Six Word Stories: For our first assignment, we did a get to know you icebreaker. We all went on a collaborative slideshow and edited a slide. In our individual slide, we could add pictures and design it however we wanted to express ourselves, but could only use SIX sentences and SIX words to describe ourselves. I put a meme that I thought was silly and wrote down: 1) My family and friends are precious!
2) I love to draw and design
3) Dressing nice is important to me
4) My love language is gift giving
5) I prefer dogs over cats (sorry)
6) I love to collect cute trinkets!
Module 1: We watched a video that explained math in other bases and were given examples afterwords with the professor. The homework given gave us the chance to try it out ourselves. EXAMPLE: Show 15 in base 4. You draw a visual of 15 (I did squares), you then make places chart with 4^0 and 4^1. Since there are 3 groups of 4 and 3 extra, you put the 3 in the 4^1 place and 3 in the 4^0 place.
Math In Other Bases
Module 2 Homework: We were given a handful of questions relating to the topics mentioned in Module 2. EXAMPLE: Write 3,087 in expanded form. I would put 3,000 + 80 + 7.
Module 2: We dove into place value using visual guides that were also interactable with. We revisited how to identify a number in word form, standard form, and expanded form. We also did some rounding and place value.

Addition and Subtraction Slideshow
Module 3: We connected information from Module 2 (like expanded form) to learn different ways to subtract and add. We used a block form, a number line, traditional, and expanded form. EXAMPLE: Show 105 - 51 on a number line. I would mark a spot on the number line as 105. I would then make 5 jumps of 10 to the left, representing minus 50. Then I would make 1 jump of one, representing minus 1. So that would mean 105 -51 = 54
Module 4: As a class, we watched videos to revisit and discover some new ways to subtract and add. There were tools like arrays, number lines, repeated addition/subtraction, skip counting, lattice, area model. EXAMPLE: Show 3 x 10 on the number line. I would start at 0 and make jumps of 3 ten times. That would get me 30.

Module 5: We went over some concepts like prime numbers, divisibility, and factorization; all of which I was familiar with and just needed to relearn. There was no homework activity, but we did go over examples in class.
