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. probability
2. percents
3. unit rate
4. percent proportions
5. graphing
6. Integers and rational numbers
Something I found that was easy was finding the equation for a slope and finding the percent of a number or thing.
Something I found interesting was that negative exponents can divide the base, and that if an equation has different bases, the exponents cannot be added or subtracted.
Something difficult for me was negative exponents and adding numbers with different bases and exponents together.

How does homework impact your math content grade?
Homework impacts my content grade by helping me learn about things I didn't know before, and helping me to understand what I need to work on more before an upcoming test or quiz.
After the discussion about math, discuss the following:
Does your grade represent your work in class and at home?
What do YOU want your grade to be in math by the end of the semester? Why?
How are you going to achieve this goal?
How can Mr. Tuke help you succeed?
If there are any questions, please call Mr. Tuke over when he is free to talk.
