8/31/2010: Seeing that this is the first week that I was able to get on wiki spaces, I will comment on 8/25/10 and 8/30/10. On the 25th I learned that I had been writing my checks wrong all this time with the missing "," and "-" in the spelling of the numbers, that and I still love math. On the 30th I learned that some story problems have more than one part to them and that if you rush through them, without reading them carefully, good chance you could get them wrong. :-( It seems that if you are trying to get 45 students on buses that carry only 20 students, you have to order 3 buses instead of sedate 5 of the students and stick them in the luggage rack and save all that money from the cost of having to get a third bus. lol :-o (I have relearned a lot of things that I have forgotten because of not using them often).

9/8/10: well today i learned that my math teacher doesn't like to watch golf on t.v. and that "opposites" is were if you have a # in the positive the opposite would be the same number in the negative and vice-versa, "Absolute value" is how far from "0" any given number number is whether it is positive or negative. Also "vectors" are an arrow that has a direction and length ->+ - <-- <- -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 --l---l---l---l---l---0---l---l---l---l---l 1 2 3 4 5 We also learned about multiplication, division, sum, and subtraction with negative numbers and a combo of negative and positive combined. i really liked the idea of the -,+ triangle thing when trying to figure out if the number should be negative or positive.

9/14/10: I found out on monday that when put on the spot, my brain freezes up which has me a bit scared about the test on wed. it seems also that i for the most part can get the answer in my head for most problems but have a hard time putting the way i solved it on paper :-/

9/15/10: well tonight we took our first exam and other then the one ? i marked as "is simplified" i felt good about the test. Even though I'm sure I got more wrong, at least I was confident in getting them wrong. :-o

-4^2= -16 dang got that one wrong

9/21/10: i am happy to say that besides doing my math in my head, i finally figured out how to put it on paper (fingers crossed).

9/24/10: wensday i got a little better at putting math on paper, but i need to work on making sure that i work the problem all the way through and not thinking that i am done once i figure out what "x" is. i'm still working on reading math in english and being able to put it in a solveable math problem.

9/27/10: I feel good about the exam, but didn't really show my work for the bonus ? very well so... here we go: (3x86)-98-67=x=97.

9/30/10: I think so far i understand what has been talked about in chapter 4, but need to go over notes a bit to get it to memory.

10/4/10: hoping that i am getting all this stuff about fractions in, right now i feel like my brain is being pulled in 3 other directions between my other classes and home life. If I seem like a dits at times, it is most likely that my brain has stepped out for a breather lol.

10/9/10: i think that i need to spend some more time on chapter 4, i don't think i did very good on the chapter exam or at least that i was sure of my self about it if i didn't totally bomb it :-/ (i would have posted sooner but i didn't have internet where i was)

10/19/10: was unable to post last week after class on wednesday because of no internet were i was at, so i'm going to post after monday's class. i think that i didn't do to bad on chapter 5s exam. there was two ? that i was not sure just what was wanted but i think that i was able to figure them out.

10/25/10:not really sure of how i did on the mid-term. also not sure to find my test score on the uvu link Cory: You did well. I don't have the test here, but I think it was a B+, meaning an A in the class at this point. I think if you click UVLink you can access them, but they may not post yet because instructors have until the 28th to post them. jeremy: are we going to go over the ones we missed? Yep. 11/1/10: learned that "of = x" and a few other things that i hope to remember. I need to work on story problems still and seeing how to write them as a math problem. 11/14/10:not really sure what is wanted on this log because i don't know what i need to work on until i take the chapter test. Cory: I disagree somewhat. Doing the homework, it all seems to flow just right, but while i take the exams i seem to stress and make dumb mistakes. this week we learned about //zero power rule, power rule of exponents, polynomials (//which i still need to work on under standing, because once i thought i knew what it was it seems it was not that),//degree of a term, degree of a polynomial (//i need to make sure that i remember the difference between the two degrees), as well as a lot of other things that i need to study so that i don't flunk the test. I do need help understanding //quotient rule for exponents a little more.// //11/17/10: ok, i know that i got at least 2 ? wrong and i know why. I don't remember having any math problems that were on what i got wrong. the 3 with the -2 exponent should have been 1/9 and the 5 with the -2 exponent should have been 1/25. i think that i got the last bonus ? wrong as well. if the 0 exponent is out side of the brackets then i think i got it right, if it is inside the brackets i know i got it wrong :-/// 11/28/10: area of my name:J=7.1325, E=16.5, R=13.7152, E=16.5, M=18.1, Y=13.295. JEREMY with a total of 85.2427 and yes the turkey was very good and was about 40 cm tall.(1/100 of a meter) 12/05/10: this week we learned about graphs and means, mediums, modes. i just need to run the stuff we learned through my head a few times so that i will do good on the exam tomorrow. we also learned about x/y with the grids x-3=y x=5 and y=2 or x=3 and y=0 or x=-3 and y=-6. they all should line up on the grid in a strait line if they are correct. 12/13/10: well i feel really good about the final, thanks for all that you have done to help Cory :-)
