This is a change up to the math we’ve been dealing with recently as it offers a way more visual component to it. It taught me how to further deal with expressions through input and output (putting numbers into a variable to see a different outcome). It is a skill that can be used in things like graphing etc. and using input and output methods using graphs, ordered pairs, table of values, and mapping diagrams which overall just show the relation between the independent and dependent variables. Below I have showed you what the different methods look like, as they’re plenty to choose from which can make it easier to find which one is best suited for you, makes the most sense.

Throughout all the chapters we have learned so far many connections can be found that can be used to create memorization techniques. I have chosen to show you the connection I made between GCF and LCM and the polynomial unit we just recently looked at. Looking at knowledge from previous units that we are able to place on the next really allows for deeper understanding of a topic. In the most recent unit we studied (polynomials) I came across factoring, which I found decently easy when it came to the basics but then we go to further factoring with larger numbers and it started to confuse me, as it just looked to be to much. Then I started to look at it using a different perspective which really allowed me to understand it, once I started being able to see that I only needed to find the greatest common factor between these numbers is what really made it clear. Below I have shown you an example; which although make look very large (number wise) can actually be very small (using GCF).
