In the beginning of the semester I was much more quiet when working with a group. I was shy, so most of the time I would just stand back and agree with however my groupmembers solved the problems. I am now a lot more confident with working in a group, so I have been communicating my ideas in the group more and more throughout the course. At the same time I’m getting more confident with my math skills, so I’m less nervous about doing a problem incorrectly while working with others. This question (below) was quite challenging at first. As a group we all gave some ideas on how to approach the question, and the first few ways did not work. We tried out multiple ways of answering the question, until finally we could all agree on the correct outcome of the problem. We all then write down some of the points of the graph so that we could all understand how the problem worked. In a different problem we had found the solution, except the answer was not rationalized. At that particular time two other group members did not know how to rationalize the denominator, so I worked to explain the steps. Our group seems to be working well at explaining things when others don’t understand. If one person doesn’t understand one thing, usually somebody else in the group does. If there’s anything I think I should work on with collaboration, I think I should continue to be more comfortable with giving my ideas to the group.
