On Tuesday March 6th, we split the class into two
groups. The groups had to have the same
number of men and women in each.
Professor Moss presented us with a series of numbers. He instructed us to solve the pattern and
figure out what the next number was in the series. I immediately began to get excited; reason
being was because growing up as a child from early elementary school till now
math was my favorite subject. So I
personally felt the need to help my group and try to lead. But I did not take the lead; I actually
listened and try to learn how other people in my group went about their ways of
coming up with the solution. Personally
I tend to be a leader by example. I find
it best in order for me to learn, I just keep quiet, listen and watch what
other people say and do.
Everyone contributed to the group in some way or another. We found that the time we had was used very
wisely. I also noticed how much more
cooperative our group was compared to the other group who was struggling to
come to an answer as a group. Our group
communicated very well and found ways to input everyone’s word or idea some
how.
The next part of the activity was to select one person from
our group to explain and try to convince the other group why our solution to
the problem presented was the correct one.
In our group we all decided what made sense and the most convincing way
to prove how our solution works. The
only problem when the final solution was presented was that our group member
did not explain the solution correctly.
In the end, by the way the two groups had presented the solution, both
groups were wrong. So what I noticed was
the lack of detail in the explanation was the problem that our group had. Being able to pitch an idea, or explain a
plan, needs to be short, precise, and clear.
Communication is key to relaying your message.
