Work Period

Today we got a chance to work on accelerated math and assignments. I know how to do excercise 21 now. So, I was very happy about that. This weekend I hope I'll be able to complete a exercise on accelerated math. That would help me get caught up a lot.

Work Period

Today was a day where we could get caught up on stuff, get help, and hand stuff in. I was so thankful for that. I really like these days because I always leave the classroom feeling like I'm finally getting caught up.

Simplifying Radicals

We went over more questions in class altogether on simplifying radicals. I found that very useful, as I understand it a lot better now. Now, I'm hoping that I'll actually be able to understand the exercises and get them done.

Rules for Exponents

Today we learned more rules for exponents. I came in late, so I wasn't really too sure what was going on. I'm hoping that once I listen to the recording I'll be able to understand and get the questions done.

Exponents & Radicals

Today we learned about exponents and radicals. We learned how real numbers are classified. I understood the notes we took, so I hope I'll be able to do the exercise 20 questions 1-7.

Test Questions

We went over questions today that will be on our test tomorrow. I'm really nervous for the test. I'm not really understanding what we're working on right now. So, hopefully after I work on more questions and get some help I'll understand things better.

Parallel/Perpendicular Lines

Today we started off with mental math. I got a better mark than what I normally do, so I was pretty happy about that. Then, we got our 2nd test back. I was quite happy with my mark. Hopefully the next test will go well too. After that, we took notes on the relationships between parallel/perpendicular lines. I think I pretty much understand.

Practice

We started off class today with mental math. I keep on trying to improve my mark, but today I got the same mark that I do most of the time. I'll have to keep on working on that. Then, we went over questions in class that we found difficult. That was quite helpful. Hopefully now I'll be able to get the exercise questions done. That's what we did in math today.

Linear Equations (Forms)

We learned two more forms for linear equations. I thought I understood them, but then I tried to do the exercises and it wasn't so successful. I'll try to work on them later, but I think I'll need to get somebody to explain it to me again.

Work Period

We had another work period because many people were missing. I was so happy about that! I finally am getting caught up. I worked on finishing exercise 6. That's what we did in math today.

Work Period

Today was a work period in math. I was very, very thankful for that. I don't know if I could have handled something new. I still have a lot of stuff I need to get caught up on. Also, since I missed last Friday's class I don't have the exercise finished that was assigned on that day. Therefore, I have a ton of math to do.

Linear Equations (Forms)

We learned 1 form today for linear equations in math. I think I mostly understand how to do it. However, since I wasn't at the last math class it was kind of hard for me to know what was all being talked about. Hopefully I'll catch on.

Slopes

In math today we learned about ways to solve for a slope. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I understand what we learned. We have to do exercise 7 on slopes. However, there are still a few questions on exercise 10 that I don't know how to do, so I'll have to figure those out. That's what we did today.

Test

Today in math we had a test. It was our second test, and I think I did better than the last one, but I guess I'll have to wait and see. Those silly mistakes can be cruel. I couldn't get the bonus question, but at least that won't take away from my overall mark. Once you finished the test you had time to work on accelerated math. I started to work on it, but my brain was pretty fried from the test. That's what happened in math today.

Day Before Test

So tomorrow we have our second math test. Therefore, today we went over everything that'll be on our test. On our test will be polynomials, factoring, distance between points, and midpoints. I'll for sure have to study. After we did that, we got some time to work on our math questions, which is always nice. That's what happened in math today.

Mid Point

Today we took notes and learned how to find the mid point. I think I understand how to do it, but there's no doubt that I need more practice.

Test Back

We finished 10 mental maths. My average was 60%...I'm not too happy with that. We also got our tests back from last week. I'm hoping to do better on our next test. I'll need to work on math a lot this week, and I have to start going to tutoring.

Work Period

I was very glad to find out that today was just for working, and figuring things out. I understand how to find the distance between points now! I'll for sure of homwork to do tonight, because I have a lot of catching up to do. So, hopefully I'll remember how to do everything. Also, on mental math today I got 4.5, so I was very happy about that. However, my average for all of my mental math was 60%..not so good.
