problem Solving. The students
