When we were doing just the solving the sector length and area I was doing completely fine. However, once we started doing story problems with solving, I started struggling. For some reason I could not do the clock problems very well at all. I knew that to start, I had to split the clock into sections of pi/6. After I got this, I did not know where to turn next. I did not know how to split up the one section I needed to find. For example, if it was 8:45, I didn't know how to find what portion of the clock was between the 8 and the 9. After the problem like this on the test, I asked Mr. Jackson how to solve these problems and now I understand them very well. I now know how to solve clock problems and problems like them, and that makes me very happy. I would definitely say that this was my muddiest point in the unit, and I am very glad that I cleared it up.

Don't hesitate to do what you did 1st trimester and get help right away. I know that answer keys haven't been uploaded quickly (rough 2 weeks for me), but if you come in before or after school (or during class), I can check your work!
