Reflection:
“How will I apply my learnings in real-life problems and making decisions?”
I understand that...
In this lesson, we need to analyze each problem. In order to understand, we should
get and spread out the information we analyzed in the problem and understand the
procedure so that we can identify the formula.
I realized that …
Just like in real-life problems, We should analyze and identify each given and
information carefully so that we can solve the problem efficiently.
