Refelections #2!

1.) This week I approached class pretty much the same as last week, except I attempted to take better notes, I dont think I succecced though.

2.) When we use technology to learn we lose all knowledge. We let the technology take over, and find out the answer. I personally think that the old way is better, because it trained our minds more.

3.) The advantages to technology like that, is that it does the problem for you, and you don't have to put in any effort anymore. But there are more disadvantages than advantages, because our minds will eventually get slower because of technology. Older generations can do most kinds of math in their heads, but our generations can't do that.

4.) That we get to use our phones if we have a B or higher, firstly because it gives me a reason to actually do my work, secondly, because I like using my phone.

5.) I wouldn't make any changes, and I would get students excited about math by using examples that they find understandable, and encorperate activities that they enjoy doing.

6.) I only thought there were 4, and I googled it, and I still only see 4. But the four I found were. 1.) Add or subtract to eliminate the variable term on one side. 2.) Add or subtract to eliminate the constant term on the other side. 3.) multiply or divide to get a single variable. Lastly, check your answer.

7.) To make sure they do it correctly, and so that if they do mess up, they can go back and fix it.

8.)  Some common mistakes I make are switching two digit numbers around, like if a number was 54 on a piece of paper, I might accidently write 45, and switching signs from positive to negative.

9.) By plotting points.

Glogging!

This math class is much better, and much easier then all math classes I've had in the past. Last year I didn't know anything my teacher said, and now I actually understand stuff thanks to this math class. Over the next few weeks I expect the material to be easy. I also plan to take better notes.
