If I could dO anything in math class To improve my learning it would be the ability to look at a problem and just know how to solve it. I think that would just be the neatest thing. It would make for so much less stress when I miss math class And am gone the next day. Also for tests and quizzes if I did not know the answer it would help me tO solve those tough ones. It is also nice to get that good feeling that you can pick up what's going in math class before the teacher even gets to it.

I am sitting in the library of our school right now and there are many shapes around me! The clock in the room which is a circle. The shape of our keyboard is a rectangle. Our mouse pad is a circle. The bottom of our study hall chairs are blue squares. The little purple flower thing on the wall is held in a cone like shape as the bottom.  So many shapes!

I believe that there are many things that I can do in class to be more productive. On some days I do not feel like taking notes and participating in class and other days I find it to be easy. So I can always work on being more productive and focused while in class. I learned that in order to understand something for the most part I just have to be able to see how it is done. I have a hard time just learning by hearing the math problems worked out instead I like to see them being done right in front of me. I will have to keep that in mind for the future because for college I’m sure they will do either  one not both so I will have to learn to be able to work out problems by just hearing them.
