This week we started direct variation It is such a complication. After we find x What comes next? We come to the conclusion that we need to find a solution. That was easy and fun now lets do another one.

poem

Once upon a time I was asked to write a poem for math.
However my writing skills are not the best.
I figure if everything will rhyme.
I will be fine.

We started direct variation this week
since I am not a geek
I tend to be quite weak.

Using rational equations is something new
I am finding to have a whole new view
on what do to.

I hope you thought this poem was fun.
However I have to be done
Study hall is over and I must be on a run.

I feel that my math work most of the time is the opposite of neat. I try, I really do try to make it look nice and neat but by the end of the assignment it just doesn’t happen!  I think there are many positive reasons as to why one would want to have their math homework neat.  First it would be easier for the teacher to follow while looking over or correcting the assignment. Also if a student had questions on the assignment it would help them be able to find their mistakes instead of being lost in their work.  And lastly it could screw up the final answer and turn out in an incorrect one!  I will try harder to keep my work neat on the math assignments from now on! I promise Ms. Yo!!!

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.
