Self check

After completing the exercises, use this checklist to evaluate your mastery of the objectives of this section.

A table with four columns and four rows is shown. The columns are titled “I can …”, “Confidently”, “With some help”, and “No – I don’t get it!”. The first column has three rows of text that read “use place value with whole numbers”, “identify multiples and apply divisibility rules” and “find prime factorization and least common multiples”. All other spaces on the table are blank.

If most of your checks were:

…confidently. Congratulations! You have achieved the objectives in this section. Reflect on the study skills you used so that you can continue to use them. What did you do to become confident of your ability to do these things? Be specific.

…with some help. This must be addressed quickly because topics you do not master become potholes in your road to success. In math, every topic builds upon previous work. It is important to make sure you have a strong foundation before you move on. Who can you ask for help? Your fellow classmates and instructor are good resources. Is there a place on campus where math tutors are available? Can your study skills be improved?

…no—I don’t get it! This is a warning sign and you must not ignore it. You should get help right away or you will quickly be overwhelmed. See your instructor as soon as you can to discuss your situation. Together you can come up with a plan to get you the help you need.
