The part of chapter 1 that I am most comfortable with is radicals and how to deal with them. Learning these new concepts and learning how to apply them to the equations and expressions. The most difficult part of this chapter was learning how to analyze equations and factor accordingly. Identifying difference of squares, perfect squares and when to use decomposition was my largest struggle on the past quiz. I learn new concepts best when I’m actively testing the concept out with trial and error. To prepare for the test I am going to do most of the practice questions in the review section of the workbook. I have completed all assigned practice problems and I plan on doing more tonight. “I persevere with challenging tasks and take ownership of my goals, learning and behavior.” This statement means I try my best with ever task and I make sure to hold myself accountable to my own learning.

My poem

Rainy days

The smell of fresh rain fills the air. Dark clouds role overhead, No visible light in the sky. Underneath the thunder and rain there’s a peace. An uncertain calm that comes with the rain. A smooth refreshing silence as the rain blocks out all noise. Standing in the rain not caring if You get wet, not caring what happens next. You feel every drop land on your skin.

Core competency

I deliberately learn about things that interest me, and new ideas pop into my head.

Core Competency Reflection.

Collaboration

For this lab we had to work in groups and measure current through a circuit when adding light bulbs and gradually upping the voltage. Everyone in my group put in an effort to contribute, whether is was measuring the current, turning up the voltage, attaching the light bulbs or even just cleaning up the work space afterward. Once we all established roles we stuck too it, working smoothly as a team to complete the task.
