The Life of a Seventh Grader: Writing a Memoir

My name is Naima Goffney, and I am an eleven-year-old seventh grader at Julius West Middle School. I am taking algebra 1 this year. I wanted to write the Math for Real because in math class I do not always think that what we are learning is related to the real world. At home, my mom shows me all the different ways I am mathematically smart, which makes me want to try harder in school during the “rougher” days. We can use math to know more about how to improve our skills and find the math we learn in school more interesting and more related to our real world as middle schoolers.

Seventh Grader

Mike, a seventh-grader with a visual memory deficit, had an excellent grasp of logical reasoning and problem-solving principles, yet he was unable to perform basic mathematical operations. In my efforts to meet Mike's special needs as a learning-disabled child, I found some procedures that are good teaching practices in the regular classroom.

Seventh Grader

Language is an effective tool to get communication, interaction, and information about other people, society and other groups. Whenever people think about language, they usually think of mastering vocabulary. Mastering vocabulary means that they know all the words in the language which we use. In this research, the writer would like to carry out the research under title “An Experimental Study of Teaching Vocabulary by Using Hyponymy Games on the Seventh Grader of MTs Syech Ibrahim Payakumbuh. It was quasi experimental method. The population was all of the seventh grader at Seventh Grader of MTs Syech Ibrahim Payakumbuh. But, the writer just took one class as the sample. The objects of the study was the seventh grade of 7c class. From the result of statistic calculation, it is obtained the value of to is 8,9 and tt is 2,64. So tott. The comparison between t-score with t-table (2,64 8,9). It means that hypothesis of the research is accepted, or there is significant difference between the results of teaching vocabulary through hyponymy games for the Seventh Grader of MTs Syech Ibrahim Payakumbuh.

How does geometry appear through the eyes of a restless seventh grader? I tried to imagine it as I leafed through the Teacher's Edition in preparation for my first-ever encounter with teaching geometry. The pages of boring definitions and sterile, aloof diagrams gave a grim prognosis of glazed eyes and distant minds. There had to be more to it than this. The sign on the wall of my physics classroom reminded me of Einstein: “Geometry is the mathematics of space and time.” For a brief instant I considered trying to teach geometry through the topic of general relativity at a seventh-grade level—and although I came back down to earth from that idea quickly, the inspiration had served its purpose, sending me on an exploration to find more unique perspectives from which to teach and learn geometry. My discoveries evolved, and the consequent path that I took with my students turned out to be less abstract and esoteric than the fabric of space and time; instead, we delved into the topic of geometry as being a powerful sociological tool, solid yet enigmatic, a human and cultural representation of the world and the universe.

The aim of this study was to develop the application of English Vocabulary Application based on the desktop version to assist the mentally-retarded students in learning English vocabulary. This research used Research and Development (R&D) with ADDIE models. This research involved 5 seventh-grader of mentally-retarded students and 3 teachers who teach mentally-retarded students from SLB Arya Satya Hati. The researcher used three instruments for this research: (1) Interview, (2) Questionnaire, and (3) Documentation. The data were analyzed by using Arikunto’s theory (2010) and percentage index (%). The researcher carried out the dissemination by uploading the video on how to operate the English Vocabulary Application on Youtube due to the COVID-19 pandemic. From the validation results, it showed that English Vocabulary Application was feasible to be used as a learning media in assisting the mentally-retarded students with 100% materials validation results and 95% programming validation results. Based on the application try-out, 4 MR students could guess more than 10 words of 20 words and 1 MR student guessed 8 words of 20 words. Based on this research, the English Vocabulary Application could be used in teaching- learning vocabulary for mentally-retarded students through ICT. This application could be used as one ICT learning media and the other researcher could develop this application with the newest features.
