=__Attitudes Towards Math __=  As we start the new school year, I am curious as to what my students think about math right now. What did you like or dislike about your previous classes or teachers? I have found that many students have a negative attitude towards math, and I want to work on improving that this year. Here's a list of questions I want you to think about that will help me figure out your general opinion of math.


 * 1) Do you enjoy doing math?
 * 2) Do you feel like math is waste of time?
 * 3) Do you think you use math in your daily life?
 * 4) Would you say that you are good at math?
 * 5) What is one thing you like about math?
 * 6) What is one thing you dislike about math?
 * 7) Why do you think math is hard for many people?
 * 8) What have you thought about your previous math teachers?


Also, here are a few online articles that deal with this topic:

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I am looking forward to getting to know all of you this year and I hope we can make it a great learning experience for everyone.

Thanks for being in my class and visiting this site!
