Math Is...

Math is way more important to me now then it was last year because I've learned so much. Like percents, decimals, mean, median, mode, scientific notation, finding variables, graphs, inequalities, solving for x, fractions, probability, and much more. And what's good about all this is that I could apply it to real life situations where I don't have a calculator. An example would be percent increase and decrease. If I need to find out 20% of some clothes or something, I would be able to quickly and mentally figure out how to do it, then solve it. Also, I'm not so good with finding the area, but after all the hard work, I understand it much more now and am prepared for next year.
