==Sandra’s Term 1 Reflection ==

In term one, we first learned about ratio, rate and proportional reasoning. I really liked that unit, I always heard the term ratio or rate before, but I didn’t know much about them at all. But when we learned about them in class, I finally understood them and I can now apply them in real life. I liked proportion as well because it was like a combination of the two. Our next unit was on squares and square roots and Pythagoras. This unit was more difficult for me, due to the fact that I missed some classes in the beginning because I was sick. But eventually I caught up. I liked Pythagoras a lot because I like using the formulas and I like how the information from the previous lessons (square roots) fit in so well. I realized how important it is to learn the basic things in math first if you want to progress. Math is like a building, if you don’t build the basic foundation of the building, everything else will colapse, it’s the same with your learning. This term I did my work. There were a couple times when I forgot to do some little homework assignments. I did all my scribe posts and I finished my math video. I think I could of done better on my tests and quizzes though.

**Math term 2 reflection **

**This term in math we learned about Percent, Surface area, and Volume. We learned about representing percents by using hundred grids, fractions, decimals and percents, finding percent of a number and combining percents. I liked learning about percent, it’s a great skill to apply to real life situations, such as going shopping and finding tax of a price. I was pretty good at this unit, I improved on my quizzes from last term, although I didn’t do too well on my unit test. What I would like to work on is combining percents because it was a little hard for me, I think I should of did more textbook work too in that area. ** **The next unit we learned about was surface area. I understood this unit very well and I got 100% on all my quizzes including my unit test. This unit was certainly much more easier than the previous units, maybe because we didn’t do much problem solving and focused mainly on the formulas and diagrams. Overall, I really enjoyed this unit and I think I did exceptionally well. ** **The last unit we did was volume. Volume seemed to be even more easy than surface area at first, but when it came to the problem solving it required much more thinking. I loved volume, mostly because of the problems because I like to chalenge my self to see if I am capable of solving them on my own, and relying on my brain. Allot of them I made mistakes on, but it was a great learning experience for me. I did really well on my tests and quizzes, which I am proud of. Again I really enjoyed this unit. ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So that is what we learned about in term 2. I really improved this term, and I hope to improve further on in my math. I think that these units were pretty easy units and now I have to get myself prepared for the next ones that look more complicated such as fractions and integers, those units I struggled with last year but I hope I will do better now. We did blog work for term two, there was... ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Percent** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**[|http://spmath84110.blogspot.com/2011/01/sandras-percent-video.html#comments]** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Surface Area** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**[|http://spmath84110.blogspot.com/2011/02/surface-area-of-cylinder.html#comments]** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Volume** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**[|Volume post]**

Task Intent Criteria
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 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 be successful in completing this assignment? Complete all steps in the writing process as set out in the assignment directions.
 * 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 perspective of one of the main characters in the story.
 * Remember to use appropriate tone and audience for the letter.

Next Steps: upon completion of this assignment I can now...
 * I can now identify elements of a short story
 * I can write a friendly letter
 * I know how to use appropriate tone for the audience I am writing to.
 * I know how to p compose a rough copy for the letter.
