Critical Thinking

In this course I showed my critical thinking skills by fixing the carburetor on my small engine. When my partner and I started up our engine, we realized that our engine had been on full idle, full idle means that the engine is running at full speed while at idle. We realized our engine was stuck at full idle because we would start our engine, and we would be unable to make it go faster because it was already at its fastest. We realized this quickly with some help from Mr. Kent, and my partner and I quickly solved the problem so our engine could run regularly.

This picture above is a picture of the valve that was responsible for making our engine run at full idle.

The picture above is a picture of the governor which is how Mr. Kent and my group realized what was happening because it wasn’t moving.

The picture above is the top part of the engine, we thought our engine was on full idle because we thought the spark plug was stopping the springs from moving but Mr. Kent helped us realize and explained that wasn’t the case.

FMPC 10 – Core Competency Self Assessment

Reflecting on Working with Others at our Desks

I found working with others at our desks is the most helpful because we can help each other and verify answers without the help of a teacher.

Work Representing Artifact

I felt like this because it is at the end of the day and I’m more tired.

Core Competency

Critical Thinking

I chose critical thinking because you need to think about many things when doing more complicated math problems, and also, being able to think critically can help with the ability to do math.

I show how I can think critically in this class because when given work, I was able to finish the work quickly without errors.

My Product

Melting Face on Apple iOS 15.4

The reason I chose this emoji is because today I woke up very awake but I am slowly getting more tired.

Personal Health and Awareness

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I listen to music and do my work but take frequent breaks. The reason I listen to music is because having noise in the background helps me focus on my work so I can finish faster. I also take frequent breaks because I like watching some shows in between studying.

Core Competency Reflection

I take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share.

When I need to do something with a group I take always take on my role and help others when they need it.

I recognize different points of view and can disagree respectfully. 

If I am disagreeing with someone, I am able to understand why they have that opinion and I am able to disagree with them without being disrespectful.

I can advocate for myself. 

If I someone disagrees with me, I am able to defend my opinion respectfully and advocate for my opinion

I can analyze evidence to make judgements.

I am able to look at different aspects of evidence and decide on how to act based on the evidence provided to me.

One Core Competency I Would Like Improve on

If I were to Improve on one of the four core competencies I chose, I would like to improve on my ability to analyze evidence and make judgements. The reason I would like to improve on this one is because it would be better if I was less indecisive in acting based on my judgments.

Japanese-Canadian Internment

During these times I think Japanese individuals in British Columbia Should be separated into internment camps due to many Canadians worrying about an attack from the Japanese because of the recent attack on Pearl Harbor. The first reason to put Japanese people into internment camps is because if Japan were to attack the British Columbian coast, there is a possibility that some may help the attackers because of their heritage and connection to where the attackers are from. Another reason to put Japanese people into internment camps is because many people are very scared of what the samurai do to the doctors and nurses and do not want to have any risk of the same thing happening near them, so to not cause major panic, I think it would be best to separate people with Japanese heritage into internment camps because it just separates people without any problems and reduces the public panic and risk. 

Reflection

Curricular Competencies

✓ I did assess, understood and explained the significance of the threat of the Japanese army and its out and paragraph.

✓ I did assess, understood and explained the significance of the threat of the Japanese army and its treatment of people it conquered, in British Columbia, in my research handout and paragraph.

✓ I did assess and explained the justification for different views of Japanese-Canadian internment in my research handout and paragraph.

Core Competencies

✓ I did analyze evidence from the research I did and made judgements.

✓ I can now understand and tell, after examining the facts of the possible threat from Japanese-Canadians in Canada and the opinions of various people, the difference between fact and opinion.  

✓ I now understand and can appreciate diverse perspectives on issues and can resolve problems effectively and responsibly.

               

 

                 

                

             

                 

Non-Linear and Linear Equations

Non-Linear Equations

Example 1:

Y = 2ˣ

This is a non-linear equation. I can tell from the graph because the graph is not a straight line and it curves. I can tell from the equation because it has an ‘x’ as an exponent and it does not follow the ‘y = mx + b’ format.

Example 2:

Y = √x

This is a non-linear equation. I can tell from the graph because it is not a straight line and it curves. I can tell from the equation because it has a ‘√’ (square root symbol) and it does not follow the ‘y = mx + b’ format.

Linear Equations

Example 3:

2x – 3y = 12

This is a linear equation. I can tell from the graph because it is only marked on 2 points and visually looks straight. I can tell from the equation because it does not have any exponent symbols and square root symbols and it does follow the ‘y = mx + b’ format.

Example 4:

X = 4

This is a linear equation. I can tell from the graph because it is only marked on 1 point and visually looks straight. I can tell from the equation because it does not have any exponent symbols and square root symbols and it only marks ‘x’ as ‘4’

Self Assessment

I explored mathematical ideas using technology using the Desmos website I was given through teams.

I analyzed data and used criteria to draw conclusions when I inputed 4 equations to show them visually in the Desmos website.

I justified my conclusions with evidence when I gave an explanation for each equation explaining why it is linear or non-linear.
