1. FRACTIONS

I agree that student have problems with fractions, because they rely on calculators more instead of their brain.

2. INTEGERS                                                                                                                                          I agree with this one also,because we rely on calculators too much, and so we also struggle with integer. (Positive and negative)

3. ORDER OF OPERATION                                                                                                                     Again students rely on calculators, because it's all in the technology we have now. With BEDMAS you need to know how to divide, multiply, add, and subtract. You also need to know the order it's supposed to be in.

4. DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY                                                                                                                 I've never learnt distributive property, but I know that when doing it, say you have 3(x+2) it equals 6 because you have to move the 3 to the x space, and then multiply 2 by 3 and that equals 6. 

5. NEATNESS                                                                                                                                            Neatness is huge, because if you're writing decimals, you have to make sure you can see the decimal, or the answer could be wrong, and who ever wrote it out and answered the equation may not catch it, so they will get it wrong.

6. PENCIL NOT PEN                                                                                                                              You should always write your math in pencil, because if you make a mistake it's pretty hard to remove that mistake, and then you could have scribbles all over your page, and that looks messy, and you want to make sure your math is neat so others can read it too.

7. ENOUGH SPACE                                                                                                                               You want to make sure you have enough space of your assignment, because if not, your answer could get mixed with another one, and that could give you the wrong answer also. You also want to make your writing larger, so you can see it better, and tell what number is which and where the decimals are.
