A.) Study skills and habits,

1. A study habit that worked well for me last year was to focus solely on school and my fitness instead of games and social gatherings. I would like to retain this study habit as it benefitted me in the long run as my grades improved.

1. A study skill that did not work as well for me was dropping everything, such as relationships, fitness, and all forms of entertainment just to focus on school. Despite seeing results of my grades improving I became an introverted depressed nerd.

1. A study habit and or skill that really didn’t work for me was procrastination as it only lead to more stress and worse results as I rushed through all the work I had. Procrastination led to my assessments having less effort and thus affecting my grade altogether.

B.)  Smart Goals

S. My Specific Goals for Math in this Term

1. To achieve a mark of A on my final math mark for the tenth grade.

2. To achieve a perfect score in one of my math summative assessments.

3. To actively participate in class discussions whenever possible.

M. How will I keep track of my progress?

1. I will review the scores of my previous tests leading up to the final grading period to see if I am improving or not.

2. I will also check up on my scores on my quizzes which lead up to the summative test to ensure that I am adequately prepared to work on achieving the perfect score.

3. I can also ensure that I am actively participating in class discussions by raising my hand and observing if I am not being called or dismissed not to answer. If this is the case, it means that I participate to such an extent in which I should give others the chance to answer instead.

A. How do I plan to achieve these goals

1. I plan to achieve these goals by studying extensively and reviewing my previous quizzes and tests with great precaution.

2. I will spend at least an hour a day studying and reviewing my math books and handouts in order to understand the lesson with greater accuracy than ever before. Meanwhile, I will manage my time by sleeping early in order to not feel fatigued and tired the next day.

3. I have my family giving me all the moral support I need to achieve these goals. Although, motivation should not be my driving force in attaining my goals.

4. I will discipline myself to act on keeping the cycle of studying and sleeping well in order to better my results meanwhile improving my physical health.

R. Why are these goals important to me

1. These goals mean the world to me as I find math to be one of my favorite subjects. I recall the days of elementary school whereas, to dreading math, I favored it and enjoyed the lessons being taught. If I can reach an equilibrium of enjoying math and yet showing promising results in this subject I believe I can accomplish amazing things if I just put my mind to it!

T. How long will it take me to achieve these goals

1. I estimate that at the end of the first term, as I acclimate to the teachings of my math teacher and familiarize myself with her lessons, I can accomplish this goal with relative ease in preparation for the next term. Despite this, as much as possible I would like to achieve this goal as soon as I can!

The hardest problem I have encountered is the perimeter problem of the long test 3. The reasoning behind this is due to a lack of knowledge on how to execute and solve such a problem.

Despite this, I finally understood this problem when Ma'am Arespacochaga thoroughly taught us the method in class. I am grateful that we were given a practice exercise in order to hone our skills in this particular problem. I am now confident in my math skills!

A misconception I had throughout the half of the first term was how I wrote my vertex. I believed that a vertex was just the X and Y coordinate with a comma in between them. My carelessness overlooked the fact that said coordinates must have an encapsulating parenthesis.

I managed to address this problem by embedding that fact in my mind. This correction was carried out throughout the rest of the term, which led me to apply this concept properly when needed.

My best work in this subject so far is my Quiz 1. The reasoning behind this is that I was able to apply all my lessons and avoid careless mistakes as I accomplished this task.

The collaborative work I have accomplished was when I paired up with Jelo for the Wrecktangles Activity. I contributed by identifying the perimeters and analyzing the number of cuts.

Although Jelo quickly thought of the answers to each question with ease, I did my best in analyzing nd solving the said problems myself.
