Today, math was confusing. When I first walked in to the room, we had to go to the science lab, where there is the Promethean board that you can barely write on, and there is always water on the tables. We had to prove something about inscribed angles in circles, but it would take an hour explaining what it was. When we first started to work on it, I got extremely confused about different mathematical properties and how they all worked to solve this problem. Time seemed to stop, and I could no longer understand anything people were saying. My brain seemed to stop working, although many other people in my math class seemed to understand it, at least better then me. I decided to read all the steps on the board over again to try to understand it. Afterwards, I could actually start to understand how it was done. When it was time to prove the next conjecture, I could actually start to get it. When it was time to leave, I left actually knowing how to prove it.

I felt the same but I was confused the whole time...nice job describing the lab and the board
