Today I am going to talk about my biggest challenge in math that I have ever had. I am also going to explain how I figured it out and what I did to get help. Well, to start off, the most challenging topic in math that I have learned would probably have to be finding x and y with the graph AND equation. Now I didn't really struggle with anything in math because math is my best subject, so I don't really have a topic that I didn't understand, but this one was the most difficult to learn and succeed in.
Okay, well for algebra, we take mini quizzes every week to see if we are understanding a topic, and I didn't do so well on the test. This was because the quizzes were reworded and that confused me a little bit. However, the next day, we went over the quiz, and I had found my mistakes. Now, almost everyone failed this quiz, but we always get three to four tries on the quizzes. I was also planning to ask for help, but it was just a coincidence that Mr. Erickson was going over it.
It really helped that we went over the quiz in class because that night, I took the quiz b, and I earned a 100%. So, moral of this post, if you EVER need help, you should just ask. After all, you ARE smart, and I will bet that if you ask a question, you will be helping others too. Some people are too afraid to ask, but I'm sure you are not the only one that doesn't understand it.
