Measurable: I keep track my progress using the PRF and re-answering questions I had difficulty answering previously to see if I improved in that aspect.

Attainable: I plan to achieve this goals by studying hard and taking tutor, which I didn't do last year. Along with my parents' encouragement, I should be able to complete my goal.

Relevant: This goal is important to me because I failed first term Math last year and I had to spend the whole year playing catch up to make sure I passed.

Time-bound: These goals will be until the last day of the first term so I can be working as much as possible.

Specific: I think this goal can still be completed if I score well on my LT3 and Exam. Some of my past scores weren't up to par with the standards I put on myself, but I believe I can still bring it back.

Measurable: I believe this goal has been completed. I am aware of my current performance and I am practicing for the LT3 and Exam.

Attainable: This goal can be attained if I hustle hard this last week of academics, where I will be taking 2 tests. If I do well here, it is possible for be to complete my goal.

Relevant: I feel this goal is completed, as I kept on putting importance on Math over subjects I was better at to encourage my Math skills to get better.

Time-bound: These goals should be able to be completed at the end of the term. Doing the work this first term made me realize that my grades can be better if I hustle harder every term.

2. This confusion stems from when students assume that (x + 3)^2 can be simplified to x^2 + 9, leading to the question, "Why can’t I just square each term?"

3. I encountered this misconception while working on problems involving squared binomials. As a careless mistake for a few problems, I made an error by calculating (x + 3)^2 was simply x^2 + 9. However, after reviewing my work, I recalled that the correct expression is x^2 + 6x + 9. This highlights the importance of using FOIL method and not being careless when answering and doing the problem step-by-step.
