This week we did all 7.3 stuff and I don't really understand what I am doing but o end IP going the problem and I do it correctly, and then there will be a different problem that has to be set up differently and I get that one wrong. I never know when I have to minus one thing from another because you don't have to do it every time. So I can only do some of the problems, unless I have the answer key then I can usually figure it out. This weeks Tedtalk we missed the last 30 seconds of because the bell ran, but I didn't like the presentation because he says that everyone is a maker but doesn't say why, he just produces many examples of people who are makers.

This week we learned about functions that will turn into 3D shapes and we found their volumes using the washer theory and the shell theory. I feel like this was hard for people to understand right away but after a while they seemed to get it. This weeks ted talk was cool but I kind of lost the message, like when I was watching I was just looking at the cool things he could do with those phones not what he was saying. The only thing I can remember from it was the butterfly he made fly.

This week we learned about velocity problems that I was gone for and we also learned about finding area between two curves. We were in the computer lab for most of the time and I didn't like that because it was harder to learn and pay attention. I was gone on Tuesday so I missed the Ted Talk. I forgot to look at the note slides before I took the test, so you know I don't think I did very well.

This week we didn't do much, we only had three days of school this week. The first two days we reviewed our chapter for the test on Thursday. The review went well and the one on Wednesday was hard but got me ready for the test. Or so I thought when I first got the test I got really mad when I saw that the test spirals. Also when I got to the end I saw that there weren't any definite integrals, I thought I was pretty good at that. Even though I got thrown a curve ball on the test(kind of) I think I still did alright, but it was only out of seventeen so I could get like four wrong and only get a C. This week we didn't learn anything new or even watch a Ted Talk because there was no school on Tuesday.

This week we did slope fields I found that it would be hard without my calculator because I have no sense of what the graph would look like our where it would be. When I do a slope field I can see what the graph will look like but I can't tell which one out of the "family" the graph will be. I missed the day on separable differential equations and I feel like that was not a good day to miss and I have yet to understand it. Also I can't remember what the Tedtalk we watched was and I have been trying to remember for about half an hour, but I guess that sums up the week and I feel so sore lying in bed because we had four hockey games this week which is pretty ridiculous.

Thus week we learned the trapezoidal rule and also reviewed for the test on Monday. I didn't do many of the assignments but I did the trapezoidal one and I got mad at myself because it is all stuff that I could do pretty easily. I should have done the other assignments and I'm guessing that I won't do so well on this test because of that, but at least I started somewhere and did an assignment. I am kind if mad that I was gone on Friday I feel that that day would have really helped but I was at a funeral so there is not much I could've done.

This week in math we learned the mean value theorem, the average mean value theorem, and the fundamental theorem of calculus. I got a lot of these topics down and I think I might have done well if we had a regular quiz, but when I did the AP quiz it was harder and I only got a D but I found out that was kind of good compared to the other kids in the class. So I think that I am fine.

Last week on our two day week we did this fun exercise where we had to find the area of a irregular shape. This activity was very fun even though when I looked at it I got very scared. This week we used that premise to find the area under lines and all of it seemed easy until I tried to do the homework. Sometimes when you do the math on the board it seems easy and I can do most of the examples but when I go in the book it gets harder and sometimes I give up even though I figure out later that I was only doing something small wrong and I feel a little dumb. I didn't really like the Ted Talk this week even though it is very cool when kids do great things but I usually like watching adults speeches better and I feel like I learn more than just remembering things that I "forgot".

So far I have been not doing the best in this class, I failed the last three quizzes and got a D+ on the test, which isn't that bad when you see that I did poorly in that chapter. I didn't do the best in the chapter but if I can do the mastery it might make up for a lot of points I have missed. I haven't been doing the best in all of my classes recently I think that I'm going to have to work really hard these last few days to make up for a lot of slacking during the marking period.
