Using direct speech

I am learning about direct speech in a narrative story.  Now I know that the quotation marks go after the other punctuation marks.  It was easy because I learnt that in my writing the speech marks have to go after other punctuation marks.

Making and justifying inferences

I was learning to make inferences.  I know I have to find clues in the story book like what the characters say and their actions.  It was easy for me because there were lots of clues in the words and also in the pictures.

Making equal shares

I was learning to make equal shares (division.)  Now I know that equal shares are done by doubles\ halves and skip counting.  Heres a example 15/5 has 5 cars and 15 little people that want to get inside.  So the best one to use would be halves because you know 5+5=10+5=15 so it is 5 in each cars.  It was easy for me because it was to find equal shares and groups.
