When I study for a test the first thing I do is make note cards. The only classes I make note cards for is History and sometimes sociology! After I memorize the note cards I sometimes have my parents read them for me so I don’t cheat on the ones I don’t actually know.  Otherwise for other classes I just review the notes the teachers have given us. If I am completely unsure I do read the chapter again but that doesn’t happen often. I will be honest for most tests I do not study for. Sorry this was not very helpful or a good answer but I did my best!

It is important to learn about factoring because in order to keep moving on in our alegebra two math class we have to learn how to do it. Including in this new section. It still involves the concept of factoring polynomials even when we are dividing them. Also many jobs that we can get in the future involve factoring as well. Some of these jobs may include math teacher, physics teacher, working in NASA and others. Factoring will stay with us until college and in some cases after the fact. There are some things that we learn in math that will never leave us and factoring just happens to be one of them.

My math slogan would have to be math plus you equals champion. Now to me that pretty much sums it up! In order to get anywhere in life or aka be a champion you have to be able to do math. Math is involved in our everyday lives and the better we are at it the easier our lives will be, kind of. I chose this slogan because when I think of champion I think of sports. This gets me more motivated to try harder in class because in order to be a champion in spots you have to work for it. I hope that it would be able to help others to be motivated as well.

when i was in second grade i always liked to do the timed math tests. i always like the competiveness of it and trying my best to improve. it was also a lot of fun to compete with the kids around you and see either who got the most wrong or who finished in the fastest time. i believe that they were able to help us improve our math multiplication a great deal because it was a fun way that kept us interested. and as the years progressed those test would become harder and harder with more questions and a much more varity of questions aswell.
