Ten Algebraic Commandments

I found this video very intersting and smart. To me,this video tells about what to do and understand in order to pass math. To be honest, i simply enjoyed watching this video. The commandment i felt like i  broke was commandment 3 ("Thou shall do unto one side of the equation what thou dost to the other"). Before i came to Lourdes Academy, i wasn't taught  math like i am now.When i started learning about it,  i was clueless and would always forget to do the other side which ended up making me confused. Right now, i got the hang of it . I keep looking back in my notes and paying close attenttion to the teacher teaching the lesson so i can fully understand it, which i do now! =).My overall thought of this video was it was very clever to watch and i really enjoyed it !

"Mathematics Seen in Photo A"

I experience mathematics in Photo A because for one thing, the total of cars shown . There are many ways to determine a mathematical equation in Photo A. For Example w times the number of black cars = red cars, the number of black cars plus the number of white cars or just simply counting the cars is mathematics as well. Another thing in Photo A that shows mathematics is the numbers of signs shown. You can, as i said bfore , simply count them or if you are in a road trip, you can count how many green signs you will see until it gets you to your destination. So in closing i choose Photo A. =)
