Very weak
Our students are very
good to compute to find
the multiplication of two
given fraction numbers,
but they cannot reason
about the multiplication
and understand it

Science Health skills requiring
Report information
processing
Our students are only
mastering the

Scientific habits, like
decision making,
seem lacking
