Emily's Math Profile

Hi my name is Emily. I go to Sargent Park school and am in grade 8. If I were asked if I liked math I would have to d=say it depends on the teacher. Take Mr. Isfeld for example, Sometimes he scared me. Sometimes he was hard to follow. But mostly he was a ver good teacher. Now Harbec, I have heard very good things about you and I hope I have just as good a year as my sister did.

The unit I did best in last year was Mean, median and mode because I liked how easy and striaght forward it was. I struggled in most-no all of the math units last year. But the one that was the hardest was multipliying decimals, fractions and mixed numbers. It was very complicated for me because whenevr I thought I thought I had it right I was still doing something wrong. What I could do this year in grade 8 to help me understand....

1. Pay extra close attention in class
2. Make sure I understand all my homework
3. Ask questions even if Im scared to

What could I do yo become a better student....

1. Stay organized
2. Keep track of unfinished work
3. Keep track of finished work.
4. Do all homework
5. Studie for tests


This year I dont know what I want to learn about. But whatever it is I hope its not to hard. This is a blog I worked really hard on last year. Its an exam review for circumference and area of a circle. Blogging helps me to get better at working with the computer and is helpful if I dont have the math homework assigned for the day. I want to find some helpful math websites which I could use if I dont understand something in math on the computer.

  1. Emily, Ihope your sister's opinion is right that Harbeck is a great teacher, but judging by the time we had with him I think that this year is going to be one of the best classes we've ever taken!

  10. Great post Emily. You said a lot of things that made a lot of sense- Isfeld scared me too. However, next time, you might want to check for errors: you made quite a few. You might want to type a little slooowwwwer. Anyways, good job.

  11. Great post, Emily! Yeah, I hope I don't have the unicorn dream ever again. Your post made a lot of sense to me, and your list for what you could do to become a better student helped me out, too. Next time, just click the little spelling button, and all the previous comments about spelling errors could have been avoided. Either way, good job!
