Liam’s Math

This quarter in math has been really fun. It feels like a million things have happened in this month, not just in math but life. This quarter in math we have taken a take home test, learned how to deal with fractions decimals and percents, and learned the basics of the endless concept of geometry. We are learning area and perimeter of triangles at the moment, and just before we learned how to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle. Before we started learning about area and perimeter, we where studying how to give a certain tip percent, how to know the tax by looking at a percent, and adding the tax to the total amount while also adding the tip. This is my favorite subject I have ever learned in math because I use it all the time and every time I go to a restaurant I ask my parents to give me the total amount, the tip, and the tax so I can tell them the calculations. When we took the take-home test on this subject every equation felt like I was just doing a simple task. It was basically second nature to me. I would love to develop the same second nature quality for geometry. Math had been so fun this year and I am really sad it’s almost over.
