This week in math, we learnt more about recognizing different equations and how to write them.   Something I had trouble with was converting point slope form into general form. Point Slope form has the slope in front of brackets, coordinates of the x axis and this equals to Y and the y axis coordinates . […]

This week we were adding onto the relations unit and talked about linear relations. Meaning a relation that ends up being a straight line, an important term that will often be used in this unit is SLOPE: rise over run. The way we can remember this that we RISE before we run, using the y […]

This week in math 10, we were introduced to graphing. In this unit the math was quite simple. The most troubling part was the vocabulary. If you understood what you were being told to do, it all made sense. An example: The cost of jelly beans is related to the weight.  In this example C […]

This week in math 11 we continued learning about polynomials. There were different strategies that we learned to simplify polynomials such as the claw, the area model, FOIL and algebra tiles. The most difficult strategy for me was the FOIL method, I was never able to identify when or how to use it but eventually, […]

This week in math 10 how to factor and expand fractional polynomials. These questions seemed difficult at first but once I used methods we’ve learned before, I got the hang of it. To do this, I followed three simple steps: Recognize polynomials. Identify binomials and trinomials. Find the product of a monomial and binomial. A […]

This week we reviewed polynomials. We learned about binomials, how to find like terms and how resolve questions using different strategies such as the block method, the foil method, distributing, using models or area grids. A simple question that I had over- complicated was ( 4a +4) (3a – 2) To answer this question you […]

This week in math 10 the most challenging thing to understand was the word problems. For these type of questions the best way to find the answers was by using logic. If dimensions were given the best way to start was drawing out the image. Then labeling the sides make a very big difference because […]

This week in trigonometry we reviewed simple triangle rules. Each triangle has three sides, the hypotenuse the opposite and the adjacent. In each right triangle there are 90 degree angles and sometimes a given angle which helped us indicate the third angle. We used sine, cosine and tangent to find these angles.  When an angle […]
