Trouble

The four things that I have trouble with is.Ratios,Fractions,Geomergy,and Algerbra.Those four things are like my pet pevs.They are what get me out of my sleepy mode.Cause they are so hard.When ever I do those four things.They kind of give me a headace.But I t kind of feels good cause after that then it goes away and I get in my math mode.So they are good.Then they are bad.
The first thing that I have trouble with is Algbra.Even thogh it is at the botem of the list.That is my one bigeest pet peves.Like I medtion in the introduction.When I do algebra they give me headaces.And the problems like four x Y = 27 that is what gets on my nerves. I wish that algebara would be a little easier. Like problems like {4x5}= 13x 4= 56 something like that you know.
The second thing that is my pet pev. Is Ratios. They als ogive me headaces cause that hole thing like to divde and multiply that gets on my nerves cause i dont what they say or what they mean. They raitos that I get is the fractions part.And they are confusing with fraction.They sould call it fraction pt 2
The people that can help me is basicly everybody.Cause when I asked for help any body will help me.

Brain Storm

The topic and the name of my game is called Charlies Angles.My game will be a fun and action game.It will have a bunch of cool thing for you to experience.This will be the time of your computer life.The concept is to teach kids education . And the concept is to have fun . And the other thing is to teach you math . That is what I would like to teach kids math . By using a game.The topic is to be math.I want to teach multiplication and division.My goal is to teach kids math.Cause when I grow up I want to be a math teacher.I will look at different game genres. I will take the time to do the research.My will look like two players a agent and or a angle. The agent is the boy and the angle is the girl .So you pick if you want a boy or girl. And they each have different powers.The boy has weapons and the girl can use Kung foo for there powers.And they pick were they want there mission to be. Like a crime or a president in trouble.And it has different levels. They only have 5 levels. And when you go through the levels you will come across different multiplication and division problems in a certain of amount of time.And the first level is is to go through the maze to get the criminal .The second level is to save the cow from going to the glue corporation.The third level is to save the citizen from getting killed.The fourth level is to catch the two halo ring they can make any man or woman powerful by wearing the ring.The last level is to save the president by going through the maze and go through the town and city then you get to the white house and save the president.That is how you play,Charlies Agents And Angles.

Math pt 3

What Im greatful for learning how to convert fractions.I thing that this is important to me cause at first I did not know how to do this kind of activity.I think that is very useful cause if I have a job as a internuy which means I did not go to collage anyway if I had a job about that I would have to know how to convert fraction to a deciamal or a percenteges.And one other job is to be a educator I would have to kow math.I am so thankful to know this stuff and to have a great teacher So THANK YOU Ms Penticuff.

Math pt 2


I think that I did very good but whaen I got my test back I found out that I did not do good.My scoore was a bad grade but I will try my best again and again until I get it right.


I could go to school and do a good job. That means that no fighting and no fooling around. Geting good grades.And to always obey my parents and teachers.And to do my work al l the time.

What math is!!

I think that ALGEBRA is a very nice subject and it is very complicated thing
you have to able to know what the symbols stand for. I think that it came from the ancient Greek cause all mostly math came from ancient Greek.Then they would go to school and learn things like four chips add seven chips how much
would it equal. They had no name for that type of subject. So they called it
Arithmetic. What I learned in math was how to understand how to do algebra.The most
trouble I have in math is Algebra.I would like for Ms Penticuff to tutor me.

Bloxers &

The game bloxers is about math. It is a very fun game but it teaches you how to do
hand I cordanation.Though It is not a part of math it teaches you how to get your way around. Also that is not apart of math it is on the web site cool math games.
I like this game because it is adicting and it is very fun and it makes you focus.

The word "mathematics" comes from the Greek μάθημα (máthēma), which means learning, study, science, and additionally came to have the narrower and more technical meaning "mathematical study", even in Classical times.[9] Its adjective is μαθηματικός (mathēmatikós), related to learning, or studious, which likewise further came to mean mathematical. In particular, μαθηματικὴ τέχνη (mathēmatikḗ tékhnē), in Latin ars mathematica, meant the mathematical art.

The apparent plural form in English, like the French plural form les mathématiques (and the less commonly used singular derivative la mathématique), goes back to the Latin neuter plural mathematica (Cicero), based on the Greek plural τα μαθηματικά (ta mathēmatiká), used by Aristotle, and meaning roughly "all things mathematical"; although it is plausible that English borrowed only the adjective mathematic(al) and formed the noun mathematics anew, after the pattern of physics and metaphysics, which were inherited from the Greek.[10] In English, the noun mathematics takes singular verb forms. It is often shortened to maths, or math in English-speaking North America.

Instructions

1) The aim of the game is to get the block to fall into the square hole at the end of each stage. There are 33 stages to complete.
2) To move the block around the world, use the left, right, up and down arrow keys. Be careful not to fall off the edges. The level will be restarted if this happens.

3) Bridges and switches are located in many levels. The switches are activated when they are pressed down by the block. You do not need to stay resting on the switch to keep bridges closed.

4) There are two types of switches: "Heavy" x-shaped ones and "soft" octagon ones... Soft switches (octagons) are activated when any part of your block presses it. Hard switches (x's) require much more pressure, so your block must be standing on its end to activate them.

5) When activated, each switch may behave differently. Some will swap the bridges from open to closed to open each time it is used. Some will create bridges permanently.

Green or red colored squares will flash to indicate which bridges are being operated.

6) Orange tiles are more fragile than the rest of the land. If your block stands up vertically on an orange tile, the tile will give way and your block will fall through.

7) Finally, there is a third type of switch shaped like this: ( ) It teleports your block to different locations, splitting it into two smaller blocks at the same time. These can be controlled individually and will rejoin into a normal block when both are places next to each other.

8) You can select which small block to use at any time by pressing the spacebar. Small blocks can still operate soft switches, but they aren't big enough to activate heavy switches. Also, small blocks cannot go through the exit hole -- only a complete block can finish the stage.

9) Remember the passcode for each stage. It is located in the top right corner. You can skip straight back to each stage later on by going to "Load Stage" in the main menu and entering the 6 digit level code.

Math pt 1

The area of study known as the history of mathematics is primarily an investigation into the origin of discoveries in mathematics and, to a lesser extent, an investigation into the mathematical methods and notation of the past.

Before the modern age and the worldwide spread of knowledge, written examples of new mathematical developments have come to light only in a few locales. The most ancient mathematical texts available are Plimpton 322 (Babylonian mathematics c. 1900 BC), the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics c. 1850 BC), and the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics c. 1650 BC). All of these texts concern the so-called Pythagorean theorem, which seems to be the most ancient and widespread mathematical development after basic arithmetic and geometry.

The Greek and Hellenistic contribution, influenced as it was by Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics, is generally considered the most important for greatly refining the methods (especially the introduction of mathematical rigor in proofs) and expanding the subject matter of mathematics.[1] Islamic mathematics, in turn, developed and expanded the mathematics known to these ancient civilizations. Many Greek and Arabic texts on mathematics were then translated into Latin, which led to further development of mathematics in medieval Europe.

From ancient times through the Middle Ages, bursts of mathematical creativity were often followed by centuries of stagnation. Beginning in Renaissance Italy in the 16th century, new mathematical developments, interacting with new scientific discoveries, were made at an increasing pace that continues through the present day.
