One area of strength for me this quarter has been decimals because I understanded the way to do the algorithm and memorized the important decimals very easily. Since my dad introduced me to decimals I’ve enjoyed solving decimals the moment I learned how to. When we started this unit I was very ecstatic because I’ve done this before. That section helped me learn more ways to solve the problems and more decimals I remember now. Here is a piece of evidence on my strength.
I am super proud of the GCF and LCM assessment given last week! I didn’t get a lot of practice in on this particular strategy, so when I got it back my mind was blown. The first time Robin explained the strategy was on a Monday when I was in math seminar. I was a bit confused when I first learned the concept. I continued to work on it until it made sense. It paid off.
My plan to improve my math skills is to do math problems with my dad every chance I get. So that I can eventually know the strategies like the back of my hand. I think I am getting some problems wrong because I am not practicing math enough, and the result is that I am forgetting the parts of the strategies. I believe that I can imprint the algorithms in my head if I just practice more. I really enjoy math so I am committed to working hard. I’d like to be in math seminar because it will challenge me to better myself.
