Geometry POL Prep - Semester 1 Reflection.
Geometry Skills
I feel that I have mastered using the diamond method. We did a brief lesson on how to use the diamond method in class and was really easy for me. But at first it was confusing because it was a new topic. Of course i’ve made a few mistakes at first but I got the hang of it while doing more challenging problems through-out class.
The exploration weren’t as helpful because they didn’t seem as helpful or like what we’ve learned in class. They were understandable but to me very out of my math skills. It was like just put on the homework and weren’t taught about it. The group discussions of Explorations were somewhat helpful because some people have explained the problem than the actual problem.
The hardest math problem I have encountered were most of the POW write-ups. I have tried to get better at this by asking others for help and looking over the rubric and example POW. But I’ve always seemed to fail at writing my write-ups. I think I also failed at this is because sometimes the POW’s are confusing, which I understand they are meant to be so it is a challenge. But after not being able to do my POW write-ups correctly they started to frustrate me and make me feel dumb.
