Reflections

Reflective inventory

1. Some ways of learning Mathematics that worked well for me

• Practice, practice and practice
• ask frequent questions
• revising stuff learnt on the day itself

2. Some ways of learning Mathematics that has not worked well for me

• Revising the whole stack of topics before a few weeks before exam

3. My performance in Mathematics so far

• 4.0 from year 1 to year 2 (I had just the right amount of confidence; neither proud nor anxious, plus effort)
• A dip in results for the first half of the year in year 3 but managed to account for them during EYA, earning me a 4.0 in M1 and 3.2 in M2 (I was blinded by my confidence of the fact that I had never failed to score 4.0 in every paper and waited for good results.)

Getting to know me

1. The following are some attributes I felt are my personal strengths

• positive attitude towards math
• ability to adapt stuff learnt well
• being meticulous

2. The following are some areas of improvement I hope to work on in 2015

• tendency to neglect putting in effort for learning points that seem trivial
• most of the time little productivity due to little efficiency
• time management

3. To me, being successful in my performance in Mathematics this year means...

• constancy in 4.0 at least in Math 1
• 4.0 in Math 2
