Math

Units 5 and 6
I thought that the math units in 5th grade were challenging but not too hard for me to bare. There was so much I learned and I really excelled more than last year. The thing that I enjoy the most out of the most recent math unit called finding the area and volume. Over all I learned so much and so much more than I had known in 4th grade.


 * I am great in converting fractions and decimals. I enjoy it and it is not too hard.
 * I can multiply and divide better than I used to be able to. I don't really enjoy it as much as other things that we have done but it is fine to do.
 * I can convert fractions and mixed numbers. It is not to hard for me.
 * I can add and subtract mixed numbers easily. I don't dislike it but I don't like it.
 * I love finding area and volume. It is what I like most out of all the options I have listed.
 * I can subtract and add positive and negative numbers. Adding a negative is like subtracting a positive and adding a positive is like subtracting a negative.
 * Also, and last of all I can defiantly do the pan balance. They are fun as well as not to hard. They give my mind a challenge.

Things I need to work on Order and compare fractions, and simplify fractions.

Things I can teach someone else:
 * Read stem and leaf plots
 * make stem and leaf plots
 * find the common denominator
 * add and subtract fractions with like denominators
 * add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators
 * order and compare fractions
 * convert between fractions
 * percents and decimals

Things I can do in class:


 * Convert fractions into mixed numbers
 * make a circle graph from data
 * measure sections in a circle graph

Things I need to work on:


 * Order and compare fractions
 * and simplify fractions

multiplying in large digits
__Unit 5__

__Things are great in math class. We have been studying how to find and identify equivalent fractions, convert between fractions and mixed numbers, order and compare fractions, measure sections of a circle graph, and make a circle graph from data. It was hard at first but I studied a little so that I could get the hang on this unit's math. I will be focusing now between spring break on fractions, mixed numbers, and find and identify equivalent fractions.__

Unit 6

In math class we are learning to read stem and leaf plots, make stem and leaf plots, find common denominators, add and subtract fractions with like denominators, ass and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, simplify fractions, and convert between fractions, decimals and percents. The hardest thing for me out of the things we learned in unit 6 is to simplify fractions because I keep on forgetting that you have to make it the lowest fraction that it can get. From now to Spring break I will focus on adding and subtracting fractions and simplifying fractions.
