You Have Impressed Me!

Great teamwork, students! I love reading your comments on the posts. Now, for a bit more.....

Please go back and read your classmates comments. Simply click on "Comments" at the end of a post. Read some of your classmates comments and then pick 2 to comment back on! Add to the discussion. Also, consider these follow on questions to when you're reading others comments....

What ideas did a classmate have that you did not have? What surprised you about others' comments? How important is it to communicate really clearly when writing and speaking? How does accuracy in math play into accuracy in communication? I look forward to reading your work again! Keep checking in over the next 3 weeks for more posts and more questions.

This is Tim K. from your Block C class.

1.) Re: Jared Doran I like your idea about comparing Lincoln’s so-far civil war facts to givens. I didn’t see this a way narrow down his final conclusion.
2.) Re: Jacki Saunders I agree with your idea that Lincoln’s speech commemorates the fallen patriots that gave up their lives for their beliefs. I liked how you worded it as “heroes”.
It is really important to clearly in both writing and speaking. In both cases, you need to exactly state what you’re arguing for. Otherwise your audience will be confused or may misinterpret what you say. This is especially true in writing as your audience cannot see your face/expression. Accuracy in math is showed in the work you show and the units you give. That way, people will understand exactly where got your numbers.

Hi this is Thomas Moylan from Block C.

My topic about how people use teamwork in math and how math teams up with other topics. Music and math make a great team. The musical scales use ratios all the time to keep the beat on track. To make a good music, every band member must keep tract of all their ratios and play at the right tempo. Math relates with numerous other topics and is used in daily life. Just because you are not writing with pen and paper, doesn't mean you're not doing math.
