This unit was really hard for me because the formula for percentages was pretty hard for me. I didn’t really get it and I was having a lot of trouble. The night before the test my dad tutored me basically and I got a meets on the test. My understanding of Ratios and Rates has gotten better especially with Rates. The word problems for Rates really helped me understand them. Ratios didn’t really change for me because we didn’t really work on them in this unit. Moreover I didn’t really apply my knowledge on unit rates in real life but my brother did because my brother just turned 16 and he has to use unit rates all the time to check his gas mileage and speed when driving. As you can see this unit was hard but you can use a lot of this in real life instances. 

The learning target for this unit was “I can adeptly apply division with fractions, interpret various division expressions, use equations and diagrams for multiplication and division scenarios, reason through problems with non-whole number divisors and quotients, employ tape diagrams for equal-size groups, address 'what fraction of a group?' questions, solve measurement problems with fractional lengths and areas, and seamlessly integrate multiplication and division for multiplicative comparison and volume problems. I can confidently solve contextual problems, model real-world scenarios, and demonstrate proficiency in diverse fraction-related operations within the 6th-grade unit.” I got a meets overall in this unit and I feel like my understanding of division with fractions has not grown too much other than in diagrams. You could use dividing fractions in real life for splitting the bill when eating, calculating the sale price, following a recipe, or if you have a job in architecture. I had multiple challenges during this unit especially with the diagrams because I don’t always understand where they sometimes get the numbers. I also struggle with getting the right proportions when drawing the diagram. Overall this unit was alright and I don’t really want to do it again.

The learning target for this unit was “I can fluently calculate sums, differences, products, and quotients of multi-digit whole numbers and decimals using efficient algorithms. I understand place value, the properties of operations, and the connection between different mathematical operations. I can apply these concepts strategically in real-world problem-solving tasks with confidence and precision.” This unit can be used in real world situations like dealing with weight, money, length, etc. I didn’t think this unit was that challenging but apparently I was wrong because I got an Approaching on my final test.
