     In math class we are learing about how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide negetives and positives. I have learned some different ways to find the value of x. You find the value of x by doing the inverse opperation. Mrs. Pope has also taught us some different stratigies that can help us in the future. Thank you for all of the help Mrs.Pope!
 
     The reason why a denominator increases, or why it gets bigger is because if you add, multiply, or divide, then those are all reasons why they increase. I think it just depends what you do to the fraction. In the case of a decimal the decimal gets smaller because it's half of the fraction, so of course the decimal is going to get smaller.
 
     The reason why there are infinitive numbers by zero is because the amount of fractions, and decimals it takes to make a whole. You might not get it at first, but I will guide you and try to explain so that you can understand. For example 0.34 is not a whole so that means it would go next to the zero because it's not a whole. 
     In fractions, it's not a difference, it's the same. So for example 1/4 is not a whole, so it would go next to zero because it's not a whole. I hope I have helped if I have not I'm sorry!

 
       In math we have been studying about how to solve an equation without having to use divison. For example: 2x=16, how will you solve that equation, without having to divid both sides by two. Today, I will show you how to do this for those of you that don't know.
     The first step is to always try to find out what number would be multiplied in order to get 16. That's one way you can do it without using divison.

 
     When I have math problems, what I usally do, are tw things. Today I will show you those three tips I use when I'm stuck. If you ever need help on a math problem, and it's about 4:00 pm, and you're at home you have come to the right place.
       The first tip when your stuck, is to call your friend. Tell her that you didn't understand, if she could help you. If your friend is not here, or not answering, just ask your teacher for help the next day.
