2nd term 23-MANAYSAY-EPRF by SAT23 MANAYSAY, Aidan Joab S.

My SMART goals

I failed to achieve all three of my SMART goals this term which included having to get at least B in the term mark to pull up my grade, and not failing any long tests. This can mainly be attributed to failing the first quiz which demotivated me and made me scared of studying which led to me failing LT#1 and quiz #3. But the main cause of my downfall for my math grades this term was relying too heavily on only reading the slides and watching videos but not doing enough or any practice items at all. Neglecting to do practice items to understand a topic is a blunder I will be wary not to repeat in the next term.

Conceptual Understanding - Finding zeroes in Polynomials/LT#1

The module that had the most detrimental effect to my grade this term was polynomials. This was because I had relied on only reading the slides and my notes and neglecting to do any practice items which come quiz or Long test made me having a hard time actually solving to find the zeroes or finding certain variables in a incomplete equation because I didn't take the time to actually solve practice equations and understand how to solve.

After failing LT#1, I asked my classmate for his copy of the quiz so I could find out how he solved the last few items about finding zeroes, and graphing with said found zeroes to help me understand how to solve.

"EUREKA!" - Rewriting a series using Sigma notation

I struggled with finding Sn from a sigma notation until I found out what the terms in it meant: the top value signified the last term position, while the bottom value was the first terms value. To solve, I simply summed up all terms up to the last position and add any additional numbers from the formula.

My best works - LT2

My best work in the entire term was LT2 because I got a B+ by studying and repeating practice items from the work sheet, as well a +1 from POTN. The results of this LT also gave me hope again that I can get a good grade as long as I studied with enough hours and repetition.

COLLABORATIVE WORK - Bouncing balls

In this seatwork, I worked with Timmy to solve for the sum of the sequence of the bouncing balls height with each drop and bounce. I helped him solve the equation and was the one to point out that he forgot to include the 15m from the initial drop.
