what is eureka math?

Its also called great minds

a good rule of thumb is look at the score. if it's a 2-point question, shows at least 2 steps. if it's 4-point question, shows at least 4 steps. that way you don't get dock

sounds smart. i never heard of it <:KEK:726877368601411624> are you in gifted program?

I'm not in gifted I was 1 point short of getting in when I tested to see if I can get in when I was in 5th grade.

You needed like 96 points and I got 95 points.

oof. can you still retest to get back into the program?

You have to be recommended by a teacher and they very rarely do it because it need to be approved by the principal and the school board.

Its a big mess of paper work to do it

bureaucracy, huh

My speech therapist recommended me for it

I probably could have got in because I hurried through the test because we were taken by a big test in class that I didn't want to miss. I would have took my time but the women wouldn't tell me what the test was for.

when i was in 5th grade all the schools switched to common core or whatever and the teachers tried to force everybody to show their work but most of the students didn't and we all failed the first quarter

we didn't have to show our work after that

😬 that's weird

but if its just you who is not showing work idk how to help

i thought it's automatic lol. back in vietnam, we were taught to show our works back in grade 1. it's up to high school that we can start having shortcuts

yeah i was in some gifted class and we did almost every thing in our head and then we were told to write down our thought process and most of us, me included, didn't know how to do that

my school prior to common core pushed math facts really hard and i had everything up to like hundreds memorized

I haven't had a problem in middle school with showing work because for all three years I have been in advanced classes so the teacher doesn't make us show work but in elementary they didn't have advanced classes.

what i do now is just writing numbers down related to the problem

Right now I'm just having trouble in ELA. I have a 95 percent right now so I'm kinda close to having a B. I have all As and Bs on tests and essays this 9 weeks but wee do this thing called I-Ready and you need to take tests but it's stupid cause they don't really explain it to you and I have been making Fs in the test part because you get a grade for time down and test score. However last week I tested into the high school program and it is a lot better than the 8th grade one.

but i know my teacher really well and hes chill

yup. that is a life saver trick

you have 95% and you're close to a B? 😂 that's nuts

dang and i thought an 80 was good

92 is a b

oh your on a different scale

holy shit. that's tough 😂

Did you get the result of the high school program test?

They don't give you an exact score I just know I don't have to do I-Ready anymore because I tested into the high school one.

well that sounds like it will be better for you so congratulations

Same

Lol I always lose Mark's for some error in my math but gets the right answer usually

like writing the fraction wrong which I should have thought of but overlooked it lmao

same. it's tough especially when you did all the steps correctly and then got the final answer wrong because it's dumb mistake earlier lol

this one time I screwed up completing the square. Idk how I even got the right answer

There is a gifted program at my school. You need to take 3 tests and you have to get a certain score for each test to get in. I took it in 5th grade and I passed 2 but was a couple percent off of the last one. Took it again in 7th and nearly the same outcome except a little worse.

I’m doing quite alright for where I am now but stressed for HS

don't worry. high school will be a breeze. from my personal experience, grade 9 was the best year with the lowest pressure.

Nice
