TPI Test Result




It is surprising that the developmental and the nurturing perspectives are the highest among the 5, because I used to think that it is really important for the students to understand concepts for subjects like math. This result shows that I would like to help students develop mathematical thinking instead of just transmitting knowledge to them.

My question is whether we need to consider and balance all 5 perspectives.

    I think that a balance of all five perspectives is helpful.

Reflection on Math Art Project

           We chose to do a project on Christopher's artwork was because it looked interesting: could be seen as both a 2D object and a 3D object. We tried to find the math concepts or theories behind the artwork, but we did not find anything useful and Christopher did not reply our email. Then we looked into his artwork and description in detail and found that he was trying to explore dimensions with repetition of shapes. By repeating the same 2D shape, a new 2D shape could be formed, and by tilting some of the 2D shapes, the new shape may appear 3D.             Instead of octahedron, we used tetrahedron instead, explored the differences between gaps and no gaps between shapes and created our artwork. We first thought that we could just generate an artwork from computer software, then we noticed that he mentioned about that inconsistency and error may be a seed of creativity. So we tried to draw the art by...
