Kahoot Results and Discussion

1) What Colour Do You Think Math Is?

2) Which Environment Do You Work Best In?

3) What Time Of Day Do You Feel Most Productive?

• Members are split about 50/50 when it comes to whether time of day affects their productivity more or the thing they’re doing.

4) What Is the Biggest Obstacle To Your Productivity?

5) What Makes You Feel Most Confident That You Understand A Topic?

• When asked about what makes them feel confident in their learning, Minnie chose “solving problems” while Terri chose “connecting ideas with real-world examples.” Fittingly so, Minnie happens to like subjects such as math and chemistry while Terri likes humanities.

6) Which Of The Following Processes Is Your Favorite?

7) Which Note Taking Format Appeals The Most To You?

• Outline seems to be the most common note-taking method solely because of efficiency

8) Do You Prefer Questions With Defined Correct Answers Or Questions With No Singular Correct Answer?

• People seem to gravitate towards close-ended questions rather than questions with no right answer. Perhaps it’s easier to think in black and white than to take the time to accept and explore gray areas.

9) How Do You Feel About Working In Groups?

• A main obstacle that drives people to dislike group work is the common lack of communication at the start of projects that leads to different expectations and different effort outputs from individuals.

10) How Similar Is High School To What You Expected Before You Started Grade 8?

• Nobody’s high school experience aligned with their initial expectations!!
