For example,  a doctor needs to know how many bottles of insulin to add to a patient's diet.  I hate word problems like the ones we do now are ten times harder. My past teachers have helped me with different ways of doing the same problem. Their different ways made me understand better.]]> 2016-05-10 17:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110168307 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110168432 Math will help me in my future because I want to be a stand up comedian, and if that blows I will go to college. Math is a weakness of mine because some of the past teachers have not articulated the problem very well, and that made me very upset because when I would ask I would say that I did not get the problem they will get mad at me.
Me as a math student, well it's a train wreck, I do not like asking questions because I do not want people to make fun of an answer that is wrong. My strengths would be the basics such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.  I am really good at those because I have done them for a really long time. In 3rd grade when we started multiplying my teacher asked if I could try it out, I slumped in my chair and I did not want to do it. Then, she asked me again and I tried, and then I ran back to my seat because I did not want my friends to make fun of me.
Every time I do math, it's very frustrating, I feel stupid because I do not know what is going on and I do not know how to do it. My past teachers have helped me a lot. The teachers that have helped me the most would be Mrs.Morgan, and Mrs. Schopp. They helped me grow in the math world and they told me to never to give up. Now my teacher helps me even more at school. At my old school my teachers thought I was smart enough to do it by myself. They always thought I was smart. When I came back to Leroy a new door opened to me when I came to Mrs. Harris' class. She helped me with a bunch of new things like multiplying fractions and dividing decimals, and a bunch of other things. I actually got it, she knows what I need in 6th grade and I will miss her very much. She helped me when I was needing help and I got it, I do not have the best grade in math, but Mrs. Harris and I go over  it again. Math has had a negative and positive impact on my life.

Math is involved in acting because if  you act you have to know the frames and know where step. For example, if a frame is a 4 by 2 you have to know where to step. How math is involved in singing is how long the song is, where the spot light is positioned, and how long you have to hold a note. 
      I honestly love math and I feel that I am really good at it. Math is not my favorite subject but it's one of them. 
       Last year I didn't have a great experience with math and my math teacher. I felt like if I asked a question I would get yelled at or feel stupid because that's kind of how she made me feel. Also, she didn't really explain it well. My current teacher is really good at explaining math because she has a huge passion for it, and if I asked her a question I won't feel judged or uncomfortable with her. Also, I don't feel scared around her I feel like I can say anything and if I talked to her she with really listen and understand.]]> 2016-05-10 17:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110168537 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110168852          Math will help me with my future career because I want to be a vet tech. Being a vet tech means that you have to calculate numbers for vitals, measure size of the animal, adjusting medications, height and weight, pricing, inventory of supplies, and how much time you have to complete surgery. 
          I think that I am not the worst at math, but I am not the best either. I don't mind math, but it is not my favorite subject. I am kind of in the middle at math. I am pretty good at it though. I like math.
          I think that I am pretty positive with math. If I had a hard math problem, I would keep trying to know matter what. All of the teachers I have had help me if I am having trouble with a problem. Sometimes if it is one of the more easy problems, they would tell me to try again and if I don't get it, they would help me. If I had to pick a choice to have different teachers to teach me math, I would never change because all the teachers I have had gave me the best help I could have. The teacher I have right now, helps me with everything. She knows every question I have and could answer any question I have. I would never be scared to ask her a question. If I didn't understand it she would never get mad, and she would help me through the problem. She would help me until I understood. Mrs.Harris is my teacher right now, if I ever wanted a teacher to teach me math it would be her. She is really understanding, and always stays positive when she helps me. Not just me, everybody. I wouldn't change anything about the teachers I have had.]]> 2016-05-10 17:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110168852 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110168853 I hope to be a baseball player or a basketball player, and it requires math. In baseball there's ERAs, batting average, and RBIs that all require math. 
As a math student I think that math is one of my strengths because I do well in it.  I have a positive view about math because my teachers have helped me over the years and I feel confident.]]> 2016-05-10 17:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110168853 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110168920 Math will help me with my future career because I want to be a zoo keeper. Zoo keepers need to calculate how much food you give to the animals and the amount of medicine needed when there are sick. I am a good at math, but I do get confused if the teacher doesn't explain. Last year my teacher didn't explain the worksheet on the day of the bike hike and I couldn't figure out what to do and the teacher didn't even help at all. Mrs. Harris helps a lot if I got confused, and she explains the worksheet before we start. ]]> 2016-05-10 17:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110168920 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110169141 Even though I do not know what I want to be when I grow up I use math every day. Also, I know it is all around me.
I get math very well and I do not need much help. I am an A student in math. I also really like math.
I really like it because it is all around me and I use it all the time. Even though some of my teachers were not so good in math I still got it.]]> 2016-05-10 18:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110169141 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110169201 Math helps me  with my future career because I want to be a financial adviser. I need to know math because financial advisers need to work with money and numbers. My favorite math teacher is Mrs. Harris because she is enthusiastic about math.]]> 2016-05-10 18:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110169201 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110170627         Math will help me with my future goals because I want to be a teacher for 1st grade and you have to teach math. And you have to do the kids grades. 
        I think it takes me time. But once I get the hang of it I get it. it makes since to me. 
         My esteem is I guess OK. Because I don´t really rambler much. But know I know its OK to ask questions.  ]]> 2016-05-10 18:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110170627 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110170998 Math will help with my future career because I want to be a video game maker. It will help me because I have to use math to calculate certain angles to place the characters in that direction.
I view myself as a fair math student. I say this because there are some subjects I get, some subjects I am able to partially complete, and some subjects I do not understand. For example, I got adding integers I got easily, I got subtracting integers fairly easily, and dividing I did not understand  so much.
As said, I think I am a fair math student. I say this because in past issues I have not understood the subject. For example, I used to not get dividing fractions in fourth grade, but my teacher helped me through it by showing me how to do it correctly.

I feel good about math. and I am good at understanding new ways.
I feel good about math. Mrs. Harris and Mrs. King have made me feel good about math.]]> 2016-05-10 18:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110172029 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110173853 Math will help me reach my future goal of being a director, because I have to be good with measurements and dealing with money for a budget and know the measurements for the sets.
I don't understand math. I don't understand it because sometimes, the way I learned it is they explained it at my old school was the most complicated way possible. So now as  I go from one school to the next, I am starting to understand more. The thing that confuses me the most is that there are so many different ways to do it that it confuses my thinking. My math esteem is pretty average. I consider my self satisfyingly good at math when I understand it]]> 2016-05-10 18:17:56 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110173853 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110362178           Math  will  help  me  with   music  because  there  are fourth  notes,  half  notes,  with  notes,  and  etc.  I  have to  count  the  beat  and  all  of those  things. 
          Math  has  always  been a  big  weakness  for  me because  when  I  ask questions  I  can't  explain what  I'm  trying  to  say. Which  some  of  my  past teachers  would  yell  at  me just  because  I  struggle  trying  to  out  my  thoughts into  words.  When  I'd struggle  they'd  make  it worse.  The  didn't  listen  to reasoning  of  how  I  got  my  answer.  A  few  times  the teachers  would  have  the take  me  over  by  the  door while  everyone's  door  was opened  and  yelled.  People  from  the  other  classes  watched  same  as  the  people  in  my  class.
          I  was  working  on  my  test one  day  and  she  wanted  me  to come  to  the  back  table  I  asked if  I  could  stay  at  my  sit  then she  said  "Would  You  rather  get help  and  get  an  A+  or  not  do good?"  I  got  up  and  walked  over  and  sat  down  and  she watched  me  correcting  everything  I  did.  It  made  me  feel  like  an  Idiot.  People  at  the table  watched  as  she  kept  saying  I  was  wrong.  I  was  trying to  show  her  how  and  she  got  mad  and  yelled  at  me.  All  I could  do  was keep  working.  She took  my  paper  and  started erasing  them. She  made  me  do  it  her  way.  Out  of  the  hour  I only  got one  down  from  using  her  way  because  I  didn't understand how  to  do  it.  So after  I  did  it  her  way,  I  turned  it  in.   When  I  got  it  back  I started  getting  even  more  stressed out.
          My  math  esteem  is  not  to high  but  this  year  it  is  more  high  than  other  years.  My  teacher  this  year  helps  me  with  lots  of  things,  she  understands what  I  am  trying  to  say  when  I ask  a  question. She  actually  listens  to  me.  She  does  make me  feel  very  smart  even  if  I  am wrong.  It  helps  me  a  lot  with  the  math  esteem.  She  honestly  is  an  amazing.  She  is  very  helpful  in  so  many  ways.  She  does  boast the  makes  somewhat  "easier"  for  me  because  she  shows ways  that  I  can  understand.  And  if  I don't  understand  she  explains  it  step  by  step.]]> 2016-05-11 15:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110362178 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110365053 I don't think that math is my strong point, but there are some parts that I am good at . One of the thing that I am good at is using pi. I can memorize 56 digits of pi, and name them in one 30 seconds. I also think that the one thing that I struggle with in math is the one the only division with algebra.]]> 2016-05-11 16:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110365053 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110421593 Math will help me with my future career because. I want to be a video game maker with Jacob. Because we make a good team.
I see my self as a good at math because. It is just ease to under stand and just because other people are not that grate at math. That means I can help them and get them to under stand what is going on. last year in math ms.p. She  will come over to me and tell me I am not right and she tells me to get a new paper and come over to the blue desk. And I got super mad I will never for get this.]]> 2016-05-11 19:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110421593 https://padlet.com/stiger08/5mxotswcqy3v/wish/110567444     Math will help me in the future because I want to be a musician. I will have to add up decimals to find the cost of instruments or other equipment.  Math isn't my favorite subject, but I understand it.  Sometimes I have to have someone explain how to do something in order to understand it, but after it is explained I understand it.
    Mrs. Harris always goes over problems that I don't understand until I feel confident enough to work on my own and I'm very thankful for that.
