Week 7 Prompt

What have you personally accomplished in math this semester? Do you feel more confident? What will you do differently next semester?

  1. This semester was much easier than the first. Homework and quizzes became more of a routine. Also, I’m sure we’ve all adjusted to Mrs. Robinson’s teaching style and tests by now. The material we learned in this semester was more complicated though, especially Chapter 13. The Chapters we learned in the first semester were easier to understand.

    Next semester I will try to do extra problems and continue to keep up with blogs. The third and fourth semesters seem to be the hardest so I will try to give my full attention. I really don’t know what else to say so..

  2. I feel like in math this year I have accomplished being able to understand problems better. In other years I would never know what to do with a problem when I saw it, but being in Mrs. Robinson's class you HAVE to earn your grade and know the material in order to do well. Honestly, I was terrified for this class because all we heard was how hard it was, but being in this class has made me more confident in my math even though it is my least favorite subject. I struggle with new material just like everyone else. Next semester will probably be pretty difficult, so I'm glad we've had time to adjust to the test and teaching style by now. All I have to do is do my blogs and homework to study and I will do the best I can to pass with a good grade.

  3. In Math This year... i have messed up SOO much.. I did not retain any information from from my past algebraic and geometric years. So as of me "getting" any of the formulas. I am Not where i wish i could be. hopefully next semester I will put my self in a better situation and push myself to try harder and do better. I do NOT feel Confident at all... i feel that next semester i will apply myself more and actually pass with a C or higher. I will do more homework. I will practice math more. I will try harder. I will make all A's on my quizzes.. i will study more.. I will not cheat( which i already don't).. I love all of my class mates and promise everything that i will do my absolute best and pass and help as much as i can :D

  4. I think i've accomplished actually being able to ask questions! I no longer care if I look stupid in front the class as long as I know what im doing. My confidence isn't where I want it to be right now but it has come a LONG way since previous years in math classes. My goals for next semester are to keep up with homework, continue to do my blogs, ASK QUESTIONS, and study more! I'm sure I can apply myself more but I'm doing a lot better than I expected walking into this class.

  5. I’m not sure exactly what I feel like I have accomplished this semester. This semester has been one big blur for me. I feel like I have understood some stuff and I do not understand other stuff. I have asked more questions than I would have in any other math class and I even got a tutor. I don’t really feel more confident with math though. I feel like no matter what I do I can’t bring my grade up. I do my blogs every week, I ask some questions, I try my best with my homework, and I even got a tutor but I feel like no matter what I do I just can’t bring my grade up. I try to keep a positive attitude but it’s hard sometimes. Next semester I don’t know of anything that I can do differently but try even harder I guess. Hopefully it will make a difference.

  6. Honestly I think i accomplished alot this semester. this semester was easy for me than 1st semester. I have to improve in willingly to do homework and try cause if I really did try I bet I could of done much better then i stand today. For next semester =*( I will force my self to do all the homeworks, ask questions and apply myself in class better. I will promise you this Mrs.Robinson that I will be better next semester and next year mu alpha theta cant wait wish i had have joined this year =(. FYI i will surprise you next semester just wait Mrs.Robinson.

  7. To be honest, I found this semester easier than the previous one. Last semester I had trouble adjusting to how things worked and the way the class would be ran. I didn't do too much homework last year, only because I didn't need to. This year its totally different. Although homework isn't usually checked, you ABSOLUTELYhave to do it if you want to pass.I also had trouble with the identities which I found were also discouraging :(but once I got the hang of that everything else was a breeze :)
    I can honestly say I feel comfortable and confident in he class. I believe I am pretty good in trig and its fun :) ( BTW this lil boost my act score) next semester I plan to focus harder to make sure I retain all the information. I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite classes because it challenges me to do better and work for my grades unlike my other classes :)

  8. I have personally accomplished learning how to do Identities. I had no idea how too do Identities but since we go back and review sections we have covered I ended up discovering how to do that. I also accomplished not being scared of letters and symbols in math anymore. I used to hate symbols and letters but now since I know what they mean and how to work them in the problem I am more confident. I feel way more confident now, I feel like I am on my way to being ready to do college level math. This class has given me lots of confidence by learning new things and it helps that my teacher is so smart also(; .The things I will try and do differently next nine weeks is take more time outside of school trying to learn my material. I should probably study more because then I would have an A in this class. I also should do more homework more because once again that could help me to make better grades. I vow to do better next semester.

    THE END!!!

  9. First of all, I must say your a great teacher! I've always struggled in math, and i feel you make students have to have confidence in their work, because you won't just go out and give the answers you make your students work for their grades. I feel I'm a lot more confident in myself this year in math. I have always just given a half effort because I felt I'd never get it right anyways, but this year I actually want to strive to get it right and feel accomplished with myself. I am grasping the Advanced Math concepts more than any other subject of my junior year. Math for me is no longer the subject that I'm afraid of. For the next nine weeks I plan to work a lot harder, because I know it will be a busy semester with danceteam, dance competitions, and assistant teaching dance 3 days a week. I know I need to complete more of my homework at night and not work on it in other classes. I promise I'll give my best!!!


    Goodnight! It's been a veryyyy long day!

  10. This semester has been the most difficult semester I have ever had in my entire life. In class, I understand, but after the lesson has been taught and I go home to do my homework, I am completely and utterly lost. I am so confused by everything in the first half of this semester. I'm starting to understand stuff from the second half because I have been getting tutored by best twin, Mary Graci. She saved my life by taking extra time out of her life and slowly going over things with me. I really hope that next semester will be easier with more help from Mary.
