9/1/10 - Today I learned a lot of vocabulary. Some new, but most just a refresh on what I have already learned. For example, I never knew what a co-efficient was.

10/3/10 - this week I learned how to multiply and divide fractions. I was taught before, but never understood how to do it. I also learned how to do multiplication from my girlfriend. 2= numbers at a time. Its easy now that I have learned. (Assuming I am doing it right.) I also learned the difference between improper and proper fractions. oh, and I finally learned how to find the greatest common factor, and understood factoring more.

10/18/10 - last week I learned how to multiply numbers over 2 digits. And now I am working on division. Dividing and multiplying fractions is a lot easier I think. The thing I don't understand with division is why the heck would you put 0's in the equation. I understand how to do it, I just don't remember to put the 0's in.

11/14/10 - This week I went to Nevada, and filled up with gas 2 times. After looking at how much gas I put in, I looked at how many miles I went. I divided the two numbers without my calculator this time. Then I checked it with a calculator and it was off by .1 or .2 or something like that. But I was happy I got that close. I don't really understand the new things we are learning. But the book and the homework helps.
