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 integers and rational numbers, because it was not difficult to add, subtract, multiply, or divide numbers.
Something I found that was interesting was graphing, because it was interesting to be able to find a slope, the number of y/x.
Something that was difficult for me was probability, because it is confusing to find the most random way of a situation.
