Quarter 1
In this quarter, I learned about exponents and also scientific notation. I learned what it is and how to solve problems of it. Another topic I learned was simultaneous equations. I learned that there were three methods in solving simultaneous equations and they were substitution, elimination and graphing. I also learned how to solve word problems and how to make them into equations.
This is my best sample work because compared to the other assessments, I got a better score in this test. I also learned how to solve problems of exponents/indices. I think I did well in this test by writing my working clearly and also remember the method to solve the problem. I need to improve in answering challenging questions as I am not really good when told to do those kind of questions. This sample relates to the IB Learner's Profile of inquiry because I was eager to answer all the questions even though I didn't understand some. For the IB Learner's Profile of knowledge, I learned new ways to solve problems through this test and I learned from my mistakes. |

In quarter 2, I learned about quadratic equations. I also had 3 tests about simultaneous equations and they were hard and challenging. I learned how to expand algebraic expressions, factorisation using perfect squares and difference of squares, factorisation using grouping, solving quadratic equations using factorisation and also solving further quadratic equations. Before the break, we had a Criterion A test about the topics we learned in quarter 2.
This sample is my best work because I was able to achieve a good score even though the topic is difficult and challenging. I also learned a lot about quadratic equations in this test. I think I did well in making appropriate deductions when solving simple problems in familiar situations. I need to improve in answering unfamiliar situations and critically thinking. I also need to improve my ability in solving simple problems. This sample shows that I am a thinker because I was able to think critically to answer simple questions but I must improve this ability so that I may answer challenging questions. I was able to answer all the questions correctly in section B1 and B2. It showed communicators because I was able to write the answers to all of the questions and I tried to answer the best I could. I was also able to show the working to the answer. |
