Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

   When I took my 1st geometry class, I thought it was going to be hard and complex. It's actually pretty easy. I thought of many equations with many variables and new things. Geometry is almost what I learned in pre-algebra last year. Anything new is really easy to understand. For example, we learned about sine, cosine, tangent. I never understood what it meant or what it is. It has to do with the sides of the triangle lengths. Things may look hard in geometry, but it's really easy once you understand.

   We don't use technology in our class very often. We only use laptops to use it for the PARCC practice tests and use an app called GeoGebra for finding angle measures and things about triangles and other polygons. We learn a lot more since we have a small class and we don't have distractions in our class. And we don't have any projects, but we do Think Through Math and Khan Academy for homework.

 Geometry is not hard if you don't make it complicated. It's not like algebra with different equations to solve one problem with variables. Geometry has some equations to help, but it's not that hard to use with shapes and/or coordinates. For example, finding the length of a line with a formula. It may look long, but it's easy.
