Well Math has actually been really good! I was nervous at first to be taking math again cause i didnt do so well in highschool or any school for that matter. Anyways I feel that im picking it up pretty good so far. as long as i pay attention i should be fin. And study ofcourse. I think my biggest problem will be to retain in my memory the different vocab words. I guess we'll see on test day how im getting it.

Class was good today i think im starting to catch on. some of the different things we are learning are so similar that i get them confused or i add one step into another. but im feeling pretty good about the test i feel that i can do well. I like staying after and getting help and doing those activities with the other students it is good to talk to them and get there ideas and learn the ways of how they remember how to do some of the problems.

Well the first test wasnt so bad. And this last week wasnt bad either. I am understanding the homework, i think pretty well. I feel great as i do the problem and check my answer in the back and relize i got it right. math is actually pretty fun. even more so when you understand it. I feel that i will do well on the test on monday, i finished my homework so i feel good about that. The only hard thing is knowing exactly the right way to right a story problem into an equation.

Well like we talked about in class after the test i should have finished my homework before the test. i feel like i did ok on the test but not well enough i know that if i would have done my homework then i would have got alot better of a score. Well now i just need to learn from this mistake and do better next time.

Well math is going really good so far. The math test we had on monday i felt like i was going to do pretty good on it. THere were two questions that i had no idea about. As i do my homework and stuff i usually do pretty good. I will make sure i study this week for the midterm. I think my biggest problem is that sometimes i will be doing a problem and i will forget a simple step or i dont know what to do in a certain situation.

Well I feel like i did pretty well on the midterm. Except number 21 but i did come home and figure it out. things are going well though i felt alot more confident then i thought. it really did seem alot easier then expected. I am enjoying math alot more and i am forsure glad taht i got into this class.

Man this whole ratio and rate stuff seems really confusing! I think it will take me some time to understand it. It doesnt help that i was really tired during class and fell asleep. so i missed out on some of the material. I can tell though that it is going to be a little harder for me to pick up, compared to some of the other stuff we have learned. So i am not looking forward to this up coming test! Im a little nervous actually!

Well I did alot better on the Test then i thought i would which was nice! Well all this new stuff about polynomials and stuff is a little confusing, remembering the rules of what to do when dividing them or mutiplying them or multiplying by negative one if the second term starts with a negative, having to remember all that suff is the confusing part for me. Cause if i forget one step i will most likey get the wrong answer. I am doing the homework and its not to bad but some of it is a little confusing. ( the stuff i just mentioned is why) the whole GCF thing is the section im struggling with the most. not quite sure what to do after i figure out what the GCF is? So in clas on monday i will have questions about that.

Well I am very greatful that we took more time to study this section (7). I did my homework and some of it was confusing but doing the work sheet together as groups in class really helped getting the views and ideas of the others in the class. Jeremy was able to help me understand something that had been confusing me for the last couple of sections. I tried studing more then usual for this test so i hope it pays off and i get a better grade on it. If not then i'll have to study more! i did feel pretty good about the test there were a few questions that i had to think about more then others but over all i dont feel like i was second guessing myself as much as i have on other tests so that was nice.

Well alot has happened this week! Im going to be honest not very much of it had to do with math, I proposed to my girlfriend on the 23rd and she said yes so that was my high light of the week! But you dont want to hear to much about that. this section seems like it might be a little tricky because of all the formulas that will have to be memorized. But i guess as long as i study it should be fine.
