Al‐Khwarizmi and Algebra.pdfThis is my math research project, One of the most interesting things that I learned about this math concept is how long ago Algebra was created and how it still impacts our daily life today.
This most challenging part of this project is the process of research on this person because almost all the sources about Al-Khwarizmi seems to have the same information about him. I overcame this challenge by asking the AI for some sources that tells a new story about this person.
I feel personally, I improved the most on explaining because since most of the information I got from sources states the same thing over and over again, I decided to change the method of completing this presentation by approaching it with better explanations that dive deeper into what this person actually does and how it effects others.
If I had more to complete this presentation, it would definitely be packed with more varieties of information about this person since there is more time given to me to dive deeper into this person's background.
I would say, I learned that math has a long history that stretches so far back in time just like how science has many concepts that lead far back in time.
Class
If some one else was looking at my work done in math class, they would notice that many of my algorithms written down would be extremely messy and lots of equations would clog up making it look the complete opposite of "neat".
One habit that I have when studying not just for math is to play some music on the side to help me stay focused and locked in. This ensures the completion of many homework assignments within a period of time.
Week 13 check-in
What evidence best shows your growth thus far?
Evidence that best shows my growth in this semster is being able to understand and use algorithms to solve a problem. During the begining, I had no idea what I was really doing in class when it came to solving problems but now I understood the fact that many problems in math is just understanding the algorithm.
Algebra Project
The hardest part of this project was choosing a realistic trip plan and making equations that matched real-world costs. Our model used the equation C = 14000 + 500x, with 14,000 NT in fixed costs and 500 NT per student. For 14 students, the total cost was 21,000 NT, or 1,500 NT per person. Math helped us check if our plan fit the 30,000 NT budget and showed that the maximum number of students was 32. If the budget increased to 50,000 NT, I would add better food, more activities, or extra supplies. The number of participants matters because fixed costs, like the bus, are shared by more people, making the cost per person lower. To minimize cost, I would choose the cheapest meal and two low-cost activities because this keeps the event affordable while still meeting the project requirements.
Math.pdfCoding reflection
This assignment I learned how to use variables to store user input. I made the cat ask for the length&width. Writing code is similar to solving a math problem because both require breaking a big task into smaller steps. In math, you use formulas, variables, and logic to find an answer. In coding, you also use variables, rules, and step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. There wasn't anything suprising to me about scratch.
I expanded my code to calculate volume by adding a third dimension. I asked the user for a third variable, "height," and used nested multiplication blocks to calculate volume.
