Question

Mindset: This discussion topic is about the impact of challenges on personal growth... Think of a time when you were challenged by a math assignment. What was the topic? Did you end

up successfully completing it? If you can not think of a challenge that you encountered in math class, think of one from another aspect of your life. Share what the challenge was and what
the outcome was. In either scenario, did you find yourself saying any negative self-talk ("There's no way I can do this." "I've never done this before." "I'm never going to get better at
this.")?
How can working through challenges in your math class influence how you see yourself as a math student? What are some strategies you can use (or are already using) to confidently approach
challenges in math?

Answer 1

One time I was challenged by a math assignment was when I was performing rotations, and reflections. It was confusing to know what coordinates needed to change based on each rule. After studying and asking for help, I was able to complete this assignment. At time, I thought I didn't know enough to complete the assignment, but I am happy to say that I improved. Working through your problems can help you succeed and have more confidence in yourself as a student.
