Life in 5th Grade
5th grade is so cool!We are learning a lot of new stuff this year like in Mrs. McFall’s class we are learning about exploration.We learned that Christopher Columbus never stepped a foot on to America and yet,he gets all the credit for “finding”America.A man named Amerigo Vespucci actually gave America it’s name.In Mr. McBride’s class,we are learning about the life cycle of all different types of animals.It’s so cool!In Mrs. Brantley’s class we are learning how to multiply 3 digit by 2 digit numbers using partial products.It’s pretty hard when you start doing it for the first time,but as you go on,it gets easier.Also,in 5th grade we get to play a math game called Prodigy.My class is kind of addicted to it including me.It’s a wizard game where you have to fight monsters and stuff,but you fight the monsters doing math problems.That’s really addicted once you get really high up in your level.You get weapons and stuff by fighting more and more monsters.If you want the exclusive things then you have to get a membership.Unfortunatley,that costs like 8 real dollars.5th grade is so fun.i’m looking forward to a fantastic year
My 4th Grade Math Year
I learned all kinds of things this year,but I learned so much new stuff that i’m going to only pick a few,so here we go.One of the new things I learned was how to simplify fractions and how to add and subtract fractions. I had a great experience with that.Another thing I learned was how to do long division and then multiply to check.I had a lot of fun with that.The final thing was when I learned how to change mixed numbers to improper fractions and change improper fractions to mixed numbers.My favorite part of fourth grade math was when we did the M and M’s packet.My favorite part of that was when we ate them. My least favorite part was when we had to do all of those tests throughout the year.Tests and I don’t get along at all.I think my strengths are all facts,fractions, and geometry.I’m good at all of those things.I think my weaknesses are protractors,algebra,and word problems.I’m not good at any of those things.I think i’m going to miss 4th grade.
I have a lot of thoughts about 5th grade math.But,I am going to tell a couple since I have so many.The first thing is that I wish they would let us use calculators in 5th grade.The second thing is that I want to be nice to the teachers so they will be nice to me.Finally,I probably would need more help with algebra.It’s kind of hard for me.Anyway,I cant wait until next year i’m so excited.
