https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob How did the thinking strategy help you meet the learning target for today? If it did not, explain why. en-us 2018-09-19 19:53:17 UTC 2018-10-02 03:55:03 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/283688723 I think that the reflection strategy, whcih was model and represent, wasn’t helpful to me during the lesson. This is because modeling the problem and understanding it visually didn’t add to my knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem, or clarified anything about it that I already didn’t understand]]> 2018-09-20 00:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/283688723 https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/283697638 I do believe that modeling and representing helped me meet the learning target because I was able to find out what the equation, a² + b² = c² (or the pithagoream theorem), represented and how it works when determining whether or not, three side-lengths of three squares make a right triangle when connected.  ]]> 2018-09-20 01:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/283697638 https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/283727574 I do think that modeling and representing helped me because, in the past I had just blindly knew the formula and didn’t really understand why exactly it was a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Now I understand it is because if you multiply a number by itself, it creates a square, which is like what we did in class, joining the three squares to make a right triangle. When we were joining the squares, the two smaller squares would be equal to the bigger square, just like the formula.]]> 2018-09-20 04:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/283727574 https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/283732028 Modeling and representing helped me meet the learning target because I was able to see the corners of the squares connecting to each other to make  a triangle. This helped visualize when the different side lengths of the squares would make up an acute, obtuse, or a right triangle when it is added and compared to the largest square. If it is not modeled, you cannot be sure of what  kind of triangle it is -Kevin]]> 2018-09-20 05:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/283732028 https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/284815730 The model did not help me as I already understood this concept. This did not help my understanding. The lesson could help others at the end by telling them that A squared literally means a square with length and width A.]]> 2018-09-23 23:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/284815730 https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/284858310 The model helped me meet the learning target because using visual objects helped me understand the what squares, together, created a certain type of triangle. These models didn't help me with my background knowledge of the Pythagorean theorem, but it helped me with learning what side lengths made the different types of triangles.]]> 2018-09-24 05:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/284858310 https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/285026423 The models and representations helped form a picture in my head that I can refer to. Normally, I don’t have a model to help me at the start. But, after progressing on and doing more things with triangles, I feel that you probably don’t need it anymore. Yes, maybe it did help other people get the learning targets but modeling is like a way to check my work, I don’t use it often. Still, I think it did contribute  to helping me meet
 the learning target.]]> 2018-09-24 14:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/285026423 https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/287838204 I think the modeling and representation helped me because I could use the equation in real life scenarios. It also helped me use models and see them in a different, 3D way. I was able to move and turn at model instead of just staring at a book, which helped me get new answers. This helped me with the learning target, which was about solving real-world problems.]]> 2018-10-01 19:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/Desikachari/vxv2zaxkirob/wish/287838204
