Math Problems

MATH PROBLEMS


I failed math for this 3rd six weeks and I hate saying that because It makes me think that I'm dumb and stupid. The most thing that I am having problems with is mostly with everything, I don't understand the homework because It's really hard to deal with because the homework she Is giving us Is 7 grade or 8 grade homework and I hate that much work and the reason why Is because It is really hard. The things that I am having more trouble with are changing fractions into decimals and ratios which I had never had worked with in my life so that's what makes It harder. I have no Idea why I never liked math.
I think that I should get a mentor or a friend that can help me in math because we are really close to the holidays and after that the game Is on It will be time to work and work really hard and If I don't understand math then I will not pass the taks test and I definitely do not want that.
I have a friend who's name Is Kara and the state allows her to go to school and tutor students that need help. She tutors my brother so I think that she can tutor me, she is a very good tutor and I would like for her to be my mentor or tutor someone who can talk and explain things the way I understand them.

Angle Math Game

How do I think I will brainstorm an angle game?

I think that I can brainstorm a game by using math which is really the one that I need for my angle game of course that's what I would need. I would probably start by making all kinds of angles, I mean by all kinds of degrees. Then after that I would probably ask question of where does the angle belong to which shape or name. I would say that I would make the angle degrees harder for six graders because angles are so easy that they can finish like Lot's of questions in one minute or something else I mean that by this time 6Th graders are supposed to know a lot about angles because they are freak in easy. Sometimes to make the game more animated I would probably do pictures instead of only normal angles because sometimes when you use pictures to work with math It's kind of easier or sometimes fun to play with because they can see that all the kinds of pictures that they see In the game will be outside and they can imagine them too outside to help them with my game. I mean It's really fun to work with angles specially with a math game.

Grateful Learned

Something that I have learned that was really grate full and informational for me was about the Internet strangers, kidnappers and sex offenders. One time I was at the library with my mom and I saw a girl that was chatting with this man , I told my mom that the chatting words were inappropriate. He had told her some mean and ugly nasty things, at that moment I said she should be careful. The next day I was watching the news and they had said that a 14 yr old was missing since yesterday night. My mom sat down with me In the couch and told me honey you need to know the consequences of the strangers never ever chat In the Internet the chat Is mostly just about older people acting like if they are young man but they are not they just want young girls to mess with them.
The 2ND thing Is that she also told me about strangers In the streets. One time I was walking with my little cousin to the store because my uncle had send me to buy a coke for them to drink, so on the way to the store I always pray when I'm alone and everything was OK but a on the way home I was scared because there was this drunk guy who looked scary and he was following me and my little cousin , when I was crossing the street he was like 'hey baby" at that moment I was freak in scared and started to run since then I'm scared to go to the store alone or walk alone somewhere. My mom said when that happens run and keep on running if he catches you or does something to you keep fighting kick him, scratch him so you can defend yourself.
I am very glad that I know about strangers and how to fight against them.

Social Issue

Using Math With A Social Issue?

How can I use math with my social Issue? Well I think that I can use math with my social issue could be maybe using fractions because I will find out that more than 1/3 of the teenagers become teenage mothers, now that's a way to use fractions. I would also be using percentage because I think that fractions and percentages are almost the same because 1/3 would become 75%. How can I use math on a game? The ways I think I should use math in a game would be like maybe compare the percentage of teenage pregnancy in each state maybe to help my game be more helpful to say the truth about which state needs to get help from someone to stop teenage pregnancy. I can also use math to help me figure out what money or kind of needies that I need to create my game become more helpful that way I can do It easily. Also I can use it to figure out how much money do teen parents use every year in buying the stuff for their baby because diapers cost a lot of money specially the milk which costs about $15 - $20 see I just used the percentage about the money.

Math Test

Math Test

I think I didn't really tried my best because when I got my test back I had a low score the 2ND reason I thought I did bad was because all the problems were algebraic problems and I don't like algebra It's really had for me. What I can do to be more successful In math class could be that maybe I should be more focused in math than the other classes because mostly math is the important class, because of the taks test. What my teacher can do to help me succeed would me to give me a study guide packet that says all the problems of math and how to deal with them, for example: how to add fractions and then say step by step of what you should do. Also explain the difficulty words in an easier way.

I think that generate equivalent forms of rational numbers including whole numbers,fractions and decimals means that you should do equivalent fractions or forms that include rational numbers to find equivalent forms. When you use rational numbers maybe they mean that you should also include whole numbers so that can help you figure out the problem. All rational numbers , whole numbers will help you figure out the problem just by using them. I searched that generate means to bring to life to cause to open it so that got me an Idea of what I wrote because they want you to generate rational numbers. Also because it says to use the whole numbers and other stuff. Rational Numbers are mostly numbers that represent themselves as fractions It also means any number that can be divided by one integer as a whole number. They are more reasonable to be just fractions and integers. I also know that fractions and mixed numbers are also ratios.

MATH
If I was making a math game what I would do would be that I would put fractions in a chart and then the kids will have to figure out if they are equal, smaller or bigger than others.
My 2ND Idea was that maybe I could draw some circles and shade them in so they can add them up. That’s an easier skill for the students when they need help in fractions. The reason I say I should put this is because mostly kids have trouble with fractions at the beginning of the year maybe because they don’t remember over the summer. Fractions is all about proportions being added, subtracted or mixed. Sometimes people who make games they don’t really make people understand their fractions because they make the game get confused with other things like I found weird fraction game I didn’t even understand how to play because they didn’t had the instructions. I would make that game better than the others by the start putting some instructions of how to play, 2ND entrance I would put some skills of how to add fractions and subtract them, 3rd entrance I would get them to start the game. The game that I played wasn't really good so I would say that they didn't really make a good choice of how they invented it.
