Candid Student Reports

The following reports were written by members of Math Explorations, Session B during the first day of the program. Some elements may have been removed/edited for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.

This class was basically an introduction day. I liked how you got to choose the activity that you would study later on. I thought I chose a really cool one, rabbits and wolves. The thing I didn't like is writing this.


David

I really enjoyed today's class. All the activities were worth while. I had not taken the class in so long and for me it was a good review not to mention fun and interesting.


Wledeh

We like the games that we played on the Shodor website. Some thing we did not like were the some of the game that we did not get. We learned the concept of math and the importance of math.

1. I liked that I could play games that had to do with the subject. 2. I didn't have a dislike for today. 3. I learned about different games that helped me think more about math.


Ethan

This class was interesting, mainly because it put into a different perspective the things that I have already learned in previous math classes. I like that the class covered so many different topics as well as allowed everyone to be involved in the different topics taught. I pretty much liked the entire class, though I have learned most of this through algebra, geometry and the other math classes. Because of this, I had fun finding new ways to investigate math topics through the interactive activities on the web.


Jenna

Much more interesting than my algebra class, although it probably would've been more interesting for me if it was a bit more fast paced. I learned forest fires are quite easy to start and spread, and trying to do the pythagorean theorem without a calculator that can do square roots is quite difficult.


Al

I like this camp session because we learned things about math and programs. I like everything we learn.


Karyee

I really enjoyed all of the activities we did in class today. I think that it helps to work in groups to share your ideas.


Ebonee

I liked today's math explorations class. The basic things that I liked about the class were that we able get in a group and to solve some hard question like "What is math? What are numbers?" some thing that I would not have thought to think about on my own.


Sade

What I liked about this class was that my teachers, and other students were nice and had a very good attitude on the first day. I thought I learned a lot today from definitions of math, to some SHODOR math exercises. I really didn't have any bad experiences today. My first day was great.
