Ten Algebraic Commandments

  • Which "commandment" or "commandments" have you "broken"?
    I've broken commandment six. It said I had to switch the operation for my final answer. When doing those problems i always forget to do that and so i get the wrong answer which has effected my grade in math at times.
  • What are you doing to "keep" these "commandments"?
    To be able to keep these commandments I'm going to have to remind myself to switch the operation to get the correct answer in the end to the variable.
  • What is your overall thought of the video?
    My overall thought of the video was, to be honest, it was kind of boring because of the music tempo in the back and the words just coming out of no where. But I kind of don't believe in the Ten Algebraic Commandments because there are so many ways to do math, there should be way more than Ten Algebraic Commandments.

Mathematics Seen in Photo B

The mathematics I see in Photo B is where a lot of people are in a mall. Obvisouly shopping, while shopping you tend to buy things which include money. Money is math. You have to keep track on what your spending and if what your spending is good. Also while your shopping, there can be a sale in a store. When you spend, you have to see how much you save in the sale between the original price and the sale price. Many people can spend hundreds of dollars on clothing, on tech stores, on about anything in malls. Another math related I see in Photo B is how much it took to build the mall and how much electricity/light the mall has to pay off, that is a lot of money's worth ! (:
