physics and how everyday things work. I was new in high school, so I didn’t get any guidance about what classes were good for me. I slowly learned. When I was placed in Algebra I during my freshman year, I knew I could challenge myself more than I had before. As a result, I took Algebra I and Geometry my freshman year, and I took Algebra II and Pre-Calculus my sophomore year. I can proudly say I am

and theorized about, but couldn't be mathematically proven or explained. One can see the importance of more research in order to further explain what was happening around us every day. The philosophers Euclid, Archimedes, and Pythagoras invented algebra and geometry, but none of them could unify the different mathematic studies. That’s where Newton came in and said “Step aside, I got this”. “One may ask “how does one invent a new form of mathematics” this answer is quite simple; Isaac Newton forced

Worldview Final In John, Jesus says, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (14:6 NIV). He is telling Thomas that because he knows him (Jesus) that he knows the way to his Father. In Christianity, Jesus is the source of all truth. I believe that everyone has their own version of the truth. Just as Christian’s have their belief, modernists have their own version as do postmodernists have their own. I however don’t have a strong biblical background

The Common Core State Standards Initiative. Those are the five words that changed the world of learning in today’s era. But what is Common Core and what makes this education curriculum so common? The Common Core State Standards Initiative is an effort to establish a common set of standards for all public schools in all states. For example, “by the end of first grade, all kids should be able to count to X, add, multiply, divide, know fractions and be able to read a chapter book” (BladdyK). Besides

on Greek and Roman models. By the 12th Century, though, Europe, and particularly Italy, was beginning to trade with the East, and Eastern knowledge gradually began to spread to the West. Robert of Chester translated Al-Khwarizmi's important book on algebra into Latin in the 12th Century, and the complete text of Euclid's “Elements” was translated in various

running around the house with our fists in the air and a cape zooming through our backs. Nowadays, all we have our noses stuck on are the not-so-thrilling sagas of Captain Algebra on Planet Geometry, Fantastic Physics and Heinous History, much to our dismay. I never looked forward to closing in on my childhood and waking up to Algebra class in my first year of high school, nor did I find excitement in the then 25-year old Mr. Ongleo who came to class everyday to blab about my least-liked subject ever

oday, the term "applied mathematics" is used in a broader sense. It includes the classical areas noted above as well as other areas that have become increasingly important in applications. Even fields such as number theory that are part of pure mathematics are now important in applications (such as cryptography), though they are not generally considered to be part of the field of applied mathematics per se. Sometimes, the term "applicable mathematics" is used to distinguish between the traditional

to activities that stimulate the brain at that level are minimal. The three-month vacation acts as an eraser. This is particularly apparent in classes that build on each other such as algebra. A student may do well in their Algebra I course, however when they return from summer break they struggle in their Algebra II course due to memory loss. A study on a mathematics course supports this. Karen Higgins studied three classes of students taking mathematics. Her findings state, “Compared with the students

really nice people. After signing in you will go to room 258 at 10:40, a teacher will be in the classroom. You will do this routine every day you are there. The lesson: The teachers preplan lessons for all of the Algebra students (meaning they have a topic already set to teach the Algebra students (which is my/your job)). I do not know the topic to teach until the day of class. Don’t freak out its not as bad as it sounds. Once you get the topic the students will work on it for two days. After you
