October 3, 2010- Chapter 4 (4.1-4.4) Common factors, relativley prime numbers, fractions. I really enjoyed doing these things, where as i really enjoy doing fractions due to me working with them alot in construction. As far as it goes with common factors ,or greatest common factors. I really don't see the use in those, but can't count them out maybe someday I will have to find the greatest common factor of something.

October 17, 2010 Chapter 4 test I did pretty good on the test but, I could have done better. Monday in class when we reviewed the test it made me realize that i am miss or not doing little things that are killing me and in math something little really changes the outcome or answer. On chapter 4 I missed 4 problems but, they were all worth 2 points which cost me. Number five I did all the work but, forgot to put the letter c as the denominator instead I put it on the side. Number 7 I forgot to times 465 by the reciprical so instead of 465 x 5 I did 465 x 3 which gave a not only a lower number but the wrong answer. Number 11 I forgot the biggest rule I combined letters with numbers which you cant do. I had all the work right even had the right answer but, I added and worked out the numbers and letters and resulted in the wrong answer. Problem 13 I got my formula wrong and worked the problem out for the are instead of the primeter. Reviewing the test really help me relize Im missing little things I need to do that on all my test which would help me in the end.

October 31, 2010 I have been going through Old chapter test reviewing things that I have missed on each of them so I dont make the same mistakes on the midterm which I have not taken yet but will. After looking through my old test I kinda realized that I could have an A in this class instead of a B. Again I am missing little things that are killing me, I have missed tonz of answers that should have been right if I just payed a little more attention. Chapters 1,2 and 3 I missed multiple questions due to the fact that I didnt put if they were negitive or not. Im catching on to things again and can do the work I just miss little things like that. So I guess my problem now is I just need to take the time and double check my answers. Again reviewing the test really helped I encourage others in the class that are have a difficult time to at least try and review test and homework it may help.
