1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you over the break with your senior project?
I tried contacting my mentor through email so that I could ask if I could come in and get some hours done this week, but unfortunately he didn't get back to me because he is a teacher and he probably wanted to enjoy his break.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why? What was the source of what you learned?
I learned that I should obtain more information from my mentor so that I can stay in touch with him for whatever I need.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
I would talk to my mentor because even though I've only seen him a couple of times he has given me useful information and he is a really good teacher from what I have observed so far.

Research and Working EQ
Content:
1. What is your working EQ?
My working EQ is "What are the best techniques one can use when teaching math in middle school?"
2. What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.
-One should observe the different learning styles and try to accomodate to each style by incorporating fun activities such as games or hands-on activites as well as using real-world applications.
-Children suffer deeply when their natural way of thinking, absorbing, and processing information is criticized, mocked, or ignored. Never tell a student that they are wrong and scold them.
-Help students make interpretations and to be able to generalize and recognize generalizations since math is about thinking and reasoning.
3. What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
All of the articles that I have found have helped me greatly because I have learned about the different learning styles of children and about how you must be optimistic when working with children. I have also learned about teachers' education and how some math teachers believe that they weren't prepared enough to work in classrooms with high poverty and minority groups.
4. Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
I am currently volunteering at Cortez Mathematics and Science Magnet School, I have been helping for 4 years now. Thanks to this experience I have been able to work with students and teachers. I have observed how not all students have the same enthusiasm when it comes to learning new concepts. All this time that I've spent with the teachers has helped me learn different techniques and strategies that you can use when dealing with students who don't behave good or who don't want to cooperate.
