So this is our final Math Monday blog post! This is also our last Monday here at ECMS this school year. Since we are winding down this year, I am going to write about how writing these posts, like this, has helped me this year. Here we go.
First off, I think that this has helped me to slow down and recognize my accomplishments this school year. Not only my accomplishments, but also things that I struggled with and overcame in math. I have also had to explain how to solve certain types of math problems, here on Math Mondays. How has that helped me? Well, as you know, the curriculum for all math is changing. Not just in math, but also in every other subject. The state of California wants to make our state's education system similar to other states. How are they going to do that? Well, they are going to change some ways that we are taught and tested.
It is said that we will no longer have multiple choice questions, and we will soon have to explain our answers and how we got them. Basically, they want to see if we really do understand what we are learning, and the only way to find out, is to change the way we are tested. The blog posts that we have done this year are preparing us for what we might have to see later on in our education. Therefore, I think that they have helped to "train" us for what may come our way in our futures.
