In 5th Grade, Ana gave Freddie and I a super hard math problem that we would always work on when we finished our classwork and had nothing to do. Freddie and I worked on this problem all year. On June 8th, a week before school ended, we finally finished it, and were correct. At the very beginning of the year last year, I had a bit of operations with fractions, my grades weren’t as good as I would have liked them to be, and I was struggling. But then I mostly straightened out and did much better. I love super challenging problems, and learning how to solve them. What I don’t like about learning math, is busy work. I’d rather have one really hard problem, than a huge amount of small easy ones, where all the time I am spending, is writing rather than thinking. I would consider myself a pretty good math student, because I love thinking about things. I always do my homework as soon as I get home. Sometimes I love math, and other times I don’t.
