The part of unit 1 that I am most comfortable with is fractions. Unit one so far is pretty much just a review for middle school math, there isn’t anything that is too complicated or difficult. Fractions are fairly simple to understand and work with.

The most difficult part of unit 1 for me is probably working with groups. I don’t have any troubles with the math that we’re currently working with, but during group times, if not paired with my friends, then I’d be unable to stay active and communicate much.

I usually learn new material best when I listen to music. Music helps me focus and boosts my energy when I’ve lacked sleep for some days. They’re a really helpful learning tool for me. I also tend to make less mistakes when I’m listening to music.

I plan to prepare for the unit test by reviewing certain parts. I’m already confident with most of the math work, and the ways to solve them. Although in some cases, I’d forget about it completely. Therefore, I’ll do some quick reviews during my free times to prepare for the test.

I have already completed all the assigned practice problems.

Tell me what this statement means to you, in reference to math class: “I persevere with challenging tasks and take ownership of my goals, learning and behavior.”: Don’t give up when doing math problems that are really complicated, take time to fully understand it. Also do practices to help you glue that piece of information in your mind. Don’t blame others for when you get off task, or when you get distracted. Taking ownership means that you are responsible for what you do in class.
