• The part of chapter 1 that I am most comfortable with is all types of factoring and making sure that indexes are common on radicals before multiplying them.

• The most difficult part of chapter 1 for me is word problems, and rationalizing the denominator.

• I usually learn new material best when I practice it over and over until I understand it well.

• I plan to prepare for the unit test by doing extra workbook questions, looking over the homework, and making sure my answers are correct. I plan to study more on the parts I am less sure about.

• I have already or I have not yet completed all the assigned practice problems.  If not, explain when you plan to complete them. I already have.

• 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.” To me, this statement means learning the material well by staying on top of all homework and studying. It means that if there is something I don’t understand, I study it more and get help by someone who does understand it. This also means keeping your goals in mind to drive yourself to do well and study.
