Algebra 

• A linear equation is a  equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph.

• A example of a Linear equation is: 2x – 3 = 0, 2y = 8, m + 1 = 0, x/2 = 3, x + y = 2, 3x – y + z = 3. This is just a random one that I found but it shows how to find X and the equation to solve it. 

• On this test I got 9.5/17 which is an approaching. I got this grade because I was absent on that day so I did not know what we where doing in class. I also did not study that much on the practice test. I will study more on the practice test and ask for help when needed. Overall, I could have done better on this test. 

On this test I got 28 out of 40 

• What areas of the assessment did you find challenging.

Some of the areas I found challenging were the two-step equations. I did not understand these from the start but I also missed the day we did we did this so I just took my best guess. I also struggled with Variables on Both Sides of Equal Sign I was doing good on the practice test but then I got confused on the test. I also did not do good on checking my work. 

• What strategies did you use to tackle those challenging areas?

I took time to study on my test and I asked for help with things that I did not understand. I also asked my peers for help when needed NOT during the test. I can try and get a better grade by doing test corrections to boost by grade. 

• What areas of the assessment did you feel confident in, and what strategies helped you success in those areas?'

The part of the test I did do the best on was the One-Step Equations. I think I did best on it because it was the eastist to do and I understood it most. Something I did to succeed in this part of the test was spent most time on it. 

• Create a goal for the next assessment 

A goal that I want to have for next time is to take more time to study and make sure I know what I am doing. I also want to try and get a meets on the test. 

The ling term learning target for systems of equations is " I can solve systems of equations using graphing, elimination, and substitution methods, and determine which method is most effective for a given problem."

Systems of equations test:

1. What areas of the assessment did you find challenging? 

The main area that I struggled with on this test was Substitution method. This was the method that I got the most questions wrong on. I also still do not understand the elimination method. The method that stuck with me the most was graphing. 

2. What strategies did you use to tackle those challenging areas?What areas of the assessment did you feel confident in, and what strategies helped you succeed in those areas?

I used my resources such as friend's or classmates and my teachers to help me better understand the topic. I think the topic that I did best in was graphing like I said before. I think that this stuck with me the most because it is a lot easier to work with. The graph you don't have to do as much math and I really like that.  Some strategies that helped me succeed in those areas are working on them on a practice test or working my hardest and knowing that it is hard and that's ok. 

What was the purpose of these assignments? 

• To show what you know. We can also show what we have learned in a fun and engaging way.  

What was your grade and why did you get this grade?

• I got an excess I did an extension which challenged me 

What was something you are proud of from this assignment?
