Taylor Reflection #3

Since this week was mainly a review week for us and I also missed school on Friday .. I don’t really have too much to reflect on.. but I’ll give it a shot. For the test this week I feel like I was less thrown off by the problems. However after three tests I still have yet to complete a test. This is killing me because I have no idea what the problem is. I though the main problem was deciphering which method to use to solve the problems on the test as I had stated in my last reflection. However, prior to the test this week I was taught how to decipher which method to use with each set of directions. This is partially what I understood from this week. I also understand the method used for solving inequalities. Secretly I don’t really think I had a problem with solving inequalities but I know that this week I definitely grasped how to solve inequalities with ease.
As always, the negative side of the week is up next for discussion.
On this test I realized somewhere along the lines im still having trouble with sketching a polynomial.
I know all the steps necessary. I even gave detailed directions as a comment. When it comes to the test I work the problem to the best of my ability and I get stuck. Something just doesn’t look right or work out right but I can’t pinpoint the problem so I wind up erasing the entire work I had just done only to re work it and wind up stopping at the same point.
I have a few theories on what the issue could be.
Its possible that im making the same stupid simple mistake that causes the problem to work out looking weird.
Its also possible that im working the problem correctly and im just being neurotic about getting the answer that paranoia is scaring me out of seeing the problem as done correctly
Or
by the time im getting to the test im having a mental block that is just causing me to skip a step or something.
When we get the tests back ill be sure to show my exact process and that will help yall to give advice on where im messing up
That’s all for now!
