During this course, I learned multiple useful strategies and new concepts, that would help me through my journey in the mathematical world. I would focus on the ladder method. This was the first time I was introduced to such a thing, and I found it very handy when looking for the LCM, of two or more numbers. The ladder method consists of the following. You put all the numbers that you are looking for their LCM, on one side. then you divide each by the larger common factor (you may have to repeat this step many times). Secondly, you would multiply all the factors you divided the number by, with the last two digits that can’t be reduced to anything simpler than they already are. The result of those will be the LCM, of the numbers you were looking for.

Regarding my unit test, I feel confident. I think I was able to fully show what I know. I may have made some small mistakes, but in general, I know how to proceed with each situation. On the other hand, I have been doing my homework, participating in class, and asking questions when needed, so I can say, I’m comfortable with the topic discussed during this unit.
