Math Concepts

Hello Grade Fives!


We are finished learning most of the grade five math concepts. I would like you to reflect on your current math skills. Which area would you like us to revisit and why? (try to describe the difficulty you are having)

a) numbers (reading, writing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, fractions, decimals, percentages, mental math)

b) patterns and relationships (visual patterns, number patterns, growth patterns, functions)

c) Shape and Space (perimeter, area, volume, capacity)


As usual, I look forward to reading your thoughtful responses.


Love, Mrs. French

Dear mrs French i would like to revisit mentil math were you go(eg 5 x 18 you would go (5 x 10 ) = (5x 8) because i am for getting it and i would like to remember it but i forgot it.

Dear Mrs.French

I would like to have a review on patterns and relationships because we learned that at the end of the year and i sort of forget how to do it. I would like some help with that subject because it is coming close to the end of the year and I want to remember how.

I hope I remember!

Dear Mrs. French
I would like to revisit space and shape because I really like capacity and I would like to learn more abuot it.
bye for now.

Dear Mrs.French,

I think that we need to revisit expanded form and input and out put. On most of my math quizes I get seven out of ten for those two. They get in my way only if there are long decimals (expanded notation)That is all that I am really hveing problems with.

I would like to revist it Shape an Space.The reson is because I would like to dive deeper in all of the Perimeter,Area,and Volume.one more reson is besause I had fun learning those subjects.

Dear Mrs. French,
If I could re-visit one of the areas in math, I would choose fractions, decimals, and percentages. I would choose this one because I couldn't convert the fractions into decimals and then into percentages as fast as I would have liked to. I was also having troubles with memorizing all the fractions blah, blah, blah ect. It was kind of hard to memorize because there was so many of them!!! In addition, it was really fun too. I hope to learn more about this area in math when I am in grade 6. If I had to re-visit one of the areas we covered in Grade 5 math, I would re-visit Fractions, Decimals and percentages.

Dear Mrs French,
If I could do one of the areas in math, I would choose area ,perimeter and volume. I would choose area ,perimeter and volume because I want to be an arcitect. It would really help me in my career because I hace to desine structures and make the area and perimeter of the desine. I would also get the volume of the desine because houses are 3-D. It would also help me in grade 6 because we will probably revisit it.

Dear Mrs French
I feal like I am doing my Math vairy well and mostly every thing elts but I and having a little truble with volume and of corce my writing and a little bit of fracions. Well thank you for being such a good teacher.

Dear Mrs French

I think that I need to revisit Mentle math. The thing I most hate is distributive law. I really suck at it.

Dear Mrs French
For math I would like to revisit numbers and shape and space. Numbers because they're somethings I have trouble on. And shape and space its just plain fun.

Dear Mrs.French
I would like to recisit mentil math. i know that i know it but when i have to do it i just forget.

flameguy115 said...

well there is not mucht hat i'm having trudle with. i having a little truble with fractions they are just confusing and i get them wrong a lot.

Hawaii said...

Dear Mrs. French
I would like us to do more multiplacation with decimals. I think it would be very useful when you are buying thing in the store. Second, it is very fun to do and it will help in lots of different things you are doing.

unicorn said...

I want to revisit mental math. I had for gotten how to do mental math. I want to little more about it. Plus I do not know how to do distributive law. I want to revisit mental math.

Mario said...

Dear Mrs. French
I would like to go back to mental math because I forgot a tiny bit I have to really think to remember how to do it all the time.

Dear Mrs French

I would like to revisit division. Because I have a really hard time figuring out division. And it was to short of a lesson I only learned a couple facts. And the more I practice the better I get. And I could get better grades for my report card next year if I practice really hard.

Drifter said...

Dear Mrs.French with math i would like to revisit maental math, for it is slipping out of my head. And i would also like to now a bit more on in put and out put.

This is all that I am wonting to know more about or need to practise

your student

Goofy said...

Dear Ms.French***
The area I would like to revisit the most would be rounding I do have troubles in the math reveiw strips with it agh it frustrats me.And maybe i would want it a bit for number words.
THANKS FOR READING!!! From Goofy

spongebob said...

Dear Mrs French
In numbers I would like to revisit percentages. In patterns I would like to revisit functions. In shape and space I would like to revisit capacity. The reason I want to revisit this is I had troble with them when we didn't in class.

Claire said...

Dear Mrs. French

I would like to reavisit division because I was srtuggling with it alot but I enjoy it now so I think It is easyer to do something when you love doing it. I also would like to reavisit volume because I still am mot good at doing it with decemals. I also would like to reavisit patterns because I like making up patterns then coulering them. I also realy do enjoy math( in some ways) and would love to do more of it.
Love: claire

Good morning Mrs. French! How are you today (May 5th, Tuesday)? I am alright.

The subject that I would like to revisit. First, I would like to revisit a little bit more of capacity under the subject of shape and space. Second, I am pretty good at that subject but I felt that if we spent a little bit more time on it then I may get a better picture of estimating, e.g. How many Leters will fill up a gas tank in a truck. Third, I also thought that the questions (above) were quite helpful but if we spent another week or so on capacity then I would be more stronger and confident. That was they subject that I would like to revisit

:) Have a great day! :)

Flicka said...

Dear mrs.French I think that we should revisit fractions and decimals wich is under numbers because I am having a little trouble and if we did that for a week taht would help me alot.I'm sure if there are other people struggling with it to then it well help them alot.

Have a good night:)

timmy and the lords of the under worlds said...

I have lots of troubles on decimals, percectages, & mentle math just a little for decimals. those are the only ones I have troubles on.

princess said...

hi mrs.French


i would like you to relate to rounding but i guess you already have so thank you, but i would like you to come back to distributive law

bye bye

fredy said...

Dear Mrs.French I am struggling with percentages. And kind of good at fractions but I need help on it.
