Tammy Tellez 904

Cover letter
Hi my name is Tammy Tellez and I’m a 9th grader in class 904. In math class I
have learned many skills. Such as bisecting line segments, finding the volume of
prisms, and much more. I have enjoyed learning these skills in class. What I
enjoy about this class is learning different calculations. One thing that is
challenging about this class is trying to remember all the formulas. Preparing
for roundtables was a bit challenging because I had to find a lot of calculations
and figure out how much everything costs. For example, how much tile, carpet,
paint, and sheetrock costed and how much I needed of it.
