That I learned how to equal out equations. How to put it up onto a graph. And how to “Re check”. That it’s not always numbers that don’t equal out the same. That you can re check to make sure that your answer is right. That how do I make sure that i do t right?

Since exams I learn how to do systems of equations in different ways. One way to solve them is elimination. The other way is substitution. I’m still confused on how to do the word problems.

Three things I have learned to do since the exam is the ways to solving systems of equations. You can solve system of equation problems by graphing, elimination, or substitution. I learned that graphing is usually the shortest and easiest of the three. One thing I still don’t understand is almost everything about the word problems.

I’ve have learned how to do substitution, elimination and word problems easier. I find it interesting that you can solve multiple ways and I like doing substitution because it is easier. How can we make any of these easier?

I have relearned how to subtract equations. I have also relearned how to plug in an equation. I have learned how to use a graph to find missing points. I found subtracting equations interesting. I have also found graphing equations interesting. One thing that I would like help with is the distance equations.

I learned how to eliminate and substitute. I learned how to get the x and y together. I learned how to convert one of the veritables coefichent to match. I thought it was interesting they called it a coefficient. I thought it was interesting that people figured this out. One question I have is why do I need to know the price of bergers and fries when I can look at the menu?

I learned that I don’t have a favorite out of elimination substitution or graphing. I also learned when to use different ways of solving an equation. You eliminate when both variables are on the same side of the 2 equations. I found interesting that I am very good at doing equations. I also found interesting that you don’t always have to work harder you just need to work smarter! One question I still have is the river and the speed word equations

Since the exam, I have learned how to do substitution, elimination and word problems. I find the way you can use elmination in word problems interesting and how there are multiple ways to solve the equations interesting. Sometimes I have a hard time setting up elimination problems.

I have learned system of equations using graphs, story problems and substitution. U want to use common sense with some things. U need to get problems in y =mx+b in graphing. I still don't really understand how to use elimination.

One thing that I learned since the exam is when it's best to use substitution, and when it's best to plot points. When both equation are in slop intercept form it's best to plot. When both equation are in standard form it's best to use substitution. One thing I found interesting is having to plug in the numbers to solve and check. I also found that putting equation equal to each other is a way to solve for a system of equation pretty interesting. One question I have is when is it best to set equations equal to each other?

stuff that i found interesting was when you are substituting equations you need to make sure you cancel out one variable. Another thing I found interesting is that the word problems are actually pretty easy.
A question I have is that when you do the word problems should it be in a like (x,y)? or like it wrote out? Also will we need to know how to do the graphing for the test?

One thing I've learned since the exams is substitution, more substitution. Substitution is very simple and easy to find the answer. Another thing I've learned is graphing; I'm not that great at graphing but the lesson you taught made it seem so easy and kinda fun. the third and final thing I have learned was elimination, elimination reminds me of substitution because of how simple it is and how easy it is to get the answer. The two things I found interesting in my 5th hour algebra class would be how simple yet so explained so that you can understand the problem. Another thing i found interesting is the strange arguments you have with your students. A question I have for you is what made you so fascinated in a high school math class? I am only wondering because I am looking at being a teacher when I am older and I'm really only good at math.

I've learned how to solve systems of equations by substitution and elimination and word problems. I found interesting on how to solve them using both methods learned. I still need help with word problems setting them up it confuses me.

Mainland C

One thing I have learned since the exam is to do more math that I did not know before. The word problems we are working on our getting easier for me which is nice. I am still having trouble with the substitutions but I am getting more more comfortable with it so I’m learning The substitution and the other one. I found the math we are doing now is a lot easier I think except for substitution then what we were doing. Also the word problems aren’t as hard as they were. I still have questions about substitutions but there’s lotta questions I have to ask because this is really easy.

One thing I have learned since the exam is to solve systems of equations. Another thing I learned was to solve system of equations word problems with substitution or cancel I gave variable. What do you do if you are given a word problem and told to graph it but you do not know what variable is on what axis.

Ross D

Three things I have learned since the exam would be solving equations with substitution and elimination. Another thing iv’e learned is how to write and improve my paragraph better. Lastly, I have learned how to study better as a student. Two things I have found interesting would be learning how to take short cuts for problems. The last found interesting is the visuals Mr. Harris gives us, because it helps. One question I still have is, Are we going to do Khan Academy again?

Grangood, M

1/29/2018 03:02:59 pm

Since exams I have learned more about subsitution and systems of equation. (that’s what they’re called right? Lol) I have learned there are multiple ways to do some things and I also found that interesting. I like it better knowing multiple methods bc it feels almost safer. A question I have is how to flip those equations so they still line up (ex. 19,21,23 Friday homework) I feel I am making it harder than it has to be, but I still would like practice.

Wagar B

I have learned how to do substitution, word problems and elimination. I like how you can solve different problems in different ways. Is there any way to solve the problems faster?

Owens M

1/29/2018 03:52:18 pm

one thing i’ve learned since the exam is that it’s pretty easy to set up word problems if you read closer. another thing is that graphing equations is easy when it’s in y=mx+b. the last thing that i thought was easy was elimination. something i thought was interesting was that if you get the wrong answer, you can check to see if it’s wrong. another thing i found interesting is that it’s almost always easier to solve problems in y=mx+b form. i still have a little trouble with the word problems on distance.

Szalkowski, E

1/29/2018 04:51:19 pm

Since the exam, I learned how to study more effectively . I also learned how to solve equations in 3 ways. We learned to solve equations by graphing, substitution, and elimination. One thing that I found interesting is that you can check you answer to see if it is correct by worrying backwards. Another thing I that I found interesting is that when graphing to solve equations, the point where the 2 lines intersect is the answer. A question I still have is that I tend to not know how to set up some word problems.

Nguyen A

1/29/2018 04:56:38 pm

Things I learned after exams is how to solve substitution and how to get one variable by itself in substitution. And Elimination and how to cancel out a variable, I’m pretty sure I got those down. Two things I found interesting is using word problems for elimination, they are pretty simple to do if you read. Question I have is how to make equations equal ( x + 3y = 24 and 24 + 3y = x) and turning them into the same placement. That’s confusing to explain, but how to solve questions like 21 on elimination on the homework the other night.

Cantrell A

1/29/2018 05:12:37 pm

What I've learned from the exam is how to solve substitution problems. I also learned how to do elimination problems, as well as word problems. I found that the different ways to solve equations and that the intersection of two lines is really easy to find. The only concern I have is that sometimes when I try to make two variables in an elimination problem the same, the answer doesnt always add up.

Foucault, J

1/29/2018 05:42:08 pm

I learned how to solve subsitution problems. I learned how to do elimination proccess. I also learned how to graph subsitution problems. One thing I found interesting was that you can cancle out either x or y. Also that you can check all of your answers. I'm still confused on how to find the second varible like do you plug the fist varible into the original equations or the modified ones. Also I'm still confused on word problems that have you wright out the equations. Also distience and hour word problems.

Kruskie, Nolan

1/29/2018 06:49:30 pm

i re learned how to graph on a coordinate plane. I re learned how to use substitution. i learned that i am just a dumb ditch digger. i don't have any questions about eliminations. i have no questions about equations.

Petersen, A

1/29/2018 06:55:17 pm

One thing that I've learned since exams is that substitution problems are extremely easy. I have also learned that we can graph equations on graphs too. I really like to do the words problems because they make you think really hard and I like the challenge. I haven't really had problems with anything yet other than actually graphing the equations because they never turn out right.

Weld J

1/29/2018 07:13:15 pm

Three things that I have learned since the exam is the process of substitution, the process of elimination, and those things in word problems, which is pretty easy as long as you know how to do it. Two things that I found interesting is how easy it is to graph substitution problems on a coordinate plain and how easy it is to check both the substitution problems and the elimination problems. I don't really have any questions about this stuff so, in my opinion, that is a good sign that I know this stuff.

Jackson, L

1/29/2018 07:43:17 pm

Since the exam I have learned how to take my time on certain algebra equations like substituting variables. Which is another thing that I’ve learned. And one more thing that I have learned since the exam is how to graph substitution equations. But the things I found interesting were that I noticed how algebra equations are all based off of patterns that you just have to memorize. Another interesting thing is that I can learn from my classmates. But my questions are how do you know when to multiply by -1?And also how do you switch around y=mx+b when the equation looks like for example x+y=#?

Sneddon C

1/29/2018 08:21:20 pm

Since the exam, I have learned many new things in Algebra. I have learned how to solve systems of equations with three methods, substitution, elimination, and graphing methods. Two things I found interesting were that in most math situations, you can actually check your work, and it is really simple too. One question I still have is writing my equations from story problems, especially problems with regards to distance. Cool beans

Since the exam I learned how to do substation. It was confusing for me at first but I am getting the hang of it now. Since the exam I also learned how to use elimination. 2 things that i found most interesting were that in math there’s a lot of times a way to check your work. I also found elimination very interesting because I never knew you could do that. One question i still have is for substitution problems. I’m not quite sure when you set the 2 equations equal to each other and solve like that or when you just plug it in.

Allen M

1/30/2018 04:01:07 am

I thing I have learned is how to use elimination to solve problems. I also discovered more about substitution as we went in depth with it. Another thing I learned was how to solve elimination word problems. One thing I found interesting is how satisfying it is to cancel out variables and add the numbers. Another thing I found interesting is how I have never seen elimination before. I am still a little uncertain about how to do word problems like the canoe one.

I have learned how to use elimination and substitution on equations. Two things I found interesting is that I can graph equations using the substitution method, and it’s easy to check. Can we work on more word problems in class?

Ladd,A

1/30/2018 09:41:52 am

Three things I learned since the exam are substitution,elimination, and systems of equations word problem solving. I found it interesting that even if you use the wrong sign you still have a chance at getting it right and. I also think it’s interesting how easy substitution really is. I don’t really have any questions in this stuff.

Jorgensen L

1/30/2018 09:42:46 am

I learned about how to do substitution, elimination, and systems of equations. I found the explanation Mr Harris used to explain why the variables are multiplied by the same number and I also thought it was interesting that you can solve these equations if the variable wasnt constant by using calculus. A question I still have is the system of equations thing with finding speed of something and wind/water/current speed is still hard for me to set up. Once I have set it up it is fine from there the solving part is easy but the actual setup is still a little do confusing.

Schwartzfisher, A

1/30/2018 09:43:12 am

I learned how to do substitution and elimination. What I have found interesting is how easy it is to check your solution and how easy it is to cancel x or y out. I still not so great at solving equations like 12 and 9 on the most recent worksheet.

Raymond M

1/30/2018 09:43:26 am

Three thumbs bye that I have learned since the exam are that exams are easier than I thought. Two I relearned how to do substitution. Finally I l.earned how to do elimination. First is thing that I found was interesting was how easy the exams are. Second is that the concepts of elimination focused me at first and that doesn’t happen much with math. Is there a quicker way to do elimination?

Hill C

1/30/2018 09:43:49 am

I have learned how to use elimination and substitution on equations. Two things I have found interesting is that in math there are a lot of different ways to check your answers and how helpful classmates can be. I find word problems to be confusing sometimes.

Haley A

I have learned elimination and substitution on equations. Two things I found interesting are that we can pick either of the original equations to plug the anwser into. Can we work on more word problems in class

Nellett jenny

1/30/2018 09:46:08 am

Today I learned how to use elimination and substitution to solve equations.Two things I found interesting is that for most problems you can check your work. Another thing I found interesting is that I have never used elimanation so that was different.one thing I’m still in Curtain about is the word problems

Bacigalupí G

1/30/2018 09:46:14 am

I have learned how to do elimination and maybe substitution. Word problems are kinda difficult. If you could go over that a couple times that’d help quite a bit. Examples might also assist in my understanding. Thanks!

Conti, S

1/30/2018 09:46:29 am

One thing I have learned since the exam is the process of eliminating with equations. I also learned how to properly set up word problem equations. The last thing I learned was when to use elimination to solve, or substitution, Or graphing. One thing I have found interesting was how simple elimination was to solve. Another thing was how many different ways you can find the solution of two equations. I don't really have a specific question but more word problem reviews would always be helpful.

Friedenstab J

1/30/2018 09:46:57 am

I learned how to do substitution an elimination. One thing I found interesting was that you can use substitution and elimination for different things. I also thought it was interesting that the numbers in front of the variable have to be positive and negative in order to cancel out (elimination). One question I still have is when to know to use an ordered pair in my answer.

Tucker

1/30/2018 09:47:12 am

I have learned how to do elimination, how to solve by graphing, and how to do substitution. I found it interesting how easy it is to check my answers and how easy it is to graph equations like this. A question I still have is when do you know to make things negative or positive.

Hartley C

1/30/2018 09:47:57 am

Since the exam I have learned how to do substitution. I also learned how to use elimination. I struggled with elimination at first but I understand now. Something I found interesting is that there are different ways to solve certain problems. And that checking your work is really simple. I still don't understand how to set up word problems.

Holford V

1/30/2018 09:48:00 am

I learned how to use substitution and the process of elimination. It wasnt too hard to learn but i did have a hard time on story problems. I never would of guessed how to do the word problem things. It was a little bit different compared to what we usually do. It would help if we worked on word problems a little more in class. Besides working on story problems more i dont really have any more questions.

Hutchinson E

1/30/2018 09:48:28 am

Since the exam i learned how to solve elimination problems. I also learned how to solve distance problems with elimination. Two things I think interesting is that elimination problems as well as substitution problems are easy to check. They are also easy to graph. Can you go over word problems still?

Dakota Westbrook

1/30/2018 09:49:57 am

Things I learned from the exam are that I get mixed up with numbers and signs a lot. I might have minor dyslexia or something of the sort.I really have no idea but, things I found interesting are as follows... there are so many different ways to do a problem and get the same answer each time. There’s a lot of things to still learn about mathematics and so many of the different types interest me like finding areas of different shapes. A question I still have is are there any easier ways to do these types of equation?

LaDrigue B

1/30/2018 10:01:20 am

Since the exam I learned how to solve problems not using substitution. I learned what system of equations is and how to solve harder word problems. I didn’t really find any of it interesting but it was kind of neat to solve different types of word problems than before. The challenge is what I guess you could call interesting. The only question that I had was what is an easy way to set up the problems.

Iverson M.

1/30/2018 10:41:54 am

I have learned how to solve problems using substitution and elimination. I have also found out how to set these up in a word problem. Also I have learned how to get variables to cancel in a substitution/elimination problems. One thing I found interesting is how many different things you can use substitution for. One of those things is finding the speed of a current. One thing I struggle with is setting up the problems in some word problems.

Cruse Olivia

1/30/2018 10:42:15 am

Some things I have learned from exams isn’t much. I've learned a little on how to do elimination problems. but idk how to set up them quit yet or how to get it in A-B=C when it’s all mixed. What I have found interesting is how nice it is of you to make us do this hard work. But I do appreciate that you moved the test to Friday. I have a lot of questions because i don’t understand this stream problems like how to you know it’s - or +?

Ormsbee A

1/30/2018 10:43:31 am

Three things I have learned since the exams are how to solve word problems, how to check your work, and how to draw pictures for word problems. Two things I have found intresting are the speed word problems and the price word problems. One question I still have is the speed word problems.

Woods b

1/30/2018 12:25:13 pm

A couple things a learned is that its usually a lot easier if you multiply in stead of substitute. Another is that if you approach these like pizzles they can be pretty fun some problems like distance and rate still bug me.

Bryce B

1/31/2018 01:06:56 pm

I like Elimination and it is pretty easy but I have a few questions on it

3 Things I learned today was the expectations in every class room, expectations of students and teachers, and how to be successful by doing what i need to.2 things that we’re interesting is that donnavin can see and that all my teachers are in the same hallway. i want to know more about all the subjects im in

Will, F
