PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
I
love math and I honestly believe that everyone is capable of being successful
in math. Math should never be something to be afraid of or feel unsuccessful
doing. I will try my hardest to help
every student who works hard and is motivated to do well and succeed. My personal goal is to provide every student
with the skills and knowledge to make math their favorite subject.
INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS FOR
ALGEBRA and PRE-ALGEBRA
Each
topic will be explored with in-class activities, in-class problem solving,
homework, and vocabulary words. There
will be review sheets given before each quiz and test. In addition there will be group activities
and group review of notes. Notes will be
graded for completeness and content. The
students will have the opportunity to write problems that will be included on
the review sheets. It is the goal of the
instructor that all of these components will provide the students with a
thorough understanding of the concepts being taught. I feel that math is a subject that needs to
be practiced everyday. It is important
that the concepts that are taught in class be practiced, this is why there is
greater weight for class work and homework then there is to quizzes and exams.
