AEROBICS FOR THE BRAIN

What do you think about math? Is it hard? Easy? Fun? What do you like best about math? What do you like least? Is there something in math ( fractions, decimals, etc…) you just don’t get? Or is there something you REALLY like?? Coordinates? Logic? Buzz? Too High/Too Low? Blackout? Poison Chips? Let me know…

    No one could teach math better than Mrs. Hawkins! She’s lots of fun and really crazy but serious when she needs to be! The coordinates we do in class are the best! It’s so much fun to try to figure out what the picture is. Mrs. Hawkins you’re the best!!

    I never could have imagined how much math is in the real world. Does anyone besides ME notice that? Have you ever looked at a car tire and tried to guess how many times a pebble caught in the tread will hit the ground before you get to school? THAT’S MATH!!
    Thank you for letting me blog with you.

    Dear Stormi,
    I am NOT 64! After thinking long and hard, looking in the mirror, and calling my twin brother, I go with 83 for now! Let’s see…1923 plus eighty-four equals ??? minus one, because I haven’t had a birthday this year equals ?
    So after working this math problem, Mrs. Hawkins is _____ years old! Problem Solved!

      tyc says:

    I thank math is so fun, but some times I get in trouble in class, sometimes, but thats ok

    I’m glad you like Math. It’s okay to get in trouble as long as you don’t get in trouble all the time. So when you get in trouble, remember what you did wrong and don’t do that again. Instead get your work done while teachers are there to help you. Thanks for trying so hard Ty! Mrs. H

      sarah says:

    Dear Mrs. Hawkins you are so not 83 because your almost the same age as my grandmother and she’s 60!!!!!!
    I think your about 50 not 83! That’s not possible!

    Dear Sarah! I’m sorry that you don’t think I am 83. I will soon be 84! I think I look really great for almost 84! I don’t think I look so great for 60…so therefore, I’ll stick to 83…almost 84!! Thanks for blogging! Mrs. H

    Mrs.Hawkins I wish you would let us be the teacher for one day

    Well, Adrian..I’m going to let you make either a poster, a power point, or a little movie about Math. You may pick whatever you want to teach to the class and present it! Sounds like a fun time to me! Mrs. H

      damonw says:

    Math class is cool, but the coordinates are not. I would like to have more multiplication and division because their challenging.

    Hey Damon…You are in luck. Not only will we keep having coordinates, but you are going to get multiplication and division..and more!!
    Oh happy day!! Mrs. H

      Stevi P. says:

    I am not very fond of math. I would much rather be writing a story, or reading a book. The thing that I like least would have to be coordinates.I enjoyed them at first, but they are kind of boring and too time consuming. I love poison chips and I wish we would play it more.

    Hey Stevi! So sorry you are not fond of math. I, too, would rather read a book, but I like to be well rounded, so therefore I want a little of all of it. Math will come in handy when you start living life as a grown up. As in cooking, banking, budgeting, and keeping up with life. I don’t think coordinates are boring, I think they can show how creative you can be and still be getting ready for the TAKS! We will play poison chips real soon! Mrs. H

    I like math, but I am having really bad problems with math. I’m so far behind, it’s so stressful.

    Well Mr. J. I am so proud of you since you wrote this blog several weeks ago. You have really been working and turning in papers and getting your act together. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! You have made my life better, because I am not worrying about you as much. You have taken control of yourself and you are doing it all by yourself. Life seems much better for you and you are no longer behind and you are not so stressed out! Way to go, Mr. J…I am even more proud of you now then when I started writing this!!!! Keep up the good work!! Mrs. H
