Reflection Questions: How did the Project go? What should I do with what I've learned and how should I respond to what I did not learn? How have I been changed by what I've learned? 1. I learned about how exponents work and how to use exponents in other parts of math not related to the unit. I used to not be as good at doing problems with negative exponents and quotient rule problems but am now pretty good at doing them. I think the most interesting thing is the difference between the Distributive Exponent Rule and the Power of a Power Exponent Rule, the thing is there isn't much of a difference. So thinking about past mathamaticians trying to figure out the difference makes it interesting. The least interesting thing is probably the Zero Power Rule, the reason it is not as interesting is because the answer is almost always going to be 1. Math is one of those subjects that may not be the most interesting to learn about, but in order for someone to learn something they may need to think about how the subject may impact there life in the future. I think I still need help with the addition of radicals when were talking about exponents, but other than that I feel when talking about exponent rules I have finally mastered it.
2. Well as I explained in the first question, things I or someone else may have learned from this website can use it in future units and in future subjects, college courses, and careers. And when someone has learned the rules they can take time to completely master them. I can share this with others in my class, people from other schools who may be doing math, and even parents who are confused on why were using different methods than they were using when they were once in high school. I feel like people in my class would benefit the most, they could use these methods throughout the course. Its crazy to think that the knowledge that I share with other high schoolers can help them just as I am helping myself.
3. I feel this working on this page improved my knowledge and hope it can improve other exponent knowledge. As I explained in the last slide, our parents had different methods of doing these problems when they were in high school. So maybe asking them the methods they used if the method i'm using may not be the easiest. Again as I explained people can take what they learned and use it in however many days they need it. It all depends on what kind of career they may choose and if it relates to math in any way.
