Jordan's BIO

Hi, my name is Jordan. My interests include the phone, TV, and hanging out with friends. I am talented at using the computer for the most part, and my hobbies include shopping, starbucks, and running. I am proud of making it through the year in Mr. Nyce's class because he was a pretty hard teacher. I live with my parents and my sister, and I speak Hebrew and some Spanish. My birthday is Aug. 7, and outside of school I go to Hebrew school. I have 2 brothers and 1 sister. I am a supportive member or a team, I enjoy group work, and I am not at all nervous about working in a team. Math has been an interesting experience for me. In 8th grade my math teacher was my English, Jewish history, and math teacher so she really did not know what she was doing. I had been pretty good in math when we did 7+3 and even 20 x 2. I am excited about taking Geometry because it is something new for me to learn. I think something that made me learn math easier was not always using a textbook, but also applying math to real life situations.

hows it going

My first few weeks of school are going fine. I have made a goal this year to do all of my homework and make sure that it is correct. I have a assignment notebook that will help me in not forgeting anything. I think hot math has really helped me this year so far. If i am stuck on a problem, hotmath is there to help me. I think that nothing has really been to difficult so far. The one thing i would like to focus on would be to check homework answers for correctness every night.

Blog 4

1) In math i have learned a few things that are significant. The main thing i have learned is how to calculate degrees in an angle.
2) At this time I cant really think of any questions i have.
3) I think hotmath is really helping me in understanding the homework. Also visuals on the smart board help as well.
4) There is nothing that is not working.
5) I like the blogging. It is an easy way of communicating and allowing the teacher of what the student still needs help on.
