__** 1.1: **__ List the m ath 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?

i took algebra 1 and geometry. math is difficult the first time im doing it but when i am doing it often i memorize the steps. i think the best thing is when the teacher explains me step by step and no rush i understand better. im planning to take trigonometry and advanced math.

__** 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.

1) i think its an algebraic expression the transformations they used to solve the equations is 2) they found the less common multiple that is 10 3) first step:multiply whole equation by less common second step: distribute less common multiple mutilply top divide bottom 4)they substract 6x ad they eliminate 6 5) they substract 40 to eliminate it 6)they divide 1 to both side to get the x by itself

7) they put 60 at the x place to find is the equation it's good or not 8)they multiole 60 and divide it by the bottom 9) they find that 60 is was really the x so the equation is good

__** 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? the problem that is easiest to solve is evaluate,and simplifie. i struggle with words problem.it's because i don't really know how to combine them. x you label the first thing they ask you y you label the second thing

__** 1.4: **__List the following words and give a mathematical definition in your own words on your wikispace.
 * Linear Function : a poliniamal function in the first degrees


 * Relation:an abstraction belonging to or characteristic of two entities or parts together
 * Domain: the set of values of the independent variable for which a function is defined
 * Range:the limits within which something can be effective
 * Increasin:g:becoming greater or larger
 * Decreasing: becoming less or small
 * Slope:the property possessed by a line or surface that departs from the horizontal
 * Intercept:the point at which a line intersects a coordinate axis
 * degree is a polynomials with variable and exponent

__** 1.6: **__Below there is a document which 4 linear graphs shown and 6 linear equations given. In a paragraph, describe how you matched each equation to its matching graph and the order in which you matched them. What graphical features did you look at or which parts of that equation did you focus on?

i think number 1 and 4 match with graph b ,because they have the same y intercept and same slope.number 2 and 3 matches with graph d because they have the same slope and y int. number 5 and 7 match have positive slope but different y int. and number 6 match with graph c because 4 is the y int and the slope is negative 1 over 2. after you plug the slope in the good different .if it;s negative it's going to be to the left. positive to the right.

1.7 a =5 . number 1 match with letter B because when i do -a over B and c over B i can find the equation in B and i found the graph which is letter B
b=2. number 2 match with letter f beacause when i found the slope and the y int it was correct.but i couldn't find no graph c=3 number 3 match with letter d and match with the graph D d=4 NUMBER 4 MATCH WITH LETTER C AND MATCH WITH GRAPH B e=6 NUMBER 5 MATCH WITH LETTER A AND ALSO MATCH WITH GRAPH C

f=1 NUMBER 6 MATCH WITH LETTER E AND ASLO MATCH WITH GRAPH A the equations who are in standard form help me to match the equation in a graph.i did -a over b and i found them

1.8 i think anna is driving fast during 6 and 8. because whrn i look at the graph the speed is higher than the other one. anna stopped when is between 4.5 and 5. anna decreasing in 9 ,11.5 and 12 you can see it where the line goes down.at 7 minutes anna'speed is 40. Anne's speed is 40 and she driving 35 miles per hour 8 and 9 minutes.

1.9 so gx is increasing and it's not intersect with fx
