My Last Piece of Work: REFLECTION
1)Why did you choose the concepts you did to create your problem set?
The concepts we chose had to deal with question we either hated or loved. What the important part of picking the questions was the mathematical "grit" as Mr. K called it. There had to be a level of difficulty present in the question that would make it somewhat a challenge. It wouldn't be very helpful to our learning if we used a question like what's log10. There wouldn't be much explaining going on with that.
2)How do these problems provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far?
Well from reading my explanations on how to solve the questions, it shows which questions I had difficulty with or not. I thought I explained the log questions the best because I feel most comfortable with that and I think...it shows in my explanation. In my other questions, I explained it as best I could but it does show I'm still flawed at understanding those question. However, I can tell from when I first learned this to redoing questions similar, I am doing much better at them. Some of these questions like the graphing one I hated and I still hate but I feel much more confident with them.
3)Did you learn anything from this assignment? Was it educationally valuable to you?
I didn't enjoy doing this assignment. It'd be wrong for me to like any homework assigned XD. Saying that though, it wasn't useless even though I had to force myself to work on it. Doing this was quite a valuable experience. Without it, I would never have opened my dust collected exercise book and looked/redid questions. If anything this has taught me, I'd rather solve a question than make one up because of the two solving is much easier.
