"You use tools like sketched graphs, written descriptions, and algebraic manipulations to solve problems without being prompted, choosing the tools that helped you understand the given function/description/graph and plan your approach. This helped you tackle the more unfamiliar aspects of polynomials and are the exact tools you want to use when working to approach a novel problem. You are currently earning an A+. Ashley, keep up the great work, and never stop sharing your ideas in class and group discussion!"
