List the math classes you have taken during high school. Write a few sentences describing your feelings toward math and why - either a good experience or a bad one. Think about what type of learner you are describe the best methods teachers use to help you understand the topics. Please describe your goals after this year - do you need this class to graduate and you are a senior, are you here for MCAS reasons, or what math class or classes do you plan on taking next year?
Answer: Freshman year -Algebra 1 CP = Ms. Diaz Sophmore year -Geometry CP = Ms. Mateeva Junior Year -Geometry CP = Ms. Daniels Senior year -Algebra 2 CP = Ms. Rogawiz Math is one of my favorite subjects because i like being challenged and math is challenging me with number and equations. Sometimes i may get overwhelmed because i challenge myself too much and decide i cant do it so dont want to continue doing the work. A good type of learning method that my teachers did to make me understand more and broken the problems and words down to make it look easier rather than harder. MY goal for this year is to pass math so i can walk across the stage in June with my class and i passed my MCAS my sophmore year and i honestly dont know wehat math i want to take next year in college .

Look at the following, which is an example that has been worked out step by step. Explain in full sentences each step that was taken in the problem and why that step was chosen. Be clear about the step you are looking at, for example "going from line 1 to line 2, ..." All these steps should be written in your online journal.
Step 1: Added the Least common Multiple to the equation. Step 2: Distributed the LCM Step 3: Combine Like Terms Step 4: Subtracted 40 from both sides Step 5: Divided -1 from both sides Step 6: Solve Step 7: Plug in 60 for x Step 8: solve each side of the equation Step 9: Find your equal answer

After spending time in class and at home solving a variety of equations, identify the type of problem that is the easiest for you to solve. Also identify the type of problem that you struggle with the most. Why is this type of problem the most challenging? Where do you make your errors most often? What tricks or reminders should you write here (in a different color) as a reminder to prevent that error in the future?
The type of problem that is easier for me to solve is the changing a fraction into a decimal to find the answer and all the expression i find easy once it is explained to me. I mostly struggle with original fractions because when its put into an equation where i cant simplify it, it gets difficulot for me. I make my errors mostly on negative variables because i was taught 2 negative ( x, +, or division ) is always positive but know the rules have changed and i guess 2 negatives keeps it as a negative. A trick or reminder i should write down is to carefully check my work and be careful with the negative and positive signs.

List the following words and give a mathematical definition in your own words on your wikispace.
Linear Function- A equation showing two equal expressions
Relation- A number or letter in the same same equation that is related
Domain-A set of alone values ( a independent value )
Range-A dependent value
Increasing-Getting Bigger, Larger
Decreasing-Getting smaller, tiny
Slope-A line that departs from the horizon
Intercept-Were the lines intersect on the axis
Degree-Amount of quality, or the amount on a scale to infinity

1.6: Below there is a document which 4 linear graphs shown and 6 linear equations given. In a paragraph, describe how you matched each equation to its matching graph and the order in which you matched them. What graphical features did you look at or which parts of that equation did you focus on?
( Dont really understand directions but tried anyways ) In equation number 1 I would match it with graph D because the slope is negative and the y-intercept is positive so most likely the line will be going upwards on the graph. Equation 2 would be matches to graph B because the slope is postive and so isnt the y-intercept making the line positive. Equation 3 would be matches graph D because the the slope is a postive fraction and so is the y-intercept making the line above the x-axis making the equation positive. Equation 4 would be matched with graph B because the slope of the equation is negative but the y-intercept is positive. Equation 5 would be matched with graph A because the slope is positive but the y-intercept is negative unfortuntly making the line turn into a negative line. Equation 6 would be matched with graph C because both the slope and y-intercept are negative causing the line to go bottom right, top left. Equation 7 would be matched with graph D because the slope and y-intercept are postive making the line become above the x-axis. And finally, equation 8 will be matched with graph A because both slope and y-intercept are negative causeing the line to go under the x-axis.

Below there is a document which 4 linear graphs shown and 12 linear equations given. In a paragraph, describe how you matched each equation to its matching graph and the order in which you matched them. Each graph matches one linear function in slope-intercept form and one linear function in standard form There should be two equations per graph. Did you match equivalent functions first or did you try to match each function to a graph first? What graphical features did you look at or which parts of that equation did you focus on?
