Math

=__5th Grade Wrap-Up __=  When I get introduced to something new, I can get a bit confused, but I usually get the hang of it after the 1st or 2nd problem I do. I think that I've got pretty good at converting fractions to decimals to percents, and vice versa. I think that I've also got multiplying with decimals down pretty well. Except sometimes I get overconfident in myself, rush though those problems, and make silly mistakes...

Things I Can Do By Myself:
 * Converting fractions and mixed numbers
 * Adding fractions and mixed numbers
 * Subtracting fractions and mixed numbers
 * Finding area and volume

Things I Can Do At School:
 * Positive and Negative numbers
 * Pan balance problems

=__Math Units 5&6__ =

Things I could teach someone else:


 * Find and identify equivalent fractions
 * Convert between fractions and mixed numbers
 * Order and compare fractions
 * Measure sections of a circle graph
 * Read stem-and-leaf plots
 * Make stem-and-leaf plots
 * Add and subtract fractions with like denominators
 * Convert between fractions, decimals, and percents

Things I can do in class:

 * Make a circle graph from data
 * Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators
 * Simplify fractions (I do it well, but I rarely remember to simplify)
 * Find common denominators

I will try to focus on..........between now and spring:
=__Math Units 3&4__ =
 * focusing more
 * slowing down
 * not rushing
 * reading directions carefully

** Things I could teach someone else: **
=**__Math Units 1&2__** =
 * **Measure angles within 2 degrees or exact value**

**Things I could teach someone else:**

 * Turn exponential notation into a regular multiplication problem and vice versa
 * Solve a problem with exponents
 * Find and identify prime and composite numbers
 * Know the basic multiplication facts with rapid recall
 * Use divisibility tests to find factors and divisors
 * Identify the place value of a number
 * Make a magnitude estimate
 * Find the landmarks in a data set: minimum, maximum, range, mode
 * Writing an open number sentence to represent a problem

**Things I can do in class:**

 * Read and write whole numbers through billions and decimals through thousandths
 * Factor numbers
 * Add and subtract whole numbers and decimals
 * Convert between inches, feet, and yards
 * Explain why it is useful to make an estimate

**Other Thoughts:**
-I need to work on reading directions slowly and carefully. -Sometimes I work too fast, and make silly mistakes.
