The Input-Output-Machine of Life, Math, Learning & You: Partie un de trois - Life
Any Input put into -> A Machine -> Gives an Output.
Today’s article on MATH by EDISON reinforces much of what I’ve written about for the last year - that understanding strategies on how to learn math is the key to getting closer to your Objective in math.
The Input-Output-Machine of Life
The Input-Output-Machine is a key commonality that exists between Life, Math, Learning & You. Input-Output-Machine is the name I’ve given it to help my students learn and understand math better; there may be other names.
1️⃣ Today, Objective of Partie un (Part one)? Have you understand* how the Input-Output-Machine works in life.
2️⃣ Tomorrow is Partie deux de trois (Part two of three), math! Will have you understand* how the Input-Output-Machine shows up everywhere in math.
3️⃣ Next week, final part, Partie trois de trois is understanding* Learning & You.
*Understanding means it makes sense to you; that’s my objective. Understanding also means you can replicate it in other areas; that’s my objective.
😊 squeezing a bit of levity into the title, ‘partie un de trois’ (part one of three) … as Canada is a bilingual country (English and French).
By the end of this three-part series, and possibly even after this first part, you'll have a better understanding of why you are not achieving some of your goals, and what you need to change. Your goals, as you are about to discover, are the result (the output) of your actions (inputs).
Examples of Input-Output-Machines in life
1. Vending machine: You put $1 (input) in the vending machine and you get a bottle of water (output)
2. Dishwasher is a machine: Has one purpose - put in dirty dishes in the dishwasher machine, clean dishes are the output.
3. A washing machine: Put in dirty clothes (input) in the machine, clean clothes are the output.
Important in an Input-Output-Machine: You must understand the purpose of the machine, as that tells you what to put in. You wouldn't put dirty clothes in a dishwasher … I mean, you could, but … you wouldn't be happy with the output. Or you could put dirty dishes in a washing machine … as they are 'dirty' ... but ...
Once you understand the machine you’ll know
