Today we started with mental math number 15. It was pretty hard. Then we got our tests back and i got 41%. Not very good but definitely better than my last one. I'm slowly grasping these math concepts .

Today we started out math class with mental math. Then he had each row pick out a question from the practice sheet and he did them on the board. I have a better understanding of a few concepts now and fewer questions.

Today we started out the class with mental math. Then after that we went on Poly 1.11 and checked out some complicated 3-d things with long names( which had no relevance to what we are learning, but was "beautiful"):) . then after that he explained some more linear equations and had about 20 minutes at the end of class to continue with accelerated math and ask any questions we had.

P.S. TGIF!:D

work day

Today, October 15 2009, was another work day. Since alot of my fellow classmates are gone to a band thingy, Mr. Maksymchuk told us just to work on whatever we're working on, which is a good thing because I've got quite a bit of catching up to do. Slowly but surely I will get it done:)

Today in Math we went on ronblonde's website and went over graphing linear equations. There was a plane and a line that we played with. I actually understand this part!:)

Today we finished off our first mental math sheet! Then we had to calculate the averages. Mine was about 52%, not exactly horrible but not really good. I expect to improve alot over the semester to hopefully at or higher than 85%.

Today ( October 1), we did mental math and then just spent the rest of our class time working on accelerated math and having the ability to ask the teacher questions if we had any problems with anything. It was time to absorb all the new information that the teacher taught us, which was time well spent.
