1 Hunter

In the story 1
Hunter by Pat Hutchins, depicts the
adventures of a hunter on his journey through the jungle as he counts the
different animals he sees on his journey. The story begins with the single
hunter and continues to add 2 elephants, 3 giraffes and so on. The story does
not use many words but the images that are shown are very colorful and
descriptive in themselves.

The story 1
Hunter explains the concept of linear growth. Because as each group of
animals is found the original number gets added by one. The equation in other
words is f(x)=x+1. X being the previous number. For example x=1 hunter,
f(1)=1+1 which then results in f(1)=2, 2 being the number of elephants which
follows.

Literature is a very effective way to learn a
mathematical concept because it allows people to understand the concept in a
far simpler way and can provide visual aid to those who need it.
I like how you showed the equation for the story, it helps put it into perspective.
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 is very simply explained but I couldn't have said it better myself.
ReplyDeleteDope job on this one. I really dig your summary of the story, your words really bring it to life. Kind of short but maybe mine is just too long.
ReplyDeletejenna,
ReplyDeletegood story! i have never heard of it! i will add it to my collection! =] i really like how you used this text to talk about linear growth, but i also really like how you showed a mathematical formula to connect the simple concepts in the text to the complex concepts in our class. kudos!
