Unit 2 Test for Algebra 2
Thinking and Problem Solving 21st Skill
The assignment I have picked for the "Thinking and Problem Solving Skills" is one of my tests for Algebra 2 this year. Even though this isn't a project, I think it still displays this 21st Century Skill. Our Unit 2 test covered all the material from the unit, and 28 questions worth a total of 46 points. It tested our knowledge on linear functions and systems. My grade for the test was a 43.5 out 46, or a 95%. I only got points taken off for very little mistakes that I could of easily corrected if I would of realized the error at the moment. Other than that, I had no points taken off for anything else.
This test shows that I have an understanding of the subject and area, and that I was able to learn and retain the knowledge throughout the unit lessons. As for the "Thinking and Problem Solving Skills", thats what mathematics is all about. Math gives you a problem and you have to solve it. It makes you think in a range of ways through different areas of math, the complexity of the problems, and real world situations (ex. word problems).
I feel that math has been a subject for me were I've always seen growth. It's easy to see, because math is continuous learning, and all areas of math require that you have some specific previous math knowledge, except for of course the basics. For example, you have to know the basics of Algebra 1 to move onto Algebra 2. Math has been a continuous line of growth for me, from the grade school general math, to now Algebra 2.
