Today in Math, we had our test on Rational Expressions. I don't think any of the students were ready for it. Everyone I talked to thinks they failed. Hopefully we will have a re-test in January sometime.

Today in Math, we just reviewed for our test tomorrow. The main theme is Rational Expressions, which I'm not very good at. I think I'm going to go to tutoring after school so I can learn a little more about how to simplify the expressions.

Today in Math, we started with mental math. It was last one on the sheet, so the students added up their average percentage. I got 77.5%, which I think is really good. The rest of the class, we learned about Cubes. We learned about their volumes, surface areas, and the relationships in 3-D objects. I think most of the students find it pretty easy.

Today in Math, most of the students had a re-test on Radicals. I didn't do it because I think I got a good mark on the test overall. I just worked on Accelerated math, I don't know how to do most of the stuff that's on it, so I'm just doing the stuff I do know, and then I'm going to ask Mr. Maksymchuk about the rest of it.

Today in Math, we started with mental math. I was surprised because usually we never do mental math on Day 2 because of short blocks. That took most of the class. Mr. Maksymchuk gave us a Geometry worksheet to work on, it involves looking up some stuff on the Internet. I think it's due before Christmas.

Today in Math, we started with mental math. I did pretty good except on 1 question I had a bit of a brain fart. We learned more about Simplifying Rational Expressions. I think it's getting easier for the students each day. I know it is for me.

Today in Math, we skipped mental math because of the short blocks. We learned more about Rational Expressions. I understand the factoring part but I don't quite all the reducing parts.

Today in Math, we learned a bit more about Rational Expressions. It involves quite a bit of Factoring, which I am pretty good at. We had the rest of the class to catch up on Accelerated Math and the Accumulative Exercises.

Today in Math, we started to learn about Simplifying Rational Expressions. It helps me out because that's almost where I am in accelerated math.

Today in Math, we discussed a bit more about when our next few tests would be. I'm thinking about doing the re-test now because I didn't do too well on it, but I know how to do most of the stuff I messed up on. We had the rest of the class to work on accelerated math.

Today in Math, we did mental math. I got 100%. We had the rest of the class to work on accelerated math and accumulative exercises. I just finished a big exercise and started doing the test for it. We also got our tests back, and discussed when we would be having our next test. The test this Thursday is based on Trigonometry, but it's optional as only 4 students have done any Trig in accelerated math. I will probably be doing it as I think I'm good at Trig.
