WEEK 4 ASSIGNMENT

Skills Being Assessed

Productivity (Organization)

Overview

Organization is a foundation for productivity as well as for solving math problems. In MAT110, applying organizational skills is two-fold. First, it is essential to being productive, for example, when you organize your workspace and manage your time, which allows you to be a successful student. Second, organizational skills are also essential when solving math problems since you must plan how to solve a problem, organize the steps in a logical order, and work efficiently through those steps. Each time you solve a math problem, you are strengthening your organizational skills, which are valued by employers and will help you lead a more productive life.

Each of these problems will assess your ability to explain how you would apply organizational skills to math problems in real-world situations. This skill is valuable in the workplace and in everyday activities where math is necessary.
