Quarter 3

In the third quarter of math we did a test on chapter five. We learned all the stuff from our math textbook. We had to complete 25 questions in two periods of math to finish the test. We did this test in the end of the third quarter.



The purpose of this test was to review what we learned. I learned about GCF and LCM. We had to make factor trees and find which numbers are common. this was a very hard test. I did not study allot so that affected my grade.

If I could do the test over again I would study more and concentrate. I would also not rush through the test and use all the time that is given and check my work when I am finished.

Quarter 3


In the third quarter we did many test and projects. I chose to reflect on my third POW. We do these every week. we get them off of blackboard and print them from the math folder. We did this activity in third third week of the third quarter.

The purpose of this activity is to help us with our problem solving skills. The steps are what do you know/what do you want to find out, how will you solve the problem, solving the problem and look back/prove your answer is reasonable.

After doing many of these POWs I have learened that if you follow all the steps you will get a good grade. Now I do all the steps so I can raise my math grade. We do these every week.

Quarter 2

The piece I chose to reflect on fo rthe second quarter was the chapter three test. It was very hard but I got a good grade on the test. We did this test early in the second quarter. We had two math periods to finish the test.

The purpose of this test was to see what we learned after studying the chapter. The test was about things we already covered like multiplying and dividing decimals. It took me one class period to finish because I found the test very easy.

If I could the test over again I would read the directions carefully and take my time by not rushing through . If I did this I would have gotten a better grade. Now when I do my test I read the directions and check my work.

Quarter 1

In the first quarter of math we did many projects. The project I chose to reflect on was the scale drawing project. We did this late in the third quarter. We were in groups and had to measure different places and make a scale drawing.

The purpose o f this activity was to learn about scale drawing. My group had to measure the conference room in the LRC. We measured the tables, windows, the lenght and the width. It was hard drawing the scale drawing because we ahd to do alot of calculations of the size so that the drawing would fit on the paper.

If I could the project again I would draw better and color beter so we could have gotten a better grade. It was a very fun but hard project but I enjoyed it alot. I hope we do more projects like this in the future.
