One time in Algebra last year we were learning how to graph complex equations. Graphing is difficult for me because sometimes I mix up the Y-axis and the X-axis. Mrs. Denison helped me and told me a trick that I could use to remember the difference. She told me to think that the Y-axis is roman columns. This helped me because I knew that roman columns went up and down instead of sideways. I knew about Roman columns through the various projects we have done, and we learned more through the saturnalia projects this year. Thinking about Roman Columns made my connection stronger, and I think about that every time I graph something in math.
