In unit one we learned about accuracy versus precision, graphing equations and what equation will cause what graph. We also learned about standard form and scientific notation. In unit one we covered very little but we went very in depth in our learning.

Accuracy versus precision: Accuracy is having one dart and hitting the dart board in the center. While precision is having lets say, ten darts and as you throw them they all hit roughly the same spot as the others. This means you're not accurate but you're precise, precision is basically consistency.

Learning about graph shapes and the algebraic representation of them was pretty interesting, i learned that in order for a line to be linear it had to have an equation of y=mx+b. I also learned that square roots can actually form graphs and if the graphed line were to keep going it would almost meet up but due to a certain law they never will.

We also learned that standard form is for example 4,000,000,000. This number is big and gross and ugly. In order for scientist to make things nicer and easier you simply cut it down to 4x10^9. This process is called scientific notation. It makes things much easier.
