dear (poor young)algebra student,
ReplyDeletealways remember too...
-do you homework
-make revisions on your homework
-DON'T zone out during class
-study for tests
-sit with people you aren't really good friends with so you don't get distracted during class
-love charles and mr. wiggles
-make sure you take good notes
-neat homework is an advantage when you study for tests
-ALWAYS ALWAYS complain about how hard a test is. :)
-do extra credit
-STUDY FOR THE RATIONALS/ RADIALS TEST!!!!
-enjoy yourself
-laugh at mr. chamberlain's jokes.
-learn!
Dear algebra student,
ReplyDeletethis upcoming year in algebra will be a year of learning in your pathetic little world. at some points, you may feel like throwing some of your classmates out the window (im not saying any names). Also, is important that you ask mr. c to give you a half-time break while counting ther number of red cars there are in the parking lot. most importantly, remember to always praise the math gods (even though they are made out of paper).
BELIEVE
enjoy!!! :-)
Dear Algebra student,
ReplyDelete-Do your homework, even though Mr.Chamberlain doesn't check it, because THE MATH GODS ARE ALWAYS WATCHING!
-Take good care of Charles ashes
-Pay attention in class
-If you get a bad grade on a test, don't give up! Study harder for the next one, and you can probably balance out the bad grade
-Do NOT yell out the windows at pedestrians during half time
-Take lots of notes
-Remember that if you do anything wrong, the math gods will descend from the sky and STRIKE YOU DOWN!
-If I survived it, so can you!(probably)
Have Fun!
Dear Poor Unfortunate Soul,
ReplyDelete-Take diligent notes
-Study
-Count the red cars
-Dont be afraid to call half time
-listen during a lesson
-If Mr. C puts it on the board write it in your notes
-Take extra credit opportunities
-if he says something is optional do it anyway
-BE MISERABLE
excellent advice so far... why would you have to TELL someone to laugh at my jokes?... they're so funny they'll laugh anyway, right??
ReplyDeleteDear Algebra Student,
ReplyDeleteHere's some adivice for the next miserable(Just kidding...or am I?) year.
-Beware the Math Gods...they are always watching.
-Do not break Mr. Wiggles...or he'll end up in a coffee cup like Charles.
-Pay attention in class, especially before a test.
-Don't forget to ask for half time!!! (During half time, I recommend bird watching and making jokes about throwing students out of windows.However, do not yell at pedestrians from the window.)
-Write good song parodies.
So HOPEFULLY you'll have a wonderfully miserable year in algebra!!!
THE END.
Isn't anyone going to talk about some of the memorable lessons or incredible mathematical learnings that occurred during the year? ... uhhh, anyone there? ...Hello!!... ANYONE??!!
ReplyDeleteNo song parodies yet... I'm disappointed... how about "Charles the Math God" to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman?"
ReplyDeleteDear next years victims... i mean smarty pantses,
ReplyDeleteIf You Get/Have
-nausea from homework
-motion sickness
-headaches from hard work
-note-taking problems
-distracted
then the algebra rollercoaster is not for you.
Always
-know that traveling backwards through time is impossible
-honor charles and mr wiggles, this protector
-complain about tests
-be ready to take long notes
-be ready to have hours of homework(sometimes really)
-have fun
if math is not fun for you, then do nott take the algebra rollercoaster, u will be miserable. Do not join to feel smart because other people will want your spot.
Mr Chamberlain is aka missa c!
Try to do the extra credit.
Ummmmmm yea.
It is fun but hard.
I'm done i think
... and what about the warm & caring classroom atmosphere, and the building of self-esteem (umm well, except for Jamie, and uh Charmi, and Nora, Emily, Nick, Kate, Megan's father...hmmm) well self-esteem aside, y'all learned a lot, right?
ReplyDeleteAlright incoming torture specimen, I have some advice for you.
ReplyDeleteNever
don't do your HW
give up
think that you won't get something wrong on a test
use shortcuts(until you understand it)
sell your soul to the YOUCANJUST monster
Always
Review problem sets
learn why it works
study for tests
do your homework, especially the problems you don't really get
cheat when graphing
come prepared
honor Charles...
be able to take a joke(this is one of the few ones that will actually help)
be miserable!!!
Be ready to take lots of notes on everything
MAKE SURE TO GET THE FUNCTION MACHINE THING UP ON THE SMARTBOARD!!!
But seriously, if you are not motivated to succeed in math, then you won't. Like math or get out.
Feel free to make intelligent(?) theories about throwing stuff up to go back in time.
Nick - excellent placement of the question mark...
ReplyDelete... what, no mention of how to deal with schmeggegies?! blobs?!?! from anyone?!
How to Survive:
ReplyDelete-Do as many homework problems on a page as possible :)
-Utilize the blog
-Take notes as much as possible
-Check out the video guide lessons on mathchamber, they really helped
-Bring a wealth of pencils to class
-Give salutations to the Math Gods and be ready to offer sacrifices...well...
Good luck, you'll need at least some!
Here is my song parody:
ReplyDeleteIt's Charles the Math God instead of Frosty the Snowman:
Charles the Math God was a mighty, powerful soul
With a valiant beak and a dashing coat
And powers left unknown
Charles the Math God, was a fairy tale they say
He was made of glue
But the children know, how he came to life one day
There must have been some arithmetic in that old silk hat they found
For when they spoke of rationales, he began to flap around!
O, Charles the Math God was alive as he could be
And the students say he could add and divide just the same as you and me
Flappity, flap, flap
Flappity, flap, flap
Look at Charles go!
Flappity, flap, flap
Flappity, flap, flap
Around the class he goes!
Charles the Math God, knew the breeze was strong that year
So he said “Let’s write and test and fight, now before I fall away.”
Down through the classroom
With a pencil in his wing
Flying here and there all around the square saying “Factor me if you can.”
He led them through the math problems right to the unit twelve.
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop!
For Charles the Math God, had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye and said “Don’t cry, I’ll be back again someday.”
Flappity, flap, flap
Flappity, flap, flap
Look at Charles go!
Flappity, flap, flap
Flappity, flap, flap
Around the class he goes!
