CORE COMPETENCY SELF-ASSESSMENT

My Artifact

Reflection:

I can take on responsibilities in a group and work effectively in a group to achieve a goal. I worked with my group partners to gather and set up all the needed equipment. I also helped with the final set measurements of the liquid base into the acid to accurately get the correct colour solution.

TRANSFORMING PARABOLAS

Parent Function: (Red): y = x^2

My Function (Orange): y = 3(x – 4)^2 + 2

A, H, & K

Significance of A is to stretch or compress the parabola. If A is a larger number, then it will be compressed, but if A is a smaller number, like a fraction, it will be stretched and be wider on the graph. H determines whether the parabola is shifted up or down. The H in my equation has a value of 4 so it will be moved up 4. And finally, K is used to determine if the parabola is moved to the right or left of the origin. K can have negative or positive values to move the parabola to the left or right from 0.  

1. Give an example from this assignment where you represented the same mathematical idea in multiple ways? I represented a mathematical idea in multiple ways by describing how “a” would affect any parabola, then explaining how it affected my parabola.  

2. Give an example from this assignment where you used mathematical vocabulary to demonstrate your understanding. In this assignment I used mathematical vocabulary to explain how “a”, “h”, and “k” affect1 the parabola. 

3. Give an example from this assignment where you used formatting to share the information in a clear and organized way. I used formatting to cleanly show the image of my parabola on a graph, my 2 functions, and the explanations of “a”, “h”, and “k”.

Critical and Reflective Thinking

Paragraph: Should our criminal justice system be more punitive or rehabilitative?

I think that our system should be both punitive and rehabilitative. Because with a system that combines the two, punitive and rehabilitative, it will have a better range of punishments fit for different severities of crimes. With a more punitive system, it would be more focused on punishing people, whether or not they are serious crimes. So, you could be punished harshly for doing something as minor as trespassing or impaired driving. With a rehabilitative system, it would focus more on making amends for the wrongdoings. Which is not a bad way to run a justice system, but it just will not always give fair punishment. If the justice system is focused on rehabilitation of the offenders, then someone who has committed a crime like homicide or armed robbery would get a lighter sentence compared to if it was a punitive system. For example, a crime like homicide would only receive jail time and community service or something like that. Instead of receiving a fair punishment for a crime such as taking someone’s life.  

Facing a Challenge (Pre-Cal 11)

QUESTIONS:

The first time I tried this problem I found it challenging because it took a while to expand and square all the components. I doubted myself a few times cause of the high numbers but trusted the process and saw it through.

The mistake I made when I first did this problem was I did not fully factor the squared binomials, so I had to go back and redo them.

Some strategies I used to help me solve this problem: I looked at similar problems to see the steps involved to solve them and applied them to this problem.

Some concepts and skills I needed to remember in order to solve this problem were squaring binomials, adding, subtracting, and squaring both sides of the equals sign at the same time.

Next time I encounter a difficult problem, I might try to find the restrictions for x first, then put everything I can onto one side of the equals sign, and square all the terms to get rid of the radicals. Then I will double check my answers as I go to make sure they make sense.

PRE-Cal 11 Core Competency Self-Assessment

Core Competency Reflection

Learning and using Math vocabulary: I learned new math vocabulary in each chapter and did my best to incorperate it in tests and group work. I used the vocab to better explain questions and how I got to solutions.

Working collaboratively with others: I worked well in groups with both board work, and helping my table members. I participated in group practice questions and helped the others when they didn;t undertand the question or how to get to the answer.

Advice for future students

Don’t let chapter 1 scare you in the beginning

Ask for help from the teacher and your group members

Don’t be worried about asking for a re-test to up your mark

Prey that the tests are on Fridays

Drafting Design 11 Self Reflection

One project that I found to be a bit difficult was the cabinet assignment. I was tasked with creating a 3D design of a cabinet in Fusion360, and then making drawings with dimensions in AutoCAD. It can sometimes be difficult to create plans for a 3D object, and communicate the dimensions of that object well. I had no problem with the 3D design, except for getting all the components to work. The hardest part for me was making the dimensions in AutoCAD. While drawing the cabinet in 2D had a few difficulties like making everything scale correctly and lineup, the dimensions was the most difficult part because I had to make sure I didn’t over-dimension. In the end, I was able to place all the correct dimensions and communicate what the cabinet is going to look like.

I can analyze evidence from different perspectives. (THINKING)

I can usually make my ideas work within the constraints of a given form, problem, and materials if I keep playing with them. (THINKING)

I can present information in a way that is clear and organized. (COMMUNICATING)

Facing A Challenge

Workbook Questions: Chapter 1.7

Questions:

  • The first time I tried this problem I found it challenging because it took a long time to do the equation and all the extraneous solutions to get the right answer. I also did not isolate the variable on one side of the equals sign, then square everything the first time I did this.
  • The mistake I made when I first did this problem was I did not square the binomial correctly, I also forgot to square the product on both sides of the equals sign at the same time. I also did forgot to keep isolating the radical, which is important to get the correct answer.
  • Some strategies I used to help me solve this problem: I asked for help to point me in the right direction to figure out how to solve the problem. I also used the answer key and worked backwards to find the correct solution.
  • Some concepts and skills I needed to remember in order to solve this problem were squaring binomials, adding, subtracting, and squaring both sides of the equals sign at the same time.
  • Next time I encounter a difficult problem, I might try to read find the restrictions for x first,then put everything I can onto one side of the equals sign, and square all the terms to get rid of the radicals. Then I can start squaring, subtracting terms, and isolating the variable, and solving for x.

Chemistry 11 – Titration Lab

Questions:

What is a titration? – A titration is a process to determine the concentration or molarity of a solution.

What was a titration used for in this lab? – In this lab, we used a titration to find the molarity of Hydrocholoric Acid (HCL).

What is the end point (or equivalence point) of a titration? –

How do you know you have reached the end point of a titration? –

What were your results? – 0.152M HCL OR 0.152 moles/litre HCL

Core Competency Self Assessment

I used to communication core competency the most on this lab. Communication was important for this lab because we had to communicate the required supplies and setup, the correct volume and measurements, and the amounts of the components and liquids being added together.

About The Skit

In this chapter, our main project was to create a skit with 2 or more people, about ordering food at a restaurant. Me and my partner started drafting ideas and even had voice chats to find what works with the skit. We found a way for us to make the skit include as much vocab as we could, and still be funny and enjoyable. My partner also came up with an easy way for him to play more than one character. He simply put on a hat when he was a customer, and took off the hat when he was the waiter. We had a good time presenting it to the teacher and I think she enjoyed watching it as much as we did making.
