Term 1 Reflection
Term 1 was a good start to the year. At first I learned 3 steps in solving a problem. They were simple sentence, math information, and outrageous answer. It really helped me organize my work. Next, we learned about ratio, rate, and proportion. On a sheet of paper, We had to write the definiton of each of them. We also did a video about ratio, rate, and proportion it was also related to Sesame Street. Even though it was frusterating at times, it was also a lot of fun..

We also learned about square roots and how to sqaure a number. We also learned about Prime factorization. At first i found everything very confusing but as I put more time and effor in to my work everthihng became easier. . Pythagoras was another lesson that we learned. We learned that a triangle is made up of 2 legs and a hypotenuse. The shorter lines are called legs and labelled A and B, it does not matter which leg you label. The longest line is called hypotenuse which is labelled C. This was one of the easier things for me in term 1.

All the work Mr.Harbeck assigned is completed. For the quizzes, I suprised myself on how well i did for most of them. In term 2 and for the rest of the year i will try and study for a pay more attention in class. When making a scribe I always include a video, pictures, links. I would also like to go on the blog more and look at other people's work for ideas and more extra help.

My goal for term 2 is to get a better mark and to put more effort in to my work and to be more concentrated.. I would also like to complete and hand in my assignments on time. I would also like to look at other peoples scribe post and leave comments. I would also like to try to study more and to actually know my work and not just guess on tests/quizzes.

Term 2 Reflection
I n term 2 i did very well on finding the volume and surface area of shapes such as cylinders, and prisms. I did well in this term because i followed the formula and followed the instructions given. I did very well on the tests and did most of my homework. My friends really helped me get through this term, by reminding me to stay on task and to refresh me on the formulas. I think i can do better next term by reading the question over twice, to make sure i know what the question is asking me. I also should pay more attention in class and improve on double-checking my answers. Also i would like to try and memorize all the formulas. I learned a lot about Percent, Total Surface Area, and Volume. I learned how to find and combine percents. I got most of the things but one thing that confused me, was finding the TSA ( total surface area), I learned how to draw nets , this is another thing that confused me. With the help of my friends, these things became easy for me. Not only did i know how to find the TSA, i knew how to find it using 2 different formulas.At first i struggled with almost everything in this unit. But with the help of my friends I learned how to do everything without any help. Even though this unit was very confusing at times. From practice and studying i now know almost everything you need to know about prisms and cylinders.
