This game was confusing for me because i don't really know how to put fractions into percents because I usually use a calculator but you are timed to do this and it's like you have to find equivalent fractions to that certain percent.

This game was really easy for me because I know a lot of equivalent fractions. If you try this game and know a lot of equivalent fractions you will be good at this game.

I did angle mania and there are a lot of different games on the website and I picked the golfing one and the steps are Step 1.first you put the angle in a little box or you can say its more like how far you go but at that angle you picked. Step 2. you put in the power you want so that means how much power you have to move from the spot you landed to the spot you are wanting to go to. Step 3.You shoot the ball and try to hit the ball in one shot but there are going to be some trees,and other hazards too if you don't make it in the hole in the first time you will get more tries.And those are the 3 steps to play angle mania golf game.

What I thought about the eyeballing game... it was challenging and fun. I had some troubles but sometimes I was exact on the target. My score was a 10. 24 is the worst and 16 is the best.

I was really excited when I found out my score. It was 36 what you have to do is you see how many check marks you can make in 20 seconds and mine was 36 check marks in only 20 seconds. I was really proud of myself!

I have 23 apples and they are on a tree, I gave 18 away and 16 of those apples were given back then 5 people wanted them back, then 3 gave them back and 2 fell off the tree. How many are left? Explain your thinking too.

What I thought of the game was I thought it was really cool and it knows your number. First, you think of a number. Next, add 4. Then subtract 7. Next it asks you to fill in your number that you ended up with. Then it knows your number that you started out with. That is my "Right Fit".
