Elementary Math Class


The math class that I have been in this semester has been nice. It has been helping me to understand the concepts of math. In the class we were not allowed to use calculators up until now, but I had thought that I was going to have a hard time with the class because I could not use a calculator. With the class being elementary math I should not have been worried about it because the numbers are not going to be huge that a calculator would be needed. I had just gotten use to using the calculator on my phone for everything. After going through the first chapter we were doing I had realized that I was worried for no reason and would not have a problem doing the work.  

I have not been having trouble understanding how to do everything in the class. The only thing is the homework’s that we have to do they are called take home there are a few different problems that we have to do. The problems themselves are not hard to do it is when I have to do the explanation of how to do it. I have been pretty much getting the same grade each one we do. I do think that I put more into the explanations each time I do them but I guess not. When we were going over the fractions chapter in the class, I had thought that I was going to do awful and not understand any of it because I never was able to understand it and do the work right. After learning and going through all of it I had a better understanding of it and I did not find it to be as hard as I had originally thought it was. I had also done well on the test when I had thought I was going to fail it.  

The class really is not that bad at all. It had helped me to understand the meaning behind keep, change, flip and why it is that it needs to be done. Just as well why it is we do certain things for each problem that we have. I had found math interesting going into this class so as I am learning about why it is we do what we do for the problems; math becomes even more interesting to me. This math class has made me even more interested into understanding the importance of the concepts that we use each time we use math.
