Geometry and Classroom Reflection

Geometry
1.  Did you study for this Geometry test?  If so, what did you do, and for how long? Did your score meet your expectations, exceed your expectations, or fall short?

2.  If you were to give yourself a fair mark for this Geometry unit (based upon your understanding, not your test score), what would you give yourself and why?

3.  Which concepts in this unit were the most difficult to understand? What made these concepts more difficult?  What could you have done (or your teacher) to better understand these topics?


Classroom
1.  Do you feel challenged in this class? If so, what makes the class challenging? If not, what could be done differently to challenge you?

2.  Do you feel supported in this class? What are some things the teacher does well in teaching or supporting you?  What are some things the teacher does not do as well and could improve upon?

3.  Are you performing to your expectation thus far in Grade 8? Why or why not?  What could you do differently to improve your understanding in Mathematics?

4.  Next unit:  Linear Functions (Algebra)!  Set at least one goal for next term.  This goal may not be about test scores or grades.

Half-Term Reflection

1)  Have you learned anything new since beginning the year?  If so, what concepts have been new?  If not, have you improved in your understanding of these concepts?  

2)  Does the instructor use a wide range of activities to both investigate topics and demonstrate knowledge?  What have been your favourite and least favourite activities?  

3)  Do you feel challenged in this course?  If so, how are you being challenged?  If not, why do you think that is?  What improvements could be made in class to better challenge you or aid your understanding?
