How to do long division.We learned how to do it STEP-by-STEP Does McDonald’s Sell Cheese Burgers Really?D is for divide M is for multiply S is for subtract C is for compare B is for bring down R is for repeat.This year we also have learned about angles and the different type of angles.There is right,acute,obtuse angle.A right angle is 90 degrees. An acute angle is LESS than 90 degrees.An obtuse angle is MORE than 90 degrees.You measure angles with a tool called a protractor.A protractor comes in whole and half  circles.But the one we use mostly is the half circled one.In the middle of the school year we learned cross multiplication. You take 2 fractions and if you want to know if they are equal the you take the bottom number and the top of the 2nd number and multiply those together.And you do the same thing with the other one.And if one is bigger than the other one then they are not equal.We also learned how to use calculators.The MT button saves your answer when you finished the problem.You can push the MRC button and if it doesn’t change then you got it right but if it does change then you got the problem wrong.And then there is volume there is really nothing we learned about volume except that to get the volume of a 3D shape you multiply length width and height. Here are some examples of some things I told you about.

The name of my flower is the Ox-Eyed-Daisy. The scientific name is Chrysanthemum leucanthemum. The scientific classification is Asteraceae. This flower blooms all over Texas. The heighth of this flower is 1-2 feet tall. Its blooming period is May through July. The average planting success with this species is 70%. The leaves feel very thick, and are very leathery when you touch it. The flower is a bright white with mustard-yellow centers borne on single erect stems.

My favorite part in the book Willow Creek Home is the part where the Jordans build their new cabin.This is my favorite part because their old house had dirt floors and this new house that Papa built has plank floors.Mina has always wanted plank floors she was thrilled when she walked into the cabin and walked on the plank floors.

I think people celebrate because of holidays or something special.Christmas is a holiday everyone needs to celebrate.Thanksgiving is another holiday everyone needs to celebrate.My family celebrates Christmas,Thanksgiving,Valentines Day,Easter,April Fools,and 4th of July.I also think people celebrate because a sibling/family member graduates or goes to college.Or when someone wins something like the lottery,The X Factor,or American Idol.People celebrate because of holidays or something special that a family member did or does.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Division is always simple.But the way I learned it is 52 and 2and we do DMSCBR witch means Divide,Multiply,Subtract,Compare,Bring down,ad Repeat.So you divide 5 and 2 witch means how many 2’s can you get out of 5.2 right so you put the  2 above the 5 then check off the D.Then you multiply 2 and 2=4 so you put the 4 below the 5 check off the M.then subtract 5 and 4=1 check off the S.Next you compare 1 and 2 check off the C.Then bring down the 2 check of the B.Then the last and final step is repeat so from there you do it all over again.Divide 12 and 2= 6 so you put the 6 next to the 2.Then you multiply 6 and 2=12.Then subtract 12 and 12.Now compare.Now multiply to check.

For multiplication I have learned multiplication long ways and short ways.Doing it long ways is with a grid.First you expand the first number that you are multiplying {factors}and then you multiply the number you expanded.Like 56 and 42 you would multiply 50 and 40=2,000.Then you would multiply 50 and 2=100.Next you would multiply 6 and 40=240 then multiply 6 and 2=12.Then add up 112+2,240 and get the answer that’s how you do it the long ways.Short ways is a little easier cover up the 4 and multiply 6 and 2=12 put the 2 under the 2 and carry the the1 above the 5.Then you x out the the 2 and 1 and multiply 4 and 6=24 so you put the 4 down carry the 2.Then do 5 and 4=20+2=22.For multiplication the answer to a multiplication problem is called a product.
