Unit+1+Homework

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?

1. Last year I was in Ms.Rogowicz class I had a blast. She made me enjoy math no other teacher had showed me. She made it easier for me to learn and she did alot of group work which was very fun. MCAS math was very easy for me last year because Ms.Rogowicz taught me different and easier ways to do problems. =‍__** 1.2: **__= 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. 2. They found the common multiple of 5 and 2 which was 10. 3. They then distributed the whole equation by multiplying 10 on both sides and they got 5x + 40 = 6x - 20. 4. Then subtracted 6x on both sides, and then added 20 on the opposite site. 5. They divided -1 on both sides. 6. The answer was x = 0. 7. Substituted the whole by plugging in 60 instead of x. 8. They came up with 30 + 4 = 36 - 2 after dividing 60 by 2 and then to get 30 then the other side they also divided 60 by 5 to get 12 then multiplied times the 3 to get 36. 9. They added up the right hand side of equation and the left hand side to get 34 on both sides.

=__** 1.3: **__= 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?

1. I found out that all the problems were easy.

=__** 1.4: **__= List the following words and give a mathematical definition in your own words on your wiki-space.

1. Linear Function - A linear function is a first degree polynomial function of one variable. 2. Relation - Is a set of ordered pairs. 3. Domain - A domain is a set of x values. 4. Range - Range is the difference between the the biggest and the smallest. 5. Increasing - Increasing is the term used when adding something to another. 6. Decreasing - Decreasing is the term used when subtracting something from another. 7. Slope - A slope is a gradient of a line that describes it's steepness, incline, or grade. 8. Intercept - An intercept is where a curve intercepts an axis. 9. Degree - A degree is a symbol used in math.
