Some things we have learned in this unit are how to decompose shapes and find a shapes area including two and three dimensional shapes.
In this unit we are learning how a ratio is a relation ship between types of quantities and we will be leaning the difference between rates ratios, and percentages.
When I took my unit 1 assessment I felt like I put so much hard work. I even did extra. I wrote explanations on every page even when it said you did not need to. although I got the grade a approaching my teacher helped my mistakes and I got a meets.
I feel like one thing I can do better next time is take my time more because on one question I just over looked it and just circled my answer. I feel like when I do this I miss the question and just show the answer. I need to take my time and be able to read the whole question.
One habit of heart and mind I had when doing my assessment was refinement. I checked my work over and over again although I rushed one of my problems. I still did lots of refinement on my project. I also think I had the habit of heart and mind respect. I did not get angry and just rip, tar, and poke my paper I just used it how it was supposed to be used.
One way I can apply this to my future by knowing that I can do better on looking over my work because I misted one question and it was one way my grade was affected.
When I took my exit ticket I thought a lot about taking my time. Maybe I thought a little bit too much about taking my time because I did not get to the last two problems of the exit ticket. although one of the questions was a challenge problem I still didn't get to it. I got a meets and was sad that I didn't get to the last two problems. although I would ratter take my time then rush and get a lower grade.
One thing I think I can do better next time is not think a exit ticket is no big deal when I did the exit ticket I thought that it was small and was not important, but I still took my time and that got me to a meets. So now I know that when we do tests I should not over look it and take my time.
The habits of heart and mind I used wile taking my test was effort I put a lot of refinement as well. I took a good amount of time looking at my answers. I refined and checked things over. I also did a lot of effort, I showed what I knew and showed what I didn't know.
One way I can apply this to my future is by knowing that next time I take a test I can manage my time more wisely because I could have just done the questions I knew and then came back to the questions I didn't know.
When I took my unit 2 assessment I felt like I had time to do it. I was on topic and was taking my time I had finished the first page. Then teacher had told us we would have until Friday so I knew I would finish my test by then. But what I didn't know was that after the weekend on Monday we didn't do the test and then on Tuesday it was our exhibition. And then on Wednesday the teacher graded them. The teacher said we had until FRIDAY but noooo! she just wanted to cut our time early! I am a little bit mad about this and frustrated because I got a bad grade and had to take the test into my own time when she said until Friday. I went home and finished my test and got a good grade.
One thing I think I can do better next time is not spend to much time on one problem I would rather move on, get other questions done, and then work on the one I'm stuck on.
One of the habits of heart and mind I had while taking my test was refinement. before giving back my test to my teacher I looked at my answers and then handed it in. Another habit of heart and mind I demonstrated was effort. I put a lot of effort into my math test because I put in my best work and that got me to a good grade.
In unit four we worked on Expanded form, Distributive Property, and Evaluating Expressions. How I felt on Expanded form was good but I could always in prove. In evaluating expressions I felt like I understood it I just didn't know why we needed to to that. I understood Distributive Property.
For Unit 5 I got the grade a meets but I don't feel like I got a meets because I got every page at least one marking that said it was wrong. I felt like when we did this test I was ready to do ii but there was so much I had not expected or accounted for. I also just short of messed up because when it clearly said to label something I didn't label it.
