When I see a word problem the first thing i think is what is the first thing I can do to make this problem less complicated. Or is there a different way I can put this problem so it makes more sense to me? After I read the problem a couple times i may make a diagram to help me come up with an equation.  Next the first thing I do is put what i am trying to find, or if im given it, put it on the side with an equal dign. After is the hard part setting up the equation so it can fit the problem and get me to the answer. After I have found something I put it back in the equation to see if it works/fits the problem.

i am very optimistic in math in many ways!  i believe that i am able to comprehend algebra a lot better than geometry. i didnt understand the different shapes and how they fit in a plane or proofs  and that is kind of  what geometry is all about. i am also very optimistic when it comes to learning new things and math can be a perfect example  of that. i am also optimistic about getting a good grade and keeping it up and steady!! i am very excited for what is to come.

solving a math problem

hey ms. yo im at the night of columbus right and i just saw you and that reminded me i stll have my math blog to do. i think the most important part in solving the problemis to have the right equation. when given a story problem or a equation it is important to make sure the equation is written the same or that it is written with something that fits the story problem. if the equation is wrong then everything else for the problem will be way off because there is no way to get an actual answer.

if math were a pattern it would be polka dots because it is unpredictable in some ways butin others you can expect what will happen. the different size of the polka dots and the different places it occers refers to the unpredictability of answers and what we will be learning next. you can always expect the polka dots will be circles just like in math the answer never changes. the different colors of polka dots represents the diferrent chapters in a math book. and that is why i think math is like polka dots.

Some of my worst math experiances happened last year in geometry. Dont get me wrong i did learn a lot in that class but there were also many things that i didnt understand last year aswell. I never understanded any of the proofs that we did last year. We also did a project last year with the different groupings of shapes and only one group could get 10 points for creativity and only one could get 9 points so it was like a competion to get a good grade which i didnt think was fair because school shouldnt be a competetion. We also did a week long castle learning project and i had to miss the last day for an important or something and i got down graded by a lot just because i couldnt be there for the last day, it stunk! And those are my worst math experiances.

As of this point in class, really nothing is confusing me so far. The only thing that I was kind of skaky about was decimal number and putting them into fractions, but I think that i finally have that down. I also think that when it comes to things with slope intercept I will also need some review because I dont remeber how to do that so well. One thing last year that really confused me was using factoring in equations, I was trying to recall how to do that but i really have no memory of that.The last math thing that messed me up was the proofs...but i think that may be a lost cause because I didnt ever understand them last year.
