Instructions:
Begin by summarizing your experience during the “Card Trick Instructions” activity. Describe what happened and the roles of your group’s Magician and Reader.
Reflect on the role of the Reader in helping the Magician successfully complete each card trick. Did the Reader read the instructions slowly and step by step? Did she need to reread any steps? Discuss how this process relates to reading your math textbook.
If you switched roles between tricks, please share some of the strategies you observed or adopted. For those who didn’t switch roles, describe any effective strategies your partner employed during the tricks.
Explore the similarities and differences between following the instructions for a card trick and reading your math textbook. How does the act of following instructions in both cases contribute to your understanding of the subject matter?
Consider the factors that may discourage you from reading your math textbook. Are there specific challenges or reasons that make it less appealing? On the contrary, what motivates you to read it? How can you apply this motivation to boost your engagement with your math studies?
Discuss the unique characteristics of reading mathematics compared to other types of books, such as novels or textbooks from other subjects. What strategies could you employ to make reading your course’s mathematics textbook more effective and engaging for yourself?
Reflect on the learning objectives of the card trick activity. What do you think you were supposed to learn from this experience? How does it relate to your overall understanding of the learning process in mathematics?
Explore your experiences with attempting the card trick, possibly failing at first, and then succeeding after trying again. Relate this to the process of doing mathematics. Are there parallels between overcoming challenges in the card trick and in math problem-solving?
Identify the key motivators that drive you to read the math textbook and complete your homework. Were you motivated to complete each card trick during the activity? If so, how can you apply that motivation to your math studies? If not, discuss strategies to boost your motivation and engagement in your math coursework.
Formatting and Submission: Please submit your assignment as a well-organized essay. Be sure to address the questions above, providing thoughtful and reflective responses. The assignment should be typed and submitted electronically through Brightspace.
Grading Criteria: Your assignment will be assessed based on the clarity of your responses, the depth of your reflection, and your ability to draw meaningful connections between the card trick activity and reading mathematics. Additionally, proper grammar and formatting will be considered when evaluating your work.
