There are soooo many skills involved in being successful. Some as simple as writing down a note or an example. Listening or rather ACTIVE listening is also key, and usually the beginning breakdown to students confusion of a concept. Organization is important to just keep your sheets, questions, quizzes together as they can used again to study from or review. But ultimately a students success depends on their attitude in TRYING!
Today we played an algebra review games called GRUDGEBALL. Kids had to work as a team to complete a math task and get a chance to shoot for power so to remove points from opponents. As a naturally competitive person I feel like this game sparks a motivation to literally "Give it a shot". The team with the least amount of points taken are deemed our winners and all won AwesomeSauce in the class. Everyone had a great time and as one student pointed out "Copeland, I feel like I'm learning more from my mistakes in this game" : WHOO HOO!!
