Core Competency

I recognize that listening contributes to my understanding in these ways. Listening to other’s opinions could help me figure out my mistakes. When I couldn’t find my mistake after doing a math question, I would ask my parents and they would help me by telling me how they would solve the problem and where I might have gone wrong. Their different perspectives on the problem often make me see things in a new way, which helps me learn and avoid repeating the same errors. In addition, listening to my teachers and classmates on how they would approach the question and solutions also help me expand my own thinking and problem-solving skills. In math class, I work with others to achieve a goal. When our teacher assigns us homework, I would work with my classmates and help each other out. After finishing the homework assigned, I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. Since math isn’t something I dominate in, I feel proud that I finished it and understand the concepts that I’ve learned. I take pride in my work and myself.
