By doing…in the classroom, I make a positive difference to my peers. When we’re doing group math, and someone in my group is stuck on a step, or doesn’t know how to do the question. I try to help them by suggesting to them how to do the question.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I… When I’m stuck on my math homework, I try to take a break so I can re-focus and boost my mood so I’m ready to start working towards trying to solve the difficult problem in a positive manner.

An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is… Parabolas. We worked on parabolas for a long time because they were all connected throughout units 3, 4, and 5.

To celebrate an accomplishment such as ____, I … To celebrate an accomplishment such as good test marks, or solving a difficult question. I try to reward myself with a break, to refresh.

Kinematic Equations

Curricular Response

  1. Kinematics 1D 

The ideas from Kin 1D to 2D, builds on each other. Starting in 1D, we have the basic v = d/t, which then evolves into 3 big Kinematics equations that become prominent even in the later units.

  1. Kinematics 2D 

Core Competency Reflecting and Assessing

How did you approach trying to answer the above question? I approached it by trying to remember what connections I can make between the two similar units.

Does seeing these connections make you more confident in our scientific understanding of reality? Does it change or reinforce your confidence in science as a superior way of determining truth? Yes because I am able to understand things such as how velocity, distance, and time are related together. The theory also helps reinforce these ideas, because they explain how it works too.

Explanation:

Thinking

I used creative thinking in this assignment by collaborating with others in my group so we can share ideas that we thought of by critically thinking. We were able to build on each other’s ideas to make new and improved better ones. Although we didn’t meet the required time, I think with more practice, and or more information we could have made it.

Communication

I also used communication by talking to the audience while presenting, I could have improved my section of the presentation if I looked up and maybe had practiced my lines more so that I would be able to saw it flawlessly.
