there are many different ways to solve math problems. first i look closely at the problem and instructions and dissect the question. then i follow the rules of please excuse my dear aunt sally. if the probem is unfamiliar to me i usually look in the book or in my notebook t follow the steps. afterwards most of the time i check my work over but if i really want to get done  i normally skip that part. and that is my method of solving problems.

There are many ways that we can use math in real life. Sometimes there are even cases where we dont even realise that we are doing math. For example when we are shopping to find the discount in prices to see if it is worth buying or able to afford it. Another way is tracking the sales of a buisness on a graph to see if there is a steady increase or decrease in the sales. Most jobs in the future will for sure use math as one of the top aspects, some useing it everyday. Math is all around us and will stay with us for the rest of our lives no matter what we decide to do.

When we are able to work with partners I either seem to get a lot more work done then I normally would or get absolutly nothing done. As you have probably seen in class. It is nice to work with a partner on something that is more difficult because we are able to check answers often and if I dont understand why i got the problem wrong my partner can explain it to me. In the case that we both get different answers on a problem, we each explain how we got the answer and see who went wrong and where. If nothing can be resolved we go to ask you, as you have also seen in clase!

When we are asked to put a math problem on the board, i mostly excited but a little nervous at the same time. Im excited because writting on the board is so much fun. Im a little nervous however, knowing that the "spotlight" is on me. And I know that if i got that problem wrong i would be a bit embarressed! It always helps to know that there are other people besides me so i am not as self consious. So over all it is a more good experiance than a negative one.

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.
