Think of a time when you had a question in math class, did you ask it? If so, did it get answered? If you tend to not ask your questions, why do you think you hesitate to ask? Have you ever had someone else ask the same question you had? How did it make you feel? Relief?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: This week, I had a question in math class about the different types of angles, such as alternate interior angles theorem, alternate exterior angles, same-side interior angles, same-side exterior angles, corresponding angles, concurrent lines, perpendicular lines, and a few more types of angles about lines and knowing what matches to what type of angle. Yes, I did ask a few questions when I was confused about certain lines and how they have this angle, such as a concurrent line. Yes, my question was answered. I actually enjoy asking questions because if I don't learn what I'm confused about, how will I know how to improve and avoid making the same mistakes? Yes, I had someone else ask the same question I had before, whether it was something new learned in class or something confusing or difficult to learn. It made me feel relieved and grateful because I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was confused, and it makes it easier when someone else doesn't understand the same step, and challenges when learning new things. The questions we ask lead to new discoveries. Questions lead us to answers we never considered before we asked the question. Of course, one cannot simply ask question after question without considering possible answers. Many people, on the other hand, are afraid that by asking questions, they will appear weak, ignorant, or unsure. They are afraid that asking questions will place them in a negative light. Lastly, some people are so eager to get things done that they don't stop to ask questions because it might slow them down.
