Unit 3 Portfolio
Why does solving equations matter, I feel like solving equations can be useful with a couple of things. For Example, you can use engineering, the percentage using, and potential jobs/careers. In Engineering, you use differential equations which are mathematical tools to model engineering systems such as hydraulic flow, heat transfer, level controller of a tank, vibration isolation, electrical circuits, etc. Als a lot of potential jobs and careers that you might take will probably have some math in them.
We can solve equations in many ways, you can simplify them, analyze them, graph them, and show them algebraically.
E.Q:
In this unit, I feel like I am the proudest about, how I feel like I got distracted less by friend’s other classwork and by myself than the last unit.
What I want to work on moving forward as I continue studying and learning math, is to try to be more curious and find something to stick onto and to put more effort into my work in class and when doing homework. Why I want to grow in this area is because I want to feel more interested in my work and get better grades instead of either not doing it at all or giving up halfway through because I don’t like it. This is important to me because I don’t want to fail my math class for my first year of high school.
How have you grown as a mathematician in this unit? (As a collaborator? A problem-solver? A presenter?...)

POW #4
- Problem Statement: Restate the problem in your own words, so that someone unfamiliar with the problem would be able to understand and solve it.
- Process: To solve for this problem I sort of just counted up from one and circled all the numbers that weren’t divisible by one until I didn’t find anymore, and the one I found was the highest was 7. At first, I didn’t know that I had an impossible sore for a while until I got some help from Torrey and looked back over and over until I finally saw it.
- Solutions:
- The highest impossible score for the free thinker’s football team was 7 because,
- The other Problems I made were 2-3 and 4-3 for these two the highest impossible scores I got were 3 and 10.
- Reflection:
- I feel like my answers are right because I talked with Torrey to double-check my work./?
- Generally, with this POW, I feel like I need to work more on my organization, effort, and perseverance. I could work on this by trying to make time to meet with Torrey and other teachers, also I could try to procrastinate less and try to make the work interesting or fun. Something that could maybe help me move forward is to practice more and to challenge myself. Somethings that I learned from this POW are how to do complicated ways to solve equations. Personally I don’t know of a way to use those types of equations.
