Math Reflection

I think I am a good student and am good most of the time I am good at doing my homework whereas before I would forget my home work all the time. like my fractions worksheet, I think I am good at division and working with remainders, whereas last year I was not very good with division. especially on the long test in the middle of the year when we needed to turn remainders into percents. I think I should I should work on my listening skills sometimes because occasionally I do not hear something important and that can get really annoying but I still think that my listening skills have improved
 
On my first test I think I did well and I did a good job of course there were some areas that I needed to improve on like direction reading or problem  on the one where you need to work out the distances in between different cities or just solving problems and using my head but I think that overall I am pretty good. I think that one of my weaknesses is doing my work properly, to the best of my abilities or rushing it just so that I can do something that I prefer.You understand things so you rush, you're good Alfie, now I dare you to be great, take it to that next level, pay attention to details and tie up the loose ends so to speak, making it a great and complete final result which you turn in to me.  you're bright, don't settle.  A good friend of mine said this to me this morning and i loved it, she said-

1.What did you notice was true about all of the numbers they multiplied together?  (What similarities did they have in each)

They moved the decimal back one space every time a notation was added. They also have 10 to the power.They are both multiplied.
 
2.What was the difference you saw from writing scientific notation for really big numbers versus very small numbers when writing scientific notation?
There is always only one number in front of the decimal in scientific notation and however many times the decimal is moved to make only one number in front of the decimal that is how much the notation is.. Also it is a lot more simple in scientific notation. And there are normally the number that is to the power of is a negative number.
