Individual Goals
From your last unit, identify all of your individual goals relevant to maths. Reflect on each in the
table below and set some new goals for this coming unit of work.
Initial goal How did you attempt to For the next maths unit,
achieve this goal? Were you how might you revise this
successful? goal? What is your strategy
for achieving it?
Focus on Extensions I was successful in this goal I feel like this is a goal that I
because I was able to grown worked well in and that I
in thinking off other situations should continue in this unit.
these math concepts apply to. My new goal is to make sure I
fully understand each math
concept and be able to build
upon them to greater my
understanding.
Leadership roles I was successful in this goal I want to keep this goal this
in practicing being a leader unit because I feel like theres
but there is still a lot of much more I can learn as
growth that I am able to do. leader. My revised goal is to
observe my classmates
facilitating techniques and use
some if those qualities to
better my leadership skills.
Connect Physics to Maths I dont think I was very I feel like this is a good goal
successful in this goal to keep this unit especially
because I wasnt thinking because the project is a joint
about throughout all of last with physics. My goal is to
unit. better understanding of the
connection of physics and
math.

Accountability Quiz This week I learned how shadows affect the way patterns are
found. I got to improve my understanding of slope and refresh
what I missed last week. The habits I used this week was
collaborate and listen in my table group because when we were
trying to figure the question we had to work together to have
everyone understand how shadows create different patterns.

Connect Physics to math I feel like I definitely grown in this because I used my previous
knowledge of shadows and how to change them in creating the
diagram. I want to work on my leadership skills next week and
improve.

Participation Quiz The way I grew in this was by really listening and making sure
everyones ideas were heard. When working on the problem we
used Melia and Matias idea of finding the mean and Steven
and Is idea to take our nose and arm lengths to find liberty's
arm length.

Connection to Physics The way I grew in this week in my goal was by connecting the
angle work we did to the refraction problem. I learned that the
refraction would not equal a straight line so using the
information that was given and plugging it into snells law to
find the angle of refraction. This week I want to work in my
table group as one not with a leader and followers.

Group Collaboration I feel like I have definitely grown in this because instead of
working as a leader all of us worked as a group and understood
the similar triangles work fully. Next week I will be working on
Connecting Trig to Physics.

Tangent - Smokey The bear I grew in learning how to learn tangent. Going into this
problem I had no idea how you could use the length of the
adjacent and angle to find the length of the opposite. But after
looking at our past work with sine I thought that tangent would
work the same way but with opposite over adjacent. The habit I
could have used was seek and prove why, I could have used
this because I was very confused at first and if I had asked a
question I could have saved lots of time.

Ray Diagrams I collaborated with Elisabeth when working on the ray diagram
packet. We were both confused of how the light beams would
bounce off the mirrors but after watching the youtube videos I
had a very good understanding of how they work. Something I
would like to work on this week is connecting trigonometry to
the refraction problem we did a few weeks ago.

Connecting Maths to Physics I feel I have done a very good job connecting maths to physics
in my ray diagrams. The concept of angle of incidence is equal
to angle of reflection tied into our angles and geometry work.
Next week I want to continue to connect our math work to
physics because it will help me while making our physics
project.

Summary of understanding. (If someone outside the school asked you to explain what you
learned during this unit and how it is relevant to your life, what would you say? Think about the
progression of concepts from start to finish and think about what new things you would like to
learn and why.)
If someone asked me to explain what we learned in this unit I would say We learned
how to solve problems many different ways. One of the things that stood out to me most was
learning how to learn differently. During this project we learned different ways to think (more
specifically) solve ratios and compare shapes to find similarities. This is relevant to my life
because though I will not be learning ratios all my life I will be able to use the different methods
of learning. In the beginning of this unit I really wanted to focus on connecting my maths work
to physics because I didnt work on it as much as I planned last unit. Connecting my maths to
physics really came in handy when creating the plan for our optical device and I feel I achieved
this goal every week.
