In math, we were required to write a short description of our math experience. It’s pretty, short, and doesn’t go into much detail, but here it is anyway.

I’ve never really been sure how I feel about math. I like that it makes you think so much, but I get frustrated so easily with it. I’ve always been good at geometry but have trouble with many other subjects in math. I get stuck easily, and I’m never really sure where to go from there, do I start the problem over from a different strategy? Do I look through my work and find the problem? In short, I have trouble with math.

Xtramath

We use Xtramath to practice math facts, and to get faster and more flexible with simple equations. I think it helps a lot because it has any simple multiplication problems that make you quicker with simple math. We also are supposed to do Xtramath every night.

The assignment for this was that we had to figure out where the shapes go, such as square would fit into the rectangle category, which would be in the quadrilateral category. One challenge in this was to figure out where shapes like rhombuses or parallelograms belong.

Graph homework

ADH5-graphsAll of the graphs have different paths. Some graphs start from the bottom, some from the middle. Some graphs have strait lines others have curved. Some graphs go up, forward, then diagonal. One graph  goes up and slightly to the side while others are in the middle of the page.
