Sample Resume : My Husband And I Have Had Have Mentored ( Or Are Currently Mentoring )

Every day, mathematics is used in our lives. From playing sports or games to cooking, these activities require the use of mathematical concepts. For young children, mathematical learning opportunities are all around them. Knaus (2013) states that ‘Young children are naturally curious and eager to learn about their surroundings and the world they live in’ (pg.1). Children, young and old, and even adults, learn when they explore, play and investigate. By being actively involved, engaging in activities that are rich, meaningful, self-directed and offer problem solving opportunities, children given the chance to make connections with their world experiences (Yelland, Butler & Diezmann, 1999). As an educator of young children,

Consider the following questions for your interview and include at least two additional questions of your own:

Students engage in the discussion on a picture drawn on an interactive whiteboard (IWB) with the concept of mathematics in the form of art.

El Paso best defines itself as the truest wafer of Wild West. Its streets are so ancient that they have witnessed the existence of the likes of Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp and other lawless times. This is the same place where the unfortunate “Four Dead in Five Seconds” shootout occurred. However, these are not the events that have put El Paso in the limelight but it is the blending of culture and traditions that take place in the city. After all, it is the meeting point of New Mexico and Old Mexico. Annually the city holds the Neon Desert Music Festival and Sun City Music Festival each with over forty music artists from the dominions of soft and hard rocks, hip hop, RnB and blues and other captivating performances (Molinar). But the festival that is awaited with a lot of expectation is the Neon Desert Music Festival. So what is so captivating about the Neon Desert Music Festival that makes tens of thousands of feet pound

Identify and evaluate the key factors which influence the effectiveness and strength of a mentoring relationship.

My passion for mathematics was fixed at the age of ten, on the morning that my mathematics teacher told I would be sitting the Junior Maths Challenge, 'as practice for when you are older'. As I nervously started to answer the questions, a whole world began to open before me. I revelled in the problem solving, answering questions of a nature I had not seen before. My teachers were delighted when I emerged from the exam hungry for more. Since then I have consistently demonstrated my aptitude, achieving gold awards through to senior level, and scoring highly in the European Kangaroo.

Question #1: What education/training is required for your entry into the career you have chosen? Answer:

3) Are you interested in learning about our local trade school and what we offer our

So freshman algebra rolled around and I loved it. After two weeks in the class I was three and one half chapters ahead of the teacher. He would only assign the odd problems for homework, but I’d do them all. Geometry was even cooler. But thinking back, not one of the teachers even commended me for doing so well. My father noticed I was good at it, but I thought he had to tell me I was good; he was my father.

Mentoring for the mentor is about challenging himself to perform to greater capabilities while nurturing a mentee and stretching them to realise their full potential. Mentors counsel, tutor and guide their mentees in developing themselves.

Math for some people does not come with ease, while others could do it in their sleep. My dad was

Unlike most other math events for kids, our focus is on creating a collaborative, non-competitive atmosphere to explore the joys and power of math. We use mathematicians to guide young peoples’ experience. As you know, JRMF is named after a female mathematician, Julia Robinson, and 30-50% of our festival attendees are girls. Our goal is to reach a diverse audience to broaden society’s appreciation and support of math.

Since my school days, I have been interested in Mathematics because the challenge of thinking and the process of logic always attracted me to Mathematical problems. With my

The National Math Festival in Washington, DC was a particular success. JRMF organized one of their most popular exhibit halls. We invited four other partner organizations to contribute activities, and over 400 parents, children and professionals attended. Feedback was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. In the coming year, we plan to exhibit at the MAA/AMS

With a strong desire to challenge myself and a thirst for innovation, I started participating in Olympic Mathematics Competition at an early age -- an area full of new ideas, challenging problems. Mathematics is said to be a male-dominated area, nevertheless, I wanted to show that it is wrong. From elementary school to high school, I enjoyed my summers with intensive training on nationally renowned mathematical competitions. While the medals I earned in mathematic competitions have opened up doors for me in middle school, high school, and then college, the knowledge and experiences gained from years of unremitting dedication to the craft of problem solving has proven to be the most rewarding result. I became eager to explore my potential, and have no fear for failure. My talents and persistent effort enabled me to get full score in National Middle School Mathematics Olympiad and be the only junior high student in my school to win the first prize in National High School Olympiad. In the summer of 2011, I was selected to represent my province to take part in the Chinese Girl’s Mathematical Olympiad (CGMO). The days being with girls from all around the world revolutionized my way of thinking. I was impressed by the elegant solutions provided by those girls from other countries and their enthusiasm towards perfection. This motivated me go abroad to study with those talented minds.
