I have learned how to use ratios such as when I made my first cake. At first I didn't know how to use the ratios but in math I started to understand what a ratio was and how to use it and that really helped with a lot of things. I did have a lot of challenges with ratios though. I had to really pay attention in class and at first I could not understand them at all. But after a few days it got easier and easier for me to understand. I also thought at first that ratios were only for cooking/baking but now I understand that a ratio can be used for anything such as to help in counting things. One of the biggest things that I should have done when making that cake was that I should have added more flour and I got the ratios wrong and didn't add enough flour. That's all for now.

In this unit I learned a lot! For example I learned new ways to divide, I learned more about place value, And how I can use more of these in the real world, such as if you have to calculate how many things on the grocery list to get, etc. I also learned more about decimals and decimal placement. I even had to use these skills if my parents needed help with something math related they can sometimes not understand and I can help them. This unit helped overall with my skills a lot, it takes a lot of patience to learn decimals, and long division. This can help me in the future if I get a job that ends up with me calculating the cost of certain items, and setting up the correct quantity of items, etc. I have done a lot of division, and this unit really helped me perfect my skill!
