I learned how to make tessellations on geometer’s sketchpad. Tessellations are repeated patterns of a special shape.

In math class, I am best at anything that I can grasp easily. The reason I am good at this is because I most likely learned it before.

In math, I need to improve confidence in answering math questions orally and checking my work more often. My goal for next year is get in the highest math class again and to participate.
