This unit was about how to transform shapes to rotate, reflect over a line, and translate them to another place. We learned that these series of transformations are called rigid transformations, and they can determine whether or not two figures are congruent. On the test, I got a meets + because I got 13/14 questions correct. The one question I got wrong was because I said that two angles were congruent, but weren't, so I made an honest mistake. In the workbook, I got a meets because I did all of the lessons I was supposed to, and I made sure to stay on task when class was in session. One goal I have for the next unit is to get all of the questions right on the end of unit assessment, and try to fix my mistakes before they happen. 

On the beginning of the year I-ready, I scored a 513, which means I scored at late 7th. I was in the 71st percentile, which means I did better than 71% of all kids in the US. I scored the lowest in Numbers and operations and geometry because I was in 7th grade for that. I scored the highest in algebra and algebraic thinking and measurement and data because I was in 8th grade for that. A goal I have for the end of the year is to get into 8th grade for geometry because I thought I was really good at it, but I guess not. I will accomplish this goal by studying all of my cool downs and in class work.     

This test was on non-rigid transformations called dilations, which are when you scale up or down a figure based on the center of dilation and how much you are dilating by. This test was also on slope, or how steep a line is. To find slope, you do rise/run, or the y coordinate over the x coordinate. On the workbook check, I got a meets+ because I didn't miss any days and was also very thorough with my answers. on the test, I got a meets because I got 13.5 out of 16 correct.  I am a little disappointed with this grade because this year, I am stuck in the middle of differentiated math and advanced, so am doing extra work to get into advanced because I know everything we were learning in differentiated. I expected to get an exceeds, but I didn't and am disappointed in myself. However, meets is still a passing grade, so I can't really complain. 

Differentiated math has gotten way too easy for me. I am working extra hard to get into advanced next semester, so differentiated is way too easy. I got a 5/5 and a meets for this quiz, which was on slope and what the y intercept means. The slope is how steep a line is, and to get it you have to do rise/run, or y coordinate/x coordinate. The y intercept is when the x coordinate = 0, so for example if a man is saving up his money in bank account, but already had 20 dollars in it, then 20 dollars would be the Y intercept because he had that much money when the amount of weeks he has spent saving was 0. My goal for next quiz is to get all the questions right again and get a meets. 

Once again, I'm disappointed in myself and the grade I got on this test. I got a meets, which sounds good in retrospect, but I've been doing extra work so I know all about this unit, so I was hoping to get an exceeds, but instead I got a meets because I made two simple mistakes. I know why I messed up, but I still wish I could do better. On the workbook check, I did better because I got a meets +. In the book, there was a comment that read "great effort and detail!" I feel that I did a great job on the workbook because I explained my answers in detail, and also got them all right. Overall, my goal for the next unit is to get an exceeds on the end of unit test.

I had to take this test right when I joined advanced math. I didn't learn all the material I was tested on, so I got an approaching. While this was to be expected, I was a little disappointed because this was my first approaching this year. Because of this little setback, I chose to learn the material in class. Now, I know how to to the material I didn't before, and even though I got an approaching on the test, I'm well prepared for the next unit and whatever it has to throw at me. Something that I will work on for next final is to show my work on my test because I got a lot of questions wrong for that reason. 

Almost as soon as I started advanced math, we started learning about quadratic functions. We were asked to make a slideshow based on the prompt we were given. I chose to be with my friend Olive. We chose the rocket simulation, and we got to work. However, I couldn't present when we were supposed to because of a swim meet in Phoenix, so we had to present the following Monday. I got a Meets-, and I will try to get an exceeds or meets+ next time. 

This unit was about quadratics, or a type of polynomial equation where the equation used is Ax^2 +Bx+C. In this unit, we learned all sorts of ways to solve quadratic equations, from completing the square to factoring to the quadratic formula. I was really nervous for this final because I failed the last final because I got an approaching. However, I had no reason to be worried because I got a meets on my test, and I'm so proud of myself because I worked so hard. I answered some questions about my test from my teacher on a google doc, and here is that doc.
