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.
