  1. I preferred algebra much more over geometry. I actually might be taking Linear Algebra next semester but don't be fooled, it's not the algebra you might think 

  2. Agreed. Algebra is better 

  3. Factoring perfect square trinomials like a boss 

  4. The quadratic formula more than anything is just a lot of work. I actually rarely have to use it because most of the problems that my teachers give me are friendly enough to factor out 

  5. Perfect squares make it soooo much easier.

  6. I hate it when you get questions like

    95billionX^978 plus -854967xy 0.0001 y.

    -.- really though?

  7. Another thing I hated was in elementary school, when you went over the same concept for a week. What sucks even worse is when you clearly understand the concept and they give you the longest problem ever. For example we went over Oder of operations for maybe a week or two. Then our teacher would give us problems with like 15 terms in them. Just annoying.

  8. Thank you. ,_,


    I'm so sorry, but can you show me another example? I think I've got it but I want to be sure... ,_,

  9. I guess I hated in middle school when a teacher would assign 60 problems over the easiest concept ever and it got really repetitive. As for the slow pace of your elementary, I will say that my university goes at lightning pace in my math classes. I did three semesters worth of calculus crammed into two semesters. The teacher does a problem or two really fast with skipping steps and then moves on to a new concept and goes through many concepts each class! In a one hour class one day we did four different lessons which included an entire chapter in the book !! The teacher also never goes back to review before tests either lol

  12. Here Chloe I scribbled some stuff of both. You can try working them out too if needed to see if you can get the answers.

  13. Yea blockey I understand. I was referring to when you were in elementary sorry 
     
    #313 Supa_Cop_Killa, Apr 14, 2012
  14. Oohh lol  I'd prefer it way to fast as opposed to way too slow. I can study if I need to, and at least im learning new concepts. Too slow, I'm just wasting my time.

  15. Thanks again. ,_,

    I don't want to be stuck in 6th grade. O.O

  17. Lol blockey you may like college then 

    I do fine in my math class but I'll say that my physics class is out of this planet  I learn nothing in class and learn all of my physics when I get tutored (for free) by other students at my school who are getting their phd. The university pays them to be a tutor and help.

  18. Lol sry Chloe 6th grade sux but it will get better 

  19. I'm nearing the end of the term, and after summer holidays I'll be in G7... I just hope the C.A.T tests have Social Studies in them...
