The struggles of math

I relate to a lot this guy has to say. One of the many things he said about what. Kids struggle most about math. I can totally relate to the NEATNESS part because I have very messy writing towards math. I have no clue why but I like to be messy and use my space to the extreme. Another term, I agree with is the space compartment. This is very important for some students because they need a lot of space because fractions require tons of room to figure out the problems. I completely agree for what he has to say, hands down. H

Fractions!!:)

My opinion on fractions is very very simple. I sometimes forget to make it neat so I can read my handwriting. I make errors like that. If I can make it neater then I will be great with fractions! I understand finding common denominators and flipping the reciprocals.

MARKS.

Our marks are on a website called home logic. They used a item called weighted percent, they use it to "weigh" things heavier than others. Items out of 100 are gonna be weighted than something out of 5. They use this to make sure bigger projects are getting more marks then small quizzes.
