This week I learned how to do binomial multiplication using the window method. I had heard of the window method before, and had used but using it for polynomials was new for me. It is similar to the normal window but you have to be aware of the variables. To create the window, we must […]

This week we finished our trigonometry unit and began polynomials. Although most of what we did was review from last year, I was still able to learn how to solve binomial equations algebraically. Before I would draw pictures or use the window method, which worked fine but I feel as though I can answer equations […]

This week we began our new unit of trigonometry. At first, I thought it would be difficult because this would be our first time seeing it. However, with a few practice questions and being able to remember the term SOH CAH TOA, I was able to figure everything out quite easily. As long as you […]

Although this week was mostly review for a measurement unit test, I was still able to learn something. This week I learned how to find the surface area and volume of a sphere. Did you know that 2 cones are the same as 1 sphere? Or that 1 cone is the same as a hemisphere? […]

his week we began our new unit, measurements. For some reason, I struggled a lot trying to understand what was being taught. But I learned a lot from the mistakes I made this week. One thing I learned that was interesting was how to find the surface area and volume of a cone. Although pyramids […]

This week we had our unit test for exponents. Although we didn’t really get taught anything new, I did learn/realize something. For a question that has a negative fractional 4exponent, I was often confused which law to start with. Some people started with the negative law and others with the fractional law. For some reason, […]

This week we started our new unit, exponents. Although exponents have never been my favourite math unit, I am not minding them as much this year. This week I learned the term “Flower Power” and how to use it. It is a simple term to help us remember what to do when we see a […]

This week I learned how to convert an entire radical into a mixed radical and vise-Versa. Although I did have to practice it a few times, I can now understand what to do. So to find the mixed radical of an entire radical we first must find the factors. The factors of 24 are 1, […]
