In order to prepare for the Unit 1 Test, we completed the study guide which covered all the classwork and homework we did in class during that unit.
The 21st Century Skill that I associate with this project is Thinking and Problem Solving because I wouldn’t always get the correct answer to the problem, so I would redo the entire problem in order to see where it went wrong. One of the areas that students are supposed to improve their Thinking and Problem Solving skills is in the field of higher order math skills, and I would say that I now understand a lot more about pre-calculus and algebra 2, as a lot of what we do in pre-calculus is heavily based upon algebra 2; we just expand on the concept.
I’m proud that whenever I got the wrong answer to the question I was trying to solve, I would go back and try to resolve the problem rather than googling the answer.
The difficult thing about this project was that math is a subject that I like to take my time on, so completing the study guide was time consuming. There were also problems that I just couldn’t figure out the answer to, so I would consult step by step processes online to try to help me figure out the problem. If I was to do this project differently, I would definitely try to get more of it done during the day instead of waiting till the evening to work on it.
