This week in Math we had our unit 4 test on graphing. I found some parts of the test really challenging and some parts easier. This week coming up in Math I am looking forward to our next unit which is think is trigonometry because that’s a unit from grade 10 math I really enjoyed. I am gonna continue to work as hard as I can to help get my Math grade up by going in for help still when I need it and asking my classmates different kinds of questions.

A question I found challenging on the test was when they were asking to find the axis of symmetry. I forgot that its going up and down not right to left. I got confused on that and ended up guessing so I don’t think I got that question right. To find the axis of symmetry you first need to find the vertex. Once you have found the vertex then its whatever coordinates that is going up and where the vertex is.

This Week in Math we continued to work on chapter 4. So far I have found this unit the easiest of all the units. Graphing for me isn’t the hardest because I like to use t chart to show and explain my work. It may take a little bit longer to do but I am way more confident in using them and I feel like im getting most of the answers right when I’m using it

A question I found hard this week was a problem in my workbook. The question asked to translate the question y=x2. I found these questions hard because I forgot when units move left it is a positive. I’m used to seeing if unit move to the left then it will become a negative and vice versa. If its translating up then it will always be a positive that won’t change and same with when its translating units down it will be the same.

This week in Math we had our first mid term test. I am very disappointed with the mark I got because I have been studying all week for it. When I was studying I felt way more confident than when I Was doing it on my test. I had to start studying a week before I started studying because I am the type of person to panic on a test and second guess myself. During the multiple choice questions I felt more confident while I was doing it and then when I got my test back I was shocked I did so poorly. On the written answer questions I found the last question the hardest. I have been looking at different ways to study for math last night and hopefully trying new things will help. The most important thing for me is to just do more questions. I have already been doing a lot of math lately but if I want a decent grade in this class I have to do a better job with doing more questions so when the test comes I feel confident not nervous.

This week in Math we had our unit 3 test on Factoring and The quadratic Formula. The start of the unit I found easy but once we got to completing the square I had to go home and get my parents to help me. The thing I found the hardest for this unit was completing the square. We have started doing a new unit. So far we have mainly just been plotting points and filling in T charts. This weekend I have been studying for my Mid Term on Tuesday. My mom as helped me study by writing me quizzes and finding more work for me to do.

The hardest thing I found on the test was completing the square. In this question here the first step you have to do is factor the 3 because its what’s common in the first number. Your first line would be 3(x2-4/3 x) +5. The next thing you have to do is 4/3×1/2=4/6=2/3.  You then get 2/3 squared which you have to square both numbers and you get 4/9 which is your final answer. These questions I found the hardest because I didn’t know how to start the question which is the most important part when doing these types of questions.
