To start off, I wanted to say that this is our last Monday blog of the year. I am really gonna miss having to write blogs on math Monday, but this is our last day. To start off with, writing in the Monday blog all year about math has really helped me a lot. Like, it explains more of what I need help on, or it just helps other people that need help on the math their working on. Math Monday's have helped me so much, I appreciate it because I can explain what I learned this whole year, and it's a whole lot. Math Monday can help other students verify what they need help on and they can explain why they need help on it ,too. Sometimes writing a blog is helpful because so people put a lot of effort on what they are working on, and it helps people that are failing, or they can find someone who is like, going through the same thing that, person is going through. Every since I started to write blogs, I express how I feel about math, or what I feel of how the problem should be solved, everything in the blog can be your opinion. When I write on math Monday blogs, I usually write about my diffuculties that I am facing.
When I first started to write my first blog, I actually didn't know what to write. I just put a few sentence, and Bam! I just don't know. But every since I started to get used to it, I like have this feeling when I start to type a blog, I always say to myself, " Oh I'm not gonna have two paragraphs ." I always get that feeling because I don't know how to start it off. But when you start to type, you realize you have a lot of words to say based on all your thoughts you haven't thought about. You then realize that you do need help, and you especially notice all the things you are having difficulties, but every since I've been doing blogs, It's helped me a little through out this school year. When we comment on a persons, or a classmates blog, you then realize what they are going through and compare the difficulties or opinions they are facing, and you can also learn from what they have to say also. But other than that, the Math Monday blog has helped me out a lot through out this school year.
In math, I'm struggling on quite a few things, like trying to find the area, volume, and perimeter. It's not hard, but the most difficult thing about it for me is trying to memorize what each of them does. Like I forgot how to find the volume. Sad right? another thing is trying to do box and whiskers, I don't get it at all. I don't even get it that I can't even explain it. Another thing I am failing on in math is communicative property, and all that other junk. Like multiplicative property, addition of property. It's all confusing for me, I don't even know what it is, like how it is supposed to look. Another thing is trying to find the median, mode and other stuff. I don't get those at all, I mean I know how to solve them each, but I can't rememeber how to start to solve nad find a median. I can't rememeber how to find it, especially like trying to find the mode, it's kind of the same thing like trying to find the volume, area, and the perimeter, for me those are just difficult and confusing to remember.
In math, equations are hard for me too. Not really hard, but somewhat difficult. Like I can't explain how to find a certain number, like fo example [ there are 28 boxes of candy, and there are 6 bars in each box. The school has to raise 500 dollars, how much does the candy bars cost? ]. Exactly, like that is very confusing for me, like I understand what it means I just don't know how to start solving it, I don't know the next step, it's just very difficult for me. Another thing is circles, like finding the circumference, and the radius. It's difficult seeing all those numbers, and not knowing what is which and what it is.
Science and math are used for many things, some the same and some can be used together. Like for example, shapes can be part of science and part of the math. You can find the angles and find the volume which is for math, and for science you can do many experiments with them also. When science is used, sometimes we need to used math too. To show distance or square feet. Like for example, this week in my science class we have been working on the distance of our own reflections and the width, etc. We needed to use a ln measure tape to find the feet, and we added them up to find the different. Doesn't that seem like math and science are being used together? Many scientists use math for their experiments, I don't quite know how, but all I know is that most scientists use math for their experiments that they are working on. In math, my math teacher showed us a video of a triangle and another half a triangle fitting together in one creating a square. That is like science because you are using two objects to create one. Sometimes other peoploe w
Negative numbers will soon be used for many things like cashiers and banking to see how many bills there are. You will need them to configure the numbers together to figure an estimate on how much money you have in your account. Pretty weird but still and then some times we used them on percents and decimals and other things important like constructing, it can be very hard and not hard, it depends whether or not you have a good job and then they can figure out your skill, and used them for many reasons.
When people make mistakes they can count their miserable self reason why they got in trouble, oh my god this is so weird. When they use negative numbers because they can show how much money or something you lose, and then sometimes what you owe. They can use these negative numbers for counting scores when they play a game. It is better than using a calculator.When they use these skills for learning and all these other stuff like counting reckless numbers to make it more and easier than what it was before.
To solve the problem 2x-7=15 you may use pthageroum therom. It is very easy to use everyone likes it and sometimes it's kind of hard and it take for ever to solve, and some people really hate it that's why some of the don't use it very often like some other people do. When you solve this you can do solve it in many other ways. Sometimes people just make a shape out of it , some people even use the graphs so that they can solve it while looking at the graphs, it's very it is intresting. When people do solve this type of problems they use the graphs and other stuff and fractions. They can even turn this into a shape with angles and triangles and other shapes that you can convert them into.
Sometimes when people solve this they try to make the varible dissappear so that they can solve the problem and make it right. Trust me people do do that. When the solve it they take away the varible and try to figure out what the varible represents. You can solve this problem with the oppisite operation, like subtraction to addition, and multiplication to division, it's like counting money but opisite. So for this problem you would have to use two different operations which are addition and division because th
The most important math I think will be useful in life is addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Why? Because when you buy something, someone purchases it you have to know how to count, because if you don't you might get into trouble. That is mostly important to cashiers at stores and stuff.Another important math we might need is Decimals to fractions because, it's like getting a price off. You have to know your discounts when you get older so you know whether you need more amount of money or less so you can save things up when your older.When you go to the bank, some people don't know how to save their money so you can use math to know how much money you have in your bank, so you won't use it all. Because y mom does that, we have a lot of money but still, the more money the better.
Some people use fractions to figure out things, like for example how much people ate a pizza and how much is left to eat with out looking at the pizza. You can also turn it into a fraction which tells how many percents have it, you can turn a fraction to a decimal, from a decimal to a fraction. It's very simple.
To convert a fraction into a decimal, You can use two methods which are dividing the fraction, Like laying it to the side and diving it and whatever you get you can turn it into a decimal. I prefer that because it is more easier, and everybody learns it like in sixth or fifth grade. It is easy. What I don't prefer is reducing it and then finding the whole and then simplify it. It is harder like that. So most of all I prefer to use flip it and divide it, when you lay it on the side because it is more easier like that. Sometimes people use calculators, which make it a little harder because then you have all these numbers, and it's just confusing and you don't know what to do with it, that's how most people mess up and problems like that.
Some people use that, but when people challenge theirselves, they use the harder way of solving the Fraction into a decimal. Which is more likely to be complicated for most people, the one method I told you about is more reliable, and everyone knows right that it's better than the other method, Well I don't prefer better but like it is more easier and faster to solve and every kid learns it at a young age.
If I were to choose between ratio or percentage for a fast food resturaunt to pay the exchange. I would choose percentage because it's better and understanding. Ratio, I wouldn't choose because If you do choose ratio, It's more harder and slower to solve. Some people don't even know how to use it. Percentage, you get a better of understanding because you can actually estimate how much your either paying or receiving. When you have a percentage, I can be better and you can also solve it quicker. For example if it were fifty percent, you would estimate that you should be paying about half the price you should be paying. It's like discount. I'm just saying, If I were to choose to use ratio between the percentage, I would already choose percentage with a snap of a finger.
Some people would choose the ratio because it's more advanced, some people would use it though. The best thing to know is that ratios may not be solved on the computer the way percent can, because in restaurants, computers are always used in restaurants when it comes to someone having to pay the price. Ratios are most of the time solved on peaper, waiters probably do the but I don't think so by the way. So when you go to a restaurant, ask someone that is the cashier there if they would rather use ratio or percentage to pay there?
Yay, We're back at school, and it's Math Monday! So today we're gonna be talking about Pi. Pi is a decimal numbers that can go on forever. People remember the first three numbers of Pi which is 3.14. We celebrate this day every March 13. Matter of fact we will be celebrating Pi day in three more days. Pi is very important, it represents a whole lot of fractions. When people use Pi, they use Pi when they try to find the radius of a circle. Pi can be used to solve the radius of a circle and triangles. Pi is very important for that, it is so important that everyone, mostly everyone celebrates Pi day on March 14. Even my teacher has a shirt with Pi on it. Pi, the numbers in Pi can go on forever. Some people even have contest of who can say the most numbers in Pi correctly. There is just so much numbers in it that no one has ever said the whole Pi numbers correctly. The most said was like one hundred and sixty-four.
Graphing Lines help no where you marking points are. They work making pictures and all sorts of stuff. When You graph, you have to start with the first number of the marks and run before you rise or fall. When you finish graphing, you can sometimes line it up with the other graphs and see if it makes a straight line which is called the coordinate plane. That is just a straight line with what your equation for graphing had formed for you. When you finish sometimes, things can go wrong and if you know you messed up then you have to start all over again before you go on, because graphing lines are so important, you have to make sure you graph correctly, cause once you do something wrong, the whole graphing line you marked is also wrong. One little mistake can create a problem in your problem.
Graphing is so wierd and fun at the same time, some people thing it is really hard but it's not, it's actually really simple. When you lie you graph up together they create a coordinate line around the whole graph. Sometimes wwhen the coordinates are slightly aligned to the left or if they curved a little, you have to go back a start over, or change the mistake of what you did and redo it.
