Math

5th grade wrap-up

 * i think that i am doing well on the new skills that i have learned throughout the school year. but i still think that with some of the skills i could improve.

how are you on the following skills.

 * converting fractions/dec./%. i think that i am very good at converting because it is just one of the skills that has come very easy to me.
 * multiplying+dividing and including dec. i am doing great with the multiplying and i have improved a lot since the start of the year. but with the dividing i get confused.
 * converting fractions+mixed numbers. i am doing well at that skill but i could get faster at it.
 * adding+subtracting mixed numbers. it has came easy to me and it is one of the skills that i am best at compared to the other skills in math.
 * finding area and volume. this is by far the skill that i am best at because my dad is a builder so i may have an advantage.
 * pos/neg numbers. i think that i am very good at this skill because all that you are doing is going backwards.
 * pan balance problems. i think that i am not that good at pan balances and i could use a lot of improvement.

things i could teach someone else

 * turn exponential notation into a regular multiplication problem and vice versa
 * find and identify prime and composite numbers
 * read and write whole numbers through billions and decimals through thousdandths
 * factor numbers
 * add and subtract whole numbers and decimals
 * convert between inches,feet, and yards
 * identify place value of a dight
 * explain why it is useful to make a estimate
 * find the landmarks in a data set; minimum,maximum,range,mode
 * writing an open sentence to represent a problem

thing i can do in class

 * solve problems with exponents
 * use divisibility tests to find factors and divisors
 * make a magnitude estimate

things i need to work on

 * know the basic multiplication facts with rapid recall

=skills for units 3&4=

things i can teach someone else

 * measure angles within 2 degrees or exact value
 * identify and define equilateral, isosceles, scalene triangles
 * find the missing angle of a triangle without using a protractor
 * identify and name vertical, opposite, adjacent angles
 * explain and create a tessellation
 * use a map with a scale to find out real distance
 * determine what to do with a remainder in a word problem
 * write open number sentences for story problems
 * round numbers to whole numbers, various places including tenths

things i can do in class

 * identify and right, acute, obtuse angles
 * divide with 1 or 2 digit divisors
 * divide with decimals

=unit 5&6 skills=

things i can teach some one else

 * convert between fractions and mixed numbers
 * measure sections of a circle graph
 * make a circle graph from data
 * read stem and leaf plots
 * make stem and leaf plots
 * add and subtract fractions with like denominators

things i can do in class

 * find and i identify equivalent fractions
 * order and compare fractions
 * find common denominators
 * simplify fractions
 * convert between fractions, decimals, percents

things i need help with

 * add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators
