CORE COMPETENCY ASSESSMENTS

Working Collaboratively with Others

In this course, I was able to work with people that I was not familiar with at first. I was able to engage in the group activities and contribute some ideas on how to solve certain questions. Whenever it isn’t my turn to answer, I still give my full attention so that I am able to figure out how to answer that certain question.As a group, we reflected our notes into our work which enabled our group to finish almost every question. We worked well together and the people in my group managed to make every unit easier for me to understand.

Learning and using math Vocabulary

I was able to understand and use math vocabulary in this course. During a previous write up, I was able showcase my knowledge and incorporate math vocabulary in my work. When reading the workbook or going over the notes, I am able to understand the terms used. However in the workbook, I still encounter words that I don’t understand. I use my knowledge of different math vocabulary in quizes and tests as well as Photomath and the internet when I need to get more understanding of a unit. I sometimes have trouble understanding certain terms. In that case, I would typically ask for assistance from the teacher or my classmates.

Dealing with Challenges

A major struggle I encountered this semester for math is time management. In class, I manage my time efficiently and attempt to finish most my work however I come across questions that take up most my class time. At home, I attempt to do unfinished questions from that day or from previous chapters. If time at home isn’t enough, I try to dedicate at least one flex block for math each week. Math often takes me longer to understand and it also takes up much of my time so I always end up pushing it aside to do other work which causes my work to pile and it ends up doubling my work.

Advice

My advice to anyone taking Pre-Calc 11 would be to focus in class. You might not be occupied with your phone however you still need to give your full attention. Dont get distracted by other thoughts and try your best to focus. Asking quwsrions is also really important. When your stuck or ran out of options, it is better to asl help from people around you or the tescher. Lastly, when you study for a test remember to look at previous groupworks to get a feeling of what the test is like.
