Self Reflection: Math I
This first half of the semester I was taught how to categorize patterns based on information in tables graphs and rules. I used tables, graphs and symbolic rules to solve problems. I was taught how to write linear functions using information from tables, graphs and problem situations, I learned how to master this goal by using NOW-NEXT rules. This half semester I was taught how to rewrite linear expressions in equivalent forms algebraically. I can set up and solve systems involving two linear equations with two variables algebraically using the methods of graphing, substitution, and by elimination. I can differ between systems with one solution, No solution, or infinitely many solutions, while also determining …show more content…
While I like working with my peers I have learned that not everyone shares the same learning style or learning pace which has been a conflict with working in groups. I believe that working with others at a young age later in life will help us set a standard for further communication with people of higher standard. Learning with different people now helps us learn how to communicate with different people in the world as not everyone has the same perspective or thinking process as you. The grading system is very different and hard to adjust to but has many good reasons as to why it is used . My favorite part of this grading system is the fact that it is a just and fair way to grade students , this grading system gives students time to learn goals without if affecting our grade only because we don't learn a concept faster than others. The reason I don't like this system is not having a number to base your grade as , it not a big problem but it does change the way grades are seen. I think the investigations are clear and help relate to real world situations, the requirement to explain investigations are related to the topic and they help trigger critical thinking skills and the justification process helps you master the concept as you explain how the problem can be solved and why it is solved in that particular

Cartesian's Foundation On Metaphysics And Epistemological Thinking

Self-conscious thinking was considered the essences of the mind. We acquire knowledge by meditating on innate ideas of God, mind, and matter. The theory of dualism of mind and matter presents a problem regarding knowledge and interaction. Since mind and matter are very different, the body triggers the mind to have sensible ideas. Descartes theory is connected to mathematics. He established an analytic system of problem solving such as…

The Use Of Evidence

persuades our challenger (i.e., we hope that our rhetoric is up to the task), but, more importantly, we hope that our evidence really justifies our opinion. It is striking, though, how different branches of knowledge — the humanities, the sciences, mathematics — justify their findings so very differently; they have, one might say, quite incommensurate rules of evidence. Often a shift of emphasis, or framing, of one of these disciplines goes along with, or derives from, a change of these rules, or of the…

characters. Narcissism comes from Narcissus, the son of Liriope and the river god Cephisus, who was prophesied to live a long life only if he didn’t see his own reflection.

This is why those who are determined to be narcissistic are self-absorbed, arrogant, selfish people, which some of the masses know nothing about. The character and word Atlas is an example of how greek mythology affected…
