Week 1 Response to Math Sheet

         Ugh I am so rusty in math it isn't even funny at this point. Upon originally looking at this sheet of math I didn't think I'd have any problem of calculating it though. However upon going though the sheet I noticed I'm auto inclined to use a calculator in my thinking because its what I use from day to day life. I had to pause and think what three to the third power was and I felt bad because I had those drilled into my head back in grade school. I guess I'm just use to calculators and computers doing out the math for me I don' t even think about it that much anymore. I also notice that I over think problems to a painful point. there was a question regarding why a clerk got the price question incorrect, I auto thought if I had to do anything with the sales tax because I knew there was going to be funky decimals because the numbers might be weird. Over all the sheet was a good way for me to go back and realize how much I depend on technology to do the math for me and not myself.
