Zach’s Math Profile

9/12/16. Zach’s Profile

I think for as long as I can remember I always took the long way in math. In the past it wasn’t a problem because we didn’t have tests. But in the past year when we do in class tests it is hard to finish. What I like most about math is learning new strategies. A lot of the time it’s really fun to have trouble with a problem and all the sudden just learn an alternative. I don’t really like when I miss something in math class and don’t write it down. I consider myself a good math student but my time manage is a little off. I leave everything to last minute. I study by making problems for myself and reviewing the notes I took in class. Whenever I get stuck I either ask my parents or I ask the teacher.

If you look at the way is shaped you’ll see. When ever somebody dies a baby is born. But than 1 more baby is born to keep  the system unbalance so it grows. Learning that it started at 5 million made me to change everything. Such As the data points, the x/y axis and I had to use more room on the sheet. For my x/y axis I was counting by 10,000 so I had 4 places to put data points in 100 years. For me that was helpful. I was having some trouble figuring out the way my graph will take form but I realized the more poeple there are the more people are going to die. That helped me the most.

The last one on the bottom (B) starts at five meters and all of the others start at zero. Everybody used different amounts of seconds so the shapes all look different. So there is know way of telling whose right or wrong from just looking at it. The second one down in (A) is not supposed to be a strait progression because there are a lot of stops. The person  who made that graph was a little confused. Anyway that you put that graph it is wrong. You couldn’t put it in any list of graphs what so ever. Also there are no lines in between some of the graphs and the should be because progress is being made. Most of the shapes on graph (B) look the same because the people who decided to do that graph used the same amount of seconds. Though one graph in particular (mine) in (C) is going up in a slightly less curved way then all the others.
