Explain ways you have used math recently in your life....math class doesn't count :)

I normally use math in my life, even when I'm outside math class. For example, I am currently working for a show of my aunts, and get paid by weekend, so I now have to keep track of the money I win or that I spend, just to make sure that is always complete. Another example is when I have chemestry and I have to figure out how many protons are in an atom or things like that. Or in the same case of chemestry, when we do labs and we have to measure the quantities of water in the test tubes and beakers, and you have to make sure you have the right quantities so the lab actually works. Another moment when I use math, is when I'm trying to figure out what time is in Spain so I can talk to my best friend that's living there, its not much but you have to add 6 hours to your current time, so its a little bit of math still. We use math everyday even when we dont really notice it, like when you are counting the days left for something, or counting the days back to figure out what time it is, you do math almost every second of your day, because you are thinking of the time, days, number of people, and things like that.

My perfect math class would be.....

My perfect math class would be a day, when during the class we learn a lesson that is fun. It would also be the perfect class if we did more activities, like of interacting with classmates, like a little bit of free time I guess.

For me Geometry class, makes itself long, and sometimes boring, because even though when we do problems and things as a group we talk, sometimes I think that we get stuck at some point, and we cant think anymore, so having a couple of free timed minutes, would make class better. Another thing that would make math class better, is that if we had more space to work, because like we have a new student the space is more limited, this is not an issue, because I can actually work with enough space, but probably the person next to me has little space or something, and itas uncomfortable.

I think that math class overall is better than last year, because the "schedule" in class is more relaxed than last year, but we still could improve a couple of things, like the time, and space in class.

Pretend you are a shape. Which shape would you be and why?

I think that if I could be a shape, I probably would be an oval, because it has a rounded shape, but is not completely round like a circle. I think I would like to be an oval, because it would be easier to go around, this is, because when you are rolling around, you can stop, because its easier to stop because its not completely round, so you have a little bit of support for stopping. I think that being a shape may be hard, because all of them have their pros and cons. I think that the best shape to be is the oval, because you can roll around easily, and stop easily too. But on the other hand, there are also a couple of cons, because even though stopping might be easier, the first time you roll to start "walking" must be very hard to do, and will require a lot of strenght.
