...6th X’Zorriyah Golston What are your plans after graduating from high school and how will knowing math help me in what I plan to accomplish in life? My plans after high school are to go to college, right? That’s what everyone says. After high school I honestly do plan to attend college. I have no other special talents or anything in that manner so I feel this is the only way I’ll be able to make my way unto success. My college choice is Northwestern State University where I plan to pursue a major in Radiology. I feel knowing math will help me to accomplish my career in Radiology in a few ways. Of course you need math to count money, add up bills, household supplies and just daily when you trying to decide which is a better...

It was just some of the people easily gave up on this subject. There was never been a winner on those who gave up. If you want to learn you must work for it. If you want to understand do some effort. I consider myself as a pessimistic person. I hate facing problems because I think I cannot solved it alone. I was so dependent with other persons most especially my bestfriend since my mother was gone and maybe that’s the reason why I don’t love math but now I’ve realize that life is just like a unsolved problem.

...Math is as big a part of life as life is a part of math. From the time most of us start learning numbers and simple math, we usually ask two questions. First, “why do I have to learn this? “, and second,” when will I ever need to use math in real life? “. The truth of the matter is, we use math everyday whether we realize it or not. Math is used in one form or another hundreds of times a day in everything from the simplest chore we perform to the most difficult tasks we can think of. Mastering the skill of math, even simple math, can enable one to progress throughout life with much less stress and confusion. Once we learn numbers and simple math, it becomes like second nature to incorporate mathematics into our day. Consider the first thing most people do in the morning upon waking. For most of us, that involves looking at the clock to see what time it is. Therefore, numbers are one of the first things seen and automatically, without thinking about math, we calculate how much time we have before we have to be somewhere. Perhaps one only thinks of how long they slept? Regardless, math has usually been applied momentarily following waking from being asleep. Once awake, think of the math equations most of us perform throughout the day. The amount of addition and subtraction as well as multiplying and dividing ones time allotment for the day is substantial. (Math in Everyday Use, 2012) The math calculations performed by most in relation to time in the course of a day is just...

...Jasmine Petersen Dr. Abdeljabbar MAT 1111 April 23, 2014 Algebra is one of the most important subjects someone can learn. It is a subject that transfers into daily life. A lot of people do not realize that they are using algebra. Algebra can be anything from calculating the amount of money you’ve spent on your grocery shopping, designing structural plans for a building, and keeping track of the calories you have in your diet. Our professor told us that in every subject, we use math. My major is chemistry and mathematics is used widely in chemistry as well as all other sciences. Mathematical calculations are absolutely necessary to explore important concepts in chemistry. You’ll need to convert things from one unit to another. For example, you need to convert 12 inches to feet. Also, we use simple arithmetic to balance equations. A lot of things I’ve had learned from this course and one of them was that we use Math for everyday life. I’ve also learned many ways how to solve equations such as linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic equations. All the material that we did learn was all easy to learn and understand. I believe that the instructor did a good job explaining on how to solve problems. If my friend was asking me how to determine the differences between the equation of the ellipse and the equation of the hyperbola, I would first give he or she the definition of the two words ellipse and hyperbola. An ellipse is a set of all points in a plane such that the sum...

...The Influence of Mathematics on Daily Social Activities MTH/110 March 2, 2015 The Influence of Mathematics Society is an important concept in which stands the intellectual development of mathematics and science. Today, in society, mathematics makes extraordinary demands and so to the world of mathematicians and scientists. The purpose of the report is to identify the influence and effects of mathematics in society. It includes some history of math and its major demands and capabilities that come with the material and mathematicians. Math Background People have believed in mathematics and the discipline that comes with it since centuries ago, some may like, and some may not. Some people used to worship mathematics and believe in it for living like Aryabatta and Bhaskara. Back to the 4th century, Aristotle and Plato had already an idea of the existence of mathematics in their mind and the external world; also he argued about a positive effect on individuals (Dossey). In the middle ages, mathematicians were coming out and at one point competing without knowing in discovering new techniques. Archimedes had one of the greatest impacts on its work in mathematics but he was known later in the 16th century when Federico Commandino in 1558 translation into Latin most of his printing texts and spread it out with other mathematicians and physics of the time, that includes Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei (Toomer, 2014). Many other mathematicians...

...on tests but a good education is hard to define.” The author shares some personal reflections about his wife Alisa, as an illustration in building a foundation to help provide the answer to the question, what does it mean to be well-educated. Mr. Kohn outlines his wife’s educational background, her current employment, and certain perceived deficiencies in her education. The author’s conclusions are markedly different than my own, inasmuch as I am convinced that to be well educated means to possess a balanced education that exhibits orthodox academic achievement, and practical knowledge that contributes to the fulfillment and enjoyment of daily life. The author shares: When I met Alisa, she was at Harvard, putting the finishing touches on her doctoral dissertation in anthropology. A year later, having spent her entire life in school, she decided to…apply to medical school. Today she is a practicing physician…She will, however, freeze up if you ask her what eight times seven is because she never learned the multiplication table. And forget about grammar (“Me and him went over her house...

...How I use Math in everyday Life DeVry University Math-032 October 9, 2012 How I use Math in Everyday Life Math is everywhere you go. It is at the store when you go groceries shopping, when you go out for dinner, when you’re at work, and even when you’re asleep. We are always using some kind of fraction throughout the day. I deal with numbers just about everywhere I go. Math has always been on my vocabulary since I was young. Coming from a house of five, I deal with math every single day. I have to use math for my bills, the rent, groceries, gas, things that are important in the house. Now that I completed eleven and half years in the united Stated Marine Corps, I deal with a tremendous budget in my house. I know that things are not the same because I don’t have a steady income coming in I have to keep track of our expenses and cut back on a lot of unimportant expenses. No matter what we do whether it’s at work, home, or out in town, numbers will always be a factor. Math will be involved and that’s the good think about life. Most people need a solid understanding for financial success and math is the answer. (Huebsch, 2009) In life, you will always have that percent that only need to learn numbers to a certain point. We engage numbers at a very young age. No one really knows how long numbers have been around for. Most people understand the concept of numbers, equations, and the use of daily concepts. (Melayu, 2009) I could say that Im that percentage in my...

...maybe more little ones in a classroom. I had never cared how much money I would make teaching. As a mother, I learned to have a lot of patience even though I only had two of my own. I just wanted to be that person that inspired a student become someone in life. 2003 Teacher of the Year Helen Elizabeth Rogers (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2014) stated “I believe the teacher must embrace the whole child in caring and positive manner…” I have always wanted to be like my first grade teacher. She made an ever lasting impression in my life. She was a very dedicated and compassionate person. I will never forget that she went to my house every day to take me my homework and daily school work since I was not allowed to go to school when I had the chicken pox. Not only did she drop off my school work, she also went over the new material. When I was allowed to return to school, I was not behind in any of the courses. At first, I wanted to teach 4th or 5th grade students. But in talking to my Algebra high school teacher, my decision changed to become a math teacher. I have always loved math and with the growth of math teacher shortages I decided to teach middle school math with the intention to one day becoming a high school math teacher. I wanted to be able to prepare those students for their next chapter in their lives just as 2009 Teacher of the Year Anthony J. Mullen (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2014) stated “A teacher can receive no greater reward than the knowledge...

... October 3, 2014! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Throughout my life I have learned to set high goals, reach for them, and achieve them. Attaining a goal is often a difficult process, but it wouldn't be a goal if it were easy. It is very important to me to be successful and to never settle for less than my full potential. I don't want to be average in anything that I do, but I wish to stand out as a person who works hard and doesn't give up.! ! ! ! My first goal is to attend class everyday. The first thing I will do is go to bed every night at a decent time. That way, I can be up in the morning on time and be prepared for class. I will also make sure I get to the bus stop in a timely matter each day, that way I will always get to my class on time. By succeeding in this objective, I won’t miss any valuable information and I will not arrive very tired or half asleep. ! ! ! ! Once I succeed, I must also hand in and complete my daily assignments. The first thing I will do each day is write assigned homework in my daily planner. That way I will remember what my assignments are at home. I will also set a designated time each night to do my homework. That way I will never forget to get it done. As a reward, I’ll become more organized and I won't lose any points for late assignments.! ! ! ! Finally, my personal goal is to study a little harder for my math tests. I usually study for my math tests the night before the exam. What I should be doing is studying for...

...4CL Villafania, Ian Christian S. SECTION: Copenhagen Learnings and experiences in Math 1 In my years studying math I have realized that math is essential for life. Having this said, it is quite obvious that math could easily be as old as humanity itself. The topic that I like the best is when our instructor teaches about the quadratic equation it is difficult but I try and pursue to understand even though it’s so difficult. I always study about this topic because I really don’t know how to solve it that’s why I research something about things and I also talk to our instructor and ask some questions about the topic that I don’t understand. I did it because I really want to learn and I want to pass this subject. I like...

...Galloway Math 601 Number Systems Research Paper The first and most important question I am going to ask is, is math important and why. Math, it's everywhere. You just can't avoid it; no matter how hard you try. We use math when we're trying to figure out how much fertilizer is needed for fields of corn, onions, or cotton. We use math when we want to bake two-dozen of those mouth-watering chocolate chip cookies that our children will devour as soon as they come barreling through the door. What do we use when we need to know how much money is in our checking account? You've got it, math! Just try to build that extra room without using math. It can't be done. Mathematics is one of the most important subjects that provide several vital skills to the learners. Some of the skills that people get from math include: the ability to identify and analyze patterns, logic and critical thinking skills, ability to see relationships and problem solving skills. Math is important because it allows people to perform complex calculations for everyday purposes using a set formula or mathematical procedure. Math allows for precise calculations and measurements for almost everything we do! Math is so important because it allows us to do everyday things with ease. Rounding, estimating, fractions and percentages are just a few of the ways we use math in our everyday life. So math is important as it is found in our daily lives every day. With math being important in our daily lives it...

...English 1 May 2012 High School Education Teens on a Daily Basis “Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges,” stated Joyce Myers. Teachers have a huge impact on every student they teach. Being a teacher, you have to posses the life skills of patience, sense of humor, organization, trustworthiness, and responsibility. Not only does a teacher teach academic lessons, they prepare students for life after graduation by teaching them life skills needed in order to succeed in college and/or enter the job market (“High School Teachers”). Responsibility: the state or fact of being responsible. High School teachers have numerous responsibilities, such as creating lesson plans, grading tests, and making sure the appropriate academic lesson is taught each and every day. High school teachers have some responsibilities that teachers at a lower level do not necessarily have. High school educators have the responsibility of helping each and every one of their students prepare educationally for post high school higher education and/or the work force (“High School Teachers”). When entering into the Educational field, one will have a plethora of decisions to make, such as, what grade or age and what subject one would like to teach. Adding to the decisions is if one would like to work at a private or public school. Deciding whether to work at a private or public school is a big decision because public school math teachers must have completed a bachelor's degree program...

...completed sections in Math, Reading and Writing in My Foundations Lab. I completed assignments in Math, Reading and Writing sections of My Foundations Lab. I started off by first doing the Reading section of the assignment first. I chose this section first since I thought it would be my stronger section. I then went on to the writing section and then last did the math section since I thought this would be my toughest section. I really enjoyed completing these assignments in the My Foundations Lab. It gave me a sense of where I was and what I needed to work on and really was a big refresher for me. I like the process it takes of letting you complete the work then identifying your weak spots then creating additional work to focus on your weak areas. My strengths were in the reading section of the course and my weakness was in the writing section. I was really surprised by the results. I thought that the math section would be my weak point. I am planning on retaking the writing section of this course to try and better myself and also complete the learning path modules. I think by doing this it will make me a stronger writer and help me with my career. I might have gotten distracted during that section and want to retry. For the Learning Path Modules I completed Writing Module: Basic Grammar. I chose this module since I had done so poorly in this section. I always remember my math teacher telling our class that we needed to take math serious because you will...
