Yay to the billionth power!

I am very proud to announce that today we got our 100 point math tests back! I got a 90%!!!! Only one girl in my class got a 100%; Sydney B. I totally bombed the last two questions, though.

But that's okaaaaaayyyy!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful wintry day!!!!!!!!! (For explanation, go to http://www.makingfiends.com/ episode 14)

Yipee! Hooray! Zipideedoodah!!!!

Word Problems Are Not My Thing

I don't know if anyone else finds this, but I do not like word problems in Math. If it's laid out for me "5x+(2x3)=-20", plain as day, then I'm fine. But if it's all confusing like "At Water Works Amusement Park, the daily profit from the concession stand depends on the number of park visitors. The equation p=2.50v-500 gives the estimated profit p in dollars........" ARGH!!! It's so confusing!! I hate them!!!

Tests Galore

Wow, we are having a lot of tests lately!! On Friday we had to take a Math test, today we had to take a Science test, and on the 9th we have to take this GINORMOUS 100 point unit test in Math that is going to be TERRIZBLE! We have to take little quizzes on "Ender's Game" in LA/SS every time we read a new chapter. Tests are not my thing. Unless they're open journal, my brain freezes and forgets most everything I've been taught. It's not fun.

Math Test Madness

Yesterday in 4th Period Math I got my math test back. Mrs. S told us that the class average was a 68%, so I was a little nervous. I got a B-. Not bed, when you consider that the class average was a D. My friend Morgan got .5 points less than me, but she got a grade lower than me. I could tell she was really ticked off. I think I had one of the best scores in the class. When you think about it, that's REALLY sad, that a B- was one of the best scores. I asked Taylor B. what score she got and she said "Really bad." and walked away. Mrs. S's 4th period isn't the sharpest, if you get my drift.
