Math Brings Opportunities

At Hoover Elementary, 6th graders from Mrs. Preston's math class have shared about what they've been learning recently in the 4th quarter.

The things they shared are common life skills such as ratios, fractions, and persentages. Those three skills are just a few of dozens of other math skills that the students will have to know in order to move along in school.These skills can be as simple as this, Theres 100 students in Mrs. Prestons math class and 50 are gone. Whats the persentage, ratio, and fraction? The persentage is 50% the ratio is 50 to 100 and the fraction is 50 over 100.

We also have interviewed some of these students, and they all said about the same thing. "Math can get you anywhere and everywhere, so stick with it". And in most adults opinions there right. Well before we go we have one last quote by 6th grade student, Jesse Miller. "With out math theres no oppertunities and with out oppertunities theres no future".
