Math Profile

I feel I can be good in math in some areas and in others I may need some focus. I think my areas of strength are simple multiplication, addition, division, and subtraction when given a small amount of time. My weaker areas are harder multiplication, addition, division, and subtraction questions when you have a longer amount of time to complete it. In some of my past tests you can see this. We used to have small morning tests with around 4-8 questions and I did quite well on those, and they were around 10-15 minutes. But where my weakness lay was in the longer 20 question take home tests that take maybe one and a half hours to two hours.

I find math very fun when we work in groups or as a class, but what I also like is when we mix things up we do half the class on our own, maybe on a test, and then we go over it as a class. I don’t really like it when we just have a test the whole class and then we give the paper in when we finish it. I find communication in math fun we also get things done if we work well, but I totally appreciate that we would probably just chose our best friends if you let us decide our groups.

I find I can be a good math student when I want to be. Some days I might just be tired or stressed so honestly I might not give 101% to be top of the class. But I do want to do well and I think I can. But as all people I have a variety of skills and some areas where I am not as strong.

When I am doing my math homework I always take a piece of paper just to make notes on, sometimes I even need two. I use these pieces of paper to make notes on and work out quick equations or even do my working out on so the hard copy doesn’t look messy. So if some days you don’t see my working out it will probably be done on a piece of paper, but I will always try to keep this sheet so I can show my working out.
