Going into math 9 was very different. It was a very different experience from what I did in grade 8. We have been learning through a faster pace which I do like. In math I struggled to remember to switch the signs in negative and positive equations. I think I knew what I was doing but my just didn’t move with my hands. I was a bit worried at the beginning of the year mostly cause at the start I was in a different math class that stressed me out too much but when I got to this class, I became relaxed. I don’t have anxiety for math, but I do get stressed if I don’t do as well as I think I should be. I strive to do well and so when I do below my expectations, I end up stressing myself up.

When I first got to class, I think I performed as I thought I should. I was a bit rusty because of the break but from what I remembered I am happy. I am proud of my review quiz, I did very well, and I am also proud that I am asking for help when I need it. I don’t usually need to much help, but I asked when I needed. 2 things I could improve on is staying a little more focused during class. Sometimes I get side tracked and go in my own world but then refocus. I also think my note taking could use a bit of work. For the next test I think that spending a bit more time practicing questions, like word problems would be good idea. I tend to struggle with word problems and so more practice on that would help me feel better prepared for the test.

I think my final grade would be an A, probably not the highest percentage of an A but a low A. I think that would be reasonable as I am a hard worker and I try hard to make sure I achieve my goals. I think studying more and asking for help more will me achieve an A. I want to do my best in math and so it’s important that I am always paying attention which I could do a bit more.  I would hold myself accountable for a bad grade. I would be upset with myself and would want to redo everything again. If my plan isn’t working, I could tell cause my grades aren’t holding up with my expectation but if I do well, I think it’s because my grades are going up and I am feeling more confident. Usually, my friends help me hold myself accountable and I can stay on task because of them.
