1. what do I do?  I am doing study guide.

2. how do I do it?  I will find a partner(Mr.Francis pick) and discuss together.

3. who do I do with? I'm not sure...

4. why is it important? Because it's a note which help me.

5. what is driving question of project 1?how to use data to improve study?

6. how will I know my project 1 is work? asking teacher

I completely boom the test, I fail it, I feel sad about my performance . I know there is lots if thing I am bad at, but how will it possible for me to got 40 percent?! I don't understand of CIRCLES,PERCENTS AND RATES,and SURFACE AREA AND VOLUME.But I also improve a lot!I'm better on number relationship, especially multiple.I think I can learn more on Data and Graphs .This week,I feel nervous to new teacher, but I am curios at how will teacher teach.

1. How do you think you did on the quiz? 

2. Was the quiz too hard or too easy? why? 

3. Did you feel prepared for the quiz?

4. What were somethings you did to prepare for the quiz? 

5. What were some things you wish you did to prepare for the quiz? 

6. What would you do differently to prepare for the quiz?

I think I did quite nice, because I get 99/100 on the test!! I was really satisfy of my performance (by the way the highest score is 99/100). I think the test difficulty is nice  and suitable for me and I think it is quite easy, can be more challenging because I finish it quickly and easily. I feel prepared for the quiz because the day before the quiz, my mom tell me to review it for over and over again. I also do some word problem create by chatGPT and I spend some time on it. I wish there can be more practice and let myself to remember to show all working for me to get the 1 point back. If I can go back, I all tell myself to use less calculator so I can have a habit for show ALL working . 

1.  Do you understand the steps to create your study guide?

2. What have you completed so far in the study guide?

3. What do you still have left to do?

4. How do you feel about making your study guide?

5. Are you able to work with your group to create a study guide?

6. What is the difference between stating a definition and explaining a concept?

7. When you turn your study guide (which will be a book) into a board game, what board game would you like to make?

I understand how math study guide works now, and I did well on it, I have complete everything I can think, and I think the quality is quite good. However, I believe that I can still do better fro the study guide such as more detailed and more examples. We work well and we cooperate together and fairly separate all the works we should have done. Actually, definition and concept is very similar but it got a difference which affect a lot. Definition is 1~2 sentence, and concept is a whole paragraph. I will like to make a timer game which will like there is a countdown and when the timer start, players answer the question by a order, last guy who make the timer ring lose, but there are lots of improvements we can make. 

1. How do you think you did on the quiz?

2. How do you feel about math class in general?

3. Was the quiz too hard or too easy? why?

4. Did you feel prepared for the quiz?

5. Did you do better or worse on the test than you thought? What do you think about how you performed on the test?

6. What topics do you think you still need to practice or do you think need to be taught again?

7. Do you think doing project 1 helped you to do better on the quiz?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did so BAD at the test!!! I hate my trash brain!  I got 2 blank page, god, I got a bad grade, god dang!! However, I got 67% which is such a coincidence. I got pass right, but I believe that this is the WORST GRADE I EVER GOT. Enough, I got enough. Overall, class is good, Mr.Francis is good, works are good, everything is good.  But I think that the test give too less time, 50 min for 50 questions is way too much for me.I didn't prepare the test at all, because I was at oversea, once I just arrive, I got the information that tomorrow is the day test is coming. I think I did so bad because I leave 2 blank pages, dang. I now understand all of the knowledge, thanks the all work sheets and work book.  I think the study guide also helps a lot because I can review whenever I want!

1. Now that your project is complete, are you impressed with what you are able to make?

2. Did you begin to understand the math better by writing explanations yourself?

3. Was your team able to work together at the end to meet the deadline or did you end up doing all the work? Describe how you feel about this situation, what did you do to create this situation, what can you do to get a better outcome?

4. How did you and your team mates settle disagreements within the group? How did you motivate each other to keep going?

5. Which part of the instructions were unclear during project? What parts of the project do you think could have been explained better? 

6. Did you make any mistakes in following the instructions for project 1? When did you realize you misunderstood instructions? How did you correct any mistakes?

7. We began the project on Sept. 18th and worked on it through Oct. and Nov. How well did you use your time? Do you think there was enough time for the project? Which part of the project do you think needed more time?

8. Do you think this project is a good for math class and should it be done again next (with a different set of grade 7 students).

I am impress with what I just done, it is truly a hard task. I understand some subject(or you can say part) better by writing explanation myself. I think the reason is I have my own example and I write the own method, it is really important. We also finish the all task on time, but we can do better, such as pages adjust, and content be more detailed. We discuss together and ask Lotus if there are any questions or idea, we sent the messages on the google chat of our self. There are no part that needs improve for the instruction, the instructions are clear and easy to understand. During project one, I accidentally forgot to do the method of study guide U6, so I quickly add them up and paste it into canva book.

1. When you first look at a long, multi-step word problem, what is the first emotion you feel? (Examples: Excited, Nervous, Confused, Confident). Why do you feel that way? 

 2. Earlier this year, we focused on quick calculations. Now, we are focusing on logic and problem-solving. Which style of math do you find more difficult, and why? 

3. The final exam will be 90 minutes long. During our in-class practice, did you feel tired after focusing for a long time? How will you keep your energy up during the real exam? 

4. We practiced by doing the work first, then looking at the teacher’s explanation of the logic. Did seeing the 'story' behind the answer help you understand better than just seeing the final number? Please explain. 

5. Think about the mistakes you made on the practice sheets this week. Were your mistakes mostly Calculation Errors (wrong addition/multiplication) or Logic Errors (did not understand what to do)? What does this tell you about what you need to study? 

6. Since the exam is mostly multi-step problems, what is one specific strategy you will use when you get stuck on a hard question? (Example: Draw a picture, re-read the question, write down known numbers). 

I feel that it will be a nightmare of finish whole the work sheet when I see whole page multi-step word problem. I feel it that way because I know that I need to brainstorm a lot. I think the change from doing fast calculations to solving long, multi-step problems is making math harder. Before, we use calculator more, now, we do brainstorm more. I think I was able to lock-in in that 90 mins, because I never feel tired after all the practice. I guess I will just do normal to finish this 90 mins. I see the "story" behind the answer help me understand better than just seeing the final number. The story is that teacher want us to think more and understand how we get the answers. I didn't do any error of those worksheets, but if I, it must be logic error because I use calculator so there will be no calculate error. I will draw a simple picture to help me to understand the questions.

1.Looking back at the semester, what do you think went well and what new things did you learn?

2. What are something you like to improve? 

3. What did you learn about teamwork? How did your project 1 teach you teamwork, or use the teamwork skills you have?

4. What are some of the goals for next semester?

5. Next semester, we'll teach algebra, statistics, and geometry. Which of these topics do you know the most about? 

6.Next semester, we'll teach algebra, statistics, and geometry. Which of these topics do you know the least about? 

7.What are some skills that you want to improve in math class next semester?

Looking back at semester, I really learned a lot of things. First, I'm more advanced at using a calculator. Second, I understand that calculations and workings are very important to get a good score. Then, I understand what is flashcard and how to do the study guide in order to help us practice and review the chapter that we do worst. I would like to improve my calculation skills,  because sometimes if I don't have a calculator, I may have some stupid mistakes while calculating some simple calculations. During Project 1, I really learned about team work. Lotus, William Cooper, and I often separated the work together and made our efficiency higher. Also, we can talk our way better, and sometimes we can even do way more faster than how others could do. For next semester, I want to improve my GSP decoration and also arrangement because now it looks a bit messy and also it is very boring, just text and nothing others.  I understand most about algebra, because William has app called Brilliant which got a lot of training exercises, and I often go on it to practice. Also, I have a cram school that would teach us math, and there is algebra chapter inside. Now, I practice a lot, and I am a bit confident with algebra. After looking at all the topics that we will learn about, I found that Geometry might be the least understood chapter I have. The reason is that it was really complicated, and while I was seeing these little pictures and all the little shapes, I have no idea how should I calculate out their value or their area. For next semester, I hope I can increase my calculating skills so I can be better and more efficient while doing the exercises. I also hope that I can improve my attitude and patience while doing hard questions because it was really easy to get range quits when I was doing hard math questions.
