     Well, through out the year I have learned about many skills in math. I believe that when Mrs.Pope was here, she taught us many strategies and shortcuts, but then I guess they told her that she couldn't be telling shortcuts anymore because FUSD wanted us to show our work the long way. It kinda sucked, because all of the shortcut methods that Mrs.Pope gave us were shorter, and helped me a lot. 
     One of my favorite method was working with inequalities. They seemed pretty easy, and they were actually kind of fun. I learned a few more organized ways into doing them, and how to do them. I will tell you one tirck

Ratios or Percentages

     Have you ever went to a restaurant, and wondered that if you would purchase something would it be better to make it in a ratio or a percent? This may seem like something complicated  but to me I would prefer to purchase my food as a percentage. Ratios may help as well, but I just think that with money and with prices, that percentages would be a lot more easier to understand. 
     Percentages would be better, because since you're working with numbers, and money, then percentages are better. I just believe that ratios are used for understanding other things, not having to deal with restaurants and money.
