Monday September 23 (Day 2)

We started a long journey today. Today we took a pretest on our math facts. The test we took was 100 multiplication problems and they were from 0 to 10. We were given 5 minutes to complete all 100 problems. In the class 12 people were able to pass the test and 18 people needed more time. This means that most students were not able to get done in time and that we need to improve on our multiplication facts. The fifth grade standard is to be able to complete these facts in about 2 and a half minutes. This shows that we did not do as well as we expected. The pretest gave us an idea that we need to work hard. We have a long hard journey ahead of us but we can do it.
