Reflection 

 

At the beginning of this unit, I was really put off by the material I didn't feel as though it was challenging enough and I had seen very similar problems to it in the past. This made me rather closed off to the content that was being taught and I didn't really open up much to the class. however, this changed when we started talking more about partner work and the benefits of working on a team after that I stopped focusing on how I could help the people at my table better understand the content. This also translated over into other classes and really changed the way that I approach my learning. I feel as though the two areas that I grew in most when it comes to project work is the ability to communicate my thinking in more clear and concise ways so that other people could understand my thinking process. As well as also just the simple act of sharing my findings something that I often didn't do in math especially with people that weren't in my direct inner circle.

 

Overall I was proud of the work that I completed in this unit I practiced different ways to describe and show my work mainly through the application of Desmose. and im proud that i was able to get out of the typical mathematical representations and find new and creative ways to show my work. Doing this gave me the space to get more interested in the content and go deeper exploring it im my own uneque way. This is especially evident in the Desmos graphs that I have showcased below. also apreaceate that through the unit we were asked to relate this back to our own lives this made the content more relatable for me personally and I do believe that I've shown some of my better and more intresting mathematical work in this unit.
