What were your feeling, and why? My first memory of being in a testing situation is in high school. It was finals and I needed to pass this one course to graduate. It was a course that I detested, and I was horrible at it. This course was Trigonometry. I am not good in math period, but this course was a requirement. I felt that I was going to fail the course, and it was going to be a setback. It was a depressing feeling. 3. What make a test “good” and “bad” from your perspective

Calculus is the mathematical study of change,[1] in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of operations and their application to solving equations. It has two major branches, differential calculus (concerning rates of change and slopes of curves), and integral calculus (concerning accumulation of quantities and the areas under and between curves); these two branches are related to each other by the fundamental theorem of calculus. Both branches make use of the

Every school has specific graduation requirements. These minimum class requirements may not be enough to prepare your teen for either of these tests or for college. When possible, have your teen take math courses such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Taking upper level English classes, such as A.P. English, will also help your teen be better prepared for either the SAT or ACT test. Your teen should take the most challenging high school courses the student can handle. For some students, this

From 476 B.C.E., Islamics had been brewing up a culture that would greatly impact the modern world today. How they were able to do so relied greatly on their curiosity of subjects like math, science and literature, as well as their dying love for knowledge. These curiosities led to some of the greatest and wide spread inventions still being used today, like the math we are taught, our medical practices, literature and architecture. Islam's achievements are nothing shy of brilliant, as in today's

Century, they were taught basics, such as math, reading and writing. Today, things are more complex. Students are taught math, reading, writing, science, social studies and some students even go to more advance classes, like physics, geometry and trigonometry. But are they really getting a good education? Are they learning things that will help them in life? Is it just a memory game, so they can pass the state test to prove that their teachers are teaching

similarly, starts with telling stories, and even though that is not what the subject is really about, it offers a simple view into it. By contrast, math has almost nothing similar. It does not make sense for the students to use the formula of trigonometry to find the height of a tree or a building. In short, math does really make no significant understanding of what is being taught that the students get nothing from spending hours learning it in class. Secondly, it is also a fundamental principle
