Critical Thinking Blog Post Pre-Cal 12

I wasn’t sure what to do with this question until I figured I could let t = cos(x) which helped immensely with understanding what to do next ie: factoring and cancelling.

I can gather and combine new evidence with what I already know to develop reasoned conclusions, judgments, or plans by trying different strategy’s. In this particular case I replaced cos(x) with t to more easily understand what is going on in the question and bring to light the strategy’s I already possessed.

A way I can grow in math is to just take it a lot of information from different sources such as Youtube, allowing me to have the tools necessary to figure out any problem that may arise.

Core Competency Reflection

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to talk it out and find a compromise which incorporates both of our ideas into our presentation. if they are no similarity’s between the two ideas I would bring up each idea and tell everyone that these were the two ideas we had for this and ask which one makes more sense to them.

An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is my journal entries. before I just did the journal entries because I was told to by my teacher but when we got to the “Death of a Salesman” unit I got a lot more interested in writing them. I poured extra time into making my journals and writing about what I found in my readings.

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I try to get to know them before starting any work. I ask their hobbies to see if we have any common interests, this helps us work together more cohesively.

In the future I would like to work on my creative thinking. To do this I will work on being able to generate better ideas. When it seems the good ideas just won’t come to me, I try to listen to music or meditate or do something completely different to help calm myself or create space in my mind so I can properly get the ideas I want to generate into my work.
