Semester Transition Reflection
Guidelines: Reflection should be one to two pages. Leave the current page settings.
Thinking back on semester 1, what are the two most important things you learned? Talk about those. What are specific things you did that helped you learn those things?
In this class, two of the most important things I learned are communication and higher order thinking. The build your own house unit, was a different project that normally I wouldn’t do in any of my other classes. Throughout the project we encountered obstacles such as all the calculations, however, my group and I used our problem solving skills and a higher order of thinking to fix and resolve the Issues by dividing the work and having our paper neatly laid out with everything labeled. When working with the architects and realtors, I learned to work and communicate with other adults and listen to their suggestions and feedback as it was beneficial to us in creating a better final …show more content…
What specific things will you focus on?
This semester's I want to focus on learning new math skills such as algebra and statistics. I would like to overall develop and improve my general ability to solve real world problems and to have a deep understanding of the math concepts the go along with the projects. One of my goals would be to continue to work on my weaker 21st century skill such as my flexibility and leadership skills.
We’ve covered geometry topics, matrices, and probability in semester 1. What other topics would be of interest to you? Do you have a project idea that would tie math into another one of your classes?
I am really open to any new project ideas that present realistic application of the math concepts. A project regarding applied statistics would be most beneficial to me. For second semester, I am taking personal finance which also deals with math in concepts like simple or compound interest and even managing credit
