Algebra
Brian Webb
Semester 1:0-100 was an Algebra assignment that required you to either do the whole thing and get 100, or not & get a 0

Semester 2:For Test 5, I was graded a 79 out of 80.

Algebra 1 End of Course Reflection
I always showed some type of effort! Whether it was my best or not, I would never give up. I would sometimes think of giving up, but I would never really do it because I know giving up is for losers. I realized that giving up doesn’t better you. If you give up, you won’t learn anything. If you keep on trying, you will learn a lot and maybe even achieve your goal. For example, when I had a test, and I didn’t understand one of the questions, I would ask Brian for help and he would give me a clue. After that, I would try and figure out the equation I was having trouble on and put in my full effort.
This year, I definitely made progress. I came to Blackstone without knowing how to do Algebra, just like everyone else in my class. Now, Algebra is easy to me. Of course, I struggled with a few things here and there but, I’ve grown so much these past few months mentally and mathematically. I made progress by paying attention and coming prepared to class everyday. At first, I didn’t ask questions because I was embarrassed, but later I learned that it was only going to hurt me in the end if I wasn’t asking questions on something I didn’t understand and getting the answers I needed. In the future for other math classes, I already know that the only way I will fully understand how to do something is asking specific and precise questions, and really paying my full and undivided attention.
I learned that I am a very fast learner, only if I pay attention closely. When I came to Algebra 1, I thought that some of the math was too hard and that I would never learn any of it. But now, Algebra 1 is like cutting different cakes. Some are difficult, but some are easy. I learned that I fail to show collaboration in other classes but successfully show collaboration in Algebra class. I love helping people with the equations when they needed help. I enjoyed working with other people and discussing and comparing the answers. I felt like a human being. I was actually helping someone. I learned that I am really not horrible at collaboration, I just like to teach things I really know by heart to other people.
