What was I Trying to Find Out?
In the world, problem solving has been selected to be the most relevant skills needed in order for human beings to survive dominantly on this planet in the future. Therefore, in this unit, we learned how to train your mind to think of deductive reasonings to find resolutions to various types of conflicts and understand the usage of them in the future. What did I Discover? After doing some random calculations, I have discovered that the answer for the first problem is 12, 17 and 8 because the rule of the problem is that the addition of the numbers in the squares should result in the numbers of the circles. Therefore, if you calculate all of the possibilities that can be the resolution to the problem, you will find out that adding the number 8, 17 and 12, will result to one of the numbers in the circle which are 20, 29, and 25. What Surprised me? What surprised me during this unit is that even though not always, in the future, deductive reasoning will be one of the most relevant skill you might need to accomplish because as technology improves, it may start to destroy human lives. Therefore, in case that happens, we need to be aware of what is the conflict and what is the best way to find the resolution to it. What was I Good at? During this unit, I think I was good at figuring out the possibilities which needs to be eliminated because I listed all the possibilities in my notebook and tried different equations by using it carefully to find the best solution to solve the problem without having any possible consequences. What do I still need to Practice? However, I think I still need to practice understanding the connections between patterns and deductive reasoning because deductive reasoning is a method to solve patterns, but if you don't understand about it, in the future, the knowledge you might be using to achieve your goals might be unbalanced for you to improve yourself. Conclusion For conclusion, I hope everybody can understand the connection between patterns and deductive reasoning to make the world a better place in the future.

What was I Trying to Find Out?
What do you need to do to solve mathematical problems? Crate your equations? Know how to use operations appropriately in certain situations? I agree with you, but in every problems are patterns to be recognized. Most people don't notice about this. Therefore, in this unit, we tried to find out the definition of patterns and understand the usage of it. What did I Discover? After doing random equations and etc, I discovered that patterns are not only shapes, but numbers because as we check though interesting images about patterns, we realized that it is a subject which changes its formation, number, design, and etc repetitively forever with a certain type of rule. For example, if we want to figure out a challenging problem, we need to find out the pattern carefully to find the resolution of it much more easier. What Surprised me? What surprise me during this unit was that whether the pattern is difficult or easy, it can always turn itself into various types of equations which can give interesting resolutions. For example, when we were solving the rule of the pattern which Mr.Pug gave, I found the resolution easily with having the answer of X x 2 + 4 = Y. However, I could have also represent it in an algebraic way like this down below. 2X + 4 = Y What was I Good at? 'I think I was good at using algebraic equations to solve rules of different patterns because I think I did a great job of that understanding the connections between them and use it for my advantage to solve more challenging problems. For example, if 2 is X and the Y is 4, the rule or an equation for this is multiply the X twice. What do I still need to Practice? However, I think I still need to work on solving rules of patterns in an easier way because when I was trying to find out equations of the patterns, even though it looks easy, I still had difficulties solving it due to thinking it to hard for myself. Therefore, I think next time, I should think of how many operations there are in the pattern and solve it carefully. What do I want to know now? Next time, I want to inquire though are there problems that doesn't have a pattern because even though it is dimensional, I don't know if it is relevant enough to form every problem you solve. That not only includes math problems, but also other important conflicts like moving forward to achieve our goals. Conclusion For conclusion, I hope this had been an great experience to understand the usage of patterns to solve different problems. What are the Rules of Sudoku?
The rules of Sudoku is that there are 9 rows which each row have 9 boxes with all of them having 9 different numbers with each other. As same as the rows, there are 9 columns which needs to have 9 different numbers in each box. Also, if you see carefully there will be 9 huge boxes. In each box, there needs to have small boxes with 9 different numbers as well. Furthermore, there are some missing numbers you need to fill to finish the game. Therefore, we need to use deduction to find missing numbers and fill it in boxes to create new rows and etc... How did I find the Solution? I figured this problem out by finding out missing numbers of one of the huge boxes which has many other small boxes with the numbers already filled in. The reason I used this trick is because if you find the missing numbers in the huge boxes first, you will soon be able to find out the unknown subjects of columns and rows one at a time until you discover all of them to accomplish this popular deduction game. Can I Think of any other Times I can use Deduction to find Missing Information? I can use deduction when I'm playing chess because the results depends on your decision making of how you move the chess into different positions. Therefore, you need to deduct using the rules of the game to take advantage of your location to capture the king. When do I use Patterns to find Missing Information? I use patterns to find missing information when I'm buying something with an interesting discount which is more unusual than any other prices because when you're calculating the prices of something with a discount, just like algebra, there is a pattern of using complement equations to find various answers. For example, to figure out the price of this something which costs $5,000 with a 50% discount, the solution would be 5,000 x 50% = 5,000 x 0.5 = $2,500. Conclusion For conclusion, I hope this has been a great experience to check back to deduction skills to justify my claim much effectively. |
