Math

Math Test Description of Project The purpose of this test was to test my knowledge of the math curriculum. The process to getting a 21/20 was to pay a lot of attention in class this year and in previous years. A lot of the material on the test I had learned last year, and so taking this year's tests was fairly easy. I had been studying in and out of class for two years including the 8th grade, and it payed off. I hoped that this test would show my skills in math and my persistence in learning. This project was easy, and I owe a lot of that to the honors algebra course in the 8th grade, along with the additional learning in the 9th grade.When I look back on this project, I feel like I could have done better, because I missed one point on the bonus question.

Math Test Description of Quality The school website defines persistence as, "Sustaining a problem-solving process over time while remaining focused and producing multiple drafts, much as a skilled artisan, to achieve success." I define persistence as being able to persist through a difficult or time-consuming project without giving up or faltering. This test shows my persistence because I had persisted through two years of algebra courses to get a score above a 100% on a math test. My definition of persistence changed from just working hard to my current definition listed above. I used persistence in this test by studying for two years in math classes to improve my knowledge, and this test shows that. If I were to take this test again, I would have not made that one mistake in the bonus question so that I could have gotten a 22/20.
