1st Trimester Reflections

1st Trimester Reflections

1. So far in math this year I am very proud of my test grade that I got a good grade on.

2. I wish that I had done better on corrections for my homework, tests and quizzes.

3.Yes, Algebra has challenged me. Focusing in class has challenged me this year. Also

standard form has challenged me while we were doing slope.

4. I feel like I have mastered function, direct variation, graphing equations and y-intercept slope

form.

5. Goals: 1. I want to focus more in class and not talk. I will accomplish this by not getting

distracted by the people around me. Also really concentrate on the lesson not the people next to

me even if they are talking.

2. I want to do corrections on tests and homework assignments. I will accomplish this by

being more organized, I usually forget to do corrections and that could help improve my grade.
