My best kept secrets about math are that sometimes i can actually find it to be pretty interesting. Most of the time when doing math i find it to be a pain and tend to not like the things that we are doing. But sometimes, however, i actually find it interesting and fun to do. For the most part when i dont understand something i tend not to like it at all and find it to be a pain to do. Resulting in me not wanting to try as hard on it rather than try to figure it out and completely finish the problem. So as you can see i do have a couple of little math secrets that i have just shared with you.

Journal Entry

Math will stay with us forever after we graduate high school and college. My plans following high school is to graduate college and go into psychiatry. Im not quite sure what math is all involved but i assume like most other jobs there is hidden math involved. I will use math when i am shopping to figure discounts and the new total of objects. i will probably use it in presentations in the future to show charts and graphs and stuff like that. As you can see math is never leaving me anytime soon!

If I could be the teacher for the day I think there would be many things that i would like to do. I would probably start with some fun game that would wake people up and get all there talkingness out!Then assuming I was a math tacher and had to get something done and would go on with teaching the lesson. For examples I  would have some people go up to the board and show how they got their answer because as you know everything is way more fun when its done on a white board. Thinking that i only had about 10 minutes left in class i would pair everyone up with partner and have them work with a partner on their homework to make sure there was no other questions while comparing answers. And the rest would be for them to finish at home. The End!

i would have to say that if there was a word that we have learned this year that will help us is equation. Yes it is a very easy and simple term but yet it is ever so important to our daily math life. An equation is the problem we use to set up to find the correct answer. (in my own words) if there is no equation given, in some cases the answer may be almost impossible to find. if there are certain numbers in the equation we dont have there is no possible way to come up with the correct solution. that is why i choose equation as my word for this weeks journal.
