Math Mindset
The "myth" of a math person is that you either can do math and enjoy it or you don't. when in reality math is not a trait but a skill to be cultivated accross time. one you improve with practice just like any other skill no matter who you are, you have to work to understand it. Mistakes are importaint in math class so that you can grow. Imaginge you got every question right on a begining of unit or end of unit test. You wouldnt really learn anything would you? To me math is a vital part of the world, implementing itself in jobs and everyday life. It helps answers questions about our universe and solve mysteries of our own world. Im a confident human being who strives to exel at not only math but more. Some steps I will take to improve over time are realizing what I need to improve on and taking lessons in open up resources like Khan academy, Delta math, IXL, and even prodigy.
x + 2 > 7
To solve this you must begin by minusing 2 from each side.
Then because this is simple, the answer is 5.
You MUST do the same thing to each side, no matter what.
During this unit we learned about inequalities and algebraic equations. Over the course of the unit we did Delta Math and math quests. At the end we were tasked with finishing a quiz on Delta Math, I achieved a 65% which is 5% less than the grade you needed for a Meets. I ended up taking a quiz to repair my grade and I fixed it to be a 95%. From now on I want to study more before the test so that I'm ready for anything, especially the problems that I struggled with on the practice test.
Solve f(x) = x + 1 given F(12)
To solve this function you first put the input (12) into the equation: f(12) = 12 + 1
Then from here it's pretty simple you add 12 + 1, thus the answer is 13
Solve h(p) = 4x + 15 given h(p) = 6
To solve this you put the input into the equation (6): 6 = 4x + 15
Then you solve this like any other inequality: 15 - 15 then 6 - 15 then -9/4 then 4/4
The answer is 2.25.
During this unit test we covered functions, functions on/with graphs, rate of change/slope, equations, and intervals of increase and decrease. I was given a Meets+ due to the fact that I made a few mistakes on some problems. I took a test revisions paper so I could improve my grade to the one I have now. I don't think that I really struggled with anything too much. After the practice test I remembered things better, but I still made a few simple mistakes. I found growth factors in linear and exponential equations, equations, domain and range, and y and x intervals to be the easiest, they just seemed simpler to me. My goal for the next test is too use my refinement skills to look over my answers to make sure that I did them right.
