Analyzing My Mistakes in Math
I did a paper on ______________________ (the topic). I just got the paper back. I need to figure out where I made my mistakes, so that I won’t make the same mistakes again. I will go over each problem and check off where I made my mistakes. Then I will recopy each of the problems that I missed and redo them on another sheet of paper. The next time I do math problems, I will be more careful.
