Slope/rate of change
1. What does the slope of a line represent?
1. What does the slope of a line represent?
If the slope is positive or negative.
2. How do you find the slope of a line given the equation? Given the graph?
2. How do you find the slope of a line given the equation? Given the graph?
Find the change of y divided by the change in x, on a graph you would draw the slope in the angle of y is always above y.
3. Why can slope be interpreted as a rate of change?
On a graph, the steepness of the slope shows how fast something is increasing(rate of change).
x and y intercepts
4. How does identifying the x and y-intercepts of a linear equation help you graph the line?
Labeling the points of the x and y intercepts make it easier to graph the line because the line goes between both points.
Slope intercept form
5. Why is the equation y=mx+b referred to as the slope intercept form of a linear equation?

Slope intercept form
5. Why is the equation y=mx+b referred to as the slope intercept form of a linear equation?
Because b will always equal the y intercept and m will always equal slope.
6. How do you graph linear equations given in slope-intercept form?
Find the y intercept and then graph it and then find the slope; y/x = rise/run.
7. How do YOU determine which method is best to graph with comparing the 3 methods studied?
Point-slope, because i understand this method the best.
Translations
8. Come up with a set of three functions that would be considered a family of functions. Explain.

9. How is the graph of f(x) = x related to the graph of h(x) = -2x-3?
f of x
10. How can changes in slope affect a graph?
10. How can changes in slope affect a graph?
As the slope increases, the line begins to get more vertical.
11. How can changes in the y-intercept affect a graph?
It will affect the height of the line on the y axis.

VIRUS PROJECT
12. What are all of the things that you learned mathematically about during the Create your own Virus Project? I learned how to make a point on a graph into an equation.

VIRUS PROJECT
12. What are all of the things that you learned mathematically about during the Create your own Virus Project? I learned how to make a point on a graph into an equation.
13. What did you learn about yourself during the project? (need to ask more questions, take better notes, utilize time....etc.....) I definately need to pay more attention while am taking notes so the notes work to my advantage and are able help me with later assignments like intended.
13. What was challenging about the VIRUS project for you? it was easy to come up with a design, the hardest part was trying to figure out how to make the points into equations.
14. Looking at your creativity level, what would your rate yourself on a
scale of 1-10? 8
15. Looking at your mathematics learned and achieved, what grade would you give yourself from A - Z?
Could possibly be a G.
DISASTER AMONGST US
16. How can creating functions from 2 pieces of data help us in a real world situation?
It would help to compare and contrast the data and the outcomes.
17. What world problem did you focus on when creating your function?
17. What world problem did you focus on when creating your function?
Tsunami
18. How can knowing YOUR function, help researchers in predicting or fixing the disaster in the future?
Help people know how much time they have to escape from an expected tsunami.
NOTES
19. How will collaborating on notes help with your mathematics now, for projects, and for classwork?

NOTES
19. How will collaborating on notes help with your mathematics now, for projects, and for classwork?
It will be something to look back on and give me a reminder of how to solve the problem.
20. How can you create the notes so that they can be used in different courses?
20. How can you create the notes so that they can be used in different courses?
Graph out many equations which would help with science.
21. What are you going to focus on to make sure that they are notes that work for you? I'm going to focus on making sure i point on the steps i make to solving the equation/problem. That way i won't forget how i came to my conclusion.

Jordan,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great reflection. It seems you had a little trouble with the families of lines. If ever you don't know something, google it.:0)
It seems like we need to get your "G" up to an "A". I also hope that you heed your own advice and take the notes that you know you need and stay focused.
