Some strengths I bring into math class is completing my work, fun between my classmates, and being active in activities class.
One thing I need to improve is to talk more in class, so I can boost my confidence and also learn more.
I will work on this habit by raising my hand more and volunteering instead of being voluntold.
NOTATION AND COMMUNICATION:
I think my math work has been more organized and clean, and I am able to write more clear explanations now.
UNDERSTANDING KEY CONCEPTS:
Some things I think that highlight my learning are when I did my sticker project. I think the project highlighted my ability to be able to create things out of shapes and transformations
This example shows i understand how transformations work and also area and prime notation. I was able to make an “art piece” out of my skills of transforming and also prime notation.
Overall, my work shows I can understand key concepts like transformations or volume.
My story was about a person named Jack who was participating in a biking race and how his bike broke during the race and had to fix it.
Im most proud of my graphing skills and my understanding on piecewise functions because at first, I didn’t really understand what piecewise functions were, but after a bit of research and help from my peers, I understood the concept and managed to create the story and the graph based on a piecewise function.
The hardest part on creating my piecewise function was making sure that my function made sense for the story. For example, I couldn’t just say that his bike broke every 5km which would be a little unrealistic.
I wouldn’t revise anything about this project, I think this project is designed well and helps my understanding.
This project helped me better understand what a piecewise function is and how to identify one.
The purpose of the project is to let us understand how different relationships work in the world. My Primary conclusion of my analysis is that this was an unhealthy relationship since it involved cheating. The reason it wasn’t abusive is that they didn’t abuse each other physically and mentally.
Something I learned about a healthy relationship is that each person should respect the others boundaries and is respectful to each other for it to be called a healthy relationship. One thing I learned about identities is that gender and sexuality are different, since people can feel male while being female.
I used think that mental health was just emotions and how a person was feeling. So for example, I used to think that mental health involved emotions like happy, sad, excited, etc. Some misconceptions I had is that some people with mental health issues are just crazy, like it was the stereotypical kind where a veteran was having flashbacks and was going absolutely crazy. Another misconception I had is that many of the school shootings happened because of a killer with mental health issues, since they were going crazy. But I realized that this wrong, and found out that people with mental health issues are more likely to be victims then to be the killer.
What I learned:
But now, I learned that mental health is more than just someones emotions going wrong. It can also revolve around someones experiences and their lifestyles. For example, PTSD revolves around a flashback and trauma, and Eating disorders can revolve around eating habits and lifestyles. I also learned the different types of mental health conditions and why people experience them. My perspective has changed from the classic, crazy, stressed out veteran to all kinds of people. For example, I now know that some people with depression will seem energetic and happy when they are outside in public or with friends, but inside, they’re “breaking” apart.
Some thing I’m proud about this class is My note-taking during class because I have many useful notes in my notebook that help me learn.
I have been struggling a bit on my 3 for 3s and I feel like I need to be more consistent.
I have been fully focused in class and barely get off-task. I keep a positive attitude and I reflect to improve. Something I want to improve is to review more of the material so I can be consistent on my assessments and my 3 for 3s.
My current goal for science is to engage more in class and enter more discussions and answer more questions. Although I haven’t achieved this goal yet, I have slowly answered questions by volunteering myself. My progress isn’t great, but I’ll get to my goal.
