Over the course of forever, we were subjected to type several blog posts, that were oriented around Math. They were simply known as Monday Math Blog Posts. In these posts, I have recorded things from decimals, to fractions, to conversions, to possibly square roots. Math Monday blog posts were to have a specific reason, and that reason, was to help us explain what we were currently working on. We were given a certain prompt, and from that prompt, we were to have a certain type of reasoning, whether it be drawing conclusions, or explaining it. We also needed to give evidence, and use that to back up what we were intending to say.
     These blog posts have quite helped me in learning the process of problem solving, and elimination. Since we had to explain what we were to do, we didn't have to just do it without the work. The work was put into words,a nd then typed up. For example, we needed to learn about square roots. We quickly did this by asking a simple question first, what is a square root? Well, we al knew a square root is a number that has the same number multiplied by itself, so the square root of 49, is 7, because 7*7=49. So we used numbers like those as examples. We also knew that using images, and picture could help us describe what we needed to do. So for square roots, you could use a picture of the number 49, and have the square root symbol above it. Math Monday Blog Posts have been quite helpful throughout this year, because I can know explain clearly how to finish an equation.

this year, I must admit, was one of the most intense of all my years of math. Last year, math was our key subject, as we did nothing but math. Coming this year, I thought that maybe I would pass the Algebra test, but alas, I failed, and didn't. Instead, they stuck me into pre-algebra, and I was put with the other kids in my surroundings. At this point, I believed that I was probably able to understand everything, but I was wrong again. I know realise how cocky I was at the beginning of the year. It took me a while to adjust to the new teachings, as well as school in general. Looking back now, I can say I am quite proud of coming this far. Pre-Algebra is no laughing matter. There are still some parts that I continue to have trouble with.
      For instance, I'm having a lot of trouble with graphing. When the change of subs occurred, we were quite disorganized. Our things were jumbled, and we had to switch from one standard to the next. When we finally settled on one sub, we had the opportunity to ask her our questions. Graphing is my ultimate hard point, because I'm really confused on where to put the points, and if they have a negative or positive slope. The equations with the graphs are even more confusing to my eye.
