This week I finished the unit Right Triangles and Trigonometry. There were a number of videos/exercises I had to get through to finish the unit, however, looking back, I’m a bit disappointed with my progress and think I could have gotten more done. To be fair though, I most likely spent >6.5 hours on KA… Read More Week 22 – Trigonometry: Getting to Know SOH-CAH-TOA

I got through the first unit this week, Similarity, and started working through the next unit Right Triangles and Trigonometry but unfortunately didn’t get too deep into it. Similarity was more difficult than I anticipated. Some of the questions forced me to “think outside the box” so to speak which I found fairly tough. Although… Read More Week 21 – The Golden Ratio and the Road to Trigonometry

I managed to get through the unit Congruence this week but unfortunately didn’t get much further than that. Though I’m a disappointed with my lack of progress this week, I spent close to 7 hours working through KA which makes me feel better about it. The unit Congruence had a number of videos I needed… Read More Week 20 – Shapes Are Dope

I only managed to get through one unit this week which I was a bit disappointed about. I didn’t expect to get through two, but I thought I’d at least be able to start a second unit which didn’t happen. It turned out the unit I did manage to get through, Transformations, took more time… Read More Week 19 – A Week of Transformations

My goal was to get through the course Algebra 1 by end of 2020 and happy to say, goal achieved! I began the week by getting through the unit Irrational Numbers and then finished the Algebra 1 course challenge on Tuesday (Dec. 31st) morning scoring 97%. The one question I got wrong I could have… Read More Week 18 – Algebra 1 Complete, Geometry Begins

This week has been a grind. Parabolas have probably been the toughest subject for me to understand in the 17 weeks I’ve been working at this. As I write this, I wouldn’t have thought quadratic equations would be that much more difficult than linear equations but at this point I find them to be much,… Read More Week 17 – A 100% on the Hardest Test Yet

Before sitting down to write this post I assumed I’d be starting it off saying something along the lines of “Week 16 was one of my least productive weeks so far.” My hope was to get at least ~75% of the way through Quadratics Functions & Equations but at this point I am closer to… Read More Week 16 – Fifteen Pages of Progress

This weeks unit, Quadratics: Multiplying & Factoring, was once again a great refresher unit. Though I don’t feel like I understand quadratics and polynomials 100%, I now have a much better understanding of what they are and how to expand and/or factor them. As far as I know and as I’ve mentioned in a previous… Read More Week 15 – Fingers Qua-ssed!

Until this week I had only ever worked on linear equations which show up as a straight line when graphed. I had seen graphs with curved lines before but had never learned what equations produced those types of graphs. Working through the unit Exponential Growth & Decay this week, I finally got introduced to exponential… Read More Week 14 – Why Are Those Graphs Curved?

Initially, my goal was to get through every course on KA starting from Arithmetic and ending at Multivariable Calculus by February, 2020. I wanted to be able to apply to an undergrad program in one field or another that required a strong foundational understanding of math and, in order to apply for the following year,… Read More Week 13 – One Quarter of the Way There
