Writing or typing about math really helps me learn because I have to go back and see what something was about. Like if I forgot something about fractions and one of my assigned blogs is about fraction. Then I have the opportunity to go back and review that topic about fractions. Like if I needed help with pi and my next blog is about pi then I get to look at what I need help with.So if you know any other way of how writing or typing about math will help someone learn, then feel free to write it the comments. 

So that's how it helps me, you can use this method if you are attending my school, and you have a problem with math. I don't think that there are other ways about how writing or typing about math could help you. Once again if you know any other way that typing could help you learn math, then feel free and make a comment about it. So now that you guys know how writing or typing helps me with learning math, you guys could do it too, or you can find some other way. So thank you guys for reading this blog and I will see you guys next tie with another "Math Mondays" blog post. 
 
The most challenging thing this year about math was probably finding percentges from the amounts of a number or money or something. I forgot what it is called, but it is really hard to me. We had to find percentages from money and numbers and the numbers and amounts were called discounts and taxes, and interest. it's really hard and it is used in every day life basically ecause of taxes and stuff. 

So the way I over came this obstacle was by looking in the textbooks, and listening to the teacher. Now i still haven't got it down where I'm a master at it, but at least I knew hot to do it and what were the factors and stuff. So thank you for tunning in on this blog and I will see you guys later with another "Math Mondays" blog post. 
 
Science and math are very similar in many ways. They also work together to find the answer to something. Science needs math to solve physics questions and math needs science to solve problems that might involve a plane or something. So they both cooperate with each other to solve a problem. N.A.S.A. needs math and science in order to make anything work in their job. 

They needed the space to go the moon, and they did. So they needed math to solve problems with food capacity and how much in the engine they needed. they also needed science to solve a problem with weight, and that there's no gravity in space. So even though they are both different, there are similarities, and they also need to work together in order to do something incredible. So now that you know how science and math are alike I will see you guys later with another "Math Mondays" blog.
 
If you weer to use negative numbers in real life then they would probably be used like this. If you were asked to Subtract something in let's say a restaurant, And the number you subtract is bigger then the number subtracting. Then you can tell the manager or something that something is wrong. Or if you used too much money in your bank account then the amount of money you have will be in the negatives. Then with each time you earn money that negative will move closer to the positives until it is a positive and you get to use the money. 

So negative numbers can be used in real life, you just need to know when and where they maybe used. Like in a restaurant and someone made a mistake, so the answer would be a negative. or if you use too much money in your bank account and the amount you have will be in the negatives. But the negative will disappear eventually. So this is how negatives can and will be used in real life . I will see you guys later with another Math Mondays blog post next week.
 
Here's how to solve this equation 2x-7=15. I mean it gives you the answer but how do we find the value of X. Weel in this blog we are going to solve this problem. First off we have to do the opposite of what it says. Like it says to subtract 7 so instead we are going to add 7. So we add seven to both sides, so -7+7 = 0 and 15 +7 = 22. So now the equation is 2x = 22 so now all we have to do is the opposite. 

So instead of multiplying 2 we have to divide by 2. So 22 /2 equals 11. So the equation will now be x=11. So now that we have solved the problem all we need to do is double check and make sure that it is correct. So replace the x with 11 and we get 2 times 11 -7 equals 15. So if I did my math correct then the answer is right. Now that you know how to do t you try this on future problems and I will see you guys later. 
 
Changing a decimal to a fraction is really dificult to some people like myself. But there are ways you can get through that hardship. The first thing is knowing how to change it obviously. one way i know of doing that is putting it over 100 hundred. Say you have 25%, you put that over 100. That would look like 25/100, then you just reduce, which would be 5/20, then 1/4. So then you find out that 25% is 1/4 fourfth of 100. 

But sometimes it isn't that easy like 33%, you have to do the same step 33/100. Then you can't reduce it because they arebn't equal to each other and then you could just leave it there like that or get really serious and go to decimals. You would divide by 2 and get 16.5 over 50. Then you can even go deeper than that but I'm not going to waste your time on that so yeah. if you guys have any other ways let me know, and I will see you later.
 
I think that the easiest way to convert fractions into decimals is to Get the denominator and divide it into the numerator. Like 4 3 you would get .75 then you just move the decimal over twice and you get 75 %. It's really easy, and it works with every faction like 1/2 would be .5 then 50%. But sometimes fractions aren't that easy to work with. Like 1/3 You would get like .3333333333333333333333333333... and it would go on forever so you just take the first three or two places and use that as your decimal. So it would be 33 or 33.3. 

Now that you know about that there are other ways of doing this I honestly don't know much of them, because I never learned other ways. Well I probably did but I didn't pay attention or something like that. So I'm sorry that I do't know any other ways of turning a fraction into a decimal, but maybe yo know one that I don't If you do then I would nicely ask for you to post it in the comments box and I will see you guys later.
 
I think the most important math lesson I learned last quarter was the pathogen theorem. I think it was important because in the 8th grade, high school, and college I'm pretty sure we will use it in math. It teaches us that in order to find the missing side of the triangle, you have to square the hypotenuse with the given side then add them to find the side. The hypotenuse is the longest and the biggest side of the triangle.

I think it will help me because when there is a test coming up and there is a question involving the pathogen theorem, I will be prepared and know what to do. Since this school teaches us to be prepared for high-school, then I figure that if I don't get the hang of the theorem then I won't be able to survive in high-school. next year I will be in Algebra and then in high-school and eighth grade algebra, I'm pretty sure that they will use the pathogen theorem.
 
Exponents are like a number with a little number next to it but above it. Like three and then a little two next to it but above. It would look like this 3 times three then the answer would be nine. But this is a common mistake some people put three times two. This is because they see a three with a two, so they just times three times two. But really they have to Do three two times instead of three times two. But it's not just three and two, it can be five and four or twelve and two. I know that sometimes they can seem scary because some have big numbers like twelve with a little two. It is a big umber and it is scary but just do it on a piece of paper or in your head if you can.

If you have a times table somewhere easy to find then you can just look there. Or if you think you can do it your self you can do it in your head or on your paper or something. But the answer would be twelve times twelve which would be 144. But if you are really stumped like twelve with a little twelve, boy oh boy. Then you should probally use a cal 
 
I think that the hardest math lesson for me to learn was multiplication. When I was younger, I just couldn't get it. But when I could do it, I would be slow, and it would take me a minute to do like ten multiplication problems. It took me a long time to finally get the hang of it. Like I thought that when you multiply 10 and 5 it would equal 15. I thought that you replace the zero with five, and that's how you do it. 

But in second grade my teacher would give us multiplication sheets to do in class, and there would be levels like up to level 12 I think. It all depends on how much you could do in a matter of time. The levels were like if you were on level ten you would be multiplying by ten. So that helped me a lot, and I got faster, and it became easier. I found out that in that equation 10 times 5  you have to replace the one with five not zero. But I also learned the whole thing of multiplication, not just that problem. So that's how I basically learned from my mistake in multiplication, and how I got better. From then on it was easy and now I'm a pro, not to brag and all. I'm not that pro, but I'm pro enough.
