What is your strength in group work? How do you use this to actively contribute during group work activities?
My strengths in group work are that I am able to communicate with people to solve a math problem. During review and doing math questions on the white boards, I was able to show that I was on task, and I gave my thoughts and asked questions if I did not know something. This is a strength because whenever I work by myself, I may lack understanding. I can use my strengths to actively contribute during group work activities by doing as told and by encouraging everyone to share their ideas, facilitating discussions towards agreement, and recognizing each team member’s strengths to come up with answers.
What does it mean to be disciplined in math? How do you show you are disciplined in this course?
Being disciplined in math means consistently dedicating time and effort to understanding and committing to try your best by completing work on time, studying, and participating in group work. I show that I am disciplined in this course by studying ahead for a test, completing and putting maximum effort into homework, and by showing up on time to class ready to learn.
How do you prepare for a test? Does this seem to work for you? Are there changes you need to make to ensure you are successful?
Whenever there is a test coming up, I prepare by studying ahead of time and not last minute and by asking my peer tutor or teacher with any questions or any additional help I need. I review my notes and highlight key things I need to work on, and I also test myself with practice questions and explain things to make sure I understand. This seems to work great for me and if I were to make any changes, I might need to adjust my study routine based on feedback or areas where I struggle. Seeking more help from teachers or classmates on challenging topics could be beneficial. Also, staying organized and managing my time effectively to avoid last-minute stress could contribute to overall success in my studies. This way of studying usually works for me, but I’m willing to change it if needed to do even better.
