What concept do you feel like you mastered this nine weeks? What concept did you struggle with the most? Why? What can you change this nine weeks in your study habits, etc to improve your grade?
HI EVERYONE!!! TAYLOR HERE WITH MY ANSWER TO THIS WEEKS PROMPT!!!
The concept that I feel that I have mastered Law of cosines, Law of sins, finding the area of a right and non-right triangle, and the tan, sin, cos, cot, sec, and csc meanings for different parts of the chapters. I just feel more comfortable working with triangle then circles.
I struggled with the simplifying and solving the tan, sin, cos, cot, sec, and csc in equations. I just couldn’t and still cannot fully understand what is going on with these equations, how to solve them, and what does and does not work. I just cannot seem to grasp the equations or what is going on in them.
I believe that I need to do a few more things so that the next nine weeks will be better. I need to ask more questions in class and work on my speed. I also need to correct my homework on my own and see what I am doing and if I am doing it right. I also need to understand what I am doing or what I am doing wrong.
This is my response to this question until tomorrow Ja Ne!! NOW TIME TO STUDY!!!-RUNS OFF-
This is Nathan with a comment on the Week 7 blog prompt.
I feel that I completely mastered a few things in the first nine weeks. Those things were, converting degrees to radians, and vice versa. SOCAHTOA,which is involved with solving right triangles. I also felt comfortable with solving for the area of right and non-right triangles. Even though, those are more of the simple concepts, at least I mastered a few things.
Now, the thing that I had the most trouble with was the graphing in chapter 8. That stuff just blew my mind, and I think only a few people truly mastered it. The other concept that bothered me, was the one with the equations that involved all six of the trig functions. There are some easy ones, but a lot of them take up half a page.
The things that I can do to improve are; ask more questions, slow down and not rush my homework, and just overall study more and more.
The first nine weeks was a tough one, but I think that I will improve as the year goes on.
Unfortunately the only thing I feel that I've mastered was Chapter 7, like converting radians, solving for theta, and some of the amp and period stuff from Chapter 8.
I am really bad with graphs, and shapes, especially if I have to draw them myself, which I blame Coach Joe for. Chapter 9 started getting into SOHCAHTOA, which is simple for the most part, solving triangles and graphs.
How to improve? Stay awake, take notes, ask questions, do homework, remember to do blogs, and study some more. Hell, I just learned the trig chart like a month ago. Don't judge me.
I'm having trouble in Adv. math, probably because my other math class were extremely simple compared to this. All I did before was remember a formula and hope the best. Evidently, this doesn't work for advanced math.
I personally feel that the only the thing that i mastered was chapter seven.Everything thing else i fell that i struggled horrible especially the identities.I still can not do the identities without getting help from a classmate or someone who has taking the class already. Another thing that I struggle with was graphing the sine and cosine waves.
The best for me to improve would probably be to make time everyday even on the weekend :( to study and go over the formulas in whatever chapter we are in.
The first nine week in the class was extremely difficult because I was always use of my math class being easy. All i had to do was memorize how to do and the problem and remember the formulas but now I actual have to study all the time and actually try to pass the class.
I feel that I have mastered a lot this nine weeks. I feel extremely comfortable with converting from radians to degrees and degrees to radians. I also feel comfortable with SOHCAHTOA and other things involving triangles. I liked to work with law of sines and cosines and I found this to be very easy as well. I pretty much got all of everything we learned this nine weeks.
I struggled a whole bunch with the identities. It was hard for me because there were so many formulas to remember and I could not remember them all. If I knew all of the formulas for it then I probably would have done better. I also struggled with the more complex trigonometry.
To improve, I probably would have to do more studying and memorizing the formulas for everything. It would help also if I worked on more example problems in my free time. It was hard for me at first in this class because I wasn't use to it, but now I'm feeling more comfortable with it. :)
This nine weeks i really understood the SOHCAHTOA stuff. I basically already knew it because i had learned it in Geometry last year with Coach Joe. So when we started to do it, i understood right away... Another thing is the law of sines. At first i thought it was stupid, but once we did a problem i thought it was really easly.
The thing i struggle with the most was the stuff where you changed everything into sine and cosine or tangent. then simplify... Another thing i didn't get right away was the law of cosines. at first i thought it was a huge insanely long formula, but then i actually looked at it and realized how easy it was... The trig. chart was hard for me too, i just never really studied it or anything.
To improve my grade i'm going to do homework every single night, ask questions if i don't get it (even though everybody in the class starts yelling at you just cuz you don't understand), and do the chapter test that are in the book more often.. & i'm going to make sure i never skip a blog
you all know this is lawrence doing his comment on this weeks prompt.
i feel like i mastered all of chapter 7 and some of 8 like the period and the amp. pretty much just the graphing part in chapter 8. i also know chapter 9 pretty well except for the navigation part. i get a little lost and confused on it, but i manage somehow to get the right answers.
i struggled the most with the identities which is chapter 8 section 4. i have no clue what i am doing on some of them. i just dont get why you have to do some of the things that is shown or worked out for us.
i feel like i had good study habits in this class. i am going to make sure though that i know my material and ask more questions on the ones i didnt get right that some of the others didnt ask already in the class. i will strive for an A and not a B because it doesnt push me as much as i want. so this nine weeks i will make an A
This nine weeks I have mastered how to use SOHCAHTOA and find angles and etc. I really never knew what SOHCAHTOA was until this year because last year Coach Joe didn't tell me what it stand for, so therefore I get what it means and how to find angles a lot better. Another thing that I thought was easy was law of sine and law of cosine. You just need to know the formula and when to use it.
The thing I struggle the most was the identities. I never knew what to use or what to do next.
To improve my grades, I would start doing my homework every night, ask questions more in class if I don't get it and start memorizing the formulas. AND I NEED TO REMEMBER TO DO MY BLOGS!!!
This nine weeks the section that I really knew how to do was finding the are of right triangles. That was the most easiest thing that i knew how to do. Some of the things that I struggled with the most was the identities in section 8-4 . It was hard for me because I couldnt understand the formulas and I didnt memorize them, and I didnt know how to finish a problem. Some things that i could do this nine weeks to improve is to do my homework everynight and start asking more qustions and memorize all the formulas.
I have mastered everything.. hhaha no i wish. I felt like I really knew everything and I studied EVERYTHING, but then I get my exam grade back and I got a not so wonderful grade, so I'm back at square one, and I really felt good before the test.
Anyway, from chapter 7, the easy stuff, like degrees to rads and rads to degrees, down patt. The converting to minutes and seconds to degrees and vice versa, easy peasyy. SOHCAHTOA, was easy and using law of sines and law of cosines are both good with me now. oh, and graphing, got that stuff on lock. In the begining, it was hard, but i think i'm falling into a pattern and i'll do better in this class, its deffinetly the hardest class i've ever taken!
What have i struggled with? chapter 8 section 4, which was those identities and stuff, where you gotta change the problem to solve it. It wasn't the process, it was remembering those formulas, and the trig chart, it killed me until i learned it. like i say before, i thought it all made sense, but i don't knoww what i got wrong on the exam, we'll see.
Probably the best thing i could do to improve is do my homeowork, which i already do, most of the time, i need to study those the days before tests and stuff. The material isn't hard, we are just going kinda fast and i have advanced math after lunch so i'm not always paying attention.
The one thing that I really think I have mastered is Law of Cosine and law of sines, i think i got those two down pact. But the only problem is, I'm having trouble of knowing when to use them, there are a lot of other formulas that could probably fit and before you use it you have to make sure that none of those could fit and then if none of those fit then that tells you that it does fit the description. Besides the not knowing when to put it, I have pretty much mastered law of cosines and law of sines.
The biggest thing that i think i struggled with is probably knowing the formulas. Not the trig chart, law of sines, or law of cosines. But like the area of the triangle, area of a four sided figure, the shortcuts to adding up or simplifying function formulas, and kind of the area of a circle or something like that. But besides those formulas, thats about it, I've pretty much mastered everything else.
I can convert degrees to radians, vice versa, ummmm I relearned SOHCAHTOA, law of sines, law of cosines, drawing triangles, those sine/cosine graphs with the shifts and whatnot, what else?... Oh, co terminal angles and all of that basic arithmetic nonsense. That's basically everything I won't forget without practicing it everyday. Some things I have tons of trouble with are those super garbage trig identity equations, which serve no practical, applicable purpose except to help you learn your identities, which are dumb anyway... I learned how to derive the trig chart but I get lost around Secant :/. Converting decimals to minutes and seconds is something I can never remember.
As for study habits, I have actually been doing all of my homework and have been following along in class, but its not nearly enough. I need to do extra work, that's probably the only thing that will save my grade.
