I know many of you spend a great deal of your free time on the internet. We'll be using this blog as a way to improve on your ability to write about math. We know how important communication is and it is no different in math.
Math is its own language. Some people prefer to read math in terms of numbers and symbols, but it is also really important for you to be able to write about your thinking that you've used to solve a problem and to be able to make math connections to other parts of your life.
So let's start here.
You'll be writing an entry that will be "This is My Life (in Math Class!)"
You will have until September 30th to complete this assignment.
Requirements/Criteria
1st paragraph - Introduce yourself with a creative and interesting sentence that catches my attention. Continue on with a brief explanation about your attitudes towards math.
2nd paragraph - Write in detail about your best and worst moments in Math class. What made them the best and worst moments?
3rd paragraph - Share with me at least two strategies you use in math that help you to solve problems and/or to keep your head up when the going gets tough in math.
4th paragraph - Share what you are looking forward to and what you are most worried about in 7th grade math.
We will talk about how you are going to post your assignment to this blog during the first few weeks of school, but I wanted you to start thinking about your "This is My Life (in Math Class)" now if you happen to see this blog!

what i did was i wrote out 1to150 and then i circled the ending of 6 in blue pen and then i circled the multiples of 6 in pencil and then for my last i just counted the numbers in blue pen&pencil and i added up those numbers which was 15&19 and for my answer i got 34.

I did problem #2.I used the guess and check method. plus I used the use or make a table. their is another way to do the problem to you could of used a brainstorm,or a vendiaragram.
Emily C. - East Math - December 6, 2011...Problem #1:
I wrote all the mutliples of 6 - 150 (6, 12, 18, 24, 30, - 150). Then I listed all the numbers that ended in 6 from the list I made and then counted all the numbers that were not multiples of 6 which were #16, 26, 46, 56, 76, 86, 106, 116, 136, 146 (none of these are multiples of 6) so that gives me the answer of 10! I can't think of another way to do the problem and I would do it up to 200, but after that, it would get confusing. So, the answer, I think, is 10 claps to problem #1.
