Transforming Parabolas

Paragraph

A,H, and K all uniquely affect the parabola. The A value effects which way the parabola opens along with how wide the parabola is. For my green parabola the A value is negative which means it opens downward. In my blue parabola the A value is a fraction which makes it open up a lot wider than the parent function (red parabola). The H value determines the horizontal displacement of the vertex. That means that it dictates where the parabola is placed from side to side. The H value is always negative so when building a quadratic equation using the vertex… EX (9,2) You must flip the X value when you plug it into the equation as H. So (9,2) becomes y=a(x-9)*+2. The H value also determines the axis of symmetry. My purple parabola has an H value of -2 which is why it is 2 to the right of the parent function. The K value is by far the simplest, it is the Y value of the vertex. This means the K value (and the A value) determine whether or not the parabola has x intercepts. For instance if you have a vertex of (9,2) your K value would be +2. So when putting it into an equation it will look like this y=a(x-9)*+2. For example my black parabola has a K value of -2 so it is placed 2 down from the parent function.

Core competencies

1. How did you represent the same mathematical idea in multiple ways in this assignment?

During this assignment I found ways to talk about the equation by referring to the parabola, writing the equation and describing how it would effect the outcome. I also referenced many different parabolas with different values and characteristics.

2. State some of the relevant mathematical vocabulary words you used to demonstrate your understanding.

Parent function, Vertex, quadratic equation, displacement, axis of symmetry, x intercepts.

3. How did you use formatting to share your information in a clear and organized way?

I have one photo for my graph and one photo for my equations. One paragraph for my information and then my reflection. I clearly ran through all of my information and displayed my knowledge and moved onto the next topic.

In this assignment we had to create a short story, I think this is a good example of my “create and communicate core competencies”. This story relates to indigenous principles because in indigenous culture and teachings greed and dishonesty trigger bad karma. Learning from experiences and getting what your actions deserve is a common theme in indigenous learning. I believe indigenous principles are very important and the way they teach is one of the best ways to teach the up and coming generations. Reconciliation can be worked towards in may ways and awareness is one of the best ways in my opinion. Learning why the culture and teachings are just as important is huge for the preservation of the indigenous culture in Canada. Learning about how there are small elements of indigenous learning in all of life will work towards a greater understanding of there culture.

Creative thinking core competency.

Creating a story is not an easy task, even a short story. It took a bit of thinking at the beginning to get inspired and figure out what I was going to do. Taking all of your ideas and working them into a short story is no small task. I put a lot of effort into taking this story and giving it indigenous principles and teachings, learning through challenges and experiences is something I think is prevalent in indigenous teachings.

Rainy days

The smell of fresh rain fills the air. Dark clouds role overhead, No visible light in the sky. Underneath the thunder and rain there’s a peace. An uncertain calm that comes with the rain. A smooth refreshing silence as the rain blocks out all noise. Standing in the rain not caring if You get wet, not caring what happens next. You feel every drop land on your skin.

Core competency

I deliberately learn about things that interest me, and new ideas pop into my head.

Collaboration

For this lab we had to work in groups and measure current through a circuit when adding light bulbs and gradually upping the voltage. Everyone in my group put in an effort to contribute, whether is was measuring the current, turning up the voltage, attaching the light bulbs or even just cleaning up the work space afterward. Once we all established roles we stuck too it, working smoothly as a team to complete the task.

Making and Sharing Reflecting.

Making

I use food materials in ways that minimize waste. I always use the majority of the vegetable and use all of the spices and seasoning to maximize flavour in the recipe. I’m not shy when it comes to ingredients, I always pick the biggest union or the most garlic. I never waste little bits of food.

Sharing

I assess my ability to work effectively with individuals and collaboratively. Working in groups in one of my strong suites. I thrive when my group and I can work together and get the job done.

Core competency reflection

Examples where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my finishing product and my teams-manship with my group members.

If there is a disagreement within the group, I find it helpful too talk as a group and quickly workout an answer to our problem. Making sure everybody is happy with the final product is crucial.

I know the group is working well when I see, people helping each other and working collaboratively. When our table group is communicating and working things out quickly and efficiently you can tell we are working well.

One goal

I show that I value feedback from others in my group. Sometimes I don’t show that I value outside opinions and maybe I have to show that it effects my work that I do. Especially when my partner feels strongly about something.

Making and Sharing Reflection

My group members and I worked very well together when it came to execution and final product. We all finished around the same time and we all worked smoothly with each other in the kitchen. We adjusted the flavouring and some of the spices when needed to meet our taste requirements. We also presented well as a whole and worked together getting ingredients whenever we could, oiling each others pans whenever they needed it as well. We all knew what tasks we excelled in and those we the tasks that we decided for each other. Criticizing people when they weren’t doing something correct is a big part of it as well. Letting your group members know that they are doing something wrong is healthy and helpful If you want to do something to your best ability.

Core Competency Reflection

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to talk all the time. communication is amazing, knowing what your group members are doing is very good for your timing as a whole and your timing as an individual. Some things I think about before dividing tasks among the group members include what peoples individual skills are, and what people maybe don’t excel in. if somebody isn’t very good at chopping maybe hand that task off to there partner or trade for something that they excel at. I show that I value feedback in my group by giving feedback whenever I can, as well as positively receiving feedback from my group members. Now that we are with our new groups a goal I have would just be to work extremely well with all of my new group members and figure out what we each excel at.
