7 things that make students weak in math.

It says the number one thing that makes students weak in math is fraction. I don't exactly agree. I believe the thing that makes or breaks a student is the environment we work in. In elementary school i always had trouble concentrating on the work. I would always be reading posters or looking at other students work on the walls. Being a class with my friends with no posters and no distractions is actually very helpful.

Fractions (eww gross)

I don't like fractions. They scare the crap outta me. I can work with them, but that doesn't mean that i like them. I still can't reduce or simplify, or whatever. Fractions may suck, but they are pretty useful. Going in to grade 9, i could not do fractions for the life of me. I have most definitely learned a lot here. Im also so excited to learn more.

Marks.

I really don't know how we are marked. I know that we get deducted marks for nhi's. (Not handed in) i think i need to learn more about how we are marked. It could seriously help me with my grades. :P

Calculators

I love my calculator. Its AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! It can solve equations, add, subtract,divide multiply and it has exponents it gas brackets, and it doesn't have a number amount limit. Its just the greatest calculator EVER.
But, people still need to know how to do math without calculators. Thats my thought on this.

App Review

My favourite app for the iPad is algebra touch. You move the numbers and learn how to solve the equations. I couldn't solve equations for the life of me. Now i have an idea. I can do the math and solve for x.
My least favourite is dragon box. It doesn't make sense. It has nothing to do with math and i hate it with a passion.
