Throughout
the high school years every individual has their own opinion to what they like
and dislike in school. These opinions often change throughout the time because
of a teacher, strengths and weaknesses. Mathematics is an essential part of
every high school student’s education. Every student learns fundamentals in
math that will carry with them through life. As a math student, I feel math has
taught me not only about numbers, but also it has taught me thinking skills and
problem solving that will take me further than just math class. There are times
in which you have to decide which path you will take after high school.
From
the beginning of math in grade 1 to, for some the last math class in high
school, each person goes through the stages of struggles and success. For a
student like me, math was always a struggle. I used to say, “I hate math”, this
statement made me think about how every concept requires special attention and
focus. In high school each student discovers what practice really means,
studying hard, completing all homework assignment and paying attention in
class. For high school students these are hard, while you are surrounded by
some of your best friends. Concentration is a skill that I will come out of
high school math with. The dedication that this class requires teaches every
student concentration. The concentration on this one course will help high
school students pursue their dreams while taking other courses to achieve this.
Each problem that math students need to solve involves steps. The concept of
problem solving taught in high school will initiate smarter ways in which you
can solve your problem.
Another
major influence on a high school student’s math education is the teacher. A
teacher is crucial to a student’s success. The ideal teacher knows several ways
to explain a certain concept. In high school I never had a teacher that I could
understand their teaching method. Becoming involved in the lesson teaches
students to be more comfortable to be verbal during class. By doing this, it
gives math students communication skills in front of others. Also it helps the
students learn the idea of what is being taught by putting what you know
towards the new problem. So the gist is the good teacher plays an important
role why I am into math even until now.
