Welcome

You found it!!!

Welcome to our mutual venture into the land of math blogging. This is the place to come when you did not quite understand that last topic from class, or you were too shy to ask your question, or you want to share an interesting and useful math website or new problem-solving strategy, or maybe just to chat about your math struggles and/or successes.


As with everything, you will get out what you put in.



So let's get started. Here is your 1st assignment.

The first person to respond appropriately will receive a 105% for this assignment. (It will be your job, if needed, to help others figure out how to get here and post.)

Everyone must respond by Friday at 2:30.

Go here http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infocs/study/curve.html
and read about The Forgetting Curve.

1. Describe how this relates to your study habits. Do those numbers seem accurate? What specific changes could you make which would make learning math easier for you? What strategies do you use that might benefit others?

Blogging is just one way to revisit a new piece of information. Below each post you will see a section for comments. Use these comments to help and learn from your friends but also as a way to review new info. Keep that curve high!

2. Think back over last year, or even beyond, and identify one or two particular math concepts that were and maybe still are particularly troubling for you. Ask 1 or 2 questions in your post about these topics. This is your chance to get your questions heard.

Once you finish your assignment, go here

to play a fun and deceptively challenging game. Level 1 is automatic. Level 2 is a quick hello. It's not until level 3 that you will appreciate the game. Remember, this is for AFTER you finish your assignment!

Happy bloggin'.
