540-Week 5- Wicked Worksheets!
This week I struggled over the z-score worksheets. Since my experience is teaching in an elementary setting, I find it difficult to conceptualize how this information is applicable to my daily first grade responsibilities. I don't consider myself to be a very analytical or intellectual person. Learning does not come easy to me. So this experience with statistics reminds me of some of those frustrating times throughout my education experience where I am able to learn the how-to of a concept, but I have tremendous difficulty with the application. Going over our worksheets in class is very helpful. The problem I have is that I understand in the moment, but an hour later I'm lost again. UGH!!

Erin, I agree with you. I had great difficulty keeping up in this class more so than in the other classes. The best part of it for me didn't come from the numbers part of what we learned, it came from the discussions on uses for the data we collect during our own research.
