The Learner
Whenever learning about this project for SMED 310, I wanted to pick out a learner who I knew had a low self-concept and low self-efficacy in their mathematics ability. After thinking back over the years, I remembered a friend I had in high school who had struggled with their math courses. Matthew Embry, a freshman at Western Kentucky University, is looking to major in Sports Management. Whenever I was a senior in high school, we played on the same sports team. Throughout my senior year, I helped him with his Algebra 1 class. When I would help him after a practice, I could tell he struggled with the material.

Lucky was a very interesting film, one of my favorites so far, this semester. Sitting in the audience and hearing all the laughs and how full the theater was proved it. Lucky reminded me so much of my grandpa in an oddly manner, it was as if I was hearing my grandpa but the oddness was that my grandpa doesnâ€™t speak English. I think what made me have more of that connection to my grandpa was that in Mexico my grandpa lived in the outside of the small town. And he two was isolated and away from everyone, he would do the same routine every day until his last day just like Lucky. I think that something the director and writer did an excellent job at was that they added the Mexican regional music and some conversations in Spanish, that

My Philosophy of Mathematics Teaching and Learning
1307 Words | 3 Pages
As a secondary subject, society often views mathematics a critical subject for students to learn in order to be successful. Often times, mathematics serves as a gatekeeper for higher learning and certain specific careers. Since the times of Plato, “mathematics was virtually the first thing everyone has to learn…common to all arts, science, and forms of thought” (Stinson, 2004). Plato argued that all students should learn arithmetic; the advanced mathematics was reserved for those that would serve as the “philosopher guardians” of the city (Stinson, 2004). By the 1900s in the United States, mathematics found itself as a cornerstone of curriculum for students. National reports throughout the 20th Century solidified the importance of mathematics in the success of our nation and its students (Stinson, 2004). As a mathematics teacher, my role to educate all students in mathematics is an important one. My personal philosophy of mathematics education – including the optimal learning environment and best practices teaching strategies – motivates my teaching strategies in my personal classroom.

Understanding and being able to function mathematically is a fundamental building block of a well-rounded education. However, disabilities related to math and numbers can hinder students who are affected. Courses such as algebra provide an opportunity for students to build confidence in their abilities and may lead to jobs with greater financial benefit. For these reasons, it is important to overcome or workaround difficulties and develop a strong knowledge of mathematics for success in school and in life.
