Week 5 Blog post
This week in Math we prepared for our unit 2 test. This week was more of a review week to prepare ourselves for our tests. I did do better on this test, but I am still not satisfied about the marks I have been getting on these tests. I have been studying for these tests, but I still don’t really see a huge improvement. I am trying to ask my peers and Ms. Burton more questions so I can fully grasp these challenging concepts. I have to start doing better on tests and finding a more useful way to study. Personally, I am a really bad test taker because I’m always afraid to make mistakes, but I have to change my mindset when I go into the test because I know more than I think I know. A challenging question on the test was the second last on the perimeter of the smaller square. I tried different ways to find out the sides like trying to find the area of the smaller square and trying to find the perimeter of the whole square. I am not sure if I got this challenging question right, but I don’t feel very confident that I did. My goal for this week is to do a better job preparing for my test which is going home doing my homework right away and then studying for 30 minutes every day just so I can fully grasp these concepts. After this week I will see if this strategy is helping.
It wouldn’t let me download so I had to put a link in. Please let me know if you can’t see it.
For this question on ordering these numbers from least to greatest I put all of them into a entire radical to see what one was the biggest and what one was the smallest. There was two number that were both 24. The one with the negative would be less because a positive is always greater than a negative.
