This page is the math reflection for your year in math class. It should be filled out before your conference with your parents and should guide you in discussing how math has been this year and is progressing this semester. It should also allow you to develop a plan and goals to finish the year strong.
Please discuss the following topics as a family:
“Throughout this year in math class, we have learned about…”
1. expressions and equations
2. percents
3. unit rate
4. percent proportions
5. graphing
6. integers and rational numbers
Something I found that was easy was basically everything, it just took me a day or 2 for it to make sense.
Something I found that was interesting was integers because thinking about negative numbers was kinda confusing.
Something that was difficult for me was expressions and equations because it took me a while to remember how to find the amount of a variable.

My academic mark is 3.
What types of assignments make up my academic mark?

Why do you think we look at this information?

How does homework impact your math academic mark?
Homework helps us have extra practice for different topics so we get assignments done on time and get good grades.
After the discussion about math, discuss the following:
Does your grade represent your work in class and at home?
Yes, because it shows how hard you've worked.
What do YOU want your grade to be in math by the end of the semester? Why?
I would like to get at least a 3.5. I want it to be this grade because it represents that I have worked very hard and I belieive I have worked really hard.
How are you going to achieve this goal?
I am going to achieve this goal by getting homework done early and to iXL's in my free time so I can practice more.
How can Mr. Tuke help you succeed?
Mr. Tuke has helped me succeed by giving me time to practice and things to help me on tests.
If there are any questions, please call Mr. Tuke over when he is free to talk.
