Owned? I would have taken 4 years of math anyway; no need to brag, I like it. I guess you don't value it as much, that's fine. But when high school is all said and done, my transcript along with Stretch's will look cooler with 4 years of math. :lol:

Class of 2011 FTW!! :mrgreen:

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Just put it this way...I already graduated...Just missed one of those suma thingies

Math was one of my favorite things in school. Still comes in handy as a mechanic. Especially tallying up the bill.....lol. Seriously though I love it, it's good money and I don't have to wear a suit and tie. :mrgreen:

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Math

Is my UBER weakpoint

I dont Like it, i was never good at it...
And it sucks

But for whatever reason-I freaking LOVE science...Especially Physics...Which is mathematical.

You're weird. :lol:

 

[stretch]

:lol: i love math and science.

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

If you had my teachers-you would understand when i say teachers ruined it for me. Ive had two that were great, and then BOOM...The Dinosaur

 

[stretch]

yeah i totally understand that. the teacher can really make or break the class. i had an art teach who was nuts! i hated her. i love art, but i hated her. i dont even wanna explain why. :roll: :x

 

[outskirtscustoms]

I love music but I had a teacher that really killed it for me. I spent more time in the principal's office than he did during that class.

To the Dingo,

If you get stuck on a problem, use a number line. For reals. As I recall, pre-algebra is all about negative quantities and ratios. You can picture a quantity as a chunk of a number line, then put it left of zero (negative), or chop it into little pieces (ratios). Similar things can be done for exponents, absolute values, multiplication/division by negative numbers, etc.

I'm currently working with fairly advanced statistics, and I think of everything in terms of squares. I guess the downside is that nobody else does, and it takes longer than it should to explain how I did what I did.

I only took 2 years of math in high school, geometry and adv. algebra. My junior and senior year of HS I completely forgot how to do math.

Last year, my first year of college, I had a technical math class that involved a lot of algebra. I was struggling pretty hard at the beginning, but then things started flooding back to me and then I really got the hang of it.

I guess what I'm saying is if you learned math before, but havent been involved in it, maybe it will all come rushing back to you once you get rolling.
Hope all goes well. my classes start a week from today.

DITTO! Long story but, he is right. :!:

Thats Sad for the first day

 

[schwinnmesa]

Yeah, half day**. It's a two hour long class. If science bored me, I would be doomed. :wink: The workload is immense but the subject matter is interesting. :wink:

 

[jonvo4591]

I always found science interesting as well.

 

[stretch]

we had a whole day. love my schedule tho, half is extra-curriculars.

 

[schwinnmesa]

All of us would agree that it has been a long week.

But...

IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!!

I'm cleaning up bike parts! :mrgreen:
