Math Reflection •  My current grade in Math is: A

•  Does this grade reflect my ability? Why or why not? I think the letter grade reflects my ability, however the percentage does not. I feel I could have done better on my Chapter 8 Test-I received a 94%-which brought my grade down quite a bit. I feel I can do better on my Unit Test, that way I can drop a test score and improve my overall grade. •  An strength I have in Math is: Understanding new concepts, completing homework, and taking reliable notes.

An weakness I have in Math is: Studying for tests, writing my own equations to story problems, and solving particular exponential functions.

An assignment in my portfolio is: My Chapter 8 test. __** Math Reflection **__

Over the course of 8th grade, I have experienced much as an Algebra student. Aside from all of the lessons we learned, I acquired many valuable skills I now use to study and prepare for Algebra assessments. Over time, these have encouraged me to improve because of how much they helped. This, in turn, has benefited my performance in math, in addition to other core classes. New ways to perform in school could definitely be named an opportunity I have taken advantage of. These opportunities, I believe, can allow me to be advanced to 9th grade math next year.

My 3 goals for the rest of the year in Algebra are achievable, however they will not come easily. One of my goals is to become more aware of assessments than I have been in the past. I’ve never forgotten about a test or quiz in the past, but I have not taken too much time preparing other than making my note card.

Another goal I have set for myself the rest of the year is to take more time on homework in order to better understand it. At times in the past I have rushed through my homework. Now I know the better you understand something, the better you can follow along in class, and eventually, in turn, get a better grade on an assessment.

My final goal I have set for myself in Algebra is to take the Lesson Quizzes provided online prior to a notable assessment. When I take these quizzes, I tend to do better not only in my grade-point, but in class as well as far as following along. Although it will take time for me to accomplish these goals, I think it will be beneficial by the end of 8th grade, and most definitely into 9th.

Achieving my goals will allow me to move on to Geometry, or even Algebra 2 next year as a 9th grader. I believe I should be able to move on because of my ability to achieve acceptable grades in Algebra, and how I am persistent to do better in schoolwork.

All in all, I have learned ways to improve in Algebra, as well as in other core classes, and have taken advantages of learning opportunities presented to our class over the course of the year. I personally think I should be allowed to move onto 9th grade math, which I am determined to do well in.
