Strengths and things I enjoy in Maths
What I enjoy most about my mathematics class is the interactive and connective learning that we experience every morning. I feel like my areas of strength in this class lie with my work in class. During the morning warm-up problems and the Figure it out Friday questions I feel like I am learning a lot and connecting with the thinking process that is required.
Plans for growth and Improvement
An area in which I need to improve or grow in is the weekly problem sets. While I can complete them with relatively little stress, sometimes I psych myself out of completing them on time, procrastinating or completing an insufficient amount of work. I feel like the math and questions on the problem sets are within my ability to solve, but what I need to grow in is my time management skills.
My plan to achieve this goal of improving my time management is to schedule myself. This has worked for me in the past when I have had issues with my time management, especially in my last year of middle school. For the majority of the beginning of my 8th grade year, I had been procrastinating and not being very efficient with my time. However, near the middle of the year I began a routine of trying to work earlier rather than later so as not to distract myself. I have fallen back into a rhythm of procrastination in the beginning of this year and my grades have been less than what I would like to see. It is my intention to bring back a routine of working harder and sooner to get things done satisfactorily in my eyes.
