My Mathematical Year

Improvements I have made in math this year:
1. I learned to check my work carefully. For example, in the beginning of the year, I used to think just looking over a test was checking it, but now I actually go and check each question using paper and pencil. This also helped me improve my grades, because I can find mistakes and fix them.
2. I learned to show my work more. In the beginning of the year, I used to do everything mentally, but throughout this year, I learned to show my work on tests, homework, and even when I am taking notes.
3. I learned to not procrastinate and get more organised. Sometimes, I used to forget about homework and do it last minute. But in math this year, I learned to check my google calendar, put my homework on stickies, and I ended up getting better grades because I put more effort into it instead of doing everything last minute.

The piece of work I am the most proud of is the Millionaire Project. In the Millionaire Project, we were assigned to write a blog post "convincing" the readers that a fake company, Hardinge, McComb, Munden & co. was a good company and that they should invest their money into it. We also learned about interest and compound interest, and completed this booklet.
I am proud of my work for the Millionaire Project because I put the most effort into it, and also got a good grade. I not only finished the parts that was required, but I also finished the optional extension problems. I also thought I did a good job on the project because I got all of the questions right as well. Finally, I also found out how many percent of interest was needed to become a millionaire. (Earn a 1,000,000 dollars.) I liked how we all got to learn about interest and how it works.
