Math Class

Math Class Jewelya Griffey

                This year I am taking Algerbra 1. I passed a test to get into the class. The course is what high schoolers’ take when they are freshman if they didn’t take the class in eighth grade. There are some seventh graders in my class that took a test in 6^th grade so they could go to 7^th grade math. Next year I will be in geometry. Most of the people in that class will be sophmores.

                The class was quite easy starting off, but it got progressively harder. I’m taking a test tomorrow over graphing absolute value, piece wise functions, inequalities, and step piece wise. It’s really complicated. We are also learning how to add and subtract polynomials.

I used to despise math class and I would go in and sleep but still pass the class. But now I look forward to it (if Mr. List is in a good mood). Mr. List makes learning fun. He makes jokes and makes the class laugh but he also can be serious and help us learn. He understands that we all have our way of learning and can teach us in different ways. He rewards us if we do good which makes us want to do good.

Mr goldings class used to be fun (when I wasn’t sleeping) I just had it a bad hour I had it seventh hour and I was tired by then. We used to throw paper balls when he would turn around. But that is besides the point. I think mr gouldings class would’ve been 100x better if we didn’t have those big ol digits books.

iPads

   I think that students should have gotten laptops instead of Ipad’s because it’s easier to type essays that you need to turn in. The laptop even has ten times more storage than the Ipad. They can also, with the right software can play or display any software. Ipad’s also have no way of adding storage so you’re stuck with the limited storage that you buy.

New App

A new app by Jestin Taylor

                My script calculator is an easy to use calculator app. The idea of it is that all you have to do is simply write the equation on your iPhone and watch it translate your handwriting into an answer. It fixes some of the other problems that calculators have too. You can easily write over the equations that you’ve already written, save multiple equations that you need for a long problem, and even type in symbols such as pi.

                There are many people who would want to use this app, but I think that the main people who would want to use this are students. Calculators tend to be an added expense to the back to school budget, but almost everyone has a phone. This app is free and can be used instead of a general calculator, considering it has a few extra functions. The only downside to the app is that it doesn’t have any function in terms of variables and graphing. In all, this is a generally good app for students everywhere.

iPads

IPads by: ashlynne Dempsey

                I don’t think that the 6^th graders should’ve gotten there iPads first. One reason I don’t think they should’ve because they are the youngest in middle school and they are not as responsible as the 8^th graders. I get that the freshman’s get them because the seniors don’t need them because they graduate this year. Even though I have an iPad at home I still think that they would help at school so we don’t have so many papers.

                I think that iPads have encouraged the 6^th graders to work more because they want to be on the iPad. My brother will always bring his home and he will do his homework on it then play games. They are especially good for the kids who don’t get to have that type of stuff at their house.  Im so excited to get mine next year.

               

Gym

      In gym usually we warm up for five minutes, and then play a random game for the rest of the time. Some people think that we need more exercise and less games. I think we should do what we do now.

      The games get people into exercising and they don’t know. If we were to do exercising things, then we wouldn’t do it they would just get bored. This is why is think that we should keep doing what we do now.
