My Math Poem :)

I am really starting to badly resent my sixth-grade teacher. She spent the year with us, and here is a sum of the math we did:

1. Pascal's Triangle
2. A few pages of logic word problems
3. Caribou Math Contests
4. Prep for EQAO
5. EQAO.

And THAT'S ALL!!!!!!!!! We didn't learn ANYTHING new. Not how to multiply fractions, not how to find the rate, and certainly NOT A SMIDGEN OF ALGEBRA!!!!!!!!
The algebra I'm good at and I like. But fractions I'm being forced to revise (permanently, this time. I hope.) because we were LEFT WITHOUT AN EDUCATION!!!!!!!! How could a proper teacher leave us to the world with like NO regular sixth-grade math? Or at least some proper revision on FRACTIONS, which are imperiously important to mathematics and our mathematical universe? I don't know!! I'm SO mad!!!!!

I've made a challenge/resolution that I am permanently going to KNOW this stuff before March Break. Here's a poem that I hope will help me:

"Dividing fractions; easy as pie,
First flip the second fraction, then multiply;
Don't forget to simplify
Before it's time to say goodbye!"

  1. It's true. Out sixth-grade year was very education-lacking.
