The part of chapter 1 that I am most comfortable with is factoring I think it is the easiest to do for me overall since there are many ways to make the questions easier (perfect squares , difference of squares ,GCF and LCM)
The most difficult part of chapter one for me was solving while radical equations I think I have the basics down but sometimes when solving I do some wrong steps and I mess up the whole equation .
I usually learn new material best when I am working with a group of people who are on a similar level with me since we can all work together to understand when we are struggling.
I plan to prepare for the unit test by doing the chapter 1.8 review the workbook and some extra questions for the actual workbook chapters.
I have already done all the math practice worksheets as well as all the workbook questions that were assigned.
The statement to me means that even when faced with challenges that might be difficult for me at the time I can alter my learning and attitude toward those problems to solve them to the best of my ability with full explanations.
I demonstrated my critical and reflexive thinking in this lab by exploring outside of what i know about sushi normally and expanding upon that by judging this on its own before comparing it to other sushi i have had. I was able to ask myself questions about what made this different and also similar to other sushi i have had, while being able to judge if i liked it or if i didn’t. I also used what i have previously learned working as a sushi chef to make my roll and compare to what i made in restaurant and explore the different flavors.
This was during my Mac and cheese foods lab I’m proud of how well me and my group worked together during the lab itself and how much effort I put in on completely the lab questions on our recipes.
Communication
I can represent my learning and tell how it connects to my experiences.
I showed this in many of my food labs but I personally think I did it the most in the Mac and cheese lab in my work book. it has the most information written into it and I felt like I went more in depth for the questions on the back. but other then that I felt like me and my groups communication was on point and we were very organized and everyone was talking and it helped us connect and finish all of our tasks on time.
I can form new ideas to create new things i can also build on the ideas of others. While i didn’t work with someone else i still built on my ideas to create and present a whole comic strip conveying my ideas to readers.
I can develop a body of creative work overtime. I showed this by taking my script of words and turning it into photos that can be used to help tell my story.
I can persevere over time to develop my ideas and i expect setbacks and failure but use that to develop my ideas. I showed this while i didn’t include it, over time i showed how i changed my script on my rough drafts so i could find a proper script for the conditions.
I prepare for a test by reviewing the previous material and looking it over I would say that this isn’t really working for me due to my lack of understanding and that I don’t study constantly weekly there is some changes I can think of such as completing my homework first before anything else, making sure I do all the homework and A bit extra to make sure I understand everything and last to study at least 2 weeks before a test every night for at least 30 minutes to a hour
I would say that my strength in group work would have to be my ability to listen
Explain the concept (if I also understand it ) i use this to contribute by explaining it in simple and easy terms for my group mates and also listening out for what they have to share with me .
For me I think that being disciplined in math means to be willing to go out of your way to ask for help if you need it or helping others out when they are struggling, it also means that you understand the work given to you and do all the work when you get it. I think you would show that you are disciplined in math by being able to understand the material and doing questions on your own time to better yourself for future lessons so that you are prepared.
I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share. The way i can connect this to the core competency i have chosen is that during the chemical reaction’s lab, we had a short amount of time to do a lot of different reactions so to make it go faster me and my partner each had roles to make sure we can get all our information. I was in charge of putting in the different chemicals and checking how acidic or how basic it is while my partner wrote down all the information and told me what we needed to put next and with us splitting the roles like this we almost finished the whole lab in the one class.
a) What was something you learned that you didn’t know or consider before?
Something I learned was how being able to take action when its needed is very important and could help to save someone’s life and all i need to remember is that (I’ve been trained i can do this)
b) What is a key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit
For me it would be the denial or fear someone might feel when they could be a potential victim of a heart attack or stroke which is bad since if you are hiding it i can be trouble later on if other people don’t know or you don’t talk to a doctor about it.
c) How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously?
It connects since the nutrition unit showed us what to eat to have a higher chance of avoiding a heart attack or stroke with good food sources and proper diets along with exercise.
Core Competency Reflection
For the Core competency reflection i chose 3 that highlight me the most
When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I try to be as open and friendly as possible so that we can work together to complete the common goal or task that we have to do.
I can describe how learning about CPR relates to my life, it relates to my life since my grandpa has a history of having heart attacks and in the case that he needs help i can be there to help him and hopefully save his life thanks to this lesson we did on CPR.
One of the ways I can see using this learning to help others is to pass it onto future generations of family i know so that they can learn to save someone’s life if they need it or to physically save someone when they are having a heart attack.
For me this represents me personally since it shows everything i enjoy and all the skills i have with my future plans with my values so that people can learn more about me.
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include. Posting stuff that has no negative effect on my real life, not being a jerk online to random people only sarcastically to friends, And talking and getting to know people online.
I know that my digital footprint can have both negative and positive consequences, so i adjust my actions to. Making sure what i post or say is not something that can be harmful to my future learning or job interviews, and knowing that any negative actions i do online may harm me in the long run.
Some of the ways i work to build and maintain online relationships are, being able to connect and talk with them openly and frequently, asking how they might feel and listening to any problems they might have, and being able to comfort them in times of need.

Argentina is very different then Canada so I will talk about many different things such as traditions, sports, landmarks, holidays and music.
Canadian traditional food and drinks are more interesting for example we have poutines, maple syrup, and beaver tails. However Argentina has yerba mate a hot drink with herbs steeped in water, empanadas which is a meat and vegetable filling surrounded in dough, and milanesa which is breaded and fried chicken or beef.
The most popular sports in Canada are hockey then basketball and then soccer. But in Argentina it is futbol, polo and basketball.
Some most popular landmarks in Canada are visiting Niagara falls snowboarding or skiing in whistler or visiting the capilano suspension bridge. In Argentina it is the iguazu falls, Salinas grandes, and Tren a Las nubes.
Some holidays in Canada include Canada Day, Canadian Thanksgiving, and Remembrance day. For Argentina they have the 5 days of passover, carnival, and memorial day.
For music in Canada the most listened to types are pop, rock, country, and hip hop. Argentina’s is Cuban, Spanish, Slavic and Italian Folk music.
Lastly if i had the chance to visit i would for sure since there is so much to see and do with all the celebrations and such plus there are a lot of different foods and drinks i would love to try such as alfajores, empanadas and llama steak.
Core Competencies Reflection
I take on roles and responsibilities in a group i do my share. I did this in my group because my and my partner carefully went through everything that was needed and choose what we wanted to do and if we didnt do it in time for class we would work on it at home.
I can represent my learning and can tell how it connects to my experiences. I did this when i used all the information that me and my partner found to discuss about Argentina to the rest of the class.
I can identify my strengths and identify my potential. i did this when me and my partner discussed what we wanted to do and i said that doing a poster would be harder for us to do together which is a weakness and i know how to do PowerPoints which is a strength.
For a goal i want to be better being in a group with people i don’t know that well or at all since I can usually only work well in a group with at least one person i know and to help me get that goal I’m gonna try and be with people who i don’t talk to at all.
