I just started a College Algebra class this week and had my first test scheduled today.. and I tanked it! Ugh!
This was a take once only test; and when I logged in I clicked the test instead of the practice one, and once I started it I could not exit out. Unfortunately, since I had not completed my study guide and pretest review first.. I was not prepared.
I hate that this happened because it will hurt my grade in this class, but it's week one; therefore, I have to buckle down and work hard to get all the points I can for the rest of this class.
I hate algebra, but I will get through it.. I only have this one and one more Math class to take, so it's all good! (lol)
I hate that I just tanked my Math test.. but mistakes happen (like my little mix-up) and I haven't really put in the time in that I should have this week either, it have been chaotic.. With my husband in the ER, had a baby stroller to make, work, school, kids, and home (just to name a few) I have put off school when I shouldn't have!
Next week is going to be different... I can do this if I set my mind to it! I will not tank my test next week!!
The thing that helped me with Algebra was relating it to the real world. I used Algebraic formulas to design a screen saver of colored squares and circles. You can also do this with a graphic calculator.
ReplyDeleteHey Jim,
DeleteI find that relating the equations to the real world is helpful in so many ways!
I would love to get to the point where I can design stuff with them.. would love to see your design.
Thanks for visiting, Hope you come back!
