MATH

Concepts

  • Probability

    • The odds of an event occuring​

  • The Fundamental Counting Principle

    • If one event has "x" possible outcomes and another event has "y" possible outcomes then x*y is equal to the how many outcomes they have together​

  • Relative Area

    • Margin of error, a difference above or below your answer​

  • Permutations

    • A set of numbers where order is important​

  • Combinations

    • x things taken y at a time without repetition​ (written as x! over y!(x-y)!

  • Tree Diagramming

    • A way of writing an event and listing every possible outcome of that event​

  • ‘e’ and logarithms

    • e means natural log, a quantity representing the power to which a fixed number (the base) must be raised to produce a given number.​

  • The Law of Large Numbers

    • The more trials you do, the closer your expiriemntal probability comes to your theoretical probability​

  • Theoretical and Experimental Probability

    • Theoretical is what the odds are for an event when calculated mathematically &​ Experimental probability is the odds of an event when caclulated through trials of the event.

MATH REFLECTION

A time that I struggled with math was in 9th and 10th grade. Due to my ADHD I was having a difficult time understanding the math concepts we went over in class. I had an amazing teach who really wanted me to succeed and she offered to help me during lunch on my math. I started going in and after a few weeks that one on one math help really helped me understand the math that I missed in class.

​

The law of large numbers activity where we flipped a coin one hundred times didn't help me understand the principle anymore because I already knew it, but it helped my realize how many minor things in my everyday life is a probability question.

​

Expression in math is important for anyone trying to explain a concept, but I think that it is the most important for math teachers where being precise and clear is pertinent to helping students understand math.

​

As of right now I don't think math will hold any important place in my future. Of course I will use math in my everyday life, but I don't see myself entering a career path that will require copious usage of math.
