I made great effort into making sure I was sharing accurate information for this project and presented this new knowledge in a poster using Canva. I carried out a detailed research about my god and ensured that my sources were trusted. I believe that I was able to provide a sufficient amount of evidence that show how the god was associated with historical events, their religious and spiritual importance along with their long-lasting and widespread impact. An obstacle I encountered was the lack of certified websites and information. It took me a minimum of 30 mins to be able to finish a single section about my god. Lastly, If I could change anything, I would use my class time wisely in order to cut off workload.
Core Competency
In this project, I demonstrated Creative and Reflective Thinking Skills. I was able to create my own template for the poster. I came up with the color scheme and theme on my own. I was able to learn more about Ancient Egyptian Beliefs by exploring various sources. I was able to acquire new information and combine it with basic, known information to form a conclusion. I assessed data, connected it to related information and proved my understanding of it in my own words in a poster. Overall, I was able to deliver my information accurately.
In the formula y= a(x-h)^2 +k , ‘a’ determines the width and direction of a parabola‘s opening. The parabola becomes more compressed than the parent function if a>1. The parabola becomes more stretched than the parent function if a<1. In my given equation, a= -2. The ‘a’ is a negative therefore it flips and opens downwards. If the ‘a’ in my equation was a positive, the parabola would open upwards. ‘h’ tells us the shift of the parabola horizontally. If ‘h’ is negative (-) it shifts to the left. Likewise, if ‘h’ is positive (+) it shifts to the right. My h= -7 therefore it shifts to the left. The vertical shift of the parabola is determined by the value of ‘k’. If ‘k’ is a negative (-) it shifts down, if ‘k’ is a positive (+) it shifts up. k= -2 in my equation therefore it shifts down. In addition, both ‘h’ and ‘k’ also tells us the vertex of a parabola. ‘h’ gives us the x value of the vertex while ‘k’ gives us the y value of the vertex.
Self- Assessment
I was able to represent the mathematical idea in words and in a graph. For this assignment, I made sure to be able to explain the significance of a, h and k using mathematical vocabulary. I made sure to incorporate words such as compressed and stretched to describe parabolas. I was able to accomplish this by referring to the notes. I remembered to show both parent function and my equation graphed to show a visual representation of both equations to give proper understanding. I properly showcased my graphs and ensured that they were the appropriately cropped and sized.
For this assignment I demonstrated Communication and Thinking Skills. I had to collaborate on making a Social Psychology Monopoly. With a partner, we were able to work together to reach a goal. I was able to do the work I was tasked with doing. We split the work evenly amongst ourselves to achieve a suitable outcome. We were able to work well as a team and we did so in just a matter of days. My partner and I were able to communicate properly.
