We will be talking about four major concepts that always work together.

As part of your homework, watch the video below. It is strongly recommended that you write the answers down in some way, digitally or otherwise. After watching, reply with one detailed concept that you learned. Reply in this blog, not in your blog.
Having completed the first two problems of Chapter 4, you will benefit from watching an Australian speak on patterns using sticks. During the video, copy his match diagrams and the information that he places to the right of the diagram.
After you watch the video and copy the drawings, numbers, and rules write a 2-3 sentence reflection on the process of patterns and rules. Include answers to the following questions.
What aspect(s) of this video made the process more clear?
What is the first thing you look for when completing these problems?

How can logical thinking help you as an adult?
I learned that it is way easier to plug the X number back into the equation than I thought.
ReplyDeleteIn this video I learned that once you get an answer for x, it is a great idea to check your answer over by substituting x with your answer.
ReplyDeleteThe first video was a sort of review for me but it reminded me to make sure I go back to see if my answer works.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I learned is that if you plug in your answer for x and the numbers equal the same for each side of the equation after plugging in, then you have the right number for x
ReplyDeleteI thaught the video was very helpful. I learned That keeping your equal signs is very helpful.
ReplyDeleteSomething I learned is that when a negative sign is in front of a parenthesis it is the same as having a -1 in front if it. That way you just take the numbers that are in the perenthisis and times them by negative one to get rid of the perenthisis all together.
ReplyDeleteI learned that you can plug the answer you get into the equation to see if your answer is correct
ReplyDeleteOne of the proceses is that the big goal of solving an equation is to get X by itself. You should always combine terms first and get all constants on one side. Then when the only thing left is the co-efficient you just divide by the co-efficient and you will have X by itself.
ReplyDeleteA concept that I learned from the video is that you should check your answer every time by putting it in as "x".
ReplyDeleteSome facts that I learned is that It's important to put the x on the left hand side. Also, I learned that is important double check your answer so you don't get the wrong answer.
ReplyDeleteYou always want to have constant terms on one side, like having all x's.
ReplyDeleteIt helped when the teacher/demonstrator used different colors.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I do when I solve an equation is to make sure I wrote down the problem correctly.
I see the teacher/demonstrator working down.
That it is most likely better to have your x's on the left hand side and your other numbers on the right hand side
ReplyDeleteIf you put the X value back in to the equation you should get the same answer on both sides of the equations.
ReplyDeleteI learned that if you put the answer you got for X and the two sides equal each other then you got the answer right
ReplyDeleteWhat I have just learned by watching this video is that when you pug your number in for x on each side the number will be the same.
ReplyDeleteI figured out that it helps to re-check your work and to make sure it's right.
ReplyDeleteThis video helped me understand disturbing properties.
ReplyDeleteThe video was a review to me about how I learned how to re-check my answer (plug it in) and I reviewed that both sides have to equal the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI learned that when there is a - it really stands for a -1. So instead of not knowing what to multiply whatever is in the parenthesis by, you should always multiply it by -1.
ReplyDeleteThis video helped me understand the what to do with the parenthesis when solving for X
