The COL shows that i have mostly understood the basics of linear equations and relationships. Though, i also have more improvement space for critical thinking and statistics. After reviewing my COL, i also realized that most incorrect answers were due to me being not careful enough instead of not fully understanding the logic.Some of the mistakes i made were extremely unacceptable. I plan to fix this in the future by checking my answers after finishing a question rather than rushing to the next questions.

I chose question 3 (b) to reflect on. In this question i showed clear logic and got the correct answer. Yet when writing the conclusion, i wrote the wrong answer. This can clearly show my advantage and disadvantage.

Looking back at my goals at Unit 1. It was: In the next unit, I want to Push myself more and learn more things I didn’t know and relearn things to strengthen my base. Yet I realize that my biggest block is my own laziness. I plan on making clear plans and also asking parents to help.

I personally believe that i successfully achieved this goal. I worked very well and nothing got in way of my goal. Making a calendar for my tasks helped me very well on the way.

During this semester, i believe i have 3 strengths

1.a strong perseverance

2.a clear goal

3.strong curiosity

My goals for Unit 3 is to:

1.achieve all 3’s for L3’s and 3.5’s for L4’s.

2.to not have an y problems incorrect due to simple mistakes

3.bad habits might get in my way of this goal

If i get stuck trying to reach my goals, i will reach out for parents and teachers.

In this project, i worked with my classmate to design a math problem related to linear functions that is about a story. I learned how to efficiently work with someone else and mainly had a deeper understanding of what makes up a linear function and how it works.

In later projects like this, i would further improve by also asking teachers for more advising and suggestions. I would also be more aware of the learning process. I would also be able to do it even better with a partner by using the skills i learned.

Select two questions from the Unit 1 Celebration of Learning that reflect your best thinking in this unit:

1.    I chose Question 8 (identify the question) as evidence of my best thinking because in this question, I was able to accurately show my logic and thinking demonstrating my ability to solve problem with exact logic.

2.    I chose Question 6 (identify the question) as evidence of my best thinking because in this question, I did not just simply write how I solved the question but also the logic behind it.

3.    Throughout this unit, I improved the most at solving questions in quality and not just simply rush through everything.

4.    I feel that I still need to work on vocabulary.

5.    List three of your strengths so far this year.

(1) Accuracy on solved problems.

(2) Speed on finishing large amounts of problems

(3) Well-knitted logic

6.    List three things you want to improve on in the next unit.

(1)Knowledge on different math vocabulary

(2)Advanced functions

(3)Better ways to learn math

 7.    Create an academic goal by completing the sentences and answering the questions.

In the next unit, I want to Push myself more and learn more things I didn’t know and relearn things to strengthen my base. Yet I realize that my biggest block is my own laziness. I plan on making clear plans and also asking parents to help.
