Taking A Math Test

I love math ! It is my favorite subject in school. I always do well in math.

When I take a math test I get excited!

When I see 3+3 on the paper, I get real excited!

I THINK FOR A SECOND AND THEN… I…I……

I YELL OUT 6!!!! FOR EVERYONE TO HEAR!!!

I thought my teacher would be happy, but she was not.

She told me that when I yell out the answers, I may make other students feel sad that they are not as good as math as me.

I learned that there are times when I can say an answer and there are times when I have to write an answer.

When we are in a group and the teacher asks a question, I can raise my hand and say the answer.

When we have math tests I have to write my answers on my paper. 3+3=

When my teacher gives me my math test, I look at Here is how I remember: When my teacher gives me my math test, I look at the paper and I say to myself….

This is a pencil test, I have to write my answers STOP

“This is a pencil test, you have to write your answers ”. Before I take the test my teacher puts a stop sign on my desk and says, “This is a pencil test, you have to write your answers ”. STOP

When I get that excited feeling about math I look at my sign and tell myself “This is a pencil test I have to write my answers on my paper.”

When I do that my teacher and all my friends in my class are happy.

And so am I!
