Math 10 Core Competency

Core Competency

I recognize that listening contributes to my understanding in these ways. Listening to other’s opinions could help me figure out my mistakes. When I couldn’t find my mistake after doing a math question, I would ask my parents and they would help me by telling me how they would solve the problem and where I might have gone wrong. Their different perspectives on the problem often make me see things in a new way, which helps me learn and avoid repeating the same errors. In addition, listening to my teachers and classmates on how they would approach the question and solutions also help me expand my own thinking and problem-solving skills. In math class, I work with others to achieve a goal. When our teacher assigns us homework, I would work with my classmates and help each other out. After finishing the homework assigned, I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. Since math isn’t something I dominate in, I feel proud that I finished it and understand the concepts that I’ve learned. I take pride in my work and myself.

Scientific Method Self Assessment

Artifacts

Golf Tower Challenge
Egg Dropper

Curricular Response

When building the Golf Tower and Egg Dropper, it improved my understanding of the Scientific method process. I had done all the steps in the Scientific method when I built both of the lab projects. I first wrote a hypothesis, then designed and experiment my project. Second, I collected all of the data from my experience. After I analyzed the data, I made a conclusion. It has helped me understand the Scientific method better since I have done it more than once.

Core Competency Self Assessment and Creative Thinking

There was a lot of problems and challenges while making the tower and the egg dropper. However, I am most proud of the Golf Tower Challenge. I’ve made the golf tower up to 7’5″, really close to the highest record which is 7’10”. The material which I use was the newspaper, it kept bending and the tape started to become not sticky. As I built higher, the golf tower would start to tilt whenever I put the golf ball on top. For the egg dropper, the egg wasn’t fitting inside of my design and I got a bit frustrated, I had to be more creative and find more space to be able to shove it in. By doing these projects, it has given me a better understanding of the scientific method process. At the start, I thought of many prototypes that would be the best for my project. After I deicide which prototype to use, I thought I would avoid all the problems that would have happened. In reality though, it kept collapsing and breaking down. I have to keep rethinking of a solution and troubleshooting until I got a result that I’m satisfied with. I demonstrated how to create new things when I draw the 6 prototype diagrams. I demonstrated that I could build on the ideas of others when I collaborate with my partner and found an idea that would work the best for us. When trying new things, I expect setbacks and failure and use them to develop my ideas. An example of this from the scientific method labs would be making the egg dropper and golf tower and testing it out.
