Communication Core Competency

Posted on by Nolan
Eggs Benedict

My eggs Benedict lab relates to the core competency “communication” as not only does it reflect communication, but also collaboration between my partner and I. The eggs Benedict lab reflects communication in many different ways. One example of communication during this lab was when we asked each other questions and get a detailed and informative responses. One of the questions that could be asked for example are “should I put this in yet?” Or “did you already put this ingredient in?” These may sound like simple questions but sometimes they could be the difference between success and failure. This lab reflects collaboration in many different ways as well. One example of collaboration in this lab is my partner and I had two different roles and were working to the best of our abilities to succeed at both of them. What I mean by this is one of us went and got the ingredients for the eggs Benedict, and the other one stayed in the kitchen and got everything ready for when we started cooking.

My Parabola

Red: Original, Blue: My Parabola

My equation for my parabola in this assignment, y = 3(x+4)^2 + 5, is compared to the original parabolas equation of y = x^2 in the photo above. A, H, and K are the reasons the two parabolas are different, as my A is 3, making it a skinny parabola compared to the original as it is being stretched 3 units vertically. Another example of this is the H, as my parabolas horizontal shift is -4 compared to the original parabolas 0 on the x axis. Finally, the K is the difference in the parabolas vertical shift, in this case, my parabola has a vertical shift of 5, where as the original parabola is at 0. These shifts cause the vertex to change from (0,0) to (-4,5).

Self-Assessment

  1. I represented three different mathematical ideas by communicating my understanding of All three of A, H, and K.
  2. I used mathematical vocabulary throughout this paragraph, by talking about the vertex, the horizontal shift, and the vertical shift.
  3. I used formatting to share the information in a clear and organized way by changing the theme of my edublog and writing in neat paragraphs.
