GNED 103 Week 1 Discussion | Assignment Help | Embry Riddle
Module 1 - Discussion:
Math Reflections
Reflect
Many students (and non-students) dislike
thinking about or doing math and truly loathe taking a formal math class. Even
if you always liked math in school or feel comfortable doing calculations for
work or personal decision-making, you have probably not made much time to
consider why you
like/dislike math.
Describe
For this post create a brief mathematical autobiography
highlighting your lifetime experiences with math – in school, at work, and in
everyday life. Use the Learning Outcomes that are listed in the syllabus to
connect your memories to this class.
Some things to consider writing about:
·
Your favorite math teacher and what impressed you about his/her
math class
Example: “Mrs.
_____ made geometry fun by _______.”
·
A bad experience in an early math class that influenced your
dislike of math
Example: “I
was always the slowest when we had races with number facts.”
·
Math that you use (even if a computer or calculator does the
work) in your job
Example:
“I have to report the percentage of ______ to my boss every week.”
·
Making personal decisions based on math
Example: “The
grocery store calculates the price per unit to help me choose.”
Try not to use these particular examples unless they are merely
a springboard for additional reflections.
Your initial post should
be at least 200 words and submitted by the end of the first week of
this module. In the second week, read your classmates’ posts and reply to at
least two with observations that add to a conversation about the course topics
and previous exposure to them. You must make your initial post before you can
see the posts of your classmates.
