Well, we've just had our PAT maths test. It was a bit daunting at first, mainly because for me maths is not one of my strong suits. I've been attempting to become better at it in recent times, but in earlier years I haven't really payed much attention to how behind I was becoming in math. I managed to slide through anyway which surprised everyone, including myself.
So as I was reasonably excited and nervous for this test, unlike some of the other people in my class, who seemed as though they were going to thoroughly enjoy this activity. We got started and the questions were pretty easy at first but then as tests do, they got harder. I was rather stumped by a couple, mainly decimals and fractions, which I've never had a knack for. Anyway, the test was going fine, then I got to the large multiplication. (Dun dun duuuuuuhh *Shock, horror, gasp*) I got there in the end but have a feeling that I made mistakes.

You should ask Mrs Hogg what stanine you got, because it was on the computer, she's already started giving out the results, and by the way, my large multiplication skills are very much lacking, but algorithms saved the day, so if you want to get better at large multiplication, just get good at algorithms : D
ReplyDeleteP.S. It is kinda hard to read on your blog, I think you should try adding a high opacity black background onto where the text goes. Just remember hard to read doesn't mean it's not cool.
DeleteHaha, thanks James and yes, algorithms. I need to brush up on them, but at that moment I had a brain fart and couldn't remember how to do them. C:
DeleteHi Tabbs, I have to agree with James - I find it very hard to read on your blog (I can't even read James' first comment). I'm pleased you persevered with the maths PAT.
ReplyDeleteAs you may see, I've changed my backround and text color which I may end up changing again at a later stage, if I manage to find a better backround that I like.

ReplyDeleteHi Tabbs,
Sounds like you had fun! Those tests are always a bit daunting you never know if you're right or wrong. At least with the teacher you can read their notes and watch their facial expression!
It is really important to write about what happens in school as well as all the other things we do. You do this really well by making it funny!
Thanks Brooke, I wasn't really trying to make it funny but I'm glad you found it so. C:
