personal growth- post # 9

Personal Growth/Reflection due 2/5

Is your progress what you expected it to be?
Yes i believe i have made great progress this year

How is your progress different than your expectations?
I would like to understand concepts faster but i will give myself time

What are you doing in preparation for this class that you are proud of?
I am doing my homework each night and i have the majority of my assignments in on time

What are you doing that you could do better?
I could understand concepts faster, the congruent triangles is sort of confusing me right now. I just need to memorize the different types (ASA, AAS, SAS, SSS) and then hopefully i will be okay.

What is preventing you from doing as well as you could possibly do?
i dont think anything is preventing me, but i would like to be more modivated to do my work, i'm not sure what will motivate me though.

Personal Growth plan:
My personal growth plan includes motivating myself even when I don't feel like it to do my work and review what we are learning at that time period. If I do this hopefully i will understand concepts faster and feel more confident in geometry class :)

see you tomorrowww

One topic that really sticks in my mind is the pythagorean therom.
To solve the pythagorean therom you need to first have 2 sides of a triangle and then with those 2 sides you can solve the third missing side.
The formula for this therom is a2+b2=c2 (2=squared, i just don't know how to do a squared sign on the computer)
You plug in one of the legs for a and b and for c you plug in the hypotenuse.
This therom is good for real life because if i ever go for a walk or run and want to find the shortest distance back i can find it using the pythagorean therom.
For example if i walk 3 miles and then run 4 miles i can do the pythagorean therom and see that if i go the shortest distance it will take me 5 miles to get back to my starting point. (3,4, and 5 are also pythagorean triples!)
