It was a bad week for me on KA. I only got through two exercises, both of which were fairly easy, meaning I should have got WAY more accomplished than I did. ☹️ I started the unit test on Sunday, got the second question wrong because I wasn’t paying attention, and then decided to wait until next… Read More Week 312 – Two Exercises, a Tough Week, and a Potentially Life-Changing Update
I got a few things done this week on KA, but overall, my effort was pretty lousy. I made it through the unit test for Analytic Geometry and then got through two exercises in the final unit, Solid Geometry. Considering my goal was to get through all four exercises AND the unit test however, the week was a… Read More Week 311 – The Final Unit of Geometry, but Progress Is Still Slow
This week I got through three exercises and one unit test, which on paper sounds pretty good but the truth is my effort was pretty poor. I only studied for around 4 hours, which I have no excuse for. What makes it worse is that I found all of the questions I worked through super… Read More Week 310 – 95% Through Geometry, but Still Rushing the Questions
This was one of the rare weeks that I’m actually happy with the effort and the progress I made on KA. 😌 I achieved my goal of getting through two unit tests and two exercises, not to mention that for some reason the exercises from the previous unit in Geometry, Transformation Properties and Proofs, went from… Read More Week 309 – Four Tests and Exercises Down: A Welcome Return to Form
It was another poor week for me on KA but, nonetheless, I’m surprisingly upbeat about how it went. I made it through two exercises but didn’t manage to get through the Congruence unit test—or even start it for that matter—which was part of my goal for this week. So, in that sense it was a bad week,… Read More Week 308 – Getting Crushed by Congruence Proofs, Then Finding My Footing
I got smoked this week on KA. The plan was to get through five exercises and two unit tests, but I only made it through three exercises. 👎🏼 As you’ll see in my notes below, all the exercises were about proving congruence of shapes. The questions were all terminology based, i.e. I needed to pick or create… Read More Week 307 – Congruence Proofs: When the English Is Harder Than the Math
It was another subpar week for me on KA. I did manage to get through the Quadratic Functions & Equations unit test, but I used Desmos to check my answers before submitting them so I essentially cheated. 😒 The test was 25 questions long and I kept making careless mistakes like forgetting to enter a negative sign or… Read More Week 306 – Algebra 1 Complete! Geometry Begins, with a Few Shortcuts
I’d give myself a pass this week for me on KA for my effort and overall progress, but it probably could and should have been better. I watched a handful of videos and got through the four exercises I had left to do from the fourteenth unit of Algebra 1, Quadratic Functions & Equations, but I… Read More Week 305 – Four Exercises Complete, but Could I Have Done More?
I once again did not have a very productive week on KA. 👎🏼 I made it through the eighth and nineth unit tests of Algebra 1 but that was it. Neither of them were difficult, so I should have gotten more done than that. It took me until Saturday to get through the first unit… Read More Week 304 – Two Unit Tests Down, but Still Struggling with the Questions
I didn’t have a spectacular week on KA by any stretch, but I did achieve my goal of getting through one exercise and two unit tests. (Plus, I also watched three short videos. 💪🏼) The math was pretty straightforward but, just like five years ago, I got a handful of questions wrong because the phrasing of… Read More Week 303 – 97% Through Algebra 1, Still Fighting the Wording of Questions
