These are my grades of my take home test. I am pretty proud of what I did. I feel like I got better at understanding fractions and knowing how to fix wrong problems. I also feel like I can get better at explaining why a problem works or explaining how common denominators work. But over all I think that I did well!

This is a picture of my pop quiz. I think I did well on this one. I was proud because I thought that I wasn’t really good at fractions and math overall. After I got my grades, I’ve been trying to work harder and harder, even though sometimes I don’t do well. I will try to get even better by practicing fractions on the sheet that Margaret gave us. I will also do xtra math do get better at my multiplication facts because when you use fraction division and multiplication, I will need to know my facts.

This is my report of Xtra math. At the beginning of xtra math, I would be really slow and the products didn’t come to my mind very fast. But then after a few days of trying I got better and multiplication facts are easier to remember! Sometimes it’s a little disappointing when I don’t pass because I tried so hard and then I didn’t pass, but the next day I try even harder.

Before

After

These two pictures are a before and after picture. The before is when all my problems were clumped together and I couldn’t see the space in between each problem. The after is when everything was more clear and there was space in between each problem. It’s important to have neat work because if I need to look back at my work I can understand and see where my work is.
