Trisha's Math Profile

Hello, My name is Trisha Tiopo and I'm a math student in grade 8. If someone asked me if I like math I would say I do but it's not my favourite subject, sometimes I find it boring but I enjoy learning about ratios and word problems. The best thing we did in math class that I like was word problems because I enjoy using different strategies to get the same answer, I also like talking to other people about the problems to see if we got the same answer.

Last year in grade 7, I like the unit about B.E.D.M.A.S. I thought it was easy and I like the math equation with the brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction. I guess I did well in that unit but I could have done better in my test and quizzes. The unit that made me struggle was finding the area of things because it was confusing with the diameter and circumference and stuff. I think I should read over my notes or
ask help from someone who knows the subject well, so I won't struggle that much.

This year to be a successful student in math, I need to focus and study harder then last year and not to procrastinate when it comes to homework. This year in math I would like to learn more about the area of thing so I could understand it more so I won't struggle when the teacher ask me or it shows up on a test.

My one and only blog I did last year was... click here to see my epic blog (:

Blogging helped me become a better student because It helped me with my homework and it helped me understand what today's lessons was about because I'm too shy to ask questions. This year in math I want to play some math games on the computer because playing games is fun and I can learn better so I won't struggle as much as last year.

  1. Trisha, I liked the way you made some of the important words stand out! It was a cleaver idea! But before you publish a post remember to edit it first.

  2. Great post Trisha. I could relate with some of the things you said, like procrastinating with your homework, I hate to admit to this, but last year I caught myself procrastinating with math a few times, I guess we all do it sometimes, especially with math. I understand how you are shy to ask questions, the blog helped me with that too. Some advice I have for you is to not be afraid about asking questions, although, I have to agree, at times it's tough, but you will learn better if you do. I think you might want to edit your post next time because I saw a few errors, and it looked like you had trouble spacing out your paragraphs. Other then that, you did a great job, keep up the good work!
    PS: I love that you used the word "epic" to describe your blog, I just love that word:)

  3. Interesting post Trisha, I noticed you liked solving algebra equation. You also included B.E.D.M.A.S and how to use it to solve algebraic equations. I also looked at your "epic" blog last year and i would suggest you try to put too much space on your next blog.

  8. Great post, Trisha! I liked how you used only one color to highlight the important words so it'll stand out. I agree with having to struggle about the circumference unit last year, it confused me, too. Next time, read over your work before you post it up. Other than that, good job!

  15. Epic, interesting choice of words, Trisha. You're post was fairly good, and I found the colours a nice touch. Definately made your work stand out. I suggest you study more often to improve your test marks and to also expand on your vocabulary. I found you used the word "stuff" to describe thing too often.
