Facing a Challenge

The first time I tried this problem I found it challenging because I was confused as to what to do with the x squared. The first mistake I made was trying to put both sides of the equation back into the radical. There was a question just like it in group work, however it wasn’t my turn with the pen and I was just watching and observing. When I got to this workbook question I realized this was like a group work question and went back and remembered the strategy my group members came up with. I used the zero product property rule all the way back in 1.2, and factoring. I really enjoyed solving this problem because it showed how important factoring is, and how we can apply it into more complex problems. Next time I encounter a problem I will look through the notes and examples more.I try and use the examples almost as if they were a formula that I can “cut and paste” into any problem.

Curricular Competencies Reflection

In this course I really challenged my communication skills through public speaking, visual presentations, and writing. I always tried to make my paragraphs as perfect as can be, by planing my ideas and having a production plan before I started my final copy. In this assignment specifically I demonstrated connection skills to ads we’ve seen in the past, and comprehension from the Hunger Games book to show our true understanding.

Core Competencies Reflection

Creative Thinking: Others find my feedback useful because I provide a new solution rather than shutting others ideas down. One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is having all ideas infant of me to work around and expand on. An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is adding colours and new fonts to there advertising technique.
