Visual Patterns

Hi and we’ll show how to use the tiles to create a linear visual pattern and solve the linear equations with tiles.

Here are the instructions.

  • Create a new visual pattern
  • Take photos of the first 3 figures

  • Make a table of values for your pattern

n   1    2    3

r    2   4    6

  • DESCRIBE your pattern

This pattern is adding by 2 titles in each figure

  • Create a linear equation for your pattern (ex. S = 4f – 2,     C = 3n+1 )

R = 2n + 0

  • DESCRIBE What would the 15th figure look like.

R = 2(15) + 0

R = 30

  • Write two questions related to your pattern. Provide the answers to your pattern at the end of your post.

What would the 35th figure look like?

R = 2n + 0

R = 2(35) + 0

R = 70

  • When the R = 240 what would be the figure number?

240 = 2n + 0

240 – 0 = 2n

240 = 2n

240/2 = 2n/2

120 = n

240 = 2(120) + 0

240 = 240

Unit 1 Summary

Hi, I’m Caelum, and we learned how to evaluate powers which is exponential forms, expanded forms, and evaluated forms.

Write the exponential form, expanded form, and evaluated form:

Exponential form           Expanded form                                   Evaluated form

2^3                                 2 x 2 x 2                                             8

5^4                                 5 x 5 x 5 x 5                                       625

4^3                                 4 x 4 x 4                                             64

6^3                                 6 x 6 x 6                                             216

7^4                                 7 x 7 x 7 x 7                                       2401

 

That’s how I do exponential, expanded, and evaluated forms in math.

Indigenous Exploration – “Incarceration”

My Reflection

How does my artifact (audio recording) tie in with what I have learned before?

Before the audio recording, I have learned the residential school where the Indigenous people died especially the youth. The young children were separated from parents and sent to the residential school, They got mistreated and some children died at the residential school. This has a profound effect in Indigenous People’s mental health.

How has my thinking changed?

Before I was working on this Indigenous People Exploration Project, I learned about residential schools, after this project I start to know more about the Incarceration happened to the youth of the Indigenous People, According to the 2018 data from the department of justice Canada, aboriginal youth were almost eight times more likely to be in custody compared to their non-Aboriginal counterparts.

What made it change?

When I was doing the project research and material study, I get to know and to understand the cause and root, It raised my awareness and want to know better of the Indigenous community.
