personal growth

this year in math has not been bad.
although my grades have not been terrible, i feel like i could do better.
this semester i really want to work on getting better grades on tests/quizzes and really understanding what it is that we are learning as well.I think the fact the i do a lot of stuff after school is really affecting my grades in general. I feel like if i had less in each class i would be able to understand more in each class as well. While i could improve on what i am doing in class, i think i have done a good job on doing homework and coming prepared to tests and quizzes, although i could be a bit more prepared. I will try and spend more time studying math and doing math homework.

Semester Review

The topic that we learned this semester that I enjoyed the most was SOHCAHTOA.
It is a topic that I really Understand. SOHCAHTOA, or some old hippie came a hoppin through our apartment, helps you in finding missing sides. Like if you have the hypotneous and the adjecent then you can use CAH, or Cos and the angle to help you find the third side. A real life application with this problem would be like if I were flying a kite that went up in the air 350 feet and the angle was 60 percent and I wanted to figure out how far I would have to walk to to walk straight under it then you can use one of the equations to find out the answer.
