Reflection on the Quadratics Unit
The quadratics unit was as hard as I was told from my peers that took Math last semester. Even though there were many ups and downs with which I had to struggle with in the unit. The Quadratics unit was divided into three parts, each part had its own level of difficulty. In the first part of Quadratics Unit we were taught about graphing parabolas and how to write equations in Vertex Form. The first unit was fairly easy compared to the other two parts. On the unit test I scored 80%, which I think is a good mark but it can be improved. In the second Quadratics Unit we were taught Expanding and Factoring Trinomials using many different ways like distributive method, FOIL method, Factoring by Grouping and using special cases. We also learned how to change standard form to factored form. Even though the unit was very basic I still struggled a lot with Factoring and Application problems, and I was also unable to perform well on the Unit Test. The third part of the Quadratics was a lot of fun because we were introduced to the Quadratic Formula which is very easy. The method of Completing the square was also very interesting because it was something that I never knew about and I never thought that this component of math will be this easy. This unit had an intermediate level of difficulty. The unit test for Quadratics Part 3 was easy compared to the other two unit tests, but I think I made a mistake in one of the questions. Even though Quadratics was a difficult unit, but I learned a lot of different ways to solve an equation and it was also an introduction to parabolas which I was unaware about in Grade 9. The best part about this unit is the Smore Assignment because it is a great way to bring up the marks in math class. This assignment is a great opportunity to me because I was disappointed with my marks in quadratics part 2 unit test, and I think this assignment is going to help me to a great deal.
