Term 1 Reflection
I learned a lot of important math information that I didn’t understand before and it interested me and helped me learn. I learned about ratios and how they can help us with comparing 2 or 3 quantities measured in the same units. I also learned about rates and how unit rates can help us in stores across the world. I had trouble learning about proportions because it confused me, but now I learned that proportions are a relationship that involves 2 ratios or 2 rates explaining that they are equal. In the last part of term 1 I learned about Pythagoras which then lead to the Pythagorean theorem. In Pythagoras the Pythagorean theorem is the theory of finding the missing length in a triangle, the missing length is usually the hypotenuse. I enjoyed working with the Pythagoras section but that was before term 1 ended.

In math class Mr.Harbeck would give us homework assignments and blogs to do but some people would refuse to do it. I on the other hand have completed almost every homework assignment, except some textbook work.

In term 2 I plan on finishing ALL my homework which means I can’t slack around in class or at home. I promise to behave and raise my hand more so I can participate in class. I will try to ask more questions if I don’t understand what were doing, instead of sitting there talking and wondering. I will put more effort into my blog and volunteer to do more work. I will promise not to fool around or slack in class anymore and will try my best to improve my mark. My most important goal this year is to live up to my brother and cousins mark, I WILL surpass them and nothing will keep me from doing so. I plan on achieving all of these goals ESPECIALLY the last one.

**Term 2 Math Reflection **
This term we started with decimals, fractions, and percents. We learned how to transfer from certain forms of math terms (fractions > decimals > percents). Then we learned about surface area of an object which is just finding the different areas of a 3d shape and adding them up. Finally we finished this term off with a BIG volume section. Out of all these I think the best in volume and surface area because I got most of my homework done for those units, they were also the longest so there was more work involved. But I think I did extremely well on my tests because I’ve been getting higher grades. At the beginning of fractions,decimals, and percents we all did a video about one of the sesame street videos with edits so it involved math. This term I did better in participating in class activity as in raising my hand to share my knowledge with the class.

I think I struggled the most in completing some of the homework but I got over 70% of it done. I know I struggled in adding comments to the blog because it always slips my mind that we have to comment on A LOT of peoples blogs. I didn’t ask many questions this term so I might have had some problems. This term I didn’t participate in blogging when he asked for volunteers as much but I think I still did a pretty good job this term.

In term 3 I will try to improve in all my errors and mistakes, I will come early to finish any homework not completed. In term 3 I will raise my hand to ask my questions so I’m not sitting in class talking or fooling around. Term 3 will be the term I will start to raise my hand more and participate in ALL class activities. I will try to do even better on my tests so that my grade will improve and I will also try to comment on more blogs. As a student of Sargent Park these are my goals for term 3 which I hope to achieve.

I learned that percent means out of 100 and that to turn a percent into a fraction you just multiply by 100. There’s a variety of ways to represent percents and you can add percents together to form a bigger percentage. Surface area is just the 3 dimensional perspective of an object broken down into its individual parts, then finding the area of each shape. Depending on the shape there was a different formula. Volume is amount of space an object occupies in an area. Surface area and volume has some things in common like that they both rely on 3D objects. They both can be used for triangular prisms, rectangular prisms, cubes, and cylinders. But they have some differences, surface area is the measurement of each face of an object. While volume is how much space the whole object occupies. media type="custom" key="8573730"

Integers
For my integer test I got 4 questions wrong and this is what I did wrong. I got the question -8-3(-2-1) wrong because I was confused with the signs whether it was a negative integer or a subtraction symbol. I had the same problem with the question -8-(-6)x3-5x(-3) because i wasn't sure if I was supposed to do (-6)x3 - 5x(-3). I also got the question "suppose you subtract -7 from the quotient of -16 and -4. What is the answer?" because I didn't know what the quotient was and that I just subtracted -7 from -16. The last thing I got wrong is that for the matching question 19 (3x2) - [(-1)x(-6)] ÷ 3 x (-5) because I forgot about the BEDMAS rule and I multiplied first when I was supposed to divide.

Throughout the year I have completed assignments based on Assessment for Learning practices. The learning process has followed the three key components: Subject: TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to compose a friendly letter using information from a short story. INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? There are several reasons I am doing this writing assignment. First, I learned the elements of a short story and learned to identify them in our story. Next, we learned the components to write in a friendly letter format. Then, we applied specific story details and wrote in the first person as if we were a character from the short story. CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment? NEXT STEPS:
 * use proper friendly letter format referring to letter frame
 * Compose the rough copy letter using specific details from the short story and write the letter from the perspectives of one of the main characters in the story
 * Remember to use appropriate tone and audience for the letter
 * Complete all steps in the writing process as set out in the assignment directions
 * I can now write a friendly letter
 * I can now understand the elements of a short story
 * I can now give a better tone when writing a letter
 * I can now write as a first person view

Throughout the year I have completed assignments based on Assessment for Learning practices. The learning process has followed the three key components: TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to create a definition card describing the definition of simile and to give an example.

INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? There are several reasons why I am completing this definition card. Firsty, it was to show our learning of what a simile would look like. Also it was to show our learning by making our own examples of similes.

CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment?
 * I have a detailed drawing of the simile
 * Correct spelling and definition
 * Added creativity

NEXT STEPS:
 * I now know how to use simile's in a story
 * I now know how to give a proper example of a simile

Throughout the year I have completed assignments based on Assessment for Learning practices. The learning process has followed the three key components: Subject: TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to illustrate a poster with four sections describing food, home, social structure, and tools in the Cro - Magnon period.

INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? there are several reasons why I completed this illustration assignment. First, I now know I can demonstrate my knowledge through drawing instead of writing. I also learned to organize my information into categories about Cro - Magnon life. CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment? NEXT STEPS:
 * visually represented 4 categories eeasily understood by the view in specific details
 * Use all space provided and draw a scene from Cro - Magnon life
 * Finish the product (color, outline, headings, subheadings, layout)
 * I can now use a process to visually represent any time period in history
 * I can now use design elements and layout techniques to do a drawing task.
