REFLECTION #1: Math--Unit 8 Math Test (with Open Response)
What did you learn from this assignment?
In unit 8 I learned how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions and mixed numbers. I also had to apply the skill of renaming and reducing fractions. Part A was summative because we have learned this and had opportunities to show our learning before the test. Part B is formative because we are still learning these skills.
The open response problem required me to think critically and explain my thinking. The problem asked me to apply the skills in a multi-step problem. I also had to solve the problem in more than one way. The main focus of the open response is explaining and showing my work.
.

To be better in math and learn new things training more.
