Reflection In the process of conducting this project, I have learnt that perseverance pays off, especiallywhen you obtain a just reward for all your hard work. For me, succeeding in completing this project work has been reward enough. I have also learnt that mathematics is used everywherein daily life, from the most simple things like baking and decorating a cake, to designing and building monuments. Besides that, I have learned many moral values that I practice. This project work had taught me to be more confident when doing something especially thehomework given by the teacher. I also learned to be a more disciplined student who is punctual and independent.
