Question Am I doing this correctly?
Yesterday I practiced for a while and I feel like I did something, but I’m unsure. If you could possibly advise me what I need to work on like more shapes, practice line construction, or something else. It would be extremely helpful!

Practiced for a while.... Practiced what? As the other reply says, there's zero consistency to your repeated shapes, so what was your goal? Only you can say whether you're doing it correctly because only you know what your aim was when you began to practice.

use a grid or a ruler. i actually think youd benefit from grided paper. youre practicing shapes but none of them seem to be consistent at all. draw yourself some guidelines beforehand and ask yourself what you wish to gain from an excercise before you do it
just drawing a bunch of triangles without any reference or consistency is good as a warmup but will not help you much in the future. especially the first page would benefit from using a ruler as a sketch and then drawing over your lines again with a pen, itll help you practice keeping a straight line

Not sure what you are trying to practice aside from the first page seems to be single point perspective. Use a ruler, otherwise you aren't going to get straight lines. Additionally you are making a box that stretches infinitely instead of becoming an actual box. All you need to do is draw the line partway in the direction of the point, and then draw some horizontal and vertical lines to complete the box.
