Scavenger Hunt & Final Exam

Answer each of the following questions in complete sentences:

1) What was your favorite part of the Scavenger Hunt? (You can have more than one favorite.)

2) What was your least favorite part? (Again, more than one least favorite is acceptable.)

3) What would you change about the Scavenger Hunt to make it better? (Additions, Omissions, etc.)

4) Do you still have foundational gaps in your mathematical knowledge? (aka: Are there concepts from class that you still do not understand?) If so, what are they? Be honest. If not, how do you know you have mastered all of the concepts?

5) This is the first time that you have ever had to take a final exam. Name at least two ways that you will prepare for your mathematics final.

  1. 1) My favorite part was when we won
    2) My least favorite part was when we had to "fast walk" all around the campus
    3) I would put more problems to the game to make the game longer
    4) We had some mistakes in the directions but in the end we got all the problems right
    5) I have to work on reading the problems correctly and I need to work on writing my scientific notation correctly

  2. 1.My favorite part was when we were picking up the first place paper and when we won the game!

    2.My least favorite part was when I was fast walk for the scavenger hunt and when we had the last problem.

    3. I would change the scavenger hunt to make more longer to be more fun :) !

    4. Yes, I had some foundational gaps in my mathematical knowledge. I had some mistakes actually I had a lot of mistake.

    5. I had to work on more word problem to understand better and to read more properly.

  3. 1) My favorite part of this Scavenger Hunt was when we solved the first problem in Mr. Jobe's class.
    2) My least favorite part was when we had to walk the stairs up and down a lot.
    3) I would change the game by adding more questions and put more interesting questions on it!
    4) For simplifying the fraction, we kind of struggled a lot.
    5) 1 - I am going to review the homeworks.
    2 - I am going to solve more problem solving questions

  4. My favorite part of the game was when we were FINALLY done with it. :)

    My least favorite part was running up and down the stairs.

    I don’t think anything should be changed because it was really fun but challenging.

    I don’t think think I still have foundational gaps anymore because this scavenger hunt really helped me with the things I may struggle with and most of the time. I got a little confused with the exponents in the scientific notations but later I got it.

    5) Two ways I will prepare for my mathematics final is going over the questions in the scavenger hunt and going over the study guide a million times. Also, if I have things I’m not sure about, I’m going to ask about them right away.

  5. My favorite part in the scavenger hunt was when Me and Sean finally solved all of the problems and were walking to were the Chess piece was.

    My least favorite part was thinking about the clues, and walking around.

    One thing I would like to change is, making people go to different places, not the same place. Because then you can sort of hear what others are talking about, and you get accused of cheating sometimes.

    I really struggled in solving a few problems, because I sometimes didn’t understand the problem, and I did the steps wrong.

    I will prepare for the exam by reviewing tests, and solving a few problems in the textbook.

  6. My favorite part in the scavenger hunt was that we can go out side to search for our clues. I think it's good to go out sometimes if you had hard work before

    My least favorite part was the last clue "KING" which was hard to find the answer for it.

    One thing I would change would be to go out more outside

    I think I should improve reading the questions and changing positive & negative signs

    Two ways would be looking over the textbook and tests I've taken

  7. 1)My favorite part of the Scavenger Hunt was finding the flag at the very last problem.

    2)My least favorite part was the question which was located in 3 and half.

    3)I would make the questions go all over the school to make it better and the questions to be trickier to have more fun.

    4)Yes, the gaps are the LCD Riddles, I still have problem getting the denominator or the numerator.

    5) I will answer questions on the math textbook and I will answer the questions which I got wrong from the previous tests

  8. 1.My favorite part of the scavenger hunt was when I had to go inside the tech room and ask Spanish questions to the teacher. Then, one of them told me the last word means “meow” in Spanish and I found out it was Mr.Kats where I had to get the clue from
    2. My least favorite part was when I found out Lisa and I were the 5th, the very last.
    3.I would change the part when we had to go outside (the outside area in 3rd) floor because it was freezing cold!
    4. No, there aren’t any gaps in my mathematical knowledge but honestly, I think I should study harder on solving word problems
    5. First, I am going to review the study guide, then look at the quizzes and the tests then solve some problems to test myself.

  9. 1. My favorite part of the Scavenger Hunt was receiving clues, and getting a chance to be exploring around the school. I think I enjoyed this because I usually like solving mysteries or clues that are uncertain.

    2. My least favorite part was that there were some problems that were really difficult and took us a long time to figure out.

    3. I would like to add more clues, and make the Scavenger Hunt to last longer, and have more time for the people that are falling back to catch up.

    4. I think I sometimes have hard time doing long, and complicating word problems that needs to be done with multi-steps. I understand how to do the math, but I usually seem to get confused and mixed up with the information the word problem is giving me.

    5. The first thing I did to prepare for my final, was to go back on my notes from the previous days, and list out all the things I had learned until now. Then, I would go on the textbook and do some of the problems that I think I might have a hard time solving during the exam. I also use the study guide Mr.Jobe gave to me to review before the final, and make sure I know everything.
