Today I will blog about a game that I played. The game I played was about math. In the game I had to multiply two numbers and find the qoutient. I found the game challenging and played a while more. At first the game was a little confusing and then after a while I got a lot better at this game. While I was playing this game I realized that this game could help me get better at math. Also in this game I had to multiply negative and positive numbers. This game was really fun and I liked it.

   Today I am going to explain why an Inequality with ''equal to'' needs a closed dot rather than a open one. I did not understand this until I asked my Pre -Algebra teacher. He explained it to me this morning. He told me that many people did not know this either. He said it is because the closed dot resembles ''equal to''. Mr.Dorman even gave me example on it too. It was more of an equation he made me solve. 

When he finished explaining this Inequality I think I came out understanding this better and I feel that I could explain it to a friend if they needed me too, however there is still things that I need to learn so that I can better understand Math.

 
  In math I am learning about fractions and intagers. I am also learning about decimals. My pre-algebra teacher is Mr.Dorman. We took a test a week ago on adding and subtracting integers. Most of us passed it. In math class I am learning how to make a mixed fraction into a proper fraction. Mr.Dorman said we are going to take a quiz on Friday.

I am studying really hard for this quiz because I want to make sure I pass. I have found that Pre-algebra is a little bit hard for me because I have not had this before we worked a little in grade school learning pre-algebra but it was nothing like this class. I hope I do good and I will study hard.

 
    The reason why a fraction gets smaller is because the numerator is a big number. The bigger the numerator and denominater the more you can reduce it. Reducing is another word for making it smaller. I learned this in math class a couple of days ago. My teacher is Mr.Dorman. He is the one who told me this. I still remember this from the sixth grade. My teacher's  name was Ms.G. 



Ms. G taught  us a lot about getting ready for Pre-algebra and helping us understand a little better. I was not expecting Pre-algebra to be so hard. I thought it would be a breeze but I am learning that I have to study to make sure I understand math better.
 
    In this blog I'am going to tell you why there are so many numbers between 0 and 1. The reason why is because between 0 and 1 are fractions and decimals. At first it was confusing for me, but then  I asked my mom. She told me there are many deimals like 0.1. I still did not understand so today I asked my Pre - Algebra teacher. 


Mr. Dorman was not here on the day I ask this question and the sub could not explain why there was so many numbers. So I just tried to figure out why there are so many numbers but I still am not really sure why there are so many numbers but I think it may have something to do with mathematicians. 
 
          Today I will explain how to solve a problem without using Division. I will solve 2x=16. First you will look at the problem. Then you keep multiplying until you get to sixteen. You would start at one and keep going until you get to sixteen. At the end your answer should be 8. I learned this from my math teacher earlier today. Yesterday when I had to pick up my brother and sister from school, I asked my sixth and fifth grade teacher. They said the same thing.


When solving a problem you need to really make sure that you understand the problem and how you should start to solve. You must make sure that the problem is explained to you and if you don't understand the problem then you should ask someone for help.

     Today I will be blogging about my favorite type of math. My favorite math is integers. I like integers because I am very good at it. I always get answers right when it is about integers. I also like Integers because they are very easy. Integers are my best prospective in mathematics.


I took the time to ask my family what their favorite part of math was and my mom said she liked adding the best because it was the easiest of math problems. My dad said he liked any type of math because he was always good at math. My little sister said she didn't like math because it could be so confusing. My little brother is just learning how to add and subtract and multiplication so he doesn't really like math either. When he learns how to do math I think he will like it.
