Overall, I've had a hard time with this math unit, graphing is hard for me but the system of equations is ok, I have a hard time just with organization in all honesty, I have a good understanding of the solving of systems with equations with substitution and elimination. I just have a hard time organizing the portfolio and I feel that we have so much other stuff to do that we get lost with the portfolio. At least that's what I have experienced, I know that I have done all of the assignments but I just don't know how to organize them well. I think with our next unit I will be much better at organizing and being able to get my portfolio together, this time I just got lost with my stuff.

Shadows Math Unit
Content Skill and Problem Solving Skill (evidence is having no evidence)
During this unit I learned, combining like terms, solving systems of equations, feasible regions, graphing and solving inequalities, measuring angles, similar triangles, and basic trigonometry (sine, cos, tan). Overall, the content I feel most confident in is the basic trig. When we were doing our test, I became completely blank and became embarrassed to ask for help, since all my friends were doing so well, I didn't want to be labeled as stupid. After I turned my test in with no work and scribbles with self hate all over it. Brendon came to me the next day and made me ask questions. He really really helped me out and my evidence is not having evidence because I didn't try. My problem solving skill in this is reflecting and synthesizing. As you can see in my reflection now. Now that I have reflected and found a goal to advocate for myself and become more confident.
