Transformations Unit Core Competencies

During the transformation unit, I had the opportunity to improve my critical/creative thinking skills and my communication skills. The transformations unit requires a lot of creativity in order to apply our learning. I did not always understand what the question was asking; however, I took a creative approach to solving the question. Figuring out ways to remember that the X value is the opposite while inside the function was quite difficult for me. “The teenager effect” proved to be a very effective way to teach me an essential point of the transformation unit. This unit requires a fair amount of algebra and concepts in order to solve the questions and I got to improve my critical thinking skills through every lesson. One of the most valuable lessons that I have learned is to use my support system. Therefore, whenever I had a question or I wasn’t 100 percent sure how to answer it, I would communicate with my peers and Mr. Muro to enrich my understandings. This transformations Unit has allowed me to grow as a mathematician and develop more skills to succeed in my Pre-Calculus 12 course.
