the easiest concept so fare has been common denominators i believe because you just have to multiply and get the same bottom numbers,the most difficult concept has been subtracting fraction because they confused me at first but know i understand , it confused me using the blocks.

I think for me, common denomintars is the easiest concept we've learned so far. I agree with megan, you only have to find the closest multiple and use that to multiply your numerator and your denominator. I find this the easiest concept.
The most difficult concept in this unit for me was also subtracting because I didn't understand how to take away that part of the fraction but I thought the concreat blocks help much more and know I understand how to subtract fractions way easier.

I think the easiest concept was mixed numbersbecause im pretty good at fractions and decimals. I think the hardest concept is sums and differences with decimals because it is a little hard to add and subtract decimals.

I think the easiest concept we have learned so far in this unit is changing a decimal to a fraction because all you have to think about is the place value of the decimal to get the denominator.
7.073 is 7 and 73 over 1000
I think the hardest concept we have learned so far in this unit is all the different methods of estimating the sums and differences of decimal numbers. There is too many methods to remember. I like when there is only one way of doing something.
Method 1 - round both numbers first
7.53 + 6.27 is rounded to 8+6 =14
Method 2 - round one of the numbers
7.53 + 6.27 is rounded to 7.53 + 6 = 13.53
Method 3 - round both to the nearest tenth
7.53 + 6.27 is rounded to 7.5 + 6.3 = 13.8

The easiest concept I've learned so far in this unit, was finding common denominators. Because, to find a common denominator, all you have to do is look at the multiples of each denominator, and find one in common.
Ex: 1/4 and 1/3
Multiples of 4- 4, 8, 12, 16
Multiples of 3- 3, 6, 9, 12
A common denominator of 1/4 and 1/3, is 12.
(3/12 and 4/12)
The most difficult concept I have learnt so far in this unit, was subtracting fractions. Because, at first it was a confusing concept when taking one fraction away from another, but then I learnt easier ways to picture the subtraction, like using common denominators, or manipulatives.
Ex: 5/6 - 1/2 = 2/6

The easiest unit we learned so far was Input-Output machines. I think that because all you have to do is take your number and either divide, multiply, add or subtract it by the number in the machine. Then it comes out as your answer.
EXAMPLE: Step 1. 50 ( goes in to the machine )
Step 2. You add 20. ( the number changes )
Step 3. it comes out as 70! ( the new number )
I think the hardest unit that we learned was geometry (angles).
I think that was the hardest because you have to know how to identify, measure and classify angles. Also, there are a lot of different types of angles to remember. Finally, you have to make sure that when you're measuring them it the number has to be exact or one degree off.

The easiest thing would have to be input-output machines because you just put it threw the machine and follow what it says to do. Also adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying are easy so it was easier also those are the only things you can use.
Ex: 40 goes into the machine
you add 10
get the answer 50
50 goes into machine
subtracts 10
it comes out 40.
I think the hardest thing is estimating decimals because I didn't really understand how to estimate and the different ways but luckily Chloe had taught me a different way so I sort of get it.
5.37+4.85 5+4=9

The easiest concept I've learned so far is finding a common denominator because i find it really easy because yo u have to find multiples then multiply.
Ex. 1/4 1/5 find a common denominator.
multiples of 4- 4, 8, 12 ,16 , 20 ,24
multiples of 5- 5,10 ,15 , 20 ,25
20 is the common denominator
The most difficult concept is subtracting because i didn't understand how to take a fraction away but then i realized using manipulatives and seeing it visually helped a lot . That made me understand how to subtract fractions.

The easiest thing would have been Times Tables because I already knew had to do most of them.
EX: 12 X 9 = 108
The hardest thing was probably measuring angles because I'm not very good at it.
EX: Not really and example for angles, staight angles = 180 degrees

I think the easiest concept is mixed numbers because fractions are pretty easy.I think the more hard concept is difference because its kind of hard to subtract fractions.

Easiest concept in this unit was adding fractions once I started to understand.This was easy because it is basically finding the commen denominator then adding the numbers together.

the easiest consept that we did in this unit was the common denominators because that is the way i can understand better because they are really simple to do
the most difficult in this unit was probably the subtracting the fractions because using the blocks messed me up because they seem harder to use, but now i undertpstand how and what to do

The most easiest concept I learned in this unit was finding the nearest common denominator and what you do to the bottom you do to the top. And using pattern blocks because it's visually seeing the shape.

In our unit on fractions so far i think that finding the common denominators [what you do to the bottom is what you do to the top] and i also think adding fractions was easy and also much easier than subtracting fractions. Subtracing fractions always messes me up because I get mixed up with which number goes where.

For me the easiest unit we've done so far was adding fractions. It's very simple for me to find the common denominator and then just add the numerators together. then you can switch it to a mixed number if needed. I think it's easiest because it's very basic and easy to understand.

The easiest for me is probably the one we did today or tmorrow. The hardest for me would probably be the dividing or multiplying from last lesson.the is why because this seems more Easyer .Also cause the last on confused me abit because it would keep switching kind of .
