Patterns can be found in polynomials using number equations or algebra tiles….. 1) Multiplying 2 Binomials- If we have, ex. (x+2) (x+3) , we can find all 3 terms without doing double distributive: -First term: multiply the first 2 terms together, = […]

Week 9- Math 10
Factoring Polynomials One concept that stumped me at first this week was finding the GCF while factoring polynomials. *Side Note: factoring polynomials = the opposite of multiplying polynomials, so we put the brackets back in the question! In this question during the lesson, we were asked to find the factored form of: 12ab + After I […]
Week 8- Math 10
One question that stumped me this week was during our first lesson of multiplying polynomials. (2x -4) (x -3) I wasn’t sure how to distrubute it as both terms are within brackets. I then realized that we can still distribute the first term to the second term, just in 2 separate parts. (Photo below) This made […]

Big Ideas- TKAM
If- Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, […]
Week 7- Math 10
One question that stumped me this week was a word problem based on finding a missing angle in the equation. At first, I thought that the 400 m would be thy hypotenuse. When I was informed that it was the horizantal of the mine shaft (the ground) , then I figured out that I needed to use […]
Solving Trig Equations
1) In this problem we need to find x, being an angle in the right triangle. To solve this missing angle, we use sine with the two side lengths we are given. (Opposite/Adjacent) Then, we move sine to the opposite side of the equation, leaving us with it’s opposite: sine-1. We multiply this with the fraction […]
Week 6- Math 10
One concept that stumped me this week was using trig to find missing side lengths. By using SOH CAH TOA and the following steps it is simple to solve. 1) Find the reference angle 2) Lable the sides 3) Find the ratio (SOH CAH TOA) 4) Plug into the equation 5) Solve! An example we […]
Inquiry Post #1 Caged Bird
What may lead to a lack of self empowerment? The poem “Caged Bird”, shows themes of self empowerment and the desire of freedom to express one’s self as a human being. What are factors that can diminish someones confidence or self empowerment? A rejection or refusal of hope. In the poem, we see a free […]
Week 5- Math 10
One concept that stumped me this week was in the new measurement unit: Unit Analysis When we were given the first question- 50 km/hr = _____ m/s I wasn’t sure what would be the best way to solve this without using the number line. During the lesson, we started with what we knew about km, hr, […]
