Dear Mom,

I am going to tell you what I learned in7th grade math class. I feel like I understand it better then last years class. The bar graph assignment was something I enjoyed. We had to find a bar graph in the newspaper and then you had to answer questions about the graph. I picked out a graph that was easy to read and the questions were easy for me to answer. The other thing I like doing are frequency tables, because it is fun for me and I am good at that. A frequency table is when you count up the number of times something happens and then you make a chart. For example, you could pick different colors of marbles out of a bag. Next,you would record them on a table and then you can see how many times you pulled certain colors out of the bag. The other thing I like is term and term#.I like it because it is easy for me this year, and I am getting better at it .I really like exponents too, because there are fun and easy for me. An exponent is the little number that tells you how many times to multiply a number by itself. I dislike the algebra part because the numbers confuse me. I will do the problem sometimes and then I get it wrong. It does not happen all the time but I need help sometimes to finish these problems. I hope you like the letter I wrote to you. I hope you have an idea of what I am doing in math this year!      Love, lske
