This post collects together many recent posts. We’re just at the end of Week 2, so we are pleased to support you with these reminders. We expect that you will soon be in the habit of checking the program website frequently enough that the posts will stand on their own.

Math Lab 2

Posted on by
  • Math Lab 2. No need to print, paper copies will be available in lab.
  • PART 5: META-COGNITIVE REFLECTION. Reflect on and write (briefly) about your learning in this activity.
    • Type up your responses and staple neatly to the end of the lab handout.
    • Time/length: Spend no more than 10 minutes on this part, and somewhere between 100 and 300 words long.
    • Here are some prompts to help get you started. What prior knowledge/learning did this lab build on? What was a struggle for you? What did you learn, or learn better? What did you encounter that was surprising, or interesting? What are you still wondering about, both in terms of the content and your own process?
  • PART 6: FURTHER EXTENSION EXPLORATIONS ON LIMITS OF DIFFERENCE QUOTIENTS (if you have time/interest). Particularly recommended if much of the current work is review for you.

Math Quiz #1 and Revision

Posted on by
  • Blank copy of Math Quiz #1
  • Math Quiz #1 Revisions are due 9am Mon. Oct. 9
  • Who should submit a Math Quiz Revision? All students are invited to submit a Math Quiz #1 Revision (details below) for as many problems as you choose to revise and resubmit.
  • Math Quiz Revision Detailed Guidelines
    • You may utilize any resource available to you, but submitted work must reflect your own personal understanding of the material.
    • The care you take in presenting your work will be considered when evaluating it, so pay attention to organization, neatness, etc.
    • Revisions must be neat, complete, and presented in a logical, clear-to-understand fashion.
    • Since these are revisions, a higher standard will be used to evaluate your responses. Essentially, your revised solutions should be of the highest quality you can produce.
    • You may revise any problems you choose, and must present a complete solution to any problem you choose to revise (not just a part of a problem).
    • For multiple choice/fill-in-the-blank type questions, your revised solution should completely and clearly explain your reasoning (even though no explanation was required on the original quiz).
