What have you learned this year in math? 

This year in math I have learned a lot. I have learned addition and subtraction. Math games taught me a lot of subtraction facts. I learned mulitplication. When I see 4X1, I don’t add the one. It means one group of four. If it was like 4X2, it will be two groups of four. So you just add one more four. It will be 8. Math teaches people how to do multiplication and subtaction and addition and subtraction.

Here is the chorus:

Subtract!

Take away! Compare!

Subtract!

Take away! Compare!

Take the smaller number from the bigger number.

Subtract!

Take away! Compare!

And here is my verse:

Mikail and Abdulrazak want a bike.

It cost $500. It isn’t a trike!

I have 50 dollars and he does too.

How do we find out? What do we do??

$500-$100=$400

This week in math, I learned subtraction and addition. I learned to play Anything but 5. You roll the dice and add them together. If you roll a 5, your turn is over. You can roll the dice again if you don’t get 5. You subtract the total from 95. It is fun. Math rocks.This week in math helped me and other people  learn subtraction and addition.
