Thessa's Math Profile

Ey, my name is Thessa Baldo-Oduca and I am a grade 8 student as SPS. If you were to ask me if I liked math, I'd honestly say no. Math is one of my weak subjects in school and I sometimes have a hard time understanding it. One of the best things I've done in math class was using smiley faced erasers to learn how to add and subtract when I was younger. It was a very fun activity that I always looked forward too.

One of the best units I studied last year in grade seven would have to be finding the Measurements of Tendency. Like the mean, median, mode, range and outliers. It was the most easiest because it was either simple math or an obvious answer. The unit I most struggled in was Translation, Reflection and Rotation. I knew the definitions, but I did not know how to show it on the coordinate grid. Also, to not struggle in math this year, I will ask more questions when I don't understand the topic, study more and harder, and do my work/homework on time. 

This year for grade 8 I will raise my hand if I know the answer, pay attention instead of socializing, ask questions if I do not understand , help others when they need help, study hard, and do my homework to become a successful math student. Also, I'm up for learning anything new! :) Just as long as Mr. Harbeck explains and gives real life explains to the topic we're learning! 

Last year, my favourite post I did was on Random.

Blogging helped me become a better student because I remembered definitions more. And if I forgot to bring my study sheets home, I could just look on the blog and study from there! Also, if I missed a day of school, I would know what my classmates did in class because of the blogs. In math when we are on the computers, I would like to go on some websites online and play some math games. It would make math more fun!
