Math

= 5th Grade Wrap-Up =

Over all I think that this was one of my better math years. I worked really hard and I think I had an A average. I was able to score 100% on 2 math tests straight. I felt really confident working on math because I knew what I was doing. The new skills are harder, but I am working on getting more comfortable with the new skills. They are not too hard, but it is new information getting rammed into my brain everyday. It is now too bad though, but overall I think that I did very well this year. = = = Skills = = = = Units 5+6 =

 * Multiplying and dividing including with decimals
 * Converting fractions and mixed numbers
 * Adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers
 * Finding area and volume
 * Things I can do myself **
 * pan balances
 * Things I need to work on **
 * Positive and negative numbers

Things I can teach each someone else

 * Find common denominators

Other Thoughts
I think that these units were not really easy, but over time they became easier to understand.
