Time for Reflection

1)  We have covered a lot of ground so far in this class. Out of all of the concepts we've covered, what has been the most difficult for you to grasp? What has been the easiest? Why were they difficult/easy?

2) What strategies have helped you keep up with the material in this fast-moving course? Is there anything you do inside or outside of class that helps you?

3)  Do you still have foundational gaps in your mathematical knowledge? (aka: Are there concepts from class that you still do not understand?) If so, what are they? Be honest. If not, how do you know you have mastered all of the concepts?

4)  What improvements could be made in class to better help you understand the material?

5)  Name at least two ways that you will prepare for your mathematics final.

Algebra Class Reflection

1. Do you feel like the tests have been reasonably challenging? If they are challenging to you, what makes them challenging? If they are not challenging to you, what types of problems would make them more challenging?

2. Do you feel like Mr. Jobe adequately prepared you for the tests? Explain why or why not.

3. What has been your favorite part about math class so far? What has been your least favorite part?

4. What suggestions do you have to improve this class?

Invent a Review Game

Invent a new review game for the end of a chapter. How would it be structured? Would there be a clearly-defined winner? Make sure this game incorporates everyone in the class, where everyone is actively reviewing the material on some level.

(This blog will be graded based upon the thoughtfulness of your answer.)
