Category: Grade 10

To my grade 11 self

When you are given a project make sure that you start working on it as soon as it is given so they you can put more effort into it to get a higher mark. Make sure that you participate in class more and don’t be afraid to get things wrong. You need to work on using more complex words in essays and stop repeating the same words over and over again.  Make sure that you put in hard work all semester so that you can get a good grade.

Much a do about nothing Reflection

From our Bard on the Beach workshop i have learned more about the language of Shakespeare. I have learned about the uses of Thee and Thou and they both are the equivalent to you but for different contexts. I liked doing the tableau’s to help learn about the play. I think the tableau’s helped me learn more than doing the acting. I also liked the insult battle because it relates to our society and it was also pretty funny making up words.

What I learned this week: FOIL

First term in each bracket
Outside terms
Inside terms
Last term in each bracket

Foil is an acronym for the four steps above. It is used when multiplying two binomials together. (a+b)(c+d) is equivalent to (ac+ad+bc+bd)

(2b+5)(3a+5)
F(6ab)+O(10b)+I(15a)+L(25)

If there is a coefficient make sure that you don’t use the distributive property until you have simplified the expression as much as possible.

“The Watch”

How do we recover from tragedy?

In the short story “The Watch” by Elie Wiesel, the author finds a way to recover from the tragedy of the Holocaust. He starts imagining Jewish practices; “I thought I heard the chanting of school boys studying Talmud”(pg3) giving him the thought that its not gone, that the Jewish religion has survived the Holocaust and will still continue on in history. He wants to forget about his experiences; “I tell myself that probably I simply wanted to leave behind me, underneath the silent soil.”(pg3). The author has started to recover from such a horrible experience by putting it behind him and burying his feelings so he can start new.

Finding the Volume of a Cylinder

abcd

Finding the volume of a cylinder is pretty easy. To complete this problem you will have to find the height and the area of the base(Abase).

Step 1: Write out the equation in the example above and then you you put in the numbers that you know like the height and radius.
Step 2: For this step you have to evaluate the problem to find the volume of the cylinder. Once you have found the volume dont forget the add cm3.

 

Using Unit Analysis to Convert within SI Units

azsdf

To convert within SI you must first find your conversion factor which is dependent on what measurements you’re converting. In the case of the example above the conversion factor will be how many centimeters in a meter. There are 100cm in every 1m so that means our conversion factor in 100cm/1m. The reason for 1m being in the denominator is because we need cancel out the m so that we are only left with cm. After that you have to multiply the denominator and numerator and in some cases you will need to divide the numerator by the denominator to get your answer.
