This map’s sense of purpose is to assist people who do not understand calculus and the ideas of calculating the derivative and the integral, as part of the calculus curriculum. From the map’s title and content, I can derive that this is the purpose for the map. The audience is calculus students. Yet again, the title and the content would only serve their correct purpose if they were helping a student who is trying to learn calculus to do so. The context that this might be seen in would be in a calculus class room, or perhaps a teacher might photocopy this, so that the student can take it home and post a copy in the place in which they would do their studying. The map’s medium is a poster format, which is very suitable, because it’s mobile and has many uses. It can be viewed in class or distributed to take home. I am a little confused by the arrangement of this document as it appears very busy, and perhaps confusing to people trying to acquire the best knowledge from it. The strongest element of the document is the example problems at the bottom. Students who are confused will easily be able to understand from the idea of an example. I think the arrangement of the data map needs improvement, as well as the color. It seems very dull and dry. Part of getting information to students involves presenting it in an interesting way.

Sense of Purpose- This map’s purpose is to instruct those who are viewing the map, on how to calculate derivatives and integrals. The subject matter allows me to see that.
Audience- The audience would most likely consist of those who are curious about learning how to calculate derivatives and integrals, or it is targeted towards those who are currently taking a basic calculus class and just need a reference for such information. The content is what makes me think that it is targeted towards such an audience.
Context- I’m assuming that this type of media would be found in either a math help site, math class room, or any other math related environment. The student would be needing assistance or else they wouldn’t be reviewing the poster.
Strategies- It seems to be a step by step approach to teaching the process. Examples are provided which are useful. It is split up into two columns to prevent confusion. Math is generally a logical process, so the information is arranged logically. The creator tries to leave out as much language as possible and represents everything with variables initially.
Medium- Its final medium will be a visual representation of how to process integrals and derivatives in possibly a poster form or pamphlet.
Arrangement- The arrangement consists of a heading, two columns, and an area with examples. It basically tries to teach the idea, and then shows how it is executed.
Strongest Element- It is very apparent what you are trying to accomplish by creating this map, you lay everything out for the viewer.
Areas of Improvement- It might be useful to color code things according to exponents, constants, deleted constants, etc. As of right now, if one wasn’t sure what derivatives were, it might be hard to see what is actually going on.

The purpose of this map is to show people how to do Derivatives and Integrals of Polynomials. The title helps define this.
The audience is people starting out Calculus. It would help if you put on the data map what it is for. I can understand that it is for Derivatives and Integrals, but you should also put something like, Understanding the essentials of Calculus.
The context would be in a simple handout in a classroom, a book, poster, website. It could vary depending on what you would want to do.
The strategey that they are trying to do is a step by step approach. You can see this by how they numbered each step of the derivatives and integrals.
Its final medium of this map can vary. I can see it as a handout in a classroom or in a book.
The map is arranged in a simple format. Easily to understand where to go after you are done with one part of it.
The strongest part is that there are examples shown on how they work.
I would have to say that for improvements you might consider adding some color to things that change and leaving things that stay the same the same color throughout the example.
The purpose of this map is to show how to do derivatives and integrals with step by step. The audience of this map would be anyone needing a refresher in calculus or trying to learn calculus for the first time. The features of the map that makes it seem that way is someone would have to have a idea of what calculus is and what those certain equation were used for. The context of the map would be maybe a help website the beginning a higher level calculus course as a refresher. Strategies this map uses would be the examples to help explain the equations on top. The medium would be a sheet of paper or part of a booklet to explain calculus. The arrangement is the equations on top and the examples on bottom. It helps suit the purpose by showing these are the equations you use and this is how you use them. The strongest element of the map is probably the examples because it explains what is actually going on in the map and the purpose. The part that needs improvement is an explanation of what the letters mean in the equations.

The sense of purpose of this map is to teach someone the basic elements behind calculus without ever having extensive knowledge of the subject.
The audience of this piece is going to be people that are new to calculus, probably someone that is a senior in high school or a freshman in college. This is shown by the simplicity of the instructions and the individual steps that go through the problem solving process.
This graphic would most likely be found at a place that helps people learn and hone their math skills, most likely a web site that helps people with math or in an office of someone that tutors people in calculus. It could also be in a beginning calculus textbook.
This map breaks these complicated problems down into several basic steps that someone learning calculus should be able to understand. The parts are all clearly defined and easy for someone to read.
The final medium of this map will most likely be a web site that helps people learn different aspects of math. The map would be presented to the correct audience for people wanting to learn this subject.
This map is arranged to show each problem separately. The derivatives have one half and integrals have the other half, each with specific steps. A line helps separate the problem solving steps from actual examples that support the steps.
