Facing a Challenge

Image of Solved Problem

The first time I tried this problem I found it challenging because I wasn’t able to figure out how I could multiply two radical expressions as I didn’t realize that when multiplying radical expressions with more than one term, you would need to use the foil method, were you multiply term by term. Furthermore, the first time I tried it I just multiplied the first term by the first term and the last term by the last term. Therefore, the strategy I used to help me figure out the problem, was to go through one note and revise all the notes within that unit, in order for me to find the steps needed to solve the problem. At last, the concept I needed to solve the problem was FOIL, therefore, I must make sure to keep in mind that I use FOIL whenever I am multiplying radical expressions.

In Conclusion, the next time I encounter a complex problem, I will go through all my notes so that I can carefully revise and understand all the steps needed to solve the problem.

My Learning of CPR

“https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NbqVvcIbbkY/maxresdefault.jpg”

Something that I learned in which I hadn’t considered before would be the risks of CPR as you could break someone’s rib when performing it. One key takeaway from the practical CPR unit is to show us how to act properly when seeing a person with a stroke, heart attack, choking…etc. Finally, this unit also connects to the previous nutrition unit because in order for us to know to not have any of the risk factors, we would need to have a balanced diet.

Core Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen in… times when I was assessing responsiveness and making sure everyone was clear of the body during the AED.

One of the ways I can see using this learning to help others is… by educating and awaring the people from the dangers and the risk factors of strokes and heart attacks, in order for them to be careful and be wise of their diet.

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I… try/attempt introducing myself to the group and have them introduce themselves so that we could get along quicker.

Word Problem

15 year old Judy recently started babysitting her aunts two 3 year olds. her Aunt had also promised to give her an additional amount of money as a reward for her hard work. Therefore, on her first week of babysitting, she worked for 4 hours on Tuesday and got 74 dollars, and on Thursday she worked for 6 hours and got $106. How much does Judy earn per an hour?

what is the additional amount that her aunt gives her as a reward at the end of every shift?

How much would Judy earn if she worked for 8 hours?

Self Assessment:

Creative Thinking:

The word Problem I made was inspired from our ”Mathematics” workbook within the ”linear equation word problems” section, as they had some really good examples that asked for both the rate of change and a constant. However, for the image I picked, I got it off of google by typing ”two 3 year olds”, as my word problem is about babysitting two 3 year olds.

Critical Thinking:

In order to make sure my numbers for Judys wage were realistic, I reasearched the hourly pay for babysitting two 3 year olds and got ”$15.75”, therefore I rounded it up to make it ”$16”. Furthermore, to make sure my calculations for the word problem would work out, i tried solving the word problem myself, and then asked a friend to try and solve it, to make sure the numbers were truly correct.

Curricular Response

I think this paraqraph does really well on covering why and how Timmy belogs to the society of youth. I say this because i have explained/argued alot about how Timmy treats/sees zombies based on how he treats fido and how the society of old treats Zombies. within the paragraph I talked about Timmys personality towards zombies, such as how inclusive, kind and loyal he is. in which helped show the differneces between the two societies.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

What is one aspect of your writing that you still need to work on and how might you get help or improve in this particular area?

one aspect that i think i need to improve/work on is run on sentences, as this is a mistake i make on most of my writings. this is a problem that i have been struggling with ever since last year, and my teachers have been pointin it out to me alot. this has also caused my grades to go lower/down, as writin is a big deal in english, so if i dont resolve this problem anytime soon, my grades will probably go even lower. i could help myself to get rid of run on sentences by asking my teacher for ways/strateies to help prevent it.

I make an effort to include missing voices/ perspectives by… always making sure that everyone within the group has said someting. I can do this by dividin all the work and speaking, so that everyone can have a share or task in what we are doing in the group, as everyone will be havin his turn to speak and will have to contribute some work to the group, in which will always keep the group in touch and active.

Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include… always making sure to know everyones’ strengths and stretches, so that we can give people the tasks that they prefer and are best at, and give what they are leats good at to someone else. this will help our group alot as we would be working more efficently and more quickly if we all are doing the things that we enjoy doing the most and have the most experince at.

If I notice …, that’s a sign that my group needs help and we can get support by…

If I notice that… one of our group members is not doing their work or their task that’s a sign that my group needs help and we can get support by… all coming together and ask eachother if we need help with anything like needing help with understanding the question or needing ideas of what to do. Another way that we can get support is by asking the teacher for whatever we are struggling with, or whatever we are unsure about, as the teacher knows best.

Artifact

This is mine and my partner’s biome project

Explanation

Collaboration

In the biome project we had to pick partners to help with finishing and presenting the project. During the project we had to assign different roles and responsibilities for each partner to do. we had to split the project into 2 parts, one part included the abiotic factors, the climate and the specific animal, while the other part included the map, the biotic factors and the food web. I chose to work on the first part while my partner chose to work on the other power point and did part. Me and my partner did both of our presentation and communication on PowerPoint because It was easier than having multiple platforms for several different things. If I were to do this project again I would have probably given more time to exercise on presenting, because me and my partner sort of struggled with communicating during the presentation.

My Story

Core Competency Reflection

Creative Thinking Prompts

Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are adding more descriptive pieces to my story, so that It could add more details to my writing in order for it to be longer, and also so that the reader can feel and fully experience what i am writing.

I am so curious about what I have in my head that I am excited to learn more about how I could try to add more pieces to my writing, so that the reader can go through the adventure of my story.

When it seems the good ideas just won’t come to me, I try to reset mybthoughts walk or take a break to help calm myself or create space in my mind to refresh my head and start with a new thought or idea.

My Goal

My goal is to learn how to develop my poems in a more specific and descriptive way, usin only my thoughts, or my brainstorming ideas.

Script

Following Script format

I followed the format and model of my script, by having all the margins lined up equally, using the ruler on the document to have them all lined up. I also followed the model of the script by having everything that shows the expressions in the story written in Italics, i also made sure that they were all lined up and more on the right side of the text, so that you could tell the difference between it and the actual text of the story. Another thing that i did to follow the model, was having all the people’s names’ who are talking, have all capital letters. Finally, one last thing that i did to follow the model was having my name and the date on the right side of the page, i did this by using the ruler and having the line start all the way on the right side.

Core Competency Reflection – Collaboration

“I can encourage others to share their voices and value diverse perspectives”

I chose this one because i demonstarted this in my work, as i encouraged my partner to help me with what words we should use, and how the characters should speak, to make our script more modern.

“I can work with others to achieve a goal.”

I chose this one because i used this skill to finish the Script assignment, as i worked with a classmate member whom i worked really hard with, to change the story into a more modern one, by changing the way the character talk and also changing the words the characters used to speak.

“I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share”

I chose this one because i used it in my work, as me and my partner had split the work amongst ourselves and trusted eachother to do our own share on the assignment, and so i decided to be responsible and do my part of the story that I had to change into a modern one, so that we could be able to finish on time, and
