Independent math #1

Q.What career or career field are you interested in?  Research your field and report on how math is important to you for your future and relates to the PoG Cs.

A. I am interested in a construction job specifically plumbing. I will need to know math very well because I will be dealing with the dimensions of rooms and pipelines. Also I will have to take measurements of different materials and sometimes I will have to calculate the measurements. Also completing more math will make me more competent to where I will know what im talking about so I dont seem like an idiot at work. I have done well in my math I think I will finish Math 10A this quarter.

Course Reflection:

      My reflection on independent math is very positive. I am proud of the fact that im about to get my 10A class done. The math was very hard and some topics towards the end are a lot harder than the ones in the beginning. This artifact connects with Critical thinking because the math is hard. I will definitely be using this skill in the future because I want to be a plumber when I grow up.

  1. What aspect of my artifact am I most proud of? Use specific examples.
    1. My rocket was aesthetically very cool and I am very proud of it. It had 3 fins which I thought looked nice. And we put dice in the top of the rocket so it would fly straighter so it didn’t hit the ground. 
  2. What aspect of creating this artifact was most difficult for me? Use specific examples.
    1. I thought the nose was the hardest part because we had to make it a cone so we needed two people. The dice was the weight in the cone so it could fly straight. The tape was placed around the nose to hold it steady.
  3. How does this artifact connect to the Profile of a Graduate? Be specific in your connection. (Question Stems)
    1. It relates to the Profile of a Graduate in the collaboration category because it was a very active moving class with partners. Every day I’d work with my buddies on the assignments. Even the slideshow I did with a partner. 
  4. How do I plan to take this learning forward? or What would I change if I created this artifact again?http://bit.ly/POG-Reflect
    1. I think this class went very well. I will plan to use what I learned in the next physics class I take. If I had to recreate this artifact again I would have done it exactly the same.
