Alyanna's Journal Entry :)

Hey there :) , Sorry this is late.. I kept forgetting my journal in my locker -_-" I finally remembered to take it home.. cause Backe wrote it on my hand. Or should I say my finger -_-" Beautiful..



Anyways .. I will talk about something in Chapter 6. This is coming straight from my journal. When you read it dont make fun of me -_-" I talk as if my journal is a diary.. LOL. So here it goes :)


Today in class, Backe asked if we have any questions or anything. No one did suprisingly.. The class was so quiete.. It was amazing. Well after that, he started talking about some patterns and things. Well there went the class.. We were talking about some pictures or something. Wait i'll show you. Just wait let me draw it :)

See this is what we are learning. We have to find out what the how many squares are in the fourth and fifth figure and the "linear equation" or something. Well yeah, I'm so lost.. Like you don't even understand.. But wait, I'll ask questions BE RIGHT BACK.



Okay I'm back.. Hey there! Well my questions helped me, I get it know ! yay me :) I'm going to go do it on my loose leaf! Bye Journal :) I wrote a lot in you today ! yay me :)

Hello 9-05. Today i didn't really take good notes today but Ill type what i have down. So today in class we started giving back our foldables which alot of us including me didn't hand in yet. I then Mr. Backe yelled at us and blah blah blah... Okay well after that we talked about our homework on 8.1. Then most of the class he th0ught us things that i think were new things unless I am mistaken. Anyways I didnt get what Joseph said about the recirpical but i got this stuff. I hope you understand... Enjoy!!!

One of the questions he gave us too solve is....

ax+b=c .

I cant really show how to work it out but what you do is divide both by "A" and minus "C" by "B".

it should look like this...


ax=c-b
__ __ x=c-b
a . a . __
. a

The dots are here^^ because I can't move it over without anything there.
Sorry if its really bad!

Today in class we started off by playing "Save the Zogs". I think this actuly helps you with linear relations and all those things. I was playing last night and i got really bored. I think i went up too level 7 then i just went to sleep. We eneded up playing it in class with backe anyways so that was fine. I have some trouble with this stuff but it looks pretty easy to understand. I dont think if we have a test ill fail it. I should do fine and maybe close to a 80%. haha! yeah right!!

To start off the class we got our stash-its back. Afterwards we went over our tests. Nicky proved by counting the test was acutely out of 47 instead of 48. One of the questions a lot of people got wrong was number 26, the hexagon question. Mr.B showed us how to make the hexagon on grid paper after. During the last little bit of class we went over a little bit about the new unit (Chapter 5)

Monomial means there is ONE term.

Binomial means there is TWO terms.

Trinomial means there is THREE terms.

We then got home work which was 5.1 extra practice and 5.1 workbook.

Today in class, we had a bit of fun! We played Save the Zogs, on www.mathplayground.com
Here's what we had to do :
" To rescue the Zogs, you need to learn as much as possible about linear equations and the lines they create. What happens when the slope is zero? What effect does the y intercept have the position of the line? The more you know, the more Zogs you can save! "

So basically, we had to find linear equations, in order to save the Zogs. Also after passing a few levels of the game, the game involves finding the x, y position and rotation of the line. This game is very fun, but involves math which was very interesting. I really liked how the game wasn't too hard to play but was very fun. I really learned a lot from this game, its awesome. That's what we did today!

Today in math class, we took notes for Chapter 6. We learned about linear relations and linear equations. I learned that a linear relation is a relation that is in a straight line when graphed. We worked on a pictorial pattern. It was kind of hard to understand at first, but when Mr. Backe explained it, it was easy. This is what we worked on in math class:
