My algebra math test reflection

 on my first test i was really good at explaining the answer so i got eleven ticks and i explained the answer and how i got it on every single question but one of my goals from my rubric was to find a formula i could not easily find a formula for adding the tenth pattern with the matchsticks and i could't get the question right with the folds and i was distracted by the pictures counting the folds when i only needed to see the pattern in the table

on my next test it was so much clearer i could just look at the table and automatically see a pattern i followed the rules and found formulas for the match stick question like 8 x 10 because i was finding out the tenth pattern. so it equals eighty plus 2 equals eighty two.I found my answers much clearer but I could of definitely added more detail to my answers and explaining my answers i found that i got worse at that and that i needed to try much harder or my answers would not be explained perfectly i was also not sure about half of what i was talking about in the first test so i mad sure in this one it mad complete sense and the answers i were confident about so i could be more precise so  when i put this all together i ended up getting it all right and getting 14 ticks so I think i did much better and i have reached my goal of finding formulas and next time i can  answer better with a sensible formula i understand in my head.

 Aviation Museum

the aviation museum was super fun when we first got there we got to look at a plane that was used in world war 2 and could carry torpedos

the next plane we saw was yellow and could seat 2 people it was made of a light fabric so it could fly

we saw a plane that seated 2 people it was the son of the plane I just talked about it is a tiger moth and you can go for tours of gisborne in it for only 150 dollars.

we saw a large yellow plane and also a very large plane that we could go inside

then we went and had a look at the helicopter we got to ask lots of questions and go inside it.

it was super fun.

 

My maths reflection

 This few weeks we have be working on measurement in my test the first time I got a score of 46 / 53 this time I got 53/53 so I can say that I have improved a lot.Although I have to admit that I struggled a bit in volume.But I improved in area alot I also improved in using the right units of measurement so that is pretty good.I went to 2 volume workshops one ordering degrees celcius workshop and a area and perimeter workshop.

2. Pick up your taste and carefully place in the bowl.Then flip over using your tongs

3.Turn the stove to medium heat.Butter the pan using your knife.

4.Place egg soaked toast on the heated pan using tongs wait 5 mins and flip over wait 5 mins and put on a plate.Repeat with another slice of bread.

5. Roughly chop ham using a knife and put it in a bowl and pour the maple syrup in the bowl.

 Geometry Reflection - Model

Ava Greaves

. 

My strengths

My strengths in geometry are naming 3D shapes, enlarging shapes and reflection. These are my strengths because I have been doing a lot of  mathletics.

Goals

My goal is to work on maps. There are 8 math questions and I got 3 wrong.I also need to work on turns like quarter turns and half turns.I also am providing impact in identifying different parts of a triangle like scalene isosceles so that is kind of a goal. one of my goals that I knew for sure I needed to work on was symmetry. I am definitely not very good at symmetry and I don't think we did a workshop on symmetry and if we did I was probably in mrs.Toons group then.

What helped me

Mathletics was a big help for me it helped me with getting better at things that were not even in the test but related to it in certain ways.I also thought the direction workshops were very helpful because that is one of my goals

Preparing

I prepared for my test by doing mathletics every night I also chose the workshops that I needed to improve in. for example maps direction and turns.I did not go to the workshops I was strong at like enlarging and naming 3d shapes 2d shapes reflection and edges faces and vertices. I also watched the geometry videos on the website to help me improve. 

What the teachers did well in, and what they need to work on

The teachers did well in the mathletics task that they gave us but the workshops could of been more challenging

Conclusion

Geometry is my favourite subject in maths and I was already pretty strong at it so it could of been more challenging but it was good to refresh my memory .And I learnt things I never knew about before so in the end it was worth it.
