Anyone can be a math genius. An individual that puts in all their hard work and effort could acquire the same abilities as someone who is “naturally good” at math. I have a growth mindset. Although I may not be a mathematical genius, I believe I can excel to a great extent if I strive to expand my knowledge. In order to achieve my goal of expanding my knowledge and remembering everything I learn, hard work and focus would need to be put in. Hard work means effort, persistence, endurance, focus, and commitment. This is shown a lot in those who take a bit more practice and explanation to understand a concept. It is also shown in those who make huge progress throughout the year. I understand that math doesn’t come easily to everyone, but those …show more content…
If teachers wanted students to use the brain of others to get the answer, there wouldn’t be such thing as cheating. Despite the fact that sometimes the homework feels like unnecessary practice, it is meant to be beneficial. Sometimes the skill that I am working on in class does not get drilled into my mind unless I work on a couple problems. Especially when I feel completely lost after a lesson, the homework helps me a lot. It is also a useful reference when preparing for an upcoming test. I score well on tests when I go over some homework problems and look over my notes. If there are study guides, then I also use that as a studying tool. I try to study a lot for the tests so that I’m prepared and won’t have the need to feel too nervous. My worst experiences in math would probably be the times I didn’t study much for the test. I had a lot of anxiety, especially when getting my test score back. Thankfully, I never truly failed a math test because I understood the criteria that was going to be on the test. With a growth mindset of believing that any level of math can be reached through hard work, I pushed myself to learn more and perform to the best of my abilities which led me to more success and the opportunity to be in a math class of higher
Throughout elementary and middle school, I was usually placed in upper level reading and writing classes and lower level math classes. I never really thought very much about why that might be. I assumed I was naturally good at language arts so I excelled in it, and I assumed that my brain wasn’t mathematically inclined so I just didn’t do as well in that area. However, after revisiting my past experiences with math and my previous approaches to learning, I’ve come to the conclusion that after coming in contact with any sort of roadblock or failure, I gave up. Now I consider myself a believer in the incremental model of intelligence, because it’s been my experience that when I believe that I have room to grow I work harder and I improve. Yes, I still believe that to a degree some people are more inclined to do better at math than others, but succeeding in any subject takes hard work in and out of the classroom, not just natural
Adultery, in almost any society is viewed in a negative manner that results in specific penalties in relation to the culture in which it is committed. In The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the punishments in accordance with adultery in a Puritan Society are portrayed in a less-accurate, fictional context. However, if the character of Hester Prynne, or any puritan woman, was placed in Iran, her consequences for the sin would differ. In both a 17th century Puritan society in Massachusetts and in Iran, the act of adultery has varied, yet firm consequences meant to penalize women who commit the offense.
Test taking is one of the most important things to have good skills at. Test usually have a significant effect on your grade. The more you are used to test and are prepared for different types of test, the better your grade will be. I know that when I take test, I get vary nervous and I cant concentrate, but when I have the feeling of being prepared for the test, I notice that I am not so nervous when I come to take it. You should always find time to improve your test taking methods, personally I try to devote one whole hour the night before a big test so I can remember a lot the next day. In school you will have various test that some will be easy and some will be vary difficult, you should always be mentally prepared to take whatever test they give you.
I noticed from all the capable people I know that their skills were acquired through hard work, their passion for what they do, and years of experience in their trade or profession. I can 't think of anyone who is born with skills. If you come across people who achieved certain results due to natural ability than hard work, there 's a good chance that hard work has been invested. For example, when I was in school, there were students who seem to breeze through tests and get great results. What a lot of people don 't know is that behind the great results were extra hours spent on self-studying and hours of private tuition that their parents put them through. Another example: when I worked in a research firm, there were people who stood out above others. These were the same people who invested extra time to get their skills right.
Over the course of these past few weeks we have learned all sorts of math that we will utilize in our everyday lives. They have all been very interesting; my favorite subjects were learning about how voting works and how to calculate owning a home. For our final math project in our math modeling class, we had to choose a topic that interested us yet had something to do with mathematics. For this presentation, I decided to research the history of math and art and how the two have been used together to create amazing artwork.
Once I started getting better in math I started getting better in other subjects. I think my hard work was shown because when I went to River Bend I was placed in classes with people I considered smart. The classes were a bit challenging but I did well. The second year I was at River Bend I moved up even farther in my academics and then I was the “smart” person. People would come to me if they had questions, and I liked being the one to help them.
As teachers we plan our lessons and think to ourselves, "my students are going to love this lesson and will be able to understand what I am teaching", but sometimes that isn 't the case. You may plan a lesson in hopes that your students understand but it doesn 't go as planned. Every student learns differently and thinks differently and because of this we, as teachers must learn to differentiate our lessons. This may require us to change the way we deliver our lesson, change the activities for our lessons or even change the wording of our material so students understand. In this paper, I will be differentiating a lesson plan based on student readiness, student interest and student learning profile for content, process, and product.
It is a known fact that technology that is developed in motor sports will eventually trickle down to the automotive industry. However for a long time this has been happening with gas powered technology and safety innovations. Recently, there has been a startup of a new form of motorsports that focuses on Earth’s environmental status. Formula E is one of the ways to spread social and political awareness and interest in electric vehicles. To make the car a sustainable and innovative platform. The goal of this research paper is to answer the following questions: how fast will the technology trickle down from motorsport to everyday life, are these efforts worth it, will Formula E make electric cars more popular around the world, how much do electric
Genius is genetic, but normal people can still develop their minds to think close to the way a genius thinks. For example, a scientist conducted a study focusing reproductive thinking. In his article, “The Difference Between the Way a Genius Thinks and the Way an Average Person Thinks,” Michael Michalko
‘Oh gosh!’ I thought on the third day of school, I was totally exhausted of homework. Well to most of the people, this a major deja vu, that attended middle school. So from that day and onward I ‘started’ to do all my homework, whether I wanted to do it or not.. There are a couple of important logical explanations why homework is an important part of all ‘middle schoolers’ lives.The concept of homework is that is is supposed to help you have a better understanding of what you learned at school and keep the content (that you learned in school) fresh in your mind. The other important thing about homework is that it directly reflects on your grade; which is important for success in school.
What is math? If you had asked me that question at the beginning of the semester, then my answer would have been something like: “math is about numbers, letters, and equations.” Now, however, thirteen weeks later, I have come to realize a new definition of what math is. Math includes numbers, letters, and equations, but it is also so much more than that—math is a way of thinking, a method of solving problems and explaining arguments, a foundation upon which modern society is built, a structure that nature is patterned by…and math is everywhere.
To the future researchers, using this study it would be helpful for them to formulate new actions and information and make it as one of their sources with regard to solving a word problem.
My enthusiasm and the strongly committed teachers I have encountered in my life have attributed to my success in math and science. Prior to going onto ninth grade, my Math classes dating back from middle school were never mentally straining. Math appealed to me because in eighth grade, my math teacher, Dr. Christopher, would encourage her class by recognizing our achievements with small rewards such as candies and ice cream passes during lunch. Her actions sparked my interest in math. I have a natural regard for math and science. By breaking down math problems step by step, I can better understand them. ...
Logic is defined as the science which studies the formal processes in thinking and reasoning. Lawyers have the job of navigating through the legal system to make valid arguments that are in favor of their clients. In order to be successful, lawyers must come up with a reason or set of reason(s) to persuade a judge, or a jury that an action or idea is right or wrong. These reasons are known as arguments and they require the use of logic so that they are clear and acceptable to a judge or a jury. Therefore, the study of logic is essential to the study of the law.
Devlin believes that mathematics has four faces 1) Mathematics is a way to improve thinking as problem solving. 2) Mathematics is a way of knowing. 3) Mathematics is a way to improve creative medium. 4) Mathematics is applications. (Mann, 2005). Because mathematics has very important role in our life, teaching math in basic education is as important as any other subjects. Students should study math to help them how to solve problems and meet the practical needs such as collect, count, and process the data. Mathematics, moreover, is required students to be capable of following and understanding the future. It also helps students to be able to think creativity, logically, and critically (Happy & Listyani, 2011,
