S – Specific

My goals in Math this term are to aim for grades of A or B+, avoid failing any long tests, and make sure I learn something valuable in every class session.

M – Measurable

To track my first two goals, I’ll regularly update my E-PRF to monitor my performance and see if I need to make up for any low scores. For the third goal, I’ll review my notes after class and check if I can answer the homework confidently. If I can, it means I understood the lesson well.

A – Attainable

These goals won’t be easy, but they’re achievable if I stay consistent and put in the effort. My biggest obstacle is my own laziness and tendency to procrastinate, but I’ve seen how much I can achieve when I do put in the work. I’ll start by making a review schedule, budgeting my time wisely. For example, I’ll set aside an hour to go over notes, and use my previous quizzes as reviewers when studying for long tests to avoid repeating past mistakes.

R – Relevant

These goals matter to me because I want to do well on my first quarter report card in Grade 10, which is crucial for senior high school applications. It’s not that I’ll only be putting in effort this term, it’s just that I’m especially motivated to push myself harder now because of how important this period is.

T – Time-Bound

To reach my goals, I need to manage my time well. If I don’t, I’ll risk either missing deadlines for homework or not having enough time to study for assessments. Finding that balance is key to staying on track.

S – Specific

Looking back at my SMART goal, I’m not so confident that I’m on track to achieving my target of getting a B+ or even an A in Math, but I'm hopeful that after exams I'll at least secure a B. Most of my outputs so far have received mediocre marks, and because of that, I’ve committed to improving in the upcoming exam to achieve at least a B.

M – Measurable

I believe I’ve successfully met the measurable aspect of my goal. Throughout the term, I consistently kept track of my grades through the E-PRF, which helped me stay aware of my progress and know when I needed to improve.

A – Attainable

In terms of attainability, I would say my goal is close to being fully achieved. I’ve been diligent in reviewing for upcoming tests, which has helped me understand the lessons more clearly and confidently answer assessments without feeling lost.

R – Relevant

I’ve accomplished this part of the goal, as my performance in Math so far reflects how important this subject is to me. I’ve earned passing and high scores not only in long tests but also in quizzes and homework, all of which have a strong impact on my final grade.

T – Time-Bound

This goal is not fully completed yet, as the term hasn’t ended. However, we are very close, and the final step is to do well on the Math exam. I’m determined to finish strong and reach the standard I set for myself at the beginning of the term.

The most challenging task for me this term was LT2, which I honestly found very difficult and frustrating. It stands out in my memory not just because of the result, but because of how it made me feel very disappointed, embarrassed, and honestly, a bit discouraged. I remember walking out of the room already sensing that I didn’t do well. It wasn’t just about the grade, it was about knowing I could’ve prepared better, I didn't answer some questions, nor fully read and understand them. If only I had managed my time more wisely, or reviewed more thoroughly. Looking back, I realize that I underestimated how complex the test would be and overestimated how much I understood certain topics. I only reviewed a little bit and that's the most probable cause of my downfall. But as hard as it was, I’m choosing to treat that long test as a turning point rather than a failure. I’ve been more intentional with my review habits. I’ve gone back to my notes, asked for help when I needed clarification, and started using my past mistakes as learning tools instead of just painful reminders. LT2 humbled me, but it also motivated me to do better, and that shift in mindset has already made a difference in the way I approach Math now.

One major misconception I had this term was about Probability (the topic on my LT2). I thought it was going to be one of the easier lessons, since it seemed straightforward and easy to understand. But once we started diving deeper, I realized I had oversimplified it way too much never fully understood how even the basic formulas work. What seemed so complicated on the outside turned out to be a lot easier and simpler in reality. Looking back, I realized that what I needed wasn't just memorizing formulas, but taking time to understand the "why" behind each step. This experience reminded me to not underestimate topics just because they look easy at first, and to always review and understand before taking any assessment.

For my best work this term, I would have to choose LT3, even though I haven’t received the score yet. It was one of the rare times I felt like I was in a true flow state completely focused, confident, and calm throughout the entire test. I wasn’t second-guessing myself or hesitating with my answers. Instead, I just kept moving forward, trusting my understanding of the topics and the preparation I had done. I remember walking out of the room that day feeling genuinely proud and content. It wasn’t just about the result, it was the feeling of being in control, of knowing that I did my best and that I had finally found confidence in a subject that I usually struggle with. That moment reminded me of what I’m capable of when I focus, trust myself, and prepare with intention. Regardless of the score, the experience of taking LT3 felt like a personal win, and something that I can say I'm most proud of.

The most notable collaborative work this 3rd GP was during Math Week, especially in the game Dragon's Gold.

I did my best with my group, and we had to think carefully about risk and also calculate the probability of us winning vs losing. We had fun debating whether to keep going or pull out, and even though we didn’t win overall, the experience taught me a lot. It wasn’t just about numbers, it was about learning how to communicate, strategize, and make decisions together.

In the end, what made Dragon's Gold stand out for me and why it was the most notable and most fun collaborative work for me wasn’t just the thrill of the game, but the way it brought us together. It reminded me that collaboration isn’t always about getting the highest score, it’s about showing up for your team, trusting one another, and enjoying the process, win or lose. The energy, the laughter, and the sense of togetherness we felt made it an experience I’ll genuinely remember.
