In math we are learning about area and surface area. My goal for math is to do better at geometry. I am going to work towards this goal by really trying to understand the subject by working harder.
Some things we have learned in this unit are how to decompose shapes and find shape's area including two and three dimensional shapes.
In this unit we are learning how a ratio is a relationship between types of quantities and we will be learning differences between rates, ratios, and proportions.
Reflection: For the unit 2 test, I think I did pretty good considering I thought I was going to flunk. The mark I got was a meets, And I'm proud of it. When I go into math class, my attitude is sometimes not very good because math is my least favorite subject, but most of the time, my attitude is decently good. For what I did get done on the percents quiz, I got a meets. I feel like I did a good job on it, but I forgot to do a problem. My attitude when I did the quiz was, "I am going to do well!"
On the unit test, I got a meets, but when we all got the test back, no matter what grade we got, we all had to take it home so the kids who got a grade that they didn't like, they could refine and get a better grade. then you take it back into class and turn it in a 2nd time. But Mr. Brothers said that if it didn't hand it back the 2nd time, your grade would go down, and I forgot to do it, so my grade went down to approaching. My goal for next time is to remember to hand it in the 2nd time.
In the unit 2 exit ticket, I tried my best on all of the questions, but I got 1/2 credit on 1 of them because I put 2 visual examples of basically the same thing, but I was supposed to put a number line. My grade was almost perfect, I got a 3 and 1/2 out of 4. My goal for next time is to refine my work so those kinds of mistakes aren't made.
This unit was about solving for pi and solving for one. I thought this was one of the most challenging units because it was a whole new concept, but I caught on and got a meets on the test. I couldn't get problem 6 because I didn't get it, so I just did a challenge problem instead and got 1/2 credit, and that pushed me up to a meets. A habit of heart and mind that I used during this assessment was integrity because I didn't cheat(I've never cheated before but I've seen people doing it).
