Next semester I definitely must improve my use of mathematical language. Especially now because I have been giving math advice to a lot of students. I find it very funny how I even manage to explain everything and yet I'm not being able to explain it in the exam. However, it's not like I'm really bad at this. I believe that more than anything I find that there are a lot of ways to solve things and I often think way too much about what they ask me for, and I get confused. As well I sometimes forget particular and important things, like sometimes I can't exactly tell the difference of when to use ln or log (although I know it is mainly their bases which tell the difference). Still, mistakes help us get better. So here are my evidences and corrections:
In this collaborative activity we created a document with all the right answers and procedures for all the problems covered in Module 5. We did gave in the activity at the due time, we only had a minor mistake because at the end we confused about who would have to print it but in the end we printed it and gave it on time. I did participated and did my share of the team, I was assigned certain problems from the module to solve and I was in charge of organizing their process and answer, and putting their graphs. The way we divided the work was by assigning problems. We took in count the abilities and availability of each member, because some times we couldn't do certain problems because that day we would have some personal thing that wouldn't let us work, but next time we divided the work different. In order to also give rests to the other team members and so that we worked somehow fairly and not overwork while some others would do nothing. We defined our objectives by looking at the rubric and coped with what we were assigned to do. We shared a digital document so that it would be easier to help others and manipulate our data. I accepted several opinions, as well as I gave some. This in order to organize better and make sure that we would have everything complete.
In this collaborative activity we made a video explaining the Euler number. We did gave in the activity at the due time, it was uploaded and deliver as the instructions asked. I did participated and did my share of the team, I was the one to record the presentation and give the explanation. I was checking on my team members so that they would give me the information and the presentation on time in order to practice and record it nicely. The way we divided the work was by assigning roles. Ana Isa was the researcher (the one to look for the information), Samara the engineer (the one assigned to make a presentation from the information), and I was the anchor (the one to communicate everything though a video). We all chose and accepted their own roles, and by basing in the rubric we all agreed about our job. It is seen in the final job that we all compromised to it because we all did it in time and shared our part in order to give in a final job well done. I accepted several opinions, because I had to cope with the products I received to work with. I was open minded and worked with whatever they gave to me and if I had any questions I would tell them.
In this collaborative activity we played a game in which we had to solve a problem about the module and then if we got it right we could go to the next question, and like that until the end, if we got it wrong we had to choose another one and do it until it was right. We did gave in the activity at the due time, even we had a bit of extra time because we worked very good together, we all knew the topics and also if we had any doubts we solved them between each other. I did participated and did my share of the team, since we solved the questions by turn, it was just about doing the one I was supposed to do, and help my team members if it was necessary. The way we divided the work was by a common agreement, we all just tried to get together and choose what we liked the most. My team members were also my friends so it was really easy to work with them, besides we are all good at math so we did it very good. As I mentioned before, because of our friendship and thanks that the activity was very clear it was really easy to define objectives and to work together. I accepted several opinions, since we were trying to make common agreements sometimes I had to accept what my other team members wanted and them as well.
As an evidence of critical thinking you can see the evaluation of my teacher. It is based on classroom observations and questions indicated as critical thinking activities. Here is my rubric:
