The mathematical me is somebody who likes to work on project and complete problems on my own. I dont mind people helping me as long as they help me when in a group so that i dont have to do all the work.....

the mathematical toonz likes to work alone and think about numbers on the train when he is bored he also likes to sit around and help people out with math

I am some what, when i really put my mind to understand the work i can do it.Also when i get help from others and there point of view.

mathematical me is someone who likes to work hard and ask questions until i get that certain concept.It's to focus and work in groups to put our ideas together and work together.

The Mathematical Kari is someone who likes to work with others and talk through the math. Mathematical Kari pays attention to details to make sure she doesn't make silly mistakes. I also enjoy helping others and love when students have that "aha! moment" and fully understand the concepts. I try to take every angle into consideration and make sure I am thinking about all options when figuring out saving, investment, money issues. Mathematical Kari is one side of me, there is also the Capoeira Kari, Teacher Kari, Friend Kari, etc. Who is the Mathematical You?!

Describe your relationship to mathematics.
KayNaz said...
Mathematics and I are cool peoples. I don't like it much, but it likes me. No matter how much older I get or what school I end up in, it just seems to follow me around >:( I appreciate it though.. I guess. Math and I have become deeper throughout the last few years especially now that I am taking AP Calculus. I guess I like it more but I am still frustrated at times.
January 22, 2010 10:32 AM
Kari said...
Mathematics and I have always had a great relationship. As a child I used to do math problems for fun, yes I've always been a nerd. I enjoy talking about mathematics with others, I don't like doing math by myself. I struggled with math in college but with the help of a study group I was more successful. I love teaching math because mathematics is often a gatekeeper to higher education. I love helping my students be proud of themselves and gain confidence in their ability as mathematicians. I look forward to reading student comments and input about mathematics teaching and learning.

math is very interesting. As a child in Ghana I was intimatiated by math. I struggled with math especially in first grade so each time i got home form school my mom would teach me the times table or make me solve problems. My biggest challenge was division. We did not like each other. I always questioned why was math so important. when I moved to New York at the age of ten I started seeing the siginfience and that math is some how our unviresal language.

Math and myself have also been an amazing match. I am not sure if it is actually the challenge it provides or the fun it gives but i just love math. I always talked about math to my family, friends, peers at school, etc. I just love math.

math and i have always had a love hate relationship we get along great when it comes to money but not really anything els i try really hard but sometime i feel like its no use because i still cant get.when i do get something its amazing and i feel so good

Anysanti said...
Math and I never got along. Me and numbers do not function. They make me sick to my stomach, all that thinking and all that adding and subtraction, all the different equations, math just is just not for me.The caree path that I am going to take up in college will include using ALOT OF MATH. eww !!

When i was younger i loved math but now when i see it, it's like ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol. I've grown to really not like math but i know i have to do it to get out of high school so for now i just have to deal with it.... unfortunatley..... =(
January 14, 2010 10:15 AM
chrisandra01 said...
math and i are friends when it actually feels like it !
i only like math when i actually understand. After me being upset and all when i actually do understand math im happy =]
i passed my math pba! and thank god for that.... i am so not excited for college math though -_-

math and i have always had a ok relationship, math isnt my favorite subject but i am good at it. if i dont get the math then i get very frustrated. but when i do get the math i like it
January 14, 2010 10:18 AM
weslley said...
To be honest math and I never connected. Although I understood concepts and the basis of math through my years in school, it was never my strongest subject. At times I do enjoy the challenges I face with math problems as I am a person that takes challenges head on. ..BUT after highschool i dont want to know anything else about math
January 14, 2010 10:19 AM
JulianSP said...
I have struggled mightily with mathematics my whole academic carer and I cannot wait to graduate high school and not have to deal with it anymore in college. I am just not very good with numbers and the whole subject matter is very confusing for me. I have developed a strong distaste as well as a deep misunderstanding on arithmetic. Math has plagued my grades and ruined my average since I can remember.

Math is my favorite subject it is very fun and interesting. Sometimes i struggle with some of the challenging problem but then i get the hang of it after doing a couple of problems :)

math is kind of hard when you don't know the concepts, but the mathematical me, would be numbering things i like skills i have and not trying to understand complicated integers and negatives, equations and rules, so hey whats the mathematical you?

math and i havent always gotten along , but i know thats its somthing i have to deal with so i try to get along with it at times . sometimes depeneding on what am getting out of it , but i can say thta as time go by we've gotten cool .

Since the first day I ever stepped foot in a math class, I've always disliked math a lot. Every time I went to summer school in elementary/middle school, it was for math. But I guess I've been kind of forced to deal with it. Hopefully it'll get better...blah.

well personally ! i have a disabity with math because its really hard for me to u stay focused and understand the problems.Math for me is a very hard subject its never been my favorite subject and out of all subjects in high school math is the only one that doesn't help me keep my gpa in shape.
January 15, 2010 11:17 AM

Me and math don't get alone as well sometimes, like i can get one thing about math then sometimes the next thing i don't even understand what there talking about. Math has soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
many step it can get to me.
p.s math is o.k

What do you think about Performance Based Assessment? www.performanceassessment.org
Kim R said...
As a senior I am still not use presenting, my nerves still get the best of me but this experience will surly help me through my years in college as well as the preparation. This is definitely a difficult task but in the progress, this alone will help you with organization as well as your habits of mind.
January 14, 2010 8:32 AM
Anysanti said...
(whoa)PBA's are great, I mean I hate preparing for them but honestly they are good for when we get to college or even our caree jobs some people will have to present during a meeting, and since we been doing pba's since 9th grade we are going to ACE them presentations.
January 14, 2010 10:16 AM
Denisse Lourido said...
i think PBA's are ok, atleast we dont have to take a million regents like all other schools do. i hate preparing for them but it is good to prepare you for college because im college sometimes you have to make a speech .
January 14, 2010 10:26 AM
chrisandra01 said...
ahh i hate talking infront of a group of people ! lol, i hate the spotlight when having to teach others, but i know its good practice for college presentations which i think its great. i must say preparing for them is the worst! which i must say its very STRESSFUL!. but after you done and you get that passing grade i must say you very proud of yourself in the end =]
January 14, 2010 10:27 AM
JulianSP said...
It is a good way to gauge how much a student learned from the lesson and to also help prepare presenting in front of a committee.
January 14, 2010 10:27 AM
weslley said...
PBA's ...I feel this is way better than taking so many regents and midterms. I prefer presenting my pba's over taking regents because it gives me a chance to really explain things, I may get the answer wrong but I'll still be able to show my understanding of the math I've learned.
January 14, 2010 10:30 AM
maritza said...
in one way pba are great because you present what chu learn the whole semester and the other way is bad because it make you work hard
January 14, 2010 10:36 AM
Carla said...
I feel that sometimes they are challenging, but i must say that they are good preparation for college
January 14, 2010 10:36 AM

I strongly feel that PBA's are connected with the things you'd have to do in the real world, like public speaking and oratory, preparing and researching facts and revisiting the past to understand the present a lot better.
January 14, 2010 12:23 PM
Degora said...
O M G, it was a little horrid. Especially since I didn't have a voice and it was hard to explain long calculations and how to do problems and also find the answers. SO it was stressful, the actually doing of the problem was fun though!
January 15, 2010 8:18 AM
IRI x3 said...
PBA's are really stressful but once you get used to them its not so bad. You need to be able to know how to use your time wisely and be as organized as possible. Although I am a senior, I still get very nervous and anxious before I present. I think its a good experience though and they prepare you for college.
January 15, 2010 8:31 AM
Alex said...
Its a great way to substitute the regents exams because it prepares us better for later on in life and we can get a lot of help from the teachers in our preparations.
January 15, 2010 8:46 AM
JMPx3 said...
PBAs can be really stressful. in order to be successful, you HAVE to meet all deadlines. if you miss one, it can become really stressful and overwhelming but the most important thing we need in the PBA process is being able to manage our time correctly and be ORGANIZED!... i like PBAs for the simply fact that it's my only opportunity to prove to not only myself but to others, all that i have learned in only one semester..
January 15, 2010 8:53 AM
NayNay17 said...

i think pba is a good way to how our underdtanding , rather then sitting down and doing a 3 hour test .also its very stresssful but once your done and pass it feels great
January 15, 2010 11:07 AM
Peter D said...
I think that pba's are a very necessary towards the learning way in vanguard, showing your progressive knowledge that you have been learning.
January 15, 2010 11:35 AM
Takeia said...
i actually think that PBA is a great way to show how u have grown as a person instead if taking a test that proves your intelligence. i can very overwhelming when you have a question on the test that you have never studied before but you can never go wrong on what you did in the class room and you can show how u built up all this work after so many years and how it maybe connected.
January 19, 2010 9:17 AM

I believe it is a good way of judging your understanding based on a topic.
January 22, 2010 9:15 AM
KayNaz said...
I'm totally not a test taker so I have to say that I love PBA's. The process of preparing for them is annoying but once it's over with it's a big relief. I love that we have this option because we get comforable with public speaking, and the subject in general.
