In regards to the table above, we found several things to be interesting to the way these particular students think and form ideas. First off, the students we had interviewed were in either 5th or 6th grade, which means that it’s expected of them to think this task may be a little easy. However, most of the students except one, seemed to confuse metal objects, with non-metal objects. For this reason, we think the students formed ideas based on; if the object is heavy in anyway and appears to…

Tutoring for Math was assigned for the week, I was not planning to go. The Math lesson was very confusing, so many of the people in class were attending. I was self conscious to go because I…

A stereotype is used to categorize a group of people. By not understanding that type of person, they are put into classifications by society.
