Lind, Jon

1. Review the quarter

Go to our class in ManageBac, and click on assignments for our class. Read carefully through the grades and comments for Quarter 3 (since January) and see if there’s anything you disagree with or don’t understand. Below, list any questions you have about the grades you have earned this quarter.

2. Math you've learned

Below, list the mathematical skills and concepts we have worked on in class this quarter.

3. Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP)

Below are the SMP. It’s not always obvious when we are doing these things, so I’d like to get your point of view. Can you think of any activities we’ve done where you had to do the following things? Try to respond to at least 3 with specific activities, and explain why they are good examples. 1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4 Model with mathematics. 5 Use appropriate tools strategically. 6 Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

4. Standards for Success (SFS)

Below are the SFS. It’s not always obvious when we are doing these things, so I’d like to get your point of view. Can you think of any activities we’ve done where you had to do the following things? Try to respond to all of the SFS with specific activities, and explain why they are good examples. 1. Examine text/graphic to interpret, infer and draw conclusions 2. Support arguments with evidence 3. Solve complex problems with no obvious answer 4. Resolve conflicting views found in source documents or experiences

5. Self-Assessment

Based on your performance in the areas you discussed in 1-4, give yourself a grade for the quarter (1-4, half marks are possible). Justify your grade (you can respond using words from the rubric displayed in class).

6. Reflection

Based on your responses to the previous questions, write a reflection on your performance in math class this year. This reflection should be used on your portfolio website for Student Led Conferences on April 21. Your reflection should include at least: - One specific thing you’ve learned that you didn’t know before. - One concept, skill, or practice where you’ve improved over the year. - One concept, skill, or practice where you could improve more (a goal for the rest of the year). - One specific assignment or assessment that shows evidence of one or more of the previous points.
