What is this image about?
This image is about how to solve a inverse trig function by using the sum and difference equation to prove them.
What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand the concept?
The viewer must pay special close attention to where the cos and sin are on the ordered pair, as with the little star. They must carefully plug in the numbers.

Student Problem #2
What is this image about?
This image is about how to find the sum and differences values when given the values of right triangles.
What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand the concept?
The viewer needs to pay attention to the missing pieces, the signs, such as negative and positive signs. When going left down the sign will be negative and going right and up it is going to be positive.

Student Problem #1
What is this image about?
This image is about being able to find the exact values of the problems. It will focus on the Sin, Cos, and Tan of the angle.
What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand the concept?
The viewer needs to pay special attention to adding and subtraction correctly. And to double check the answer they may want to plug in the answer and the angle to see if it is correct.

Math Analysis Reflective Blog Post
1. On Unit O test I did not perform as well as I had wished I had performed. In my unit P test I did a little worse than my unit O test. The evidence for my unit my unit O test would be the pq's that I accomplished would be my SSS packet, as well as my pq's. I also did some problems of each in my PT from each concept. For my Unit P test I did a few of my PQ's (not entirely finishing them) and i did a few of the problems from the PT.
2. A) - I have taken the SSS packet and the videos very serious, they are essential to learning the material.My evidence would be that I always finish my WSQ on time and always watch the videos.
- For individual online research I've only done it a couple of times when I don't really understand the concept, I have not used the book though. My evidence would be, for example, when I did not understand the Law of Sines.
- I have used the extra problems for better understanding, and I rewatch the videos when I am confused. My evidence would be the night before the test I would practice on my own and rewatch the videos.
- I take the discussions during class very important, especially when I am confused about a particular concept. My evidence would be doing the PQ's better after the WSQ discussion.
- I would do my pq's ans Pt's, but foe these past units I've been jumping from concept to concept, skipping a few. My evidence would be that on my test results I'll have correct ones, then one that are completely incorrect.
- I take my quizzes serious, but then again, sometimes I don't retake them,resulting in bad quiz scores. My evidence would be if I compare my quizzes with my test then it would be noticeable which concepts I did not focus on.
- When on the PT I do take it serous, I check my answers and I also watch the videos from the concept review section. My evidence would be my concept review problems would sometimes be correct.
- As always I always take the test seriously. My test scores are mainly seen as low test scores, even though I take it seriously.
B)- To make an improvement to the SSS and videos, I'll try to not watch all the videos, I should try some on my own and then watch the videos. A couple of steps would be rewatch the videos again, or simply ask help on the SSS packet.
- Besides looking online for things I'm simply confused of I should look at the videos from mentormob for extra help.
- When Mrs. Kirch has extra help I should always watch it. For every concept I should work on the extra problems, and focus on the areas that I have trouble in.
- To improve the WSQ chats I should participate more frequently. I should be the one asking the question for WSQ chats.
- To improve on my pq's and PTS i should accomplish all the problems, and not skip around. I should sign my own wsq chart as soon as I finish the problems.
- To improve my quizzes I should retake them always. The steps necessary i should study on the areas that i need to retake.
- I should no longer jump around the PT problems. If I have any type of difficulty I should rewatch the videos.
- To improve on my unit test, I have to accomplish and finish that I said that I have to improve.
3. On the test I usually feel confident, because I usually study the day before. But after I take the tests I really don't get good grades.
b. I feel great about this year in my math class! I feel that I've learned much more, even though I still struggle, but I do see a major difference than my previous years. In my previous years I would struggle all the time and not really focus in class, this year I'm more concentrated.
c. How Do I Feel Deeply!I love the flipped classroom method!
d. On a few concepts sometimes I do understand why and the particular connections between other problems, such as the law of sines. Sometimes I don't reallyn understand the connections and I just memorize the procedures such as the law of cosines, it deviation.
e.My work ethic overall is pretty good, except for the past two other units, I do my homework all the time and I do all my work on time as well. In real life the value of work ethic in real life would be the time and dedication that you put into all your work, its what make you successful through out life.

Math Mistakes

The triangle is ambiguous therefore it has to have two possible solutions to to the triangle. Solving is correct but he did not solve it completely.
