You’re probably getting better at probability. =)
I know it’s hard to tell at times, but listen…
You try a problem, get it wrong, and think, “That was bad! Waaaa!!! =(. “
No! Don’t throw it out! It didn’t work, but what did it lead to? What ideas were redeemable, and what ideas need to be re-evaluated? Did you loosen up rigid ways of looking at things?
When you’re learning, don’t worry about being right. Focus on generating ideas and finding patterns in the problems you see. Alternate ways to consider a problem are always present if one bothers to look for them. Trust that the improvement is happening.
So be encouraged! Pick up another problem set from the google classroom and work! Work! WORK!
That kid that is amazing at violin… you know what that kid does a lot? practice.
That kid that is amazing at volleyball… you know what that kid does a lot? Practice.
That kid that is amazing at math… you know what that kid does a lot? PRACTICE!
Your coaches are giving you the right problems. You got to go and practice with them.
Those problem sets are simply the difference between what you have and what you want…
Now to some announcements.
This Tuesday, we are going to bring the whole gang together in room 1508/1510 for the first 20 minutes. Yup… bring the chaos. Frosh/Soph/Jr/Sr grades will meet in room 1508/1510 to start our meeting. There we will formally introduce our first community service event: The Math Carnival. =). It’s going to be amazing. Take joy in being the reason.
After our announcements, we will spread out into our separate rooms: Sophomores in 1500. Seniors in 1502. Juniors in 1506. Freshment in 1508/1510. In those rooms we will be taking our second vetting contest or reviewing probability strategies, depending on your grade level.
We are 10 days away from NSML 1! Time to lock in.
See ya Tuesday, September 17, 2024
