Bennette's Math Profile

Hi there! My name is Bennette. I am a math student in Grade 8. If someone will ask if I like math, I would say YES because I like figuring out puzzles and math can help me in my everyday life. The best thing that I ever did in math class is when I was in Grade 6, we have to race to answer a long- division question on a blackboard. It was intense because me and my other classmates versed the math geniuses in our class. It was fun though, all of us had a great time especially because of my classmates that are so loud.

In Grade 7, the best topic I like is BEDMAS. At first, I found it a bit challenging and confusing but of course at the end, I learned it successfully. The unit that made me struggle is the coordinate grid when we have to rotate, reflect, and slide the triangle labelled with letters. This year, I will ask questions if I don't understand the topic because last year, I didn't really ask questions about the topic. I will also study harder for my test and quizzes to get high marks and I will finish all my homeworks to hand-in in time.

This is now Grade 8. To be a better student this year, I will finish all my homework, listen carefully to our class discussions, ask my friends for help if I struggle on answering some questions, and come to class with attitude. I will participate in class by putting my hand up to answer questions and to share my answer. That way, I could be a better student. I am looking forward on learning how to solve different kinds of equations and problems to get ready for Grade 9.

I was a blogger last year. I made this post http://room42math09.blogspot.com/2010/05/algebra-t-chart-and-linear-graph.html

last year about Algebra, T-Chart and Linear Graph. I am proud of my post because I included pictures, links for videos, and I think I explained it well. Lots of my classmates commented on my post. Blogging made me a better student because I learned a lot of new things about making my own blog, and if I'm away, I just have to look on my classmate's blog to catch up on our homework and discussions. What I want to do this year on the computer in math class is learn more new things. I would like to explore the world of math that I haven't learned before by searching in different math sites.
