Stanford University Maths Reflection

This term for maths we had to sign up for a maths coarse with Stanford university and solve some maths problems. At the start of your lesson it would show you about what you were learning and then give you a quiz on if you new what you were learning about then finally at the end we would get a test.

Lesson 1:

I have learned in lesson 1 that if you are successful and like maths already, you will succeed and also if you struggle in maths it is good because you will be learning from the mistakes .You can always try and try again until you get the questions correctly witch means you are learning and you can show it by struggling.

Lesson 2:

I learned in lesson 2 that everyone minds grow with maths because in maths you always struggle witch means you are learning and when you are learning you are getting better at the strategy that you have been working on and also if you are struggling you can just try and try again.

Lesson 3:

I learned in lesson 3 that it is good to make mistakes because then you can learn more and you can try and try again. Also I learned that if you get your question wrong and someone else gives you the answer you can just ask for a different question and work it out the same way but even if that has a mistake in it you always that that you are learning and trust  me you WILL get it right one day.

Lesson 4:

That you need to struggle in order to succeed because when you are struggling you are learning from your mistakes so more mistakes you make the more you learn. If your teacher see's you struggling the probably won't help because they know each time you try that you are learning.

Lesson 5:

I learnt in lesson 5 that whenever you are making a question for someone that you always check your sizing of the shape because if the shapes are not the same size your question could go horribly wrong. Also when you are working a problem check out what part of the shape is shaded the count how many there is.

Lesson 6:

I think maths is fun because you can always find different answers and ways to solve the question and it makes it more and more challenging.
