1. Name at least two new math concepts you learned this week?
I forgot sorry😭
2. Name three study activities you learned this week?
3. What was you favorite part of this week?
I meet a new person called Moe, she is SUCH A BRILLIANT.😭😭😭😱😱
4. How do you feel about math?
(2 or 3 sentences)
Math is very interesting and it give me a feeling like I am a smart person after solving a problem. Some question is easy but some is very hard.
I sometime make mistakes at factor's operations especially at word problem. It's hard because that the finding prime factor is tricky and hard. Although it was hard but it was interesting too! You can play Gimkit and learn, I hope I can improve and have less skill issue.

3. Was this week harder or easier than the past weeks?
4. How do you feel about mathematics? (2 or 3 sentences)
I think I did better than I thought, the question is easy but complicated.I think I ain't getting better on it (sorry Mr. Francis) because we learn same thing I have learn through over grade 6.This week is much more nervous actually because I thought the test is just like the SUPER EVIL TEST when the semester started.I feel like math is a customizing thing, I can make it hard or easy instantly.It was a very mysterious thing.
Week 6 Reflection
What are new things you learned in math this week?
Are you able to identify math concepts in the notes given?
How are you working with your team members?
What type of board game do you want to make?
What is your favorite Gimkit game? Why?
(write as a paragraph )
I learned that play and learn is a high quality learning way.The reason is that it provide a happy and chill learning area, students will study harder to get higher score on the game.I can mostly identify math concepts in the notes given because it write the main idea on the name😅.I work with my teammates well and found that it was OK to cooperate with them.I was now thinking about make a monopoly all about math, I think it will be fun.Although we haven't play Knock-back mode in Gimkit during math class, but I strongly recommend to play it, it is very fun.
How was the experience of making the study guide?
Do you feel like writing your own notes helped you understand the math you are learning better?
Were the instructions clear enough or are you still confused what to do to make your study guide?
How do you feel about doing worksheets in math class? (Too many, too few, too easy, too hard?)
Do you want more individual work or group work?
What is one thing the teacher can do to help you learn better?
What is one thing you can do to help yourself learn better in math class?
(Write your answer as a paragraph)
I feel like writing my own notes helped me to understand the math better. Because the notes you write are YOURS, not teachers.Also, I thought that the instruction from Mr.Francis aren't clear enough, I am now still confuse about what will the method be :( .The worksheet from the class is all fun, but maybe to give more time to write it.I prefer to write them with group work, because it will be easier.I think that teacher can add something that is a bit harder(I am not saying it was too easy or something, believe me), because I feel like l am practice and reviewing the content I have learnt through the grade 6.

6. Were there new words you have never seen before? Do you think you are getting better at doing Mathematics in English?
Are there any other things you would like to say?
I did bad on it, I leave 2 blank pages, I did worse than I thought. I think I didn't did better on math, I keep making mistake, the Panama trip bring too much payback ;-;. The test is harder than I thought it would be. And I did almost 0 practice because I just go to Panama for competition. I don't think I got enough time, 50 minutes for 50 question is too hard. I do did well on Math English, but I didn't improve.
1. Describe your experience presenting your Study Guide? (minimum 4 sentences)
2. Were the instructions clear? Were instructions given early enough? Did you follow instructions or do you own thing? (3 days)
3. What do you think you could have done better and what do you think you did well?

5. If your presentation was good or bad because of your teammates describe your feeling or explain what happened. (minimum 2 sentences)
6. What did you learn about teamwork from this experience?
Are there any other things you would like to say?
When I presenting my study guide, I feel quite confident. Because I am sure that I can say anything even if I'm alone, I have practice it for lots of time. Although I know I can, but my teammate also can! So I say less than normal, maybe you can't notice, because I usually say a lot, so I say less is how much normal people say. I think all the instructions are very clear and we can understand it easily. But I think that maybe can tell earlier because it is a bit busy to do it and we finish it just when deadline almost pass. We follow all the instruction and I am really satisfy of our presentation. If the presentation go bad because me, I will be very sad and I might cry depend at how bad it is. But if the presentation go good because me, I will be very proud of myself and I will be happy for whole day. I learn that team works is really important, because that we got less tome to do it, so we must separate the works. With the team works, we can finish it on time.
1. Are you excited about your boardgame? Do you think your team can finish on time?
2. Have you completed your Google Doc Summaries, Flash Cards, Canva book and Boardgame? Do you feel like you are able to be creative with this project? Are you enjoying creating you own book and boardgame and showing it to other people?
3. Can you explain the connection between these four documents (from q2) and why they are all apart of project 1?(I can't understand what it means so I skip)
4.What have you learned about team work through doing this project? Did you have a good experience or a bad experience? What could you do better next time? How could you communicate to fix things next time?
5. Did doing project 1 help you better understand the Mathematics we are learning for Quiz 2? Do you feel like you are get better or more comfortable with Mathematics in English?
6. Do you think a project should only be done in class or should also include working at home?
7. Are you able to do a presentation about your boardgame and Canva book? Do you think presentations in education are effective? Why?
I am excited to finish all the board game and play with it, but I think we still need more time. We have completed the Google Doc Summaries. But those thing (Flash Cards, Canva book and Boardgame) still need more time. I think I am enjoying creating my own book and boardgame and showing it to other people. We learn teamwork by separate the work fairly to each other. We did well on the cooperation, but we sometime can't find other at home, so we might add discord or line to each other. I feel like I'm better at ORGANIZING but not MATH, because I feel like we are summarizing math, not learning math. I think it's okay to do at home, bt don't spend too much time on it during sleep time. We still work on thr=e canva book, yeah, I think it is effective because it is quite easy to understand and it is very good.
1. How prepared do you feel for Final exams?
2. Did you miss Gimkit and are you happy to be playing Gimkit games again?

4. Do you think you could read your own study guide to prepare for Final Exam?
5. How has your team changed since working on your project? Are you going to choose team mates differently moving forward, either in math class or in school in general?
I think I have prepared everything, work sheets, work books, and all the review on study guide. THANK YOU MR.FRANCIS, I really miss all the gimkit we played before. I really love the excitement and the fun during snow brawl, snowy survival, tag, capture the flag and knock back, I love them. I often write the practice sheets or book to review and practice, they are really effective. I think I can read my ow n study guide to review the final exam, but it will be hard to do it because there are too much content inside. We didn't contact as normal and frequently ass before, because there is no need t do so. However, we still chat in school and in class, they are all my good(or best) friends.
1. Did you encounter any interesting problems within the practice work done this week?
2. Did you think that so many situations in real life use mathematics?
3. Were your friends able to help you with problems you do not understand or are you able to help your friends?
4. How do you feel about math class? Is the work too difficult or too easy?
5. Do you have enough time to complete tasks or not enough time to complete tasks or even too much time?
6. Do you like solving problems on your own and seeing if you are right? Do you prefer the teacher to do all the problems and then you try?
Actually, I have no problem with doing the works, therefore I don't need to worried with encounter the problem ◑ω◐. I think that so many situations in real life use mathematics. Such as win rate, proportion of the sugar and water in a drink, and lots of things. My friend (William) helps me a lot on math, when I have a question of understanding the questions, he helps me and translate them(thank you William ><). I think the math class is VERY suitable to me, because there are both work time and game time(GIMKIT FRENZY!!!!). I finish all of my task on time, and I feel that I can manage it better after train by Mr.Francis.
1. Think back to Week 1 in September. How have you changed as a math student since then? Do you feel more confident or less confident now?
2. We have shifted from doing fast calculations to solving long, multi-step problems. How do you feel about this change? Do you feel prepared for the 90-minute Final Exam?
3. Reviewing your semester, what is the one thing you are most proud of? (It could be a project, a specific test score, a new friendship, or understanding a hard topic).
4. Has your ability to understand and speak Mathematics in English improved? Is it easier to read the questions now than it was in Week 1?
5. If you could go back in time and give yourself advice in Week 1, what would you say?
6. What is one goal you have for Math class for next semester?
Are there any final words or thoughts you would like to share with Mr. Francis as we finish this semester?
I change a lot, before, I am not timely and I often forgot there are homework, but now, I successful hand in all the task on time, I also improve my Gimkit skill, I can be the last survivor on snowy survival :) .I think the change from doing fast calculations to solving long, multi-step problems is a good change. Before, we use calculator more, now, we do brainstorm more. I feel prepared for my 90 mins Exam, hope I did better than last time. I am proud of my luck, I did gimkit pack and I successful got 2 mythic!!!! I can understand more math vocabulary, and it is really important for doing questions. And it is much more easier to read the question than week 1. I will tell myself to always bring the calculator, because I use it every math class. I hope I can understand more math symbol in next semester.
