Mathematics
In Mathematics this term we have done the following units
1. Positive and Negative Mark: 97%
2. Fractions and Ratios Mark: 94%
3. Volume and Area Mark: 96%
I now realize where I went wrong on each test:
Unit 7: On Unit 7 I only got one problem wrong. The problem that I missed was really confusing for me. It was so long and almost everything we learned in that chapter was there. I guess I got confused because of all the signs and numbers.
Unit 8: As a learner I have to learn to take my time on each test and always check my work. On this test that’s what happened. I didn’t check my work when I was doing the test so I got those two problems wrong. But that wasn’t the only case in those two problems. It’s also because I didn’t practice that (multiplying mixed fractions) kind of problem. Now I plan to do more of those problems.
Unit 9: On Unit 9, just like Unit 7, I only got one wrong. The problem I got wrong was about labeling the height of a parallelogram and a triangle. I accidentally labeled the height the line outside instead of the one inside. From that test I learned an easier way to find the height of any shape.
The New Skills I have Learned Are:
- Adding and subtracting negative numbers
- An easier way to find the height of any shape
- Divide fractions
- Order of Operations
I would like to demonstrate to you and explain to you how to:
divide fractions. This is a link to a site that explains how to divide fractions. This is a video that explains how to divide fractions. I will walk you through the video while you watch.
I would like to demonstrate to you and explain to you how to:
do the Lattice Method. This is a link to a site that explains how to do the lattice method. This is a video that explains how to do the lattice method. I will walk you through the video while you watch.
Skills I Would Like To Improve On To Strengthen My Mathematics Are:
- Multiplying fractions
- Order of operations
- Adding and subtracting negative numbers
- Turn fractions into percents without a calculator
