I demonstrated communication in this test when I answered the short answer questions filly and in Seth. I got 100% on all the explication questions. If I were to take the test again I would take more time to do it
I demonstrated communication and collaboration when I worked with my partner to complete both of my videos quickly and done well. I emailed my client to ask if my video addressed the course accurately or not. I strengthened this skill because I usually do not email teachers to ask for help nor do I work super well with my partner. Next time I will ask more people to give feedback on my videos to increase the amount of feedback I get.
Our group needed to invent our own linear system and show how to represent it graphically and algebraically.
The Mathematical vocabulary we used during our group assignment were: Linear system, X value, Y value, true, solution, diagonal, values, point, addition method, and substitution method. A linear system is a set of equations involving one or more of the same variable. Solution is the point in which 2 linear equations cross paths, it is shown as an x and y coordinate. addition method is a method which you add 2 equations together in standard form with the goal of having an answer with only 1 variable. substitution method is when you isolate one of the variables, for example; x= 2-3y. My group isolated Y= 2/3x+5. It is super important that you use the correct vocabulary to improve your understanding because when you are thinking of what to do you can have those key words that make sense for a certain part in the math you are conducting. it is also helpful for others understanding if you are explaining anything to them to use the right vocabulary.
My group decided to start by plotting the solution and then drawing the lines for the linear system. We did this because we though it would be easier since we knew the 2 equations would be correct and follow the rubric. Then we wrote the equations for line A an B in slope intercept form. We did this because it would be easy to then turn it into standard from if we needed to. We then isolated the Y variable because we chose to do substitution method. Our equation was 2/3+5=2x+9. The next step was to get rid of the fraction to make the equation easier to do, so we multiplied the whole equation by the denominator of the fraction. From there we were able to easily find the X value by using simple algebra and then plug the X value into one of the original equations to find the Y value.
During this assignment I worked well with my group to achieve a common goal. I did this by being open to everyone in my groups opinions and ideas and also giving my own ideas in a constructive way.
I asked questions ad responded in an active and supportive way. I did this by always listening to what my group members have to say and trying it. I also gave my own ideas when I pointed out that we have to get rid of the fraction before we can continue the substitution method.
I demonstrated Collaboration when i worked with a partner on a group assignment. Some skills I gained while doing this activity are how to work well with a partner and think creatively to make up sentences. If I were to do this assignment again I wouldn’t do anything differently.
One skill we learned in class was taking feedback from others on our projects and using it to improve the project. This is the same to testing products in real life as you should see what the customers think about it as well as what you think about it. Another skill we learned in the class is giving helpful feedback on others projects to assist them on improving it in any way. This is helpful as in the real world you can get paid just to try products and give feedback on it. The format we use to give feedback is T.A.G. Which is T. Say something you like, A. suggest a way they can improve the assignment and G. Ask a question about their assignment.
I demonstrated collaboration the first day of this elective when me and 4 other people had to design and present a product from a bunch of random items. We were instructed to plan out as a team and create as a team and we did that.
Example #1
This is linear.
I can tell this is linear from the graph because the line is straight at all times.
I can tell this is linear from the equation because the variable has an exponent of 1, if variable has an exponent of anything except 1 it is non linear.
Example #2
This is linear.
I can tell this is linear from the equation because the variables have an exponent of 1 attached to them, a non linear equation would have an exponent greater or less than 1 attached. All of the variables in an equation need to have an exponent of 1 for it to be linear.
I can tell this from the graph because the line is straight, even if it’s diagonal it is still linear.
Example #1
This is non linear.
I can tell this is non linear from the equation because the variables in the equation have an exponent that’s not 1 meaning the equation is non linear.
I can tell this is non linear from the graph because it is not going in a straight line.
Example #2
This is non linear.
I can tell this is non linear from the equation because the 2 has an exponent that is not 1 meaning its a non linear equation..
I can tell this is non linear from the graph because the line is not straight, also something cool about this is although it may look like it’s touching the y axis in the negatives it never touches it.
I explored Mathematical ideas using technology when I experimented with linear and non linear questions by graphing them on the Desmos app.
I analyzed data and used criteria to draw conclusions when I did a test to see if a non linear graph ever touched the line by zooming in but it did not. I also analyzed the data of other equations to see if they were linear or not.
I justified my conclusions with evidence when I gave reason to each of the 4 graphs on whether they were linear, or not and why.
I showed communication strengths in this assignment when I spent the time practicing with my group, and talking with my teacher to help with content I don’t understand. I then presented this with my group by doing a skit of our script, we all got 100% on the assignment.
Next time I will use my class time more wisely so me and my group don’t have to rush later on. I will do this by keeping focused the whole time.
I chose this artifact because it was the main built up of the semester so far. I studied the guide many times and went over it with my mom. Some strategies I used for studying were repetition method which is when I try to memorize the content fully. Next time I would like to study sooner before the test rather than the day before so it’s less stressful. I also did research on certain parts I did not understand to further help with my studying .
👹
When I get stuck on a problem, I have strategies for what to do next: they include, looking at the question form a different view. Asking for help.
When I need to boost my mood or refocus I listen to music or eat food.
I can prevent school related stress by managing my time efficiently
Some ways I stay mentally or physically healthy by working out and going on walks.
